perfect vacation home for a large family
We spent our thanksgiving holiday here with a family of nine and it was an amazing. The rooms worked out well for each member and we had plenty of space to spread out for kids and adults. We only had one hiccup which was no hot water when we arrived but the property managers worked to get that fixed quickly as possible, even during a holiday hours. Very pleased with our stay and would choose this home or another property with this company again.

Family Trip
Pros: The location of this property was the best part. The property provided a good amount of towels and each set was individually wrapped which I personally liked. The amount have space was also nice since we had a family of 12. The central vacuum was amazing! The porches were spacious and had enough chairs. Cons: The cleanliness needed improvements. Underneath the couch looked liked it had not been vacuumed in awhile. In between the couch and futon needed to be cleaned. The couch should be replaced it is worn. The area rugs needed some deep cleaning. The shower I used had mold built up that needs to be removed and redone. This was not anyones fault but the AC was not working properly which is a nightmare for anyone’s beach trip. However if it did not break we would not have met the best HVAC technician. Alan was amazing and our family was so glad to have met him. He had the best customer service, personable, professional and just a down right genuine good guy! Fantastic rating for Alan! Thanks again.

Roach motel!!!
It was awful there were giant cockroaches everywhere some of my family left and went to a hotel... we waited all day for a guy with a spray can to show up..what a joke! They were crawling on us in the shower everywhere. I complained to the management who just responded saying that since it happened on the weekend they weren’t able to get a real exterminator and has completely ignored my request for a partial refund and to reimburse my family member for their hotel!!!

Great Location
The location was great. With the excitement of an approaching hurricane, the property manager went above and beyond to check on us before and after the storm. Property needs an upgrade on dishes and utensils other than that would I recommend the property.

Memorial Day Stay at A Better Life at Kure Beach
I realize that due to Covid 19 restrictions, we were not sure that this weekend stay was going to work out. However, it did. The house was nice except the ice maker did not work on the refrigerator, the barbecue grill that we were informed would be a gas grill was instead a rusty, falling-apart charcoal grill that collapsed when we tried to cook our food on it. The layout for the bedrooms was not ideal for young children as one bunkbed room was on the first floor away from parents. Bryant Realty did not send us the pass code one or two days before our check-in time like they had said they would do via e-mail. We finally got hold of a polite young lady named Crystal who gave us the passkey code when we were nearing the destination. They were very hard to get in touch with and never answered our voicemail calls or even texted us after we checked in. The elevator was good for us and the walk to the beach was short. The view from the rooftop deck and the other decks was awesome. We enjoyed our stay and would do it again but hopefully not through Bryant Realty. I think we actually bought travel insurance twice because Bryant Realty said we had to buy it through them in order to be assured a refund in case we needed to rebook.
