We had a wonderful five night stay. My favorite part of the week was sitting on the deck watching the waves and drinking coffee. The condo is in a great location, a short walk around the building and the walkway to the beach is there directly in front of the deck. We had everything we needed in the condo to make our stay enjoyable. The pools were all close to the condo and it was a short drive to the aquarium and Fort Fisher. I’d definitely recommend to others.

Beautiful Ocean Dunes property

David of A1 Property Management has a beautiful condo right at the beach! We loved staying here, plenty of space for the two of us and within 5 minutes of the aquarium at Fort Fisher. Fort Fisher itself is undergoing a remodel so we couldn't visit this year. I highly recommend this place.Thank you A1 for a wonderful vacation!
