About this property
Oceanfront Ground Floor Condo with Pool- Riggings D1
Ground floor, end unit directly on the ocean! You just don’t get closer than this. Watch the sunrise from your private balcony. Just steps away from the beach. 2 miles to Kure Beach pier, 2 miles to NC aquarium, 5 miles to Carolina Beach Boardwalk. This unit has one bedroom with a king bed and two twin bunk beds in the hallway. Full kitchen with microwave, dishwasher, Keurig machine (please bring k cups), toaster and all utensils, dishes and glasses. Unit has WiFi, Netflix and cable TV. TVs in living room and bedroom. Washer/dryer. Absolutely no need to bring anything. We are stocked like a hotel with all sheets and linens cleaned for you and ready before you arrive. We also are fully stocked with toilet paper, paper towels and laundry detergent.
This condo is located all the way at the end of the beach strand by Fort Fisher. What that means is the beach is never packed. At times, you will feel like you are on your own private beach. If you prefer crowds, go one mile South to Fort Fisher Beach area or two miles North by the pier. Surf fishing is superb directly in front of the condo because of a large rock formation off of Fort Fisher. Just to the North a couple hundred feet, you will find one of North Carolina’s very few coquina rock outcroppings. The kids will be entertained for hours playing on the rocks.
**We highly suggest you purchase travel insurance for stays during the months of June through October, however the most active months for hurricanes are September and October. Refunds will not be offered for poor weather unless the property is uninhabitable**
**We ask that you please bring your own beach gear due to the lack of storage in the unit and gear continually disappearing**
**Pool typically opens late April and closes mid September. Closure of pool relates to weather and can change.**
**In the Spring and Summer, the beach is typically very plentiful. In the Fall and Winter, we can get what are called “King Tides”. These are extremely high tides due to the moons position with the earth. They happen monthly for about 5-6 days. Combine that with strong NE winds and you will have very high tides which can cause lots of sand to be removed from the beach, exposing sandbags that are mostly covered in Summer. There is still room to walk the beach heading north from condo. The beach replenishes itself VERY fast afterwards, so conditions can change in a matter of days**
** We have a security camera at the front door and on the exterior perimeter of the balcony. No part of your balcony is in view of the camera. We use this camera to monitor potential threatening storms and sea levels. Audio is disabled.**
** This condo is located directly ON the beach. We have a very warm and humid climate. Being on the ground floor, insects such as palmetto bugs can enter through the tiniest cracks, especially the screen doors. If insects bother you,please leave the slider door and front door shut as much as possible. Although we perform regular pest control, we cannot guarantee it to be pest free. We cannot compensate for the presence of pests and insects.**
**Absolutely NO pets allowed per HOA rules and regulations.**
**We do not accept alteration requests inside the cancellation policy window.**
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Everything! Location! Comfort! Communication! Relaxation! I mean it doesn’t get much better than this place. We plan on staying here every year!James is amazing!!!!!!
The perfect place for rest and relaxation! The decor provides and atmosphere of calming. The location provides quiet. The furnishings are very comfortable. Enjoyed wonderful rest which was exactly what we needed.
Watching sunrises over the ocean from the comfort of the private deck is the best. I love the location and the condo was clean and well furnished. The walk to Fort Fisher monument and beyond was ideal.

Thank you Charlotte. Glad you had a wonderful stay!
The view is outstanding. I've lived and rented at the NC beaches for 60 years--this is the best view. Amenities were exactly as stated or even better--updated appliances and bathroom fixtures. very quiet. would highly recommend. right beside Fort Fisher which provides walking trails and entertainment. The host was very responsive to all questions. I'm planning another trip in the spring.

Thank you for the review. Glad you enjoyed your stay!
The property was very clean and well maintained. The suggestions in things to do and restaurants vert helpful and appreciated. Hurricane Erin was off the coast and while it didn’t affect the weather, the surges were. James was kind and reassuring to be sure we mountain dwellers were comfortable with the seas

Thank you Kelly. I am glad you had a wonderful stay.
This condo exceeded all of our expectations. It was clean, nicely updated, well-supplied and offered a front row view of the ocean from the deck. Beautiful walking areas in Ft Fisher are just steps away. Highly recommended!
Unit was in a good location. Clean. Renovated. Literally right on the water. Only caution for the beach area is there are a lot of rocks in the water from mid to low tide and no lifeguards. But still really enjoyed the unit and the area.
I don’t have anything negative to say about this property. Location was amazing, close enough to downtown Kure beach but far enough away that the beach was fairly empty and peaceful. Location is as advertised, we could basically touch the water at high tide (but could sit on the balcony without getting wet). Very comfortable king bed in the master. Did not sleep on the bunk beds so cannot speak to them though. Unit was very clean as well.
This is our second stay at this property. Very clean and well-stocked. Beautifully decorated and very communicative and helpful property owner.

About the host
Hosted by James Blydenburgh
Hello, I am James. After running a business in Raleigh NC for 20 years, I decided to sell my business and become a full time host. I rented out my second home at Kure Beach for many years and just loved providing vacation rentals for my wonderful guests. I have since expanded my business and own three condos in Kure Beach, one condo in Carolina Beach, one cottage at Badin Lake and one home in West Jefferson in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I strive to provide rentals that are above and beyond what people expect to have in a rental and wouldn't rent anything to our guests that I wouldn't enjoy staying in myself.
Why they chose this property
We are fully stocked with all the necessities, allowing you to just bring clothes and toiletries. This property sits at the end of the island, so the beach is very quiet. If you are looking for a relaxing beach, this is it! If you want to see a crowd, drive a couple miles up the road to Kure Beach public access and you will have it. We are right next to Fort Fisher, where you have lots of walking trails, sidewalks with amazing views of either the ocean or the Cape Fear River. Kure Beach pier is just a 3 minute drive or a long walk down the beach. Carolina Beach is about a 10 minute drive and there you can access the boardwalk with all the shops, restaurants, carnival and fireworks every Thursday night in the summer. What can be better?!
