2ND floor, oceanfront condo with private balcony and steps to the beach.
Beautiful, Oceanfront Condo on the 2ND floor. This 1 bedroom condo has been recently remodeled with new appliances, 70" Smart TV, keurig and regular coffeemaker, ceramic plank floors and fresh paint. Your private balcony overlooks crashing waves, and steps to the beach.

Sleep to the tranquil crashing of the waves (better than any sound machine). You cannot get any closer to the ocean! The State fishing pier, Sea view pier, is 3 miles away, Splash by the Sea restaurant (3.5 miles), shopping and more restaurants within 10 minutes away. 30 minutes from Wilmington International Airport. NO PETS, PLEASE.

Beautiful View…

The condo was clean and well appointed but the kitchen cabinets have the vernier pealing and there is a constant smell of moisture. It was still a wonderful stay but beech access can be difficult because you’re not allowed to walk on the giant sand bags so you have to walk through a 3 foot deep tide pool.

We enjoyed our stay immensely. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful beach home. There was a few things that needed fixing and we took pictures of everything like the lease agreement specified, but other than that we had a great beach vacation. You absolutely cannot get any closer to the beach than what we were. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would like to rent it again. The Craigs
