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.**

Nice condo in Kure Beach

This condo is at the end of the beach and close to the walking/bike trail leading to Ft Fisher and the aquarium. (Note - you have to get on the road at points to do this.) It is peaceful and the condo is bright and cute, with a comfy king bed and bunks for the kids. The owner is easy to deal with and quick to respond and the place was very clean upon arrival. The beach in front of the condo is narrow but a very quick walk takes you a few steps down to a wider place to sit and put up an umbrella. There are lots of shells for the kids to find and the ocean is beautiful here. This was a perfect off-season rental and I'm sure it would be great in the summer, as well.

Ocean front view… wow!

We had a wonderful stay! Despite the turn in the weather. You just can’t beat the view and the sound of the ocean just outside your doors! It was a very comfortable and relaxing experience. First time we visited Kure Beach, NC. The visitor center just up the road was a great experience! Informative and a beautiful historical location.

Waves for Days

My husband and I absolutely love staying at the The Riggings whenever we can. This was our first time in this specific unit and it was absolutely amazing. The water is so close and the shelling is so good. My husband actually found a fossilized great white tooth 10 minutes into day one. If you’re after Calico’s this is the place to be they practically wash up to your feet. Will stay again asap.

Another great stay at The Riggings

We've stayed at The Riggings for nine of our eleven visits to Kure/Carolina Beach, and this unit was, by far, my favorite! It was nicely furnished and the extras, like detergents, soaps, paper goods, etc. were an added plus. It truly made traveling and being away from home an easy escape for the week. I ran into an issue with a blown fuse, as predicted by James, but he was quickly available to assist, and we were able to work through it in just a few minutes. The only complaint one may have is the "big" water bugs. I know units at the beach are treated for bugs regularly and bugs are a common occurrance, but it's still creepy to turn on a light and see something scurry across the floor or counter. My son wasn't happy with that, but I was able to squish them on the floor or grab them in a paper towel and dispose of them. Next time, I'll charge them rent! It was a wonderful week at our favorite place. I'm hoping the unit is available again next year. **Suggestion: Maybe supply a deck of cards, a couple of board games, or a puzzle for guests to use on rainy days. Just a thought.**

On the Water

The views from unit D-1 at The Riggings were unsurpassed. At high tide there isn't much, if any beach in front of the unit but the views are AMAZING! There is beach at both ends of the property and, as the owner states, it is not crowded -- even on 45h of July week. Would have preferred to receive check in information a day earlier so I'd have plenty of time to print and pack but otherwise, everything was PERFECT. Not a word I often use. The condo was spotless, plenty of paper products, hand soap, dish soap, well stocked kitchen with pots and pans, knives, etc. I brought a few items but didn't need to unpack them. It was a great trip and we loved our condo on the water. A+++

Riggings D-1

This place was perfect for the two of us. First floor right on the beach was awesome. The place was very clean and had everything you would need. James provided us via email a list of local restaurants and even let us know about a space x launch that was happening one night that we were able to see. We will definitely come back to this property!

Excellent Stay!

This stay was perfect from start to finish. If you are looking to stay in this area and this condo is available, book it. The highlight for us was the combination of having the shade on the outside deck overlooking the water with the option of a few steps away of sitting on the beach in the sun. James is a great host and everything that is described in his posting is exactly what you’ll find. Will definitely try to get back here again next year. Again, a great stay. Don’t miss out on visiting this gem on Kure beach.

Perfect in Every Way

The condo was exactly as shown and described. Very clean, beautifully decorated and appointed-all we had to bring was our toiletries and food. I am very picky about mattresses and the bed was very comfortabke. Loved being able to step out on the balcony and watch the waves and sea life. Steps to the beach. Will definitely be coming back, just sorry I couldn't stay longer thus time. James was very responsive and helpful with clear, concise information.

Delightful Stay

We had a lovely stay at James' condo at The Riggings. We've stayed at multiple units in this complex, and we adore it. This unit was well appointed (great bed!), very clean, and had everything we needed for our stay. We were greeted by dolphins in the water our first two days, and loved watching the waves from the balcony. We love Kure Beach and all this unit has to offer.

A wave of relaxation!

Our favorite part about this condo is how close it is to the ocean. We never feel the need to leave the condo/balcony to go to the beach because it's right there! Complete relaxation! The condo is always clean (we've stayed 3 different times) and the owner is always helpful and easy to work with. We also enjoy popping over to the aquarium, which is very close, and walking the pathways by Ft Fisher. This has become our home away from home.

This condo was not only right on the beach but also very clean. I had a very serene visit waiting the waves, tides and pelicans. You can’t get any closer to the ocean!! The condo was very well suited for someone with physical limitations. James was very helpful. He even clued me in on where to find Kure Beach souvenirs! I’m looking forward to returning to this property!

About the host

Hosted by James Blydenburgh

Host profile image
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?!
