About this apartment rental
Wake up every morning to watch the sun rising over the ocean, dolphins playing in the waves right in front of you, waves crashing on the sand just feet from your deck and enjoying a cup of coffee in the your comfortable deck chairs. Enjoy the view of Fort Fisher State Recreation area and the amazing twisted live oak trees along the beach trail that starts right next to the condo. Take a walk down to the Fort Fisher Aquarium or the Fort Fisher Battlefield & Museum on the sound side of the island just across the street. For more adventure, rent a kayak to explore Zeke's Island Reserve just a mile or two down the road, or take the ferry to Southport for the day. If you are feeling lazy, enjoy your day at the beach right on the other side of your deck or lounge at the pool, but make sure you take time to explore the coquina rock outcrop at low tide and you might find some beautiful shells and fun sea life in the tide pools. These rocks are literally right on the beach outside The Riggings property. Don't forget all the great restaurants, shops, piers and boardwalk fun just down the Road in the heart of Kure Beach and Carolina Beach.

This smart thermostat is equipped with Amazon Alexa and you can literally just ask "Alexa, lower the temperature to 70" or ask her for restaurants or places to see nearby. If you would like to enjoy some music while you are cooking or hanging out, simply ask Alexa to play some tunes for you.

Super cute condo, right on the ocean . Can't wait to go back , we have already recommended it to friends and family

We loved staying here! The house itself is nicely decorated, updated kitchen and appliances. Perfect size for our family of two kids and a baby! Absolutely loved the location of this unit in particular, easy beach access and loved sitting on the porch watching the sunrise. Will never be this close to oceanfront again! Note that during high tide the beach directly in frontof the unit is not useable, but wider beach is very very short walk. The pool was also great too. This was stocked with everything we needed and it was so convenient having the chairs, boogie boards, and even sand toys there for our use. It was very quiet, couldn't hear neighbors. We barely left the unit and loved every second. Wish we could keep it our own little secret but it's too good not to share! Thank you for letting us stay and make memories.

The location of this condo can't be beat. It was so much fun. Our kids loved it and so did we! Dolphins, sea turtles and shark teeth - what more could you ask for?!

We had an incredible stay at this beachfront Vrbo! The views are absolutely stunning and the location couldn't be more perfect. The property was impeccably clean and well-maintained.
The beach gear provided made our stay even more enjoyable—we had everything we needed for fun and relaxation. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep after a day in the sun.
Overall, this property exceeded our expectations in every way. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a perfect beach getaway!

We beyond loved our stay here. It’s the perfect location & days you don’t want to take your stuff & set up on the beach, you still feel like you are there just being on the balcony. Extremely well decorated, you can tell they take pride in their condo. Best stocked condo with everything you could possibly need. Best condo we’ve ever stayed in & will definitely be back next year.

So just wow.... I have never stayed at a property that was so very well stocked with anything you could possibly need. The owners have made sure you should not need for anything.
The property itself is unlike anything I have ever seen. A few times at high tide, I got splashed while sitting on the balcony. Walk out the door and take 10 steps and you are on the beach. It was just amazing.
We had a few aggravations that we had were nothing the owners could do anything about. We had work happening above our bedroom that started at 730 each morning. And given the location, there wasnt much privacy on the balcony. Bit what an amazing week that was had by our family. Just amazing. Thank you so much for sharing thos beautiful home with us! We hope to be back

This unit was very welcoming the minute you walk in! Very home like feel to it. Clean, plenty of things provided in the unit and right on the beach. The area is great for families, right next to the state park with plenty to do and great area for fishing. We will definitely be coming back. The property owner was great about replying to any questions we had!

We absolutely love this perfect beach home. We were here for hurricane Ian last year and tropical storm Ophelia this year. We felt safe and comfortable for both. This home has everything you could need. We cooked all meals at home and even baked cookies during the storm. This is where we will be spending our anniversary every year.

Highly recommend this place. Absolutely beautiful and excellent beach access.

This is the best rental we have ever had! It is spotless, has luxury amenities, the most perfect beach decor, and the location is on the beach. I was able to nurse a leg injury while sitting on the deck to watch the waves. Colleen is a responsive hostess who has thought of every detail. We even weathered the storm in comfort! We have found our new favorite spot!!
5.0
We had a great time!! There was so much to do and the kids loved that we were right on beach. The pool was clean and no one was in it half the time. Everything in room was clean and comfy. I loved the ocean vibe decor.We will definitely be booking agian. The only complaint was that are cleaing lady came an hour early and told us we were supposed to be out at 10 and our checkout wasnt till 11am. I showed her my booking and everything was okay. Thank you for having us was such a wonderful stay!

The property was very nice. It had everything you could ever need and more. The owner definitely thought of everything. The ocean is so close that at one point during high tide and a pretty nasty storm the waves were splashing us on the balcony. If you are looking for something on the beach this is your place.

Thoroughly enjoyed the property! So close to the beach that you could get splashed during high tide if you were on the deck! Kids absolutely loved the pool and the beach and enjoyed looking for crabs in the rock outcrops in the ocean. We will definitely be back!

Location is great for relaxing and enjoying the ocean. The condo is nicer than others that we’ve been to. This was our third year in the house and we have enjoyed each visit. I would recommend replacing or repairing tv area furniture as seat cushions and armrests are showing signs of wear and sitting comfortably is challenging.
Owners are fantastic to work with.
5.0
Communication with the owner was very easy. She explained all the procedures well before we arrived.
The home was very clean and well stocked with a lot of things not normally provided for guests. Tea, coffee, cooking supplies, and medicines to name a few. It was very thoughtful and much appreciated. We fell in LOVE with the tea pot and actually ordered one as a birthday gift (mom loves her’s now too!). The owner takes great care to make sure your stay is pleasant.
We were amazed to see how “on the beach” the home actually is. Any closer and you would be on a boat! Morning coffee on the porch is nice and peaceful.
We had a small concern with a sticky lock while visiting. Colleen was extremely responsive to messages and took care of it quickly.
The area is nice. We enjoyed walking around Fort Fisher every evening. The weather was unseasonably cool which made the walks even nicer.
We tried Squiggly’s ice cream and Britt’s doughnuts. On my goodness both were sooo good! Highly recommend!
We appreciate the hospitality and enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you to the owners for letting us rent their cozy and clean home!

The condo was situated in an ideal area for our family vacation. It felt wonderfully secluded, with the natural area adjacent, but was so close to fun excursions and activities. We truly appreciated having a clean, comfortable “home base” with everything we needed provided!

This unit was literally just a few steps from the ocean! Very well stocked with everything you need! One of the cleanest units we’ve ever stayed in and communication with the owner was easy and they were very pleasant to deal with! Also the pool was very clean! It was our first time to Kure Beach and we loved it!
5.0
My husband and I have been visiting Kure Beach, sometimes on our own, sometimes with kids and grandkids, for many years. This was easily the best-stocked condo we've stayed in - from quality cookware (even good kitchen knives!) to a great supply of clean towels, and some spices and kitchen basics like sugar, flour and lots of condiments on hand. The location was perfect for us - at the far eastern end of Pleasure Island this unit is in the last building, only 1/4 mile from the aquarium. We will book this one again!
5.0
This was by far the best property we have stayed in! Everything was provided and the kitchen and pantry were over the top! Awesome place to relax and we have never stayed anywhere as close to the water - except on a boat! Every thing was very comfortable and the owner was very easy to communicate with. Hopefully we will be staying her again soon!

We have stayed at this property at least once a year for several years. The owners are fabulous to work with and the condo is always well supplied and clean. We love that we can sit on the deck looking south and not see another building.

I'm not sure my review will do this property justice, but here goes... this wasn't our first time staying at The Riggings, which we love, but it was our first time at this specific condo. We absolutely loved it. It's small and updated, which is all you need because you're on the beach most days anyway. I don't believe there is a property available for miles that puts you closer to the water than this one. And the path to the beach, all 5 steps of it, is directly out the front door. This condo is the perfect location. The "walk" to the beach is literally measured in seconds. The access to the trail to walk up Fort Fisher is right outside the door. Parking is directly in front of the door. The surplus of towels and blankets available is shocking. The soap, shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel dispensers in the shower were a treat... dishes, appliances, coffee, spices.. ect available is insanely convenient. Disney plus and other streaming apps are available for the kids... Just bring your bathing suit and some spare clothes and you're good to go. The only downside was that we couldnt stay longer... but theres always next time. We can't wait to return and will be counting the days.

Fantastic!!!! More than you could ever ask for. This owner goes above and beyond to make the stay comfortable. Everything is so well stocked. Even though we were stuck inside a couple of days for hurricane Ian, we felt safe and had a great time

My husband and I always go away the week of my birthday (the week after Labor Day). We selected this property because it was beachfront. You couldn't get any closer to the beach. The first floor condo overlooks the ocean, and the views and sounds are great. The condo was the best stocked VRBO we have ever stayed in. Every detail was thought of. Detergent and fabric softener, creamers, a wide selection of tea bags, spices, top of the line knives, pots and pans. Extra pillows, blankets. We brought our own beach items (umbrellas, chairs) we didn't need them at all. First, the condo had them (including toys for the kiddos). But with the proximity to the ocean, you didn't need to set up a beach umbrella. The condo is located at the quiet end of the beach, and it felt like we had our own private beach. It was an amazing getaway.

My family of 4 visited. Nice place. Clean and very tastefully decorated. Nice little private beach. The ocean was RIGHT THERE! The kids really liked the bunk beds. The king bed was comfy and I slept very well. I enjoyed Kure Beach. It was our first time there. Definitely recommend this place to stay ❤️

Paradise Island
We have rented this location for the past three years and have enjoyed each visit. Property owners are fantastic to work with and have put a lot of effort into the condo to make ones stay enjoyable. Location is fantastic for photo opportunities and not overly crowded. We plan to return as soon as possible for some R & R

Everything you need
This condo is perfect for families or couples. We had 5 people (2 adults and 3 kids aged 5, 12, 15)
Our daughters loved the bunk bed hideaway. The owners have thought of everything. There is an abundance of towels which was so nice, coffee machine and coffee, a fun margarita machine, games and plenty of seating. The master bedroom had privacy and a very comfortable bed. We enjoyed the smart TVs in the living room and bedroom. We could watch Hulu in the bedroom and it was already set up with a beach house account. So many nice little touches! We have been coming to Kure beach for 10 years and stayed in many different condos. This is by far the most comfortable, well stocked condo. We were so sad to leave this time. It was just perfect.

A week at the Beach
My Boyfriend and I stayed the week before Memorial Day. The condo was clean, well decorated and had everything we needed, besides the ice maker didn’t make much ice. We just bought a bag every few days. The kitchen is small and had sharp drawer pulls that stuck out, had to be careful when we were both in the kitchen. They were adding sand on top of the sandbags most of the week, kinda annoying if you wanted to set out on the deck. We enjoyed the included k-cup coffee. The condo is nice, but you can hear people walking above you, sometimes Very loud and early in the morning. We had a good time, but there is a few things to consider if you’re not familiar with the area. For one, you can’t walk to anything. We visited the pier which we had to drive too, not much parking available. The pier was pretty crowded everyday and cost 8 dollars to fish. We went to the aquarium, it’s cute, but small. We drove up to Carolina Beach, you have to pay to park, there is no free parking. Didn’t see a whole lot there. They do have amusement rides if you have children. It seemed to be closed when we went. There are nice restaurants in the area and we enjoyed a few. We drove over to Wilmington, they are doing a lot of construction on the river walk, didn’t see much parking, and again you have to pay to park. The Battleship was under construction too. The highlight of our trip was taking the Ferry to Southport, a car is needed, it’s to far to walk into town. It was a beautiful little town, with shops and restaurants and free parking, you can walk to get about everything once you get there. They also had a free fishing pier.

Beautiful
Everything was just perfect! Very nicely decorated condo literally right on the beach, you cannot get any closer to the water than this condo. Colleen and Alex go above and beyond with the staples of things you can possibly need for your stay. Beach Towels, beach chairs, toys, games, paper plates for those that don't wanna do dishes that are also provided, paper towels......everything you need to plan your meals is there. Bed was ultra comfy, living room furniture perfect for snuggling up after a day on the beach, deck beautiful for watching the sunrise and sunset.
We stayed for 15 days. I did not wanna leave! I cannot express enough how perfect it all was.
Shopping, restaurants, site seeing all within short miles of the condo but yet your in the quite end of town out of the hustle and bustle of things.
