About this property

“Destiny”! Oceanfront Condo w/pool. The Riggings E-2

**This property has just been completely refreshed in March, 2025. All new paint and all new furniture including a king size bed!**

Second floor end unit condo overlooking the pool and ocean! Just steps away from the beach! There is also an oceanfront pool where you can spend the day soaking in the suns rays. Surf fishing is superb directly in front of the condo due to a large rock formation next to Fort Fisher.

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 size 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. With Spectrum business WiF and cable TV. TVs in living room and bedroom. Washer/dryer. We are stocked like a hotel with all linens and towels cleaned for you and ready before you arrive. We also are fully stocked with toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap, dish soap 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 excellent 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.

“Destiny” is owned by Keith Brown, a builder in the Raleigh, NC area and managed by James Blydenburgh, from Carolina Beach and a host for 10 years. James owns several other properties, with 3 of them being at The Riggings. So if you need more than one unit, just ask!

**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**

**Absolutely NO pets allowed per HOA rules and regulations.**

**We have a Ring doorbell camera on the exterior of the front door and it is actively recording during your stay**

**In order of our cancellation policy, we will no longer accept alteration requests within 30 days of your reservation.**

It’s a beautiful place and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It’s pristine and clean with a fabulous ocean view. My only complaint is the mattress is beyond firm. It was like sleeping on a hardwood floor. A memory foam topper would be a big help.

Response from VrboOwner on 20 April 2026
Sorry you did not like the mattress. It is labeled as medium and definitely not firm to try and be comfortable to most people. Mattresses are one of those things that you can never please every single person with as everyone has their own preferences.

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 at Kure Beach, one in Carolina Beach, one cottage at Badin Lake and one home in West Jefferson in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I manage this property for Keith Brown, a home builder in the Raleigh, NC area. 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

This condo complex is towards the end of the island by Fort Fisher. It is the past private residence on the south end of the island. You can walk diagonally across the street to the beautiful Fort Fisher Museum and grounds. It a 2 minute drive to the Fort Fisher Aquarium, Fort Fisher Beach and the Fort Fisher/Southport Ferry

What makes this property unique

Guests love staying at this location due to the proximity of the ocean. The Ocean is 50' from your balcony, with an oceanfront pool and two beach accesses seconds away from your door.
