We had a wonderful five night stay. My favorite part of the week was sitting on the deck watching the waves and drinking coffee. The condo is in a great location, a short walk around the building and the walkway to the beach is there directly in front of the deck. We had everything we needed in the condo to make our stay enjoyable. The pools were all close to the condo and it was a short drive to the aquarium and Fort Fisher. I’d definitely recommend to others.

David of A1 Property Management has a beautiful condo right at the beach! We loved staying here, plenty of space for the two of us and within 5 minutes of the aquarium at Fort Fisher. Fort Fisher itself is undergoing a remodel so we couldn't visit this year. I highly recommend this place.Thank you A1 for a wonderful vacation!

Slice of Heaven

We found this treasure and began staying here every May and September after my husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer a few years ago. Our final stay with him was last September, so it was a little bitter sweet coming back this May, but we walked in the door and it felt like home. We hope to continue the tradition of May and September ongoing. This is such a beautiful and peaceful place to get away from it all. Thank you for making it such a special place!!
