About this apartment rental

Sunday to Sunday, 7 day rentals only, during the prime season of June, July, and August. Unit must book a 7 night stay, but off season the check in and check out date can vary. Please inquire!

This Tar Landing condo is the perfect family vacation home! Families and friends will enjoy the breath-taking ocean views. Come sit on Papa Jim's front porch and have an ice-cold glass of sweet tea, or relax and enjoy the sunset with a glass of wine. The spacious & comfortable condo is outfitted with everything you will need while on vacation. Plus the community pool and clubhouse are always a hit! There is also a small shallow pool for very young children, and plenty of nice lounge chairs and seating to catch some rays and relax. There is a swing set area for the little ones to get rid of some of their energy. And the best part about this unit is the private community beach walkway is directly across from the unit! Just a 2 minute walk to the beach from your front door. Can't beat that! The walkway features an area to rinse off all the sand from the beach, including a foot spray and shower.

As you enter into this gorgeous condo, on the left side you will see a bedroom with two twin day beds. A full bath connects with the next bedroom-which has three twin beds and a full bed. This area would be perfect for the children to gather in. There is a Smart TV in this room for the kids to enjoy. The washer and dryer are on this floor in a hallway closet, and across from the laundry is a closet with an extra fridge to keep cold drinks and extra food supplies.

Head upstairs to the second floor where you will find the beautiful kitchen with stylish granite counter-tops. The kitchen opens up directly to the living room and dining area, and from there head outside on the deck to see the spectacular view of the ocean. There is a Smart TV in the main living room for family viewing. Just past the kitchen are a bar area and a full bath that leads into another bedroom. This bedroom has a queen bed and a set of bunk beds. Notice the private door that leads outside...

The top floor has two bedrooms, both with king-size beds. Each bedroom has it's own large bathroom with double vanities and a garden tub/shower combo.. *Bonus* there is an extra stand up shower that joins both bathrooms together! Plenty of places for everyone to get cleaned up after the beach :) Both of these rooms have Smart TVs to enjoy a little relaxing time.

This amazing home is extremely close to Fort Macon’s State park. No boats, jet skis, trailers, campers, or motorcycles are allowed at Tar Landing. All TVs are Smart TVs, so log into your own apps or bring your Roku or Firestick. Each TV also has regular cable to enjoy from the Spectrum TV app.

We had a wonderful stay at Papa Jim's. There was plenty of room for everyone! Really loved have the extra fridge on the first floor. The view of the ocean was really nice and relaxing. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed. The area was very quiet and peaceful. Would love to stay here again! :)

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental was wonderful as usual. The only suggestion or thing I would say is the pillows on the beds really need to be replaced. They are old and flat. The sheets this year were also difficult bc they are obviously not deep pocket so never stayed on the mattress. Otherwise the unit is just what we needed!

Beautiful view, kept up well with the exception of the oven not working the last three days of our stay and the stovetop not working the last two days of our stay. Tar Landing is very nice and we love that property, I was disappointed we had to throw out a lot of food upon leaving and we were on a one week vacation so making time for repair people to come i and fix the stove and oven was not something we wanted to wait around for, I feel that we should have been given some money back due to that issue alone, but it was not offered.
