Along the Shore by Carolina Retreats

Close to surfing, fishing, and more, this beach vacation home brings it all within reach. Fort Fisher State Recreation Area is just steps away and Kure Beach is within an easy 7-minute walk, so leave your car at the property, which offers onsite parking.

A living room, a BBQ grill, and air conditioning are featured at this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom rental. Try your hand at table tennis, or enjoy the free WiFi, TV, and DVD player. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a dishwasher, as well as a microwave and cookware. And because there's a dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
