Sandy Oceanfront 2nd FL 1BR w/pool at The Riggings

B2 is a musty-smelling condo. As soon as we entered, the odor was noticeable and permeated every piece of furniture inside. I did not notify the property manager because this problem can only be resolved by using a dehumidifier 24/7. The ice maker on the refrigerator also didn't work, but that was not a problem for us. The king bed was very comfortable but every time I woke up, I got a whiff of the musty odor. This odor was present before Hurricane Erin skirted the coastline in front of Riggings.

Our stay here was great! The property manager was extremely responsive and helpful when needed. The location is absolutely perfect and right on the water. The space was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Will be back!

The apartment is so tastefully decorated and comfortable. We enjoyed the pool and easy parking. The rock formations and tide pools with sea creatures were fascinating but inhibited our love of ocean swimming.

This location was a great location away from the busyness of the restaurants and bars yet close enough to go for walks along the beach. Very picturesque. Scenic walk to Fort Fisher and the state park beach too!

My husband and I have stayed at several very nice rentals in this area and this particular one is below the standards that anyone should have to accept. First, there is extreme beach erosion. There are very large sandbags in use and have been in use since 1985. The owner is stating that these sandbags were placed for the tropical storm but they were not. Google “The Riggins Sandbags” and you will see that this complex has had extreme erosion since it was built. If you plan on using the beach, you will only be able to use it for 2 hours a day at low tide. The rest of the time there is no beach as the waves rush up to the sand bags. Second, the unit needs a deep cleaning. Upon entering, there is a stong musty/mold smell. There are 2 dehumidifiers in the unit. The furniture covers have dirty spots/stains, there are water stains on the floor near the kitchen and soft spots in the floor. The dishwasher/stove have rust on them. Lastly, there are bugs in the unit. Both cockroaches and water bugs. We left the unit after seeing several bugs in the unit. I attempted to work towards a solution with the owner but she stated she would not discuss reimbursement. I am currently working with VRBO towards a solution. I read all of the reviews and there was one bad review for this unit. I thought it was a disgruntled renter, now I know her review was accurate. In this listing, there are not any sandbags in any photos despite the owner stating there is. Rent elsewhere!

Overall a wonderful time

Needed some rest. The room was nice with a beautiful view. Good local food ( Freddys was my favorite) Pier Fishing was fun and relaxing something I haven’t had a moment to do . 5 stat all around .

Wonderful location, great view and overall very pleased with everything from start to end of vacation!!

Our stay was great. We loved the location, right on the beach. The condo had everything we needed. Nice pool area. Great vacation place!

The condo was wonderful! Our upstairs neighbors ended up being really loud most of the stay, sounded like they were coming through the ceiling. The view and location was simply amazing! Usually after a week stay at the beach I’m ready to go home, this time, I wasn’t. I appreciated how clean the place was.
