Make your plans today to enjoy this comfortable and spacious duplex with your family and your dogs. You will be just a stone’s throw away from Freeman Park, so bring your 4x4 and enjoy driving on the beach where you can truly get away from the crowds. The North End is nearby, and the family friendly nature of Pleasure Island offers endless activities for all ages. The North Carolina Aquarium and the Fort Fisher historical site are great day time activities for everyone to enjoy.

    Place was easy to find and get into. The cleanliness of the place was not great, good but not great. We had encounters with both roaches and spiders. Also the host provides the bare minimum of amenities. I highly suggest bringing everything from TP to your own fire stick and everything in between. Not the worst I’ve stayed in but not the best either. We also found someone weeks worth of prescriptions under one of the beds. Not very safe with children around.

    This house is great! Quick walk to the beach and extra beach stuff if you need it. Outdoor shower is nice to rinse off sand. Kitchen is well stocked. Rooms are large with Roku TVs. My family had a great week at Riptide.

    My husband and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary with our children and grandchildren at the riptide. The place was beautiful, clean, had every amenity you can think of, was close to the beach, stores and activities for the kids. The perfect place for a family gathering!

    Loved the open living area and kitchen. It was great all the adults had their own bathroom. My 16 month old just started walking and enjoyed exploring the house. Short walk to the beach and pier made it a relaxing stay. Would definitely rent again.

    Short weekend stay and loved the place. We would definitely stay longer. It is very spacious for a one-story beach condo. The listing is exactly as depicted and has everything you need. Great for a bigger family and kids.

    We were at the property for a special occasion. The property was beautiful, with a great floor plan. The quick and easy access to the beach was perfect.

    Property was great and had everything you want in a rental property that's located near the beach. It had the beach amenities (chairs, tents, toys, boogie boards) which made the visit even better. Would definitely come back.

    The house is beautiful and comfortable with only a short walk to the beach. We were able to go out and walk on the beach every morning before breakfast, even with our doggie. The kitchen was well-equipped for cooking family meals and it was easy to order in food or drive to town when we did not cook. The drive to the Boardwalk was only about five minutes, but there was lots of parking. The property manager responded quickly when we had an issue. We enjoyed lots of family time in the large living space and there were enough rooms, all on the same level, for the adults including our grown children and the grandparents. My only suggestions would be to clean bathrooms a little more and include elevator access for older adults. We will probably rent this one again!!
