Close to surfing, fishing, and more, this smoke-free vacation home brings it all within reach. There's convenient onsite parking, so you can leave your vehicle behind and let your feet make short work of the 9-minute walk to Kure Beach or the 11-minute walk to Fort Fisher State Recreation Area.

A living room, a BBQ grill, and air conditioning are featured at this 6-bedroom, 6-bathroom rental. Connect to the free WiFi, or get cozy in front of the TV; there's also a DVD player. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a dishwasher, as well as a microwave, cookware, and a blender. And because there's a dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
