2. Two-bedroom condo with a large balcony (from USD 200)

Just like the rentals above, the beach and ocean are all you see from both the inside of this condo and on the balcony. This soothing view is bound to entrance you, constantly getting your attention. There are large glass doors, one in the living room and the other in the master bedroom, both opening onto the balcony, both beautifully framing the ocean view. In fact, you can see the ocean right from the kitchen and dining area.

The icing on this enormous cake are the indoor and outdoor pools, which are accessible to guests. But that’s not all: there’s also a steam room, a hot tub, and a fitness center - all, no doubt, conspiring to keep you occupied throughout the day.

3. Spectacular beachfront condo (from USD 207)

4. Luxurious two-bedroom rental (from USD 175)

It might seem a little monotonous mentioning the ocean view, but that’s what you get when you come to the Emerald Isle Resort. The beach is the area’s crowning jewel and it would be a shame if you didn’t get to enjoy it to the fullest. So, spend time by the ocean or simply relax on your own balcony and drink in the view from this 18th-floor condo.

You can take advantage of the resort’s hot tub, sauna, and steam room, all designed to put you at ease. If some indoor time is what you want, enjoy your favorite movies on the television or simply catch up with loved ones back home via the wireless internet connectivity.

5. Fancy 14th-floor condo (from USD 184)

Yes, this one sits on the 14th floor and, it goes without saying, that the ocean view is breathtaking. There are two bedrooms in the apartment and a total of six guests can stay here, with a sofa-bed offering extra sleeping space for two. The rental’s main appeal is its expansive balcony which is, honestly, the place you should spend most of your time when you’re indoors. When you do leave the condo, you can explore Pier Park or just chill out on the beach.
