The beach has a way of reminding you to slow down. The best homes know not to get in the way. Welcome to 601 A Fort Fisher Blvd. S, where architecture and the coastline exist in quiet harmony. Thoughtfully designed to embrace the ocean rather than compete with it, every space invites the outdoors in--from sun-filled living areas and expansive oceanfront decks to a private heated infinity-edge plunge pool designed to blend seamlessly into the shoreline. Inside, every detail feels intentional. The kitchen is anchored by a stunning quartzite waterfall island and a full JennAir appliance package featuring a 48-inch gas range. In the living area, a three-sided glass fireplace wrapped in Venetian plaster creates a striking focal point, while a dry bar with a beverage refrigerator makes entertaining feel effortless.

Part of the boutique Villas Del Mar collection, this newly constructed oceanfront townhome offers the freedom of no HOA -- only shared recorded CCRs and a maintenance agreement -- while allowing short-term rentals. PGT WinGuard impact-rated windows, a metal roof, turf front yards and thoughtfully selected materials create a home built for generations of coastal living. Just moments from the Kure Beach Pier, Fort Fisher, and local restaurants, 601A is more than a place to stay, it's a home designed to help you enjoy the beach the way it was meant to be.
