Victory Beach Vacations

Visitors who are on the hunt for the postcard-perfect vacation rental in the heart of the Carolina Beach or Kure Beach area will find an enticing selection and plenty of friendly customer service when they rent through Victory Beach Vacations. Based in Carolina Beach in the coastal Cape Fear region, Victory Beach Vacations has more than 100 vacation rentals in all shapes and sizes to ensure that every vacationing family can find their dream home away from home on the beach.   When you book your Cape Fear getaway with Victory Beach Vacations, the fun doesn’t end when you leave the beach, it continues with an array of privately-owned properties outfitted with all of the amenities needed for a fabulous beach vacation.   Jenna Lanier, General Manager, explains that her family first opened the rental and property management business in 2002. At the forefront of Victory Beach operations is Lanier’s mother, Caroline Meeks. Meeks is both the Broker in Charge and co-owner with husband, Buck Meeks, who manages the Field Services team with Lanier’s husband, Scott.   For nearly 20 years, the Victory Beach team has worked tirelessly to establish a network of top-of-the-line rental properties for Cape Fear visitors to enjoy. “As far as our properties go,” explains Lanier, “they are all updated, well-furnished and appointed. “We have always performed post-cleaning inspections and since the pandemic, have put freshly laundered duvets over all of the comforters between rentals.”   Lanier emphasizes how important the guests experience is “we strive to give our guests a relaxing, stress free, memorable vacation.” This emphasis on customer service has led to Victory Beach Vacations having a 4.8 Google rating with over 300 reviews by happy owners and guests.In addition to Victory Beach’s superior sanitation practices, the company offers properties for every type of visitor.

The former, as described by Lanier, is the more commercialized of the two destinations and features a boardwalk, outdoor dining options and a plethora of weekly activities including fireworks, live music, amusement park pop-ups, and movies under the stars. Kure Beach offers a more residential feel with its fishing pier, intimate restaurants and family favorite, North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher.More water fun awaits, too. “There is a harbor and a canal that feed into the intercoastal. We have several properties on the harbor so guests can bring their boat, kayak, [or jet ski] and travel between islands,” says Lanier.   A stay with Victory Beach Vacations is an annual pilgrimage for most. “A large percentage of guests are previous guests. Some even reserve the same property for the next year as they’re checking out,” Lanier says. “It’s almost like it’s their personal vacation home.”   Even before guests arrive at their vacation destination, the Victory Beach Vacations’ website greets them with a live beach cam and exquisite aerial footage of both Carolina and Kure Beaches.

Oyster Bay Golf Links is a longstanding favorite course for avid Sunset Beach and Ocean Isle Beach vacationers, thanks to a picturesque locale along the Intracoastal Waterway, and a challenging 18 holes that can cater to veritably all skill levels. Voted the “Resort Course of the Year” in 1983 by Golf Digest, and ranked in the same publication as one of the top 50 courses in the country less than a decade later, this reputable course still attracts golfers from all along the coast who appreciate natural scenery, great weather, and a fine challenge along coastal North Carolina.

Panther's Run Golf Links is one of the five “Big Cats” collection of golf courses, (and one of four that’s found in the community of Ocean Ridge Plantation), and is stunning but challenging course that takes full advantage of the vistas and natural challenges that are found throughout coastal North Carolina. Located just a few miles away from both the South Carolina state border and the pristine Sunset Beach and Ocean Isle Beach shorelines, this 18-hole course is a wonderfully sunny example of premier southern NC golf.

Located in the sunny town of Sunset Beach, and just 20 minutes or so north from the Grand Strand, Sandpiper Bay Golf and Country Club is home to three classic 9-hole Carolina golf courses – the Sand Course, the Piper course, and the Bay course – which all offer a high quality golfing experience. Situated in a pristine section of the coastline, and named the “2010 Golf Course of the Year” by Myrtle Beach Area Golf Course Owners Association, Sandpiper Bay offers a nice combination of challenging greens and beautiful scenery.

The Maples Course is one of three distinctive golf courses that are found in the sprawling Sea Trail Plantation -  a resort community that offers vacation rental accommodations, year-round properties, conference accommodations, and of course, exceptional golfing. Located just inland of the coastal shoreline of Sunset Beach, the Maples Course has an undeniably scenic Coastal Carolina setting that perfectly complements the challenging field of play.

The Thistle Golf Club is an exclusive golfing destination that features 27 eye-catching and challenging holes. Featuring a traditional Scottish design, and built to mimic a club with early 1800s roots, Thistle Golf Club & Estates is an undeniably unique and scenic addition to the coastal Carolina golf scene.

The Tiger's Eye Golf Links is one of the five acclaimed “Big Cat” courses in the coastal Cape Fear region, and is an elite, daily fee course that’s carved into the heart of a virgin pine forest. Recognized by its dramatic elevation changes that are unique in the flat coastal area, this course is a great destination for golfers who love a challenge, with precision-shots and good short games required.
