Pleasure Island (Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, and Fort Fisher) has become a RAPIDLY increasing vacation (and full-time!) destination for the East coast and beyond for many reasons. It’s a family-oriented beach with a touch of everything one might be looking for! It’s an AMAZING place to visit, live, and never leave!
The home lies directly in the middle of both Carolina and Kure Beaches and is a long walk or short drive from downtown Carolina Beach and everything that is has to offer. In Carolina Beach you’ve got the boardwalk, restaurants, and local shops of all kinds. If you like adventures, the marina is also there where you can take an offshore fishing trip, diving excursion, or party boat out for a sunset sail. Camping more your thing? Bring the 4X4 and drive (and camp) on the beach at Freeman Park, located on the North End of the island.
You can also head down to Kure Beach and fish directly off their fishing pier compete with bait, tackles, and more! The Carolina Beach Lake is nearby, hosting a weekly Farmer’s Market every Saturday, and FIREWORKS every Thursday! We welcome you to sit back, relax and enjoy yourselves because that's exactly what the beach is for!
As you approach your mission: “Operation Sandcastle”, you’ll notice an abundance of outdoor covered space providing ample storage and parking for all your personal beach nick-knacks, bikes, trikes, and belongings resulting in the perfect space to fit your entire extended family with ease! As if crisp morning breezes, pelicans floating in tandem overhead, all while residing less than three blocks away from Wilmington Beach wasn’t enough, the owner’s left a Weber charcoal grill, and countless misc. beach toys and surprises for the “little one’s” throughout.
After ascending the steps up to your get-a-way, the entry to this 4 bedroom/3 bath townhome opens into a unique, welcoming, and amazing space!The large and newly renovated open floor plan comes into full view just as you hop up the steps. The floor is comprised of an expanse of entertainment areas, a modern Chef’s kitchen, breakfast bar, dining area, family room, and more! Modern stainless appliances and a kitchen chocked full of amenities give you the ability and access to dine both IN and OUT like royalty.
A few of the amenities provided by your Owners include courtesy large Aussie shampoo and conditioner are left in the bathroom of each bath as well. Also, a roll of TP in each bathroom, 1 roll of PT in the kitchen, 2 garbage bags per garbage, laundry pods, dishwasher pods, dryer sheets, hand soap, dish soap, a sponge, Cafe' Bustelo, Tazo Tea, and pure cane sugar in each kitchen. Additional items are likely on sight as well!
An eclectic mix of family room furniture is meant to provide something different for each of our guests Variety is EVERYTHING! Natural light just pervades from every angle. There’s a large screen smart TV, a private East facing private deck space providing both interior AND exterior dining options to suit the weather, mood, or ambience. Good conversation is a MUST!
The owner’s LOVE a good “game night!”. There is ABSOLUTELY NO shortage of board games, trivia, puzzles, and more to explore. Sometimes developing an allergy to technology when on Vacay is the BEST medicine! Continuing West though the kitchen, you happen upon Bedroom #1 with a Queen-size bed, dedicated workspace, with Full bathroom access to bathroom #1(shower & tub combo) just steps away.
As you make your way upstairs, you are immediately met with an expanse of breathtaking panoramic views through your East facing French doors leading out past a personal lounging area and onto your balcony. Your private oversized balcony comes complete with Sea Salt breezes at no added cost, access to a tranquility, and a respite that will simply melt your cares into the sun-kissed seascape before you. The master bedroom (Bedroom #2) is completed with a King size bed, ensuite bathroom (#2) with a vanity and standup shower stall.
Heading Westward down the hallway immediately on your left resides Bedroom #3, the “kids’ room” with a Twin + Full bunk bed, chest of drawers, and rocking chair. Directly across from the “kid’s room” sits the laundry station complete with everything one may need! A tad further West (also on your left) rests Bedroom #4 with a Queen-size bed, chest of drawers, and Full bathroom # 3 (shower & tub combo) steps away for optimal convenience.
It’s not IF you and your loved one’s deserve this, it’s how quick can you visit!

GOLF CARTS
•To the county, golf carts are considered automobiles. Generally speaking, golf carts are NOT allowed on premises of ANY condo, condotel, or apartment. The same goes for trailers, motorcycles, etc. For SFR’s or properties supporting multiple vehicles, carts should be OK. However, be conscious that few homes have external outlets WITHOUT GFCI’S (which are code by today’s standards). Charging a cart on a GFCI will immediately trip the breaker, resulting in the inability to charge a cart amongst other repercussions. Gas carts will generally be the ideal rental option if in a home whose parking supports such.
•ALL homes are non-smoking (including vaping) and a heavy cleaning/repair charge can result if not adhered to. This includes porches, decks, balconies, and walkways.
•There is a $100 non-refundable pet fee for one approved pup and a $50 pup fee for a second. There is a two-dog maximum unless an exception is granted. Cats are not allowed on premises.
•April 1st through September 30th, dogs are allowed on the Carolina Beach during restricted hours of BEFORE 9:00 am and AFTER 5:00 pm. On the extreme North End of Carolina Beach, dogs are allowed on leash 24/7 on leash. In Kure Beach, dogs are NOT allowed at any juncture. Fort Fisher allows dogs on leash on the beach 24/7. Please be responsible to follow all town pet ordinances and have an AWESOME time!
Pup rules for Pet Friendly homes
•Any interactions between your furry son or daughter and other neighbors (animal OR human) are completely at your discretion (and *liability). Please be a responsible pup owner and protect yourselves and others as may be necessary!
•Pups are NEVER allowed on any furniture. (*Single biggest added charge from the cleaners/owners post stay.)
•Be sure to use a broom or vacuum if your buddy sheds in excess.
•Do NOT let your pup bark excessively in any multi-unit environment.
•ALWAYS pick up after your pup IMMEDIATELY after the potty sesh.
•If maintenance needs to visit, ENSURE your pup is put in their respective kennels. This coincides with rule #1.
•If the home/apartment has an outdoor shower, please use it to rinse off your pup after a day of fun. Not only will that help to prevent a potential plumbing call (typically pup hair: that would fall to the guest to remedy $), but a clean pup is much less likely to result in a post stay hygiene charge (sand+salt+stinky can =$).
*As a furry Dad myself, I understand how hard it can be to find Pup Friendly accommodations! Please help us to keep our owners happy and protect the rental from damage and unnecessary wear & tear so we can always be here to support our guests with sandy paws and salty noses!
•Please always consider TRAVEL INSURANCE from your respective booking site or vendor to help protect your costs in case of inclement weather or last-minute travel complications (court, illness, etc.). These items are NOT refundable scenarios unless the property itself is compromised. If that does happen, we will do our absolute best to find you alternative housing.
