The Neighborhood:
Adventure awaits on Pleasure Island. Exploring the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher, home to incredible coastal wildlife, or take the scenic car ferry across the Cape Fear River for a relaxing visit to the charming town of Southport where quaint streets are filled with unique antique shops and galleries. History lovers can walk the scenic, live‑oak‑lined trails of the Fort Fisher State Historic Site, where Civil War bunkers still stand. Nature enthusiasts will love the island’s two state‑managed coastal preserves: Carolina Beach State Park, home to rare Venus flytraps found naturally only in this region, and the Fort Fisher State Recreation Area, known for pristine beaches, marshes, and wildlife viewing. Both offer beautiful opportunities for hiking, paddling, fishing, and spotting pelicans or even nesting loggerhead sea turtles.
After a day outdoors, unwind on your private balcony with a sunset cocktail, or head into town to explore the best of Carolina Beach. The Carolina Beach Boardwalk, ranked one of the Top 10 Boardwalks in the U.S. by Food & Wine, features classic seaside fun—local restaurants, an arcade, ice cream shops, bars, and the famous Britt’s Donuts. In summer, enjoy weekly fireworks and live entertainment, carnival rides, family nights, and Flamingo BINGO. Off‑season brings signature island events like the Cape Fear Kite Festival, Christmas by the Sea, and the Island of Lights Festival. Pleasure Island offers something unforgettable for every traveler—adventure, relaxation, and the perfect coastal escape.
Getting Around:
Getting around Pleasure Island is a breeze! While parking can be limited in peak season, especially in popular spots, paid private or public parking is available. We recommend exploring Carolina Beach and Kure Beach on foot or by bike – they're super walkable and bike-friendly. You'll find safe pedestrian and bike routes, including the Island Greenway. Renting a golf cart or bike is easy, too, with several local rental companies. Golf carts are one of the easiest ways to cruise around the island. Rentals are simple to arrange, and once you're behind the wheel, you can zip along any road posted 35 mph or under.

Thank you for your 5 star review. We are glad you had the perfect location at our beautiful condo and look forward to welcoming you back for a future stay!
The property was extremely clean when we arrived. Access to the beach was super convenient, as was the pool/recreation center. The property manager checked in with us periodically throughout our stay to be sure that everything was satisfactory. We enjoyed the locally owned restaurants nearby, and had a great stay overall.
Location. Location. Location. Great place, nicely laid out and right on the water. Could not have asked for anything better !!

Thank you for the glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that you loved our location and enjoyed the beautiful waterfront setting. We strive to offer an exceptional experience, and it's wonderful to know that we hit the mark. We appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back soon!
We enjoyed the condo and living space tremendously.
We will rent it again. My only complaint was that the master bedroom did not have the correct fitted sheets and we felt they should supply us with paper towels and toilet paper for the week.

Thank you for your 4-star review! We appreciate any feedback our guests may provide regarding the property. We agree that this condo is in excellent proximity to the beach. We hope you enjoyed your stay, and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
I would stay at this unit again, you can't get any closer to the beach! We came at a time where the weather was cooler, so having the recreation center with the indoor pool was a great perk.

This was the perfect respite for us and our elder family members during a stressful time. We enjoyed the gorgeous beach views from both decks and had everything we needed for ultimate relaxation. We hope to be back soon!

Cute place, Great Location, Needs a Good Cleaning!
We were happy with the location and the unit was very well appointed and cute. However, it was filthy upon our arrival. The carpets had been vacuumed but, there was still lots of sand on the hardwoods. The kitchen was very dirty. Nothing had been wiped down. The fridge was dirty, cabinets were dirty with spills down the front. Bathroom tubs were grimy. Used q-tips were in the trash can in the first bedroom. One of the sliding glass doors was broken. Our coffee maker had sediment coming out. (They did replace it. After we went out and bought one). The communication with whomever we spoke to concerning the cleaning was lacking. They were to get in touch with the houskeeping manager but, we never heard a word back. We bought cleaning supplies and spent a good 4 hours cleaning everything ourselves. Not how I wanted to start off our family vacation, but, after that was done we felt pretty comfortable.
