Dreamers den was super clean. We needed nothing. The place is so well cared for, and the kitchen well stocked that we felt like we were renting someone’s personal home.
We had a wonderful week at Dreamers Den. The property was as described with everything you will need for your stay. Our dog loved the easy walk to the beach via the private walkway. Lanette was an excellent host and was available if we needed anything.We will return very soon!
Very nice quiet beach with few people this time of year. The house was perfect for us, a retired couple with a small dog. The host was very accommodating and a good communicator. We loved sitting out on the deck to enjoy the waves. The back stairs had an easy-to-use dog gate.
Home is better than the pictures! Host is awesome, has stocked house with just about everything you would need. Quiet area, private walkway to beach. Beautiful courtyard.
Our visit to this property was a perfect get away. Dreamer’s Den is exceptional and LaNette is the perfect hostess. The property was just right for four adults and four legged friends. Well stocked with all the essentials. The bedrooms and bathrooms are roomy and nicely decorated. The deck is great for relaxing, ocean views, sunrises, naps, and puppies. We plan to return and highly recommend Dreamer’s Den.
The Host/Owner did an incredible job of providing everything we needed for our week at the beach. There were extra paper products, clean linens, towels, bath cloths, and many cooking condiments. The place was impeccably clean, and the location was ideal. The host recommended an excellent fresh seafood restaurant. We had an outstanding experience.
Dreamer's Den is the perfect description for this property. This was our first visit to the North Carolina coast & this property was perfect - it has it ALL. The home is inviting, comfortable, quiet, EXCEPTIONALLY clean & is steps away from beautiful Kure Beach. This area is rich with Civil War history with Fort Fisher about a mile down the road. In addition, there is a beautiful indoor aquarium nearby.Kure Beach/Carolina Beach are true gems and that includes the property host, LaNette. LaNette is a wonderful, friendly, amazing (and talented) host. She keeps the property well stocked with everything & has a gift for attention to detail. During our stay, she offered recommendations on places to visit & restaurants to try.This place is truly a peaceful, relaxing & beautiful sanctuary. We highly recommend.Thank you LaNette for the visit & sharing your beautiful home with us. We can't wait to see the outdoor kitchen table you were building. Until next time (which hopefully will be soon, Erik is ready to dive for more shark teeth - haha).Erik & Gina
Perfect location, immaculate, well stocked. Would love to return again next summer!

A true Dream staying here! Perfect beach location, lovely designed and cared for home and deck with the best beach views and great waves…. Large bedrooms and bathrooms! Host is super sweet, helpful and magical.
Our vacation was absolutely wonderful!! The host was very accommodating and friendly. We have been to Kure many times but first time taking the grandchildren and the Dreamers Den didn't disappoint 🙂⛱️
Wonderful beach front property! Beautifully decorated, fully equipped and spotless! Quiet location on the beach but conveniently located to so much.
This was our second stay here, and we plan to return.
We had a great time. Lanette was so accommodating.

The house was very clean and well supplied
The host was very friendly and gave us information on local activities that we may enjoy attending.
The house is well decorated but not cluttered.
The pictures did not do it justice. This was by far the nicest rental I have ever stayed in . The view was amazing. The beach was amazing and the host was super accommodating and wanted us to feel We were on a resort vacation. Kudos to Lynette.
Everything about this property exceeded our expectations, that includes the host. We are already looking forward to coming back next year, hopefully we can stay longer next time. Thanks again to LaNette for making our vacation so enjoyable.
Dreamer's Den has everything you need to have a wonderful time at the beach. Its location is fantastic, right on the water and minutes from the restaurants and shops in Kure and Carolina beaches. I stayed with my older parents, my husband and our little dog and we all felt so welcome. I love that there are two king bedrooms with comfortable mattresses, so no one had to climb up to a bunk bed or sleep on the couch. The host, LaNette lives right downstairs, so she's available if you need anything. But you won't because she has thought of everything. We would definitely stay here again.
Really enjoyed Dreamer's Den. Host has everything you need there and more. Direct access to beach via boardwalk. Used propane grill for outdoor cooking and ate on back deck. Outdoor shower for use after ocean swims a nice feature. Very comfortable accommodations, including for our small dog. We would definitely go back.
Great accommodations! Everything was clean and well kept! All utilities worked. Took advantage of the new grill the host just added for a great evening meal. Beach access was great! Host was very accommodating and pleasant to speak with.

Pleasure Island is a coastal barrier island in NC. It is just south of Wilmington, NC. The Cape Fear River is to the west with the Intercoastal Waterway in between. There is a small-town vibe here with so much to offer in interest of all.

One of the few cottage style home left along the island's oceanfront.
