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.

Located right on the beach, this condo is spacious and a very short drive from the Fort Fisher Aquarium, Carolina Beach Boardwalk and many other attractions, restaurants, etc. Would definitely return!

Charles, so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay in 0903! We hope to see you again soon, thank you for the stellar review!
Carpeted steps -filthy, multiple cockroach sightings, beds were very uncomfortable, pull out couch was a total joke. The same person who installed the counter top and stove must have installed the clothes dryer, vent crimped off not allowing air flow, 3 hours to dry 4 towels, could be a fire hazard, we were afraid to use.
Everything was great! Few flights of steps to the ocean!
Only negative we had was the master bed. It was like sleeping on a piece of cardboard on concrete…we went and bought a 2 inch memory foam mattress topper and it made our stay much better!
We would DEFINITELY stay here again! It was great! Steps to the beach and fully furnished for the most part! Would definitely reserve this property again!

Needs to be updated and cleaned better
The location of the property was great, but this place definitely needs some updates. The day we got there we never received a text or phone call to tell us our place was ready I had to call to see what was going on and we didn't get into the condo til after 6 sometime. I did a load of laundry and the washer was broken and wouldn't drain the water and it took 2 days for someone to come look at it and they couldn't fix it, so it stayed filled with water our entire stay. Finally on thursday someone came and picked our clothes up to wash them. This place also wasn't very clean at all, you would think during this pandemic they would clean things better, all the windows were dirty. The guest room the feet on the bed were broke so the bed is crooked and the guest bathroom the towel rack was starting to fall off the wall so you were afraid to use it. The master bedroom the furniture needs upgraded. All in all great location needs some upgrades and a better cleaning staff

Great location, but needs updates
The location was perfect - right on the beach and next to the beach access and pool. The kitchen was updated, but otherwise, the unit needed updates throughout.

Did not get to enjoy the first day since we couldn’t get into room until last minute. It looked as if no cleaning was done. Weather was great!
