1650 SF condo with 2 assigned parking spots. SPACIOUS living area, kitchen and dining! Extra-large private balcony, perfect for keeping your beach stuff outside & safe. Great view of Lakeside events (ie. movies, bands, etc.) and the Christmas parade from your balcony!

Sleeps 6 in beds. Bedroom #1 has TWO queen beds, w/balcony access. Bedroom #2 (kids room) has a full size bed.

The unit comes equipped with a full-size washer & dryer, and a spacious balcony with a view of the Carolina Beach Lake. This ideal location makes it easy to walk anywhere in a few minutes, which saves on parking fees! Beach access, shopping, dining, recreation/bike rentals, (including beach wheelchairs) are all within about a block.

Free parking for 2 cars on the property (note, it's a little tight to fit two full size trucks, just FYI; there is an adjacent paid parking lot that currently charges $25 per day that also allows for use of any "Town" parking lot on the Island). There is also one free visitor spot but it's first come first served; therefore, not guaranteed. But plenty of options nonetheless!

With a south facing balcony, so long as the sun is out, you can relax and take in some rays any time of the day! You'll have some lake views and plenty of people watching to do during the busy season. Smell the burgers grilling, hear the sounds of vacation fun all around you! Walk back inside and enjoy the same views from your great room with three large windows on 2 sides of your unit. You'll have the best seats in the house for Movies At The Lake (during season), and the Christmas tree lighting & the night-time Carolina Beach Christmas parade (not to mention a view of the fireworks from your LR window and a peek at the beach ball drop on New Years Eve). No worries about finding a parking spot for any of these events because you're already there! And it's a walk in the park (literally) as you stroll through the Saturday farmers/flea market and many other lakeside events and celebrations (May.-Oct). Carolina Beach Lake also has a paved walking/biking trail, a walking story book, swing set, pavilion, picnic tables, charcoal grill, lookout sitting areas, and paddle boats.

And did we forget to mention that vast blue body of salt water that is only about 250 steps away?🚶🏖

Carolina Beach boasts a newly renovated and colorful small-town style boardwalk and walking strip with various unique stores, souvenir shoppes, eateries &, bars; as well as a nearby party boat, boat launch, beach rentals, regatta and amusement park (during season). Down the road a bit is Kure Beach (and KB pier), the NC Aquarium, Fort Fisher (and FF history museum), and ferry boat access to the quaint town of Southport (where scenes from films such as Safe Haven, A Walk to Remember, I Know What you Did Last Summer and Dawson's Creek were filmed).

Skip the pitstop to the big chain coffee shops as you pass through Wilmington on your way to the beach because CB offers you 6 locally owned coffee shops to choose from (4 within walking distance). Want a "Friends" style coffee shop experience? Check out Majik Beanz. Want to try some creatively crazy good donuts with your "Carolina Sand" latte? Visit Wake-n-Bake (next to the Food Lion). Want to check out a hidden gem with locally roasted coffee beans and the best bacon-egg-cheese on brioche? Then hit up the North End Café. There are also 2 trendy coffee shops near the boardwalk (Mamala [great healthy fresh food choices too] and Crush & Grind (premium coffee, wine & craft beer). 2023 brings yet another amazing coffee shop (The Vault), this one with a large selection of wines and craft brews, and a drive-thru!

And you'll have too many restaurants of many cuisines to choose from! Besides lots of great seafood choices, you'll also have plenty of Irish Pubs, Mexican, Italian, Indian, Chinese, Thai, burger & pizza joints, diners & local breweries to keep you wondering where to eat. The best ice cream (Squiggly's) on the island is 2 buildings away (we've had guests take an evening stroll for ice cream with their PJ's on). And be sure to check out Unique Boutique which has some interesting ladies apparel (also just a few steps up the street, opposite Squiggly's.)

Also on the island, you will find some of your well known chain stores and fast food joints (such as CVS, Walgreens, Dollar General (the nicest DG this side of I-95 in our opinion), Subway, Bojangles, Jimmy Johns, McDonalds, Hardees, 2 grocery stores (Food Lion and Publix) just to name a few. If you're in need of health and wellness services, there is an urgent care facility, and a few massage & hair/nail salons on the island. Although we love Wilmington, there really is no need to go back OTB (over the bridge) once you've arrived on Pleasure Island!

Some "must-try," "must-do" or "must see before you leave" places to check out before you head back OTB are Britt's Famous Donuts on the boardwalk (established 1939), the Fat Pelican (voted #1 Dive bar in NC and #25 in the nation), Fort Fisher, the NC Aquarium, and definitely the ferry boat to Southport! But of course... since your condo is next door to the Hang Ten Grill; a quick bite to eat is always only a few steps away!
