Pleasure Island Paradise - closest rental to the beach you will find
Wake up every morning to watch the sun rising over the ocean, dolphins playing in the waves right in front of you, waves crashing on the sand just feet from your deck and enjoying a cup of coffee in the your comfortable deck chairs. Enjoy the view of Fort Fisher State Recreation area and the amazing twisted live oak trees along the beach trail that starts right next to the condo. Take a walk down to the Fort Fisher Aquarium or the Fort Fisher Battlefield & Museum on the sound side of the island just across the street. For more adventure, rent a kayak to explore Zeke's Island Reserve just a mile or two down the road, or take the ferry to Southport for the day. If you are feeling lazy, enjoy your day at the beach right on the other side of your deck or lounge at the pool, but make sure you take time to explore the coquina rock outcrop at low tide and you might find some beautiful shells and fun sea life in the tide pools. These rocks are literally right on the beach outside The Riggings property. Don't forget all the great restaurants, shops, piers and boardwalk fun just down the Road in the heart of Kure Beach and Carolina Beach.

Thank you so much for the great feedback and we are so happy you enjoyed your stay! We agree that the view of the ocean cannot be beat from our deck and this is my favorite spot when we are there. We stocked the kitchen well to allow our guests and us to be able to show up and cook or bake without needing to buy a lot of stuff other than groceries, but not basic staples like spices, oils and condiments. Thank you for taking great care of our place during your stay and we hope you will stay at our place again in the future.
This is such a beautiful place. It was even better in person. They have absolutely everything you could need, in the best location. We have will absolutely be back!

Thank you so much for your kind words and more importantly for taking such great care of our place during your stay!!! I really appreciate you letting me know about the deck box having broken hinges and saving my shadow box that fell. I was able to replace both of those right after you checked out and now it is all new and ready for your next stay.
Sitting on the deck and watching the waves is so relaxing. There are sandbags in front of the complex due to erosion, however while seated on the deck, the sandbags are not visible. The rental is well stocked with everything needed for a comfortable stay. My family returns year after year to relax and enjoy the view.
We enjoyed our stay thoroughly. The condo was lovely and had everything we needed and more for a quiet relaxing week on the beach!

We loved our stay at Kure beach! This condo is so well stocked and comfortable. Our kids loved the toys, games, and special blankets on the kids beds. My son lived in the shark blanket for the whole week. We hope to be back!

We are so glad you had a great vacation and were comfortable in our place. The shark and mermaid blankets are pretty fun and I love that your son appreciated it. We would love to have you stay again in the future!!!
We have been coming to Kure Beach for about 15 years and have stayed in several different condos over that time. This condo is the cleanest, most comfortable and homey condo we have ever stayed in!! Views are remarkable!! Hope to stay here again next year!!

Thank you for being such wonderful guests! We are glad you really like the place and enjoyed your vacation. We would love to have you come stay again in the future to make new memories with your family!
My kids and I had an amazing stay. Everything was perfect. The hosts truly make it feel just like home. I especially appreciated the little “extras” they had (like sugar, k-cups, and qtips) so nice to not have to run back to the store when we forgot something. Thank you so much to our gracious hosts! We will be back!
The condo was situated in an ideal area for our family vacation. It felt wonderfully secluded, with the natural area adjacent, but was so close to fun excursions and activities. We truly appreciated having a clean, comfortable “home base” with everything we needed provided!
Super cute condo, right on the ocean . Can't wait to go back , we have already recommended it to friends and family

Thoroughly enjoyed the property! So close to the beach that you could get splashed during high tide if you were on the deck! Kids absolutely loved the pool and the beach and enjoyed looking for crabs in the rock outcrops in the ocean. We will definitely be back!

About the host
Hosted by Colleen Murray & Alex Otis
We are a military family from Wake Forest, NC and we have two sons, ages 17 & 22 and a yellow lab named Cooper. We bought this property as a place for us to get away on the weekends and enjoy the slower pace of Kure Beach.
Why they chose this property
We are originally from San Diego, CA and really missed the beach. This property was previously owned by a good friend of ours and we had stayed there several times in the past and fell in love with the condo and Kure Beach. This unit is in the last building on the beach before the Fort Fisher State Recreation area, which means there are no neighbors on the side of our unit. There is not as much traffic at this end of the beach so there is more privacy and at times, it feels like we have our own private beach. I love to hear the waves crashing on the beach outside when I wake up in the morning and watch the sun rise over the ocean with a cup of tea on our deck. We see dolphins and pelicans every day and feel a sense of joy and peace every minute we spend here.
What makes this property unique
First floor unit with parking right outside the front door and no stairs to climb with all your luggage. This is by far the most private of the ground floor units with amazing views from every window in the condo. The deck is right on the beach and an amazing place to hang up a hammock and grab a cold beverage and read a book or just enjoy the view.
