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.

This was our first time visiting Carolina Beach. We were so happy with the condo and the location. We parked our car when we got there and didn’t need to drive anywhere all week. The location is perfect and the condo had everything we needed. We will definitely be back!

Location is wonderful, bedrooms are decently sized, but kitchen/living area and balcony are ridiculously small for four people. Balcony is basically a ledge with a railing. Kitchen is so small it’s basically useless. And the .

We had a wonderful time. The mattresses were wonderful and soft. It was so much space. The only thing i would suggest is a step stool. I had to use a chair to reach the top cabinets.

Cleanliness
Overall, it was a decent place to stay with the exception of the comforters on the beds, they had a stinch of sweating humans on them. We washed them ourselves so we could sleep knowing that no one else's body odor was with us. It was a bit smaller than we anticipated but that wasn't a problem because it was just my wife and me. Location was Great!!!
Location, convenience, excellent condo. It was Definitely worth it. Not really a complaint but I advise others that 6 people inside will be tight and gets uncomfortable to lounge in the living/eating space.. 4 adults and maybe a child would be perfect.

location was great. Roaches were a pain to deal with. we had to take garbage out after every meal. several of the lamps did not work. The DVD player did not work. the handle on the inside of the main door kept coming off and the air conditioning was extremely loud. Beach was awesome and overall trip went well.

Thank you for mentioning the amazing oceanfront location and telling our staff in follow up email that you enjoyed your stay. In same communication, you expressed "I did not call because I did not want to wait around for maintenance to come and fix these items." Unfortunately, we are unable to offer our excellent housekeeping and maintenance response if you do not contact us during your stay. Our standard is to come out immediately to correct anything that does not meet your expectations.
Is it possible to stay on the boardwalk, oceanfront AND enjoy a quiet stay? Yes, in this beautiful 4th floor (top floor) condo. Above and beyond providing all the necessary comforts, this condo was clean and beautifully decorated. Covered parking was plentiful, but we enjoyed walking to a different restaurant each of our 7 nights. If I was to suggest any improvement, it would be to install a door code in place of the hard key. The lock was sticky at times.

The property is as advertised, nice and up to date. The location is centralized to all the restaurants and shops in Craolina Beach. Pros- Location, condo is up to date, access to the beach, response to issue with AC unit.Cons- This property uses a rental agency to manage it and uses a hard key versus electrocinc key. Had to go to the office and pick up the key before going to the property. Had to initially make up the bed, with what this unit cost and being late to let us check in, this should be done. The blinds in the master bedroom let a lot of light in and being a light sleeper this created issues with sleeping at night.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that your recent stay with us did not meet your expectations with not having the beds made and having to pick your key up at the office. We do offer Premier properties that have the beds made as this was not a Premier property or you can add bed making to the reservation in the future if you will give us another chance to host another stay with us. We take all guest comments seriously and we assure you that we will use your feedback to improve our services.
Unit 409 was very clean and appropriately appointed. The beds and sofa were a bit hard for our preferences.
However, we were disappointed in Cabana Suites as a whole. We have stayed at Cabana Suites in various units multiple times and Cabana Suites has gone down hill Both the larger and the baby pool were closed the entire week with no prior notice or explanation. There was a trash bag in the stair well the whole time that was leaking, and the general upkeep was lacking. Is the Cabana Suites under new management?

We are glad you found the 409 unit clean. This owner is great!! Always updating bedding, pictures, etc. Apologies for the pool, we were also not aware of the motor being out, turned out they had a hard time locating one. We hope you are willing to give us a try again. Sea Coast Rentals.
Cabana Suites is the perfect location-everything’s within walking distance.
409 is nicely decorated with high quality appliances and cabinetry. Very comfortable and spotlessly clean.

Cabana 409 is a nice condo. It is a tad small but it worked. The air conditioning did stop working on day 3 but Sea Coast Rentals had it fixed ASAP. The check-in and check-out process was very easy.
The location worked out well. Convenient to everything. Easy access to beach. Pool area was very nice also. Overall, our stay was great.

I would definitely go back to this Cabana! It is smaller than the pics but we didn't mind that the views made up for that. Very comfy beds everything was clean. I loved the distance between the bedrooms. The cabana is near everything including my favorite Britts donuts and Krazy Kones. Had a very pleasant stay will return.
