Things to do:
Adventure awaits. Discover aquatic wildlife and vegetation at the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher or enjoy a relaxing ferry ride across the Cape Fear River to a quaint little shopping town called Southport. Take a trip back in time at the Fort Fisher State Historic Site and Museum, which features live oak-covered trails and bunkers from the American Civil War. Stroll through the marsh to visit the home of the famous Ft. Fisher Hermit. Or wind down with nature at our two state parks, sure to provide a memorable experience with hiking, fishing, and water activities such as paddle boarding and kayaking, and search for a Venus Flytrap which is native to NC only. As one of North Carolina's most undeveloped beaches, the island offers a unique opportunity to see many diverse coastal wildlife, including pelicans and loggerhead sea turtles, in their natural habitat. Whether it’s exploring activities on the island, enjoying the ocean views, or enjoying a cocktail by sunset from your own private balcony, Pleasure Island offers diversion for every enthusiast!
Explore the treasures of Carolina Beach, ranked one of the top 10 boardwalks in the country by Food & Wine magazine. One of the last remaining beach boardwalks on the East Coast, it includes a variety of restaurants, an arcade, shops, ice cream, Famous Britts Donuts, bars, and more! During the summer months, the Boardwalk is bustling with the sound of music, carnival rides, bingo, family nights, and events like the weekly fireworks and concert series. Annual off-season events include the Cape Fear Kite Festival, Christmas by the Sea, and the Island of Lights Festival.
We look forward to you visiting us!

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.
Other Things to Note:
You must be at least 25 years of age to book this property.

8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2026
The AC unit did not work great. At night it gets very stuffy and the AC unit will not go below 70. It was okay since it was in the mid 80's and the fan in the living room is nice but it made it uncomfortable to sleep, and I can imagine as the summer get warmer it will continue to be an issue. Hall bathroom had a ton of dust build up on the walls, other than that it was fairly clean. Outside deck slants some, made us question how secure it was. Kitchen was well stocked for meals we wanted to prepare. We liked the view and proximity to the beach. If you have an SUV/truck read parking carefully!!! Parking is very tight!

Great last minute get away find!!

First time visiting Carolina beach and all I can saw is wow. The location was perfect, the condo was clean with an awesome view. We could walk to anything we wanted and the beach was amazing with very little crowd. This may be our new vacation spot as the entire family had the best time just relaxing and enjoying the scenery. Our only complaint was that you could hear all of the noise from neighbors, and you can hear and fell all the footsteps above as we had a big group staying above us with kids so there was a lot of step noise, but not enough to kill our good vibes.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2023
Pros:
Great location and view
Private beach access
Beautiful kitchen
Lovely balcony area
Fun decor
Saturday to next Sunday check out
Electric keypad for keyless entry
Dryer works well.
Good coffee maker
Spacious living room
No carpet or rugs to worry about with the sand
Cons:
-Master bath shower broken between Saturday arrival and Tuesday evening.
-Lots of ants and one giant flying cockroach in our week long stay.
-Broom with no dustpan.
HORRIBLE parking situation for this unit. 1 space that is super tight. Second space non existent due to large plants growing into lane and no room if any second car parks in A’s extra spot. Karen’s from unit C (who aren’t staying at the property) patrol and have people towed within hours. If this happens to you like it happened to us, the company is Atlantic Recovery. There are no signs or information at the property regarding which company to call, but the Carolina Beach PD were super friendly and very helpful, along with the multiple tow companies we called who made suggestions of how we could track down our friend’s vehicle.
-Instructions for check out did not arrive in email until the day after we checked out.
-Blue tint on main TV that cannot be fixed by changing screen settings.
