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.

Beautiful! We throughly enjoyed it! The private boardwalk to the beach was absolutely perfect!

House needs a deeeep clean and some renovations. We went for the beach and had a great time.
8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2024
This was such a great little house. Roomy living space, open kitchen, the rooms were good size. Easy 20min walk to the boardwalk. The property could have been cleaned better. Very dusty - the blinds, fans, even walls were covered with dust. Many of the air vents had mold growing in and around them. The mattresses are pretty old and uncomfortable. And the bunk beds only one had a real mattress. The others just had pieces of foam as a mattress. Which was fine for my 3 year old but if you weigh more than 30 pounds, it might be a problem. But overall, my family and I had a great time at the beach!!!
6 / 10Average·Aug 2025
The house was not very clean, there was still sand in one of the showers which leads me to believe it wasn’t even touched by the cleaners. The rest of the house was also not cleaned well. The deck has boards that are sticking up which was a tripping hazard and also splinter hazard. The walkway to the beach is overgrown with plants. There was no where to store groceries, a pantry or even small bookshelf would have been nice as most of the table and counter space had to be used. The location is great and I have no complaints about the proximity to the boardwalk and restaurants. I think this house has a lot of potential. Overall, we enjoyed our vacation.
