The coastal resort towns of Carolina Beach and Kure Beach, as well as the annexed communities of Wilmington Beach and Hanby Beach are located on the island. The building itself is one row away from the ocean, and one row from Carolina Beach Lake. The Carolina Beach Lake is nearby, hosting a weekly Farmer’s Market every Saturday and FIREWORKS every Thursday. We welcome you to sit back, relax and enjoy yourselves because that's exactly what the beach is for!
The home is in the heart of Carolina Beach and moderate walking distance to downtown and everything that is has to offer. In Carolina Beach you’ve got the boardwalk, restaurants, and local shops of all kinds. If you like adventures, the marina is also there where you can take an offshore fishing trip, diving excursion, or party boat out for a sunset sail. Camping more your thing? Bring the 4X4 and drive (and camp) on the beach at Freeman Park, located on the North End of the island.
You can also head down to Kure Beach and fish directly off their fishing pier complete with bait, tackles, and more! You can also head down to Kure Beach and fish directly off their fishing pier complete with bait, tackles, and more!

Pleasure Island is a coastal barrier island in Southeastern North Carolina, USA just south of the City of Wilmington. Pleasure Island is located within Federal Point Township, in New Hanover County. The coastal resort towns of Carolina Beach and Kure Beach, as well as the annexed communities of Wilmington Beach and Hanby Beach are located on the island. The building itself is approximately one hundred feed from the complexes private access. The property is a long walk or short drive from downtown Carolina Beach with its shops, activities and dining and is equidistant to the smaller, but just as charming Downtown Kure Beach with its fishing pier and aquarium.
Carolina Beach is a mix of friendly locals, snowbirds, and vacationers all looking to escape the inland and enjoy the sand, surf, and sun. We truly have an amazing community! Carolina Beach and the surrounding neighborhoods offer an array of sights and activities to enjoy while here. Some of these examples are (but not limited to) a subtle beach hike through Carolina Beach State Park, Fishing on the Kure Beach Pier, kayaking to one of the many islands surrounding the Intracoastal Waterway, watching canons blast during a historical reenactment at the Fort Fisher State Historic Site, or petting some Sting Rays at the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher. This doesn’t even include the aweing scenery of Airlie Gardens, and our very own battleship (USS NC) in Wilmington! Perhaps more relaxing and less “adventure” is your speed? Our own local Brewery (Good Hops) along with a round of Frisbee golf may be what the doctor ordered!
I will be available for check-in and general assistance until 8PM EST. Anything with the exception of an emergency (ie. flood, fire, or another *safety* related risk sent to Maintenance) will be responded to ASAP the following day :)
There isn’t anywhere or anything on our Island that isn’t accessible with foot power.

GOLF CARTS
•To the county, golf carts are considered automobiles. Generally speaking, golf carts are NOT allowed on premises of ANY condo, condotel, or apartment. The same goes for trailers, motorcycles, etc. For SFR’s or properties supporting multiple vehicles, carts should be OK. However, be conscious that few homes have external outlets WITHOUT GFCI’S (which are code by today’s standards). Charging a cart on a GFCI will immediately trip the breaker, resulting in the inability to charge a cart amongst other repercussions. Gas carts will generally be the ideal rental option if in a home whose parking supports such.
•ALL suites are non-smoking (including vaping) and a heavy cleaning/repair charge can result if not adhered to. This includes porches, decks, balconies, and walkways.
•Please always consider TRAVEL INSURANCE from your respective booking site or vendor to help protect your costs in case of inclement weather or last-minute travel complications (court, illness, etc.). These items are NOT refundable scenarios unless the property itself is compromised. If that does happen, we will do our absolute best to find you alternative housing.

Just what the Sea ordered...
We enjoyed our weekend vacation at Cast-A-Waves which had an ideal access to the beach. The condo was beautifully decorated, supplied, and cozy. Maintenance requests were promptly addressed and the only concern we had was the uncomfortable couch and floors which needed to be thoroughly mopped. cozy.

Family Trip
We were on an end of school year family trip that we habitually take the 1st week of june and we loved our stay. The condo has a great kitchen and living area that flows beautifully onto a balcony overlooking the beach where we ate breakfast and lunch everyday then returned at night to snuggle up for some book reading and tv watching before bed. The town is wonderful because it is not overly touristy and is full of local spots, like the one right across the street called The Spot! The only downside to the whole week was the lack of linens-no towels, no sheets, no washcloths and no beach equipment! I dont remember reading that in the description but received an email communication 2 days before we were to leave that we would need to bring all of the linens or rent a linen package. We made do but overall i prefer at least sheets on the beds! And every condo we have stayed at for the last now 7 years, has had some sort of beach paraphernalia in the closets. So be warned, this condo comes equipped with nada. Spacious and comfy yes with an amazing location, but must be a newer rental and needs to work on some basic beach necessities. Still it was a great week with amazing memories!

Delightful!
This condo was absolutely wonderful! It was very well stocked and impeccably clean. I was worried that there wouldn’t be much of a view since it’s on the side of the building, but the ocean view from the balcony was great. Parking was easy, however during the busy summer months it could be challenging since there are more parking passes (2 per unit) than parking spaces. The beach themed decor was tastefully done and made it even more fun to get away from our winter weather for a while! We would definitely recommend this unit to others.
