Enjoy your morning coffee or Nespresso drink while maybe catching dolphins swim by in the morning. 4B/4B townhouse that boasts plenty of space to relax and enjoy Pleasure Island! So much to do on the island- fishing charters, great restaurants, and shopping! Minutes from historic Ft. Fisher and the NC Aquarium!



The Space:

A starter kit of one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, one roll of paper towels, a trash bag, and dish soap. We also supply laundered bed linens, comforters, and 1 bathing towel and wash cloth per person. We do not supply any beach gear or beach towel. We have great rental companies on the island we would be more than happy to share the info with you. We also do not supply laundry detergent, body soap or shampoo/conditioner as we find everyone has their own preferences for these =) Please review our house rules prior to your stay

Many amazing restaurants, eclectic drinking holes and coffee shops + Historic Ft. Fisher and the NC Aquarium. Check out Carolina Beach’s new mural project too!

Really nice house/duplex, the location is very nice, super easy to walk right onto the beach. Very nice kitchen, bathrooms, beds, tvs and furniture. Good parking, the only thing that could be improved some of the balcony doors are hard to open and close. Overall a great property!

4/10 Poor

Liked: Location
Disliked: Communication
House was beautiful however poorly designed. Stairs need non slip strips and house description should point out number of stairs to inform prospects as not all people can maneuve that many or provide elevator access. We were denied use of the elevator and I paid you over 6000 for a cottage that I could not manuever due to lung damage following COVID pneumonia in 2021 spending 2 weeks in ICU fighting for my life. I felt cheated as I had to spend the majority of my time on one floor. Two of my family members suffered two falls during the week on the stairs. Also I reached into the cabinet for a large pot and when I took hold of it...it was coated with grease. Apparently it was put up after usage without being washed. That was grossly nasty As I said your home is beautiful but we will not be renting it again. Thank you.

We had wonderful stay at this property. Rooms were incredibly clean, kitchen well stocked for all your cooking needs. The view was spectacular and beach access was perfect for what we were looking for. I only gave it 4 stars b/c of the stairs. OMG, the stairs! The property does have an elevator but wasn't made available to us. When you're lugging bags, food, coolers, etc in to the house, don't pack heavy. 2 full flights of slick stairs just to get to the kitchen. It was a challenge, to say the least. We all bit it a few times on the stairs/landing. I would definitely stay here again, however I'd pack differently to navigate the stairs or ask for elevator access.
