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. Rent a Jeep, bicycle, or golf cart as the most convenient ways to navigate the island. Annual off-season events include the Cape Fear Kite Festival, Christmas by the Sea, and the Island of Lights Festival.

Nice but not for us
The property location was great. Parking was challenging when the building was full. The condo could use some repairs and better beds and sheets.The takeaway: wrong choice for us.

Family visit
We were there to visit family in Wilmington and down the beach was our family reunion. It was a perfect location and fun walking back and forth to visit with everyone.

Great View and So Restful!
The place was just as advertised. Sitting on the porch in the mornings and watching the waves was amazing. Then just a quick walk and you’re on the beach. Highly recommend!

Seaview Surf Shack Getaway
The room was comfortable, clean and spacious!!! We loved the ocean view and relaxing experience of the “beachy” atmosphere that the whole town has to offer. Will be returning soon for some good R & R. So glad we found this condo. A hidden gem for sure!

Great location, poor organization
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.
