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.

The condo itself is great. However, most of the amentities of Ocean Dunes are outdated and not well maintained. Mainly, the playground and tennis court area. The playground isnt bad, but the area as a whole looks apocalyptic. We still love and highly recommend this place. It would just be nice if the whole facilty was as nice as the condo itself.

Would never rent these condos again
The unit smell very strongly of mold and smoke. The underside of the unit in the carport had been torn off exposing obvious problems of flooring rot and extensive mold the went beyond the cosmetic. I had mild asthma and Mild mild allergy after being in the unit for 5 minutes I couldn’t stop coughing. I had to constantly uses my inhalers. Had the property managers been honest about the work in progress, instead of misrepresenting the current state of the unit, I would have not chosen to spent my Labor Day weekend there
This property should not be rented in its current state of disrepair.
Upon arrival, we saw that the garage ceiling was ripped apart with insulation and debris all over the place, with birds nesting in the exposed beams. Upon closer inspection of the situation, we located several support beams that were rotten thru and disintegrating. It's unsightly at best and a safety hazard at worst.
Once inside the property, there is an obvious structural issue that you can see and feel in uneven, 'fun house' style floors.
We did a quick inspection of everything else, and found the washer/dryer stackable was broken and missing parts in places, one of the chairs in the living room was broken and falling apart, and the electrical box was rusted out.
I've rented properties all over the world and can honestly say I've never been given keys to a property that was so unkempt from a safety perspective.
When I notified the rental agency of our concerns with pictures, I never heard from them...not even a courtesy, 'We'll look into it.'

Perfect for 2
Loved the view! We prefer low key vacations-we didn't use the pool, etc. The location is great. End unit condo was very quiet. We were there during the beach reclamation and even that was enjoyable watching the dozers putting sand back on the beach.
Unit was very clean, linens good. Only thing we would have changed was bedroom needs room-darkening drapes-safety lights shine in from street and stairs. Definitely a consideration for next vacation.
