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.

We look forward to you visiting us!

Beautiful location. Worst beds I have ever slept on in a rental. All the furniture, pillows, dishes etc need to be replaced. Very disappointed with the quality of everything in the condo. Run down , dirty and not comfortable.

Wonderful location and HOA community. However, there were several issues that need attention like the deck furniture was so rusty that we were afraid to sit on it or use it. The deck table was so rusty that if dropped rust flakes all over the deck. The refrigerator opened backward in a galley kitchen, so you had a hard time getting stuff out (it has reversible door hinges). Doors stuck, outlets didn't work. The condo we rented last year in the same complex was great, this one...not so much.

Almost perfect
Almost perfect
We had a good stay but it was a little dingy. The check in process and communication prior to our stay was awesome. The view was awesome and the place was clean. The only things wrong were the outside wear and tear, the bathrooms, and the bedroom blinds. The bathroom finishes seemed a little cheap and the towel holder fell off of the wall as soon as we got there. There were also roaches the size of a man's pinky finger found in the bathroom (also one in the kitchen) and the kids were afraid to go in. Lastly, the blinds in the bedroom kept falling off. You could tell previous guests put other broken blinds under the bed or in the closet. After trying to put them back up, I was 50% successful and left the rest where I found them under the bed and in the closet.

Cute condo right on the ocean
Cute condo right on the ocean
We enjoyed our stay here — this condo complex is unbeatable if you want to be right on the ocean and on a quieter section of the beach. The condo met all of our needs, although I will say that the furniture is a bit “well-loved” and not that comfortable. The mattress in the master bedroom was lumpy and squeaky — kinda hard to get out of bed without waking your sleeping partner. :). Deck was great — plenty of seating and amazing ocean views. Kitchen had just about everything you would need, but be aware that there are no household products of any kind in the condo, so you will have to buy all of that yourself (paper products, trash bags, soap, cleaning products, etc). This was the first time we rented a condo that was managed by a realty company and not an individual owner, but they (SeaCoast Rentals) were great with their communication and the check-in/check-out process was super easy.

Wood on deck rotten needs fixed before someone gets hurt. Railing going into rooms was broken. Master bed was broken on side closest to window. Everything else was good

Great condo
Great condo
This was a great condo and we loved how close it was to the beach- you can heat the waves even with all the doors and windows shut! The only thing that was an issue is many of the blinds need to be updated. One thing that would be a game changer is blackout curtains in the master bedroom as a lot of light comes in during the morning. Sea coast properties did a great job of addressing my concerns with covid and accommodating a special request. I overall loved this property .
