Things to do:
Adventure awaits.

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!

Nice alternative to staying at a hotel

Listing about property was a bit misleading stating that the property sleeps 6. The couch had a small pull-out, which would only be suitable for a toddler. Place the was overall nice and very convenient to the beach/ boardwalk.

Good but no pool access

Overall we enjoy this place. Loved the location as you can walk to everything. Place was advertised that we would have pool access, which was one of the top reasons for booking here. We arrived on Friday afternoon at the allotted check-in time and after unloading and figuring everything out, there was no pool key available. Contacted the company that said they do not have spear keys and they have to contact HOA on Saturday AM as they were already closed for,the daythey even came out to the condo to look for the key. We turned the place upside down looking for the "key" as well. Come Saturday morning I contacted them again and was then told HOA is closed over the weekend so there is nothing else that can be done and we could just ask others at the complex to let us in the pool if someone was out there. The actual locked gate at is a distance from the pool and would have to scream at someone hoping they would even hear you, so was not a decent plan. We was never able to use the pool as at the times we wanted to be there of course nobody was out there. Needless to say we had a very disappointed 4 year old that asked to go to the pool the ENTIRE weekend that never was able to go. We even sat out by the entrance of the pool with her hoping we would catch someone that would let us in but never seen anyone. Was told management would reach out to us after the stay but never heard from anyone. The washer did not work either, it wouldn't turn on at all but the dryer worked.
