"A Wave from it ALL!"
Carolina Beach
Looking for a Pleasure Island getaway thats under a 2 block hop to the Atlantic, is STOCKED with amenities, and has balcony's for DAYS to enjoy those painted sunrises and salty breezes? "A WAVE from it ALL!" may be the sea-escape everyones been waiting for!
Managed by SWRE, this modern and impeccably accessorized multi-level Sandcastle brings the BEST of our Island right to your doorstep. From vitamin sea and beach-combing, to a quick jaunt Downtown, paradise is TRULY at your sandy fingertips!
Your property
Pleasure Island (Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, and Fort Fisher) has become a RAPIDLY increasing vacation (and full-time!) destination for the East coast and beyond for many reasons. It’s a family-oriented beach with a touch of everything one might be looking for! It’s an AMAZING place to visit, live, and never leave!
The home lies directly in the middle of both Carolina and Kure Beaches and is a long walk or short drive from downtown Carolina Beach and everything that is has to offer. In Carolina Beach you’ve got the boardwalk, restaurants, and local shops of all kinds. If you like adventures, the marina is also there where you can take an offshore fishing trip, diving excursion, or party boat out for a sunset sail. Camping more your thing? Bring the 4X4 and drive (and camp) on the beach at Freeman Park, located on the North End of the island.
You can also head down to Kure Beach and fish directly off their fishing pier complete with bait, tackles, and more! The Carolina Beach Lake is nearby, hosting a weekly Farmer’s Market every Saturday and FIREWORKS every Thursday. We welcome you to sit back, relax and enjoy yourselves because that's exactly what the beach is for!
The entry to this 4 bedroom/4 bath townhome *sandcastle* opens into a single car garage with ample storage space for all your personal beach nick-knacks, bikes, trikes and belongings! Moving inside from the garage to your immediate right resides Bedroom #1, the “kids’ room” with a Twin + Full bunk bed, smart TV, and Full bathroom #1 (complete with a shower/tub combo) directly next door to round out this ideal ground floor space for ANY age! (*There is a smart TV in EVERY room, including the upper deck space!)
Heading West deeper into the home sits Bedroom #2 with a Queen-size bed, direct “Jack & Jill” bath access to bathroom #1, and a smart TV of its own. Steps away from bedroom #2 is the ground floor elevator ready to test your altimeter and whisk you upstairs! The combination of both a private elevator and staircase allows the entire family to traverse the home with comfort and ease as it extends to each floor, less the rooftop terrace deck.
As you make your way upstairs, you pass a side door to and from the home on your right which allows quick access to the outdoor shower and a sure-fire way to ensure the sand dunes remain outside for ALL to enjoy! As the local (or express!) train continues on, an expanse of breathtaking panoramic views and sliders stop you in your tracks. The master bedroom (Bedroom #3) complete with a King size bed, ensuite bathroom (#2) with a double vanity, jacuzzi tub, and standup shower stall accompanies your private oversized East facing balcony (*complete with Sea Salt breezes at no added cost! *
Heading West back into the hallway, bedroom #4 with a Queen size bed along with Bathroom #3 (complete with a shower/tub combo) come into view just as you hop or ride up to your expansive third floor open entertainment area, kitchen, dining room, family room, and more! Bathroom #4 (the half bath WC) sits just off your modern chef’s kitchen complete with granite, granite, and more granite! Modern stainless appliances and a kitchen chocked full of amenities give you access to dine both IN and OUT like royalty.
1 set of the following will be made on a per bed/per person basis to help you be comfortable on your adventure! Bed sheets (fitted/flat set), bath towels, wash cloths and pillowcases. Laundering or extra sets are not an available service regrettably. Please make sure all used linens are placed in one location in the home at departure. Please let all BED LINENS remain on the beds for our TEAM to take care of! A sincere thanks for your help and we hope that YOU have an AMAZING ADVENTURE!
1 courtesy soap, shampoo and conditioner are left in the bathroom of each home as well as 2 rolls of TP per bathroom. A sponge, dish soap, 2 trash bags per receptacle and (*as applicable) 3 dishwasher and laundry pods will be available to use if needed!
An eclectic mix of family room furniture is meant to provide something different for each of our guests Variety is EVERYTHING! Also on this floor, you’ll find a remote work cubby (*use sparingly*), large screen TV, and another private deck space providing both interior AND exterior dining options to suit the weather, mood, or ambience.
As if partial Atlantic views, crisp morning breezes, and pelicans floating in tandem overhead less than two blocks away from Wilmington Beach wasn’t enough, a spiral staircase takes you up a final flight to a truly remarkable indoor/outdoor space complete with solar lights, an array or outdoor seating, yet ANOTHER smart TV, and access to a tranquility and respite that will simply melt your cares into the sun-kissed seascape before you. It’s not IF you deserve this, it’s how quick can you visit!
Neighborhood description
Pleasure Island is a coastal barrier island in Southeastern North Carolina, USA just south of the City of Wilmington. Pleasure Island is located within Federal Point Township, in New Hanover County. The coastal resort towns of Carolina Beach and Kure Beach, as well as the annexed communities of Wilmington Beach and Hanby Beach are located on the island. The building itself is one row away from the ocean, and two rows in from the Intracoastal Waterway. The suite is less than a mile from the heart of Carolina Beach and everything that is has to offer with its shops, activities, and dining. There are fireworks during the summer every Thursday night, Movies at the lake each Sunday night, and local fairs around the lake each Saturday morning.
Carolina Beach is a mix of friendly locals, snowbirds, and vacationers all looking to escape the inland and enjoy the sand, surf, and sun. We truly have an amazing community! Carolina Beach and the surrounding neighborhoods offer an array of sights and activities to enjoy while here. Some of these examples are (but not limited to) a subtle beach hike through Carolina Beach State Park, Fishing on the Kure Beach Pier, kayaking to one of the many islands surrounding the Intracoastal Waterway, watching canons blast during a historical reenactment at the Fort Fisher State Historic Site, or petting some Sting Rays at the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher. This doesn’t even include the aweing scenery of Airlie Gardens, and our very own battleship (USS NC) in Wilmington! Perhaps more relaxing and less “adventure” is your speed? Our own local Brewery (Good Hops) along with a round of Frisbee golf may be what the doctor ordered!
Getting around
There isn’t anywhere or anything on our Island that isn’t accessible with foot power. Downtown Carolina Beach has several vendors such as Tony Silvagni’s Surf School @ 308 S Lake Park Blvd, Carolina Beach, NC 28428 (bicycles, paddleboards, surfboards, kayaks, chairs, and umbrellas) for rent as an alternative to walking or driving. There's Sun Fun Rentals @1204 N Lake Park Blvd Unit F Carolina Beach, NC 28428. Taxi’s (local golf cart taxi’s) and Uber’s are also generally available for an assist when needed as well throughout the island! You can catch a Ferry to Southport in Kure Beach @ 2422 Fort Fisher Blvd S Kure Beach which leads to another ferry to Bald Head Island where NO CARS are allowed at all!
After all, you won’t catch many locals going OTB! (Over The Bridge). Everything you need is right here!

The HOME: Guests have full access to their own private HOME (never shared), decks, balconies and backyard.
PARKING: Each reservation will have access to (4-5) assigned parking spaces (2 covered/2-3 in the driveway) along the front left of the building.

GOLF CARTS
•To the county, golf carts are considered automobiles. Generally speaking, golf carts are NOT allowed on premises of ANY condo, condotel, or apartment. The same goes for trailers, motorcycles, etc. For SFR’s or properties supporting multiple vehicles, carts should be OK. However, be conscious that few homes have external outlets WITHOUT GFCI’S (which are code by today’s standards). Charging a cart on a GFCI will immediately trip the breaker, resulting in the inability to charge a cart amongst other repercussions. Gas carts will generally be the ideal rental option if in a home whose parking supports such.
•ALL suites are non-smoking (including vaping) and a heavy cleaning/repair charge can result if not adhered to. This includes porches, decks, balconies, and walkways.
• SWRE contractual quiet hours begin at 9:00pm EST. Town ordinance may allow more latitude with regards to noise (11:00pm) but our expectations are to help ensure all guests, locals, and neighbors alike have an enjoyable experience.
•Please always consider TRAVEL INSURANCE from your respective booking site or vendor to help protect your costs in case of inclement weather or last-minute travel complications (court, illness, etc.). These items are NOT refundable scenarios unless the property itself is compromised. If that does happen, we will do our absolute best to find you alternative housing.
