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 location was perfect! Being right on the water was exactly as described and so convenient with having kids wanting to be on the beach nonstop. The sunrises and sunsets were perfection. Truly a gem.

Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at our vacation rental property. We hope the memories you made here will last a lifetime and that you'll consider coming back for more adventures.
Ocean Dunes at Kure Beach is a quiet end of the island. The condos are comfortable and the beach is clean and very walkable, all the way to the pier. This was our second stay in Kure with family in the area and we will likely be back.

The house was literally right on the beach! Spacious and clean! We appreciated the private balconies and the closed garage storage for beach supplies. About 10 minute drive to restaurants in Carolina beach. The beach was uncrowded which we loved. Highly recommend!

The location of this property is fantastic!! Such a wonderful view and right on the beach. The walk from the condo to the beach was super short which made beach going with 3 small kids easy. The property itself was nicely furnished and clean. The layout worked well for our family and the dining table was large enough to accommodate all 7 of us. Would definitely recommend this property!

Thank you for your upbeat review. Sounds like your family had a nice time. We look forward to your return.
We stayed for spring break and although the weather was cold then hot (literal extremes), we had a blast! The condo was clean and location to the beach and indoor pool/clubhouse was great! We would definitely recommend this location for those with children. Check in and check out was a breeze as well (not having to visit the office was definitely a plus)! We hope to be able to book again in the future! Thank you for having us!

Overall, the listing was accurate in regards to layout, bed, spaces, etc. The kitchen was very well designed and well equipped. Balcony views are gorgeous. The carpeting on the stairs and bedrooms is old and should be removed. The master bedroom bed (the bedroom with ocean view) needs to be replaced- very uncomfortable. For the price we’d have expected those two things to be better. Carpeting grossed me out. Otherwise great trip!!!!!

The condo was well appointed. Plenty of dishes and cool ware. Comfortable couch and large dining table. The beds were ok. Did not receive proper size bed linen, even after requesting the exact size.
The rental company Sea Coast Rentals was relentless with daily text and or email. I ask them to stop sending them. This rental company also required you to bring and did not supply any: toilet paper, bath soap, dish soap, trash bags.
We also had to make our own beds at check-in and was required to strip all the beds at check out. The property was not that clean. We found the whole process, not relaxing at all and the last thing you wanted do when you’re on vacation.
We could not have ask for a better place to stay, plenty of room for the 5 adults,very clean.. one of the siblings was overwhelmed at the beautiful view of the ocean (he had never been to the ocean before) and he is 71 yrs young the neighbors were very quite and it was a very peaceful time..thank you

June 2021: We enjoyed our stay at Ocean Dunes 1502 with 4 adults, our 5 year old and 11 month old.
Location: 9/10. Under 60 seconds to be on the beach, which was low and flat, giving the kids plenty of room to splash in not-too-deep water, and created some tidal pools. Not crowded either, though the 5 year old made a few friends. At the coquina outcrop nearby we saw dozens of tiny crabs and a sea urchin. Gorgeous sunrises, and even caught a couple sunsets. 3 minute walk to the outdoor pool (often busy, only 1 poolside umbrella, so we went near mealtimes). Only real downside was the unseen offshore coquina that cut my boogie boarding time short
Interior: 8/10. The patio was a huge draw, great views and often all 6 of us were out there with room to spare, in chairs that were very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped, we found everything we needed. Beds were comfortable. SmartTVs in each room was a nice touch but we barely turned them on--it wasnt until the last day that we figured out how to use the Spectrum cable via the AppleTV. But beware any early risers, the floor on the main level cracks and pops loud enough to wake kids in the bedroom
Service: 7/10. Everyone we spoke to was very friendly and helpful, and the small issues we had on arrival (wrong door code, wrong sheet sizes, toilet wouldnt flush) were resolved quickly. But several things seemed to change in the last few days before arrival--suddenly needed a copy of my drivers license, check-in time was 4 PM, then it was "4 to 6 PM, wait for a text" (ultimately a non-issue, it was ready at 2 PM), and then we were notified the day before arriving that pest control would be spraying indoors where our 11 month old would be crawling.
Overall, a pretty great spot. The condo is in good shape and well equipped. Easy drive to Carolina Beach boardwalk (thankfully, as we found 0 pizza places that would deliver, thwarting our Saturday post-arrival dinner plan). We didn't use the indoor pool or exercise center but it was nice to know they were there, if weather had been worse. I would book it again.
