Things to do:
Adventure awaits. Discover aquatic wildlife and vegetation at the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher or enjoy a relaxing ferry ride across the Cape Fear River to a quaint little shopping town called Southport. 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. 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!
Guest Access:
Our properties are individually owned, and our guests will have use of the entire property! Please refer to the listing for details.
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.

Hopefully, you made some lasting memories during your time, we would love to host you again on your next trip!
The property was perfect for a week with our family of four. Close to boardwalk and restaurants, right on the beach. Closet below had beach chairs, umbrella, and toys. Parking setup was odd but we didnt have any issues with it.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad the property was a great fit for your family and that you enjoyed the beachfront location and easy access to the boardwalk and restaurants. We’d love to welcome you back for another stay!
Perfect location!! We enjoyed it so much!! Clean & just the right size for us. We walked almost everywhere all week. Only thing negative I could say is that the washer was kinda loud, but we didn't need it much anyway.
This was a great place in a great location. Easy access to the beach, clean and spacious property. Loved the fact that there were charcoal grills available and everything we needed was at hand. Loved it!

Everything was great. Only complaint was a barking dog in the floor above us. It would go on for hours and late at night.

We had a great stay at Sands IV. The location is perfect for walking to all that Carolina Beach has to offer. The unit is well stocked, clean and very comfortable. We had one slight issue with the air conditioning and after calling, maintenance was quick to arrive and fix the problem. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others.

We enjoyed our stay, the property was nice, the location was great. A few upgrades in the kitchen such as an ice maker, and better pans that would be nice. Parking was difficult because we have a Jeep and small cars would park in the larger stalls. We would definitely stay again

This was a perfect vacation home. The views and location couldn’t have been better. The house was extremely well stocked and clean. The washer/dryer were not working but management staff was quick to respond and seemed to make every attempt to rectify the situation was made. Would love to rent this same again!

9 out 10. Cobdo was great , location and view , perfect size for us.

9 out of 10! We will take that rating. Not sure about the details of the fish smell but glad it was taken care of.
Great location on the beach and within walking distance of restaurants and the boardwalk. Great amenities, well stocked kitchen, games etc. BUT, would not stay here again due to the parking situation. Every unit needs to have an assigned parking spot that will fit an averaged sized car. Not enough spaces for a mid size SUV. Did not enjoy having to have my phone with me and charged at all times for when I would be texted/called to move my car.

Hi Mr. Cunningham! We're glad you all enjoyed your trip to the beach, and we're sorry to hear the parking accommodations proved to be a bit of a challenge. Thank you for your review, and we hope to see you again next year!
The property was exactly what we expected from the listing. It was bright, clean and nicely decorated, a perfect beach theme. There was an issue with the washer/dryer which they notified us of prior to check-in and offered complimentary laundry service if we needed it prior to being repaired. The only complaint I would have would be in regards to parking. The space is extremely tight and getting in and out is a bit stressful. With that being said, I would still consider returning to this property for a future vacation. We definitely enjoyed our stay!

Hi Kristen! We're so happy you enjoyed your stay. We're happy to say the washer and dryer has been fixed but we always strive to go above and beyond to fix any situation that arises! We hope to be able to host you again soon!
We absolutely loved our stay here! It was big enough for me, my husband and our daughter! It was clean, cool and had an amazing view. You do have to walk up 4 flights of steps, just an fyi! The only suggestions I would have is to provide a regular size broom and maybe bedside small rugs or one big one that went under the bed, just to wipe off any sand before getting into bed! Our daughter wanted to sleep on the pull out bed but when we pulled it out there was an unpleasant smell so she just slept in her bed! My husband loved sitting out on the deck with his binoculars and watching the boats and planes! We walked to the boardwalk several times as it is very close!! We would definitely stay again and plan to!!

Thank you so much for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay and that you appreciated the cleanliness, coolness, and amazing view. Your feedback about the stairs is valuable, and we appreciate you mentioning it for future guests.
We're sorry to hear about the issue with the pull-out bed and will ensure it is addressed promptly. We'll also look into providing a regular-sized broom. It's wonderful to know that your husband enjoyed the deck, and that you found the location convenient for walks to the boardwalk. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit!
It is a very good condo. It was clean and well organized. Easy access to the beach, and walkable to good food at Kate's. The first night, we had to use a very narrow parking space (between structural columns) to avoid blocking in another guest. Despite our vigorous ventilation, there is a smoke smell in the unit that lingered the whole week of our stay.
We learned that a "smoking prohibited" rental does not mean it has been smoke free. We contacted management but housekeeping did not respond to our request for a discussion of solutions to the smoke smell issue.

Thank you for your review and we are so glad you liked Sands IV 2-G! I am so sorry to hear that you did not get the response you desired from our Housekeeping department. We always strive to make sure our guests have a wonderful stay, and we are so sorry that you experienced smoke smell. We have sanitized and air purified Sands IV 2-G. Sadly, we confirmed that the smoke was coming from another unit. Will you please call Sea Coast Rentals on Carolina Beach so that we may further address a resolution for the future?
We enjoyed everything about this condo. Beautifully decorated, too the comfy mattresses. Just be aware if u have mobility issues there are 4 flights of stairs to climb. Also the pool is only 3 ft. deep. No where in the listing is that mentioned. Overall a great view and location.

Lovely flat, great loction
Top of the range apartment, very nice place.
The agency gave us the wrong keys, as international travellers we did not have local mobile phone access and had to all on a kindly neighbour who let us use her phone to call the agency.
After 50 minutes on hold, we were told a key pad code so didn't even need keys. Sloppy customer service and wasted nearly 2 hours of our time after long flights....
