About this property

Spacious Retreat w/Elevator, Ocean Views, Tiki Bar, Short Walk to the Beach

Carolina Beachside is the perfect home base for your next Pleasure Island getaway. Spacious, comfortable, and just two short blocks from the beach, this beautifully equipped duplex is ideal for families or groups of up to 10. With multiple indoor and outdoor spaces to spread out, everyone can relax and enjoy vacation their way.




Step inside to an inviting open layout and an extra living area complete with a large smart TV—great for movie nights or keeping the kids entertained. An elevator makes moving between floors (and hauling luggage or groceries) effortless.




Outside, you’ll love the newly updated private tiki bar and outdoor kitchen! This area features a grill, fridge, sink, fire pit, and shaded lounging area—your very own outdoor oasis. An outdoor shower makes it easy to rinse off after a day at the beach. With four porches, there’s no shortage of outside space to sip coffee, unwind with a good book or enjoy the coastal breeze.




Fresh linens and towels are included in the cleaning fee, so no need to worry about extra charges!




Located in the heart of Pleasure Island, you’ll be just minutes from everything in Carolina and Kure Beach! Spend your days exploring the island, soaking up the sun, or catching the weekly summer concerts and fireworks. At the beach, the fun truly never stops.




Weekly + Monthly Off-Season discounted pricing available!

The property was as advertised!. Extremely spacious, very clean, great neighborhood in a prime location with excellent ocean views. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable and the owners suite was my favorite to rest and relax after a long day at the beach or boardwalk. The Tikki was a hit for a bbq and evening cocktails. We were literally 2 blocks from the beach and a short distance to the pier where we enjoyed some night fishing. Overall, our experience and stay was excellent!!. We can’t wait until our next at this beautiful house.

This property worked so well for our family! We had two adult couples and two college age young adults. The living room and outside deck were spacious so we could all comfortably hang out together in the same room. With the 4 bedrooms and bathrooms, everyone had their own room, and all were very nice and well-maintained The location was perfect it was in a quiet neighborhood, but an easy walk walk to Kure Beach and the downtown shops, restaurants, and boardwalk.
