About the area:

Pleasure Island. Carolina Beach and La Casita are located on Pleasure Island - home to some of the most beautiful North Carolina beaches. Enjoy the sand, surf, and our quaint, historic beach towns of Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, and historic Fort Fisher.

Boardwalk - Within walking distance you'll find the newly renovated boardwalk. Ranked one of the top 10 boardwalks in the country by Food & Wine magazine, it is one of the last remaining beach boardwalks on the East Coast, where you can get your fill of famous homemade donuts, ice cream, and fudge, play in the arcade, see the ocean from the Ferris wheel, or dance the night away to live music. During the summer months, the Boardwalk is bustling with the sound of music, laughter and the squeals of kids of all ages as they whoosh and whirl past on the assortment of rides at the seaside amusement park and at extraordinary events like the weekly fireworks and concert series. Enjoy a free concert and fireworks on the boardwalk at Carolina Beach every Thursday night, weather permitting. Don't forget to go by Britt's donuts for a one of a kind experience.

Fort Fisher - Walk the battery of the Fort Fisher Civil War Battlefield located at the south end of the Island? Shop the gift shop for treasures. Enjoy the FREE Summer Concert Series at Ft. Fisher.

North Carolina Aquarium - The North Carolina Aquarium is a delight for all ages. Movies and programs for all are offered, and the staff is very helpful.

Cruise and fishing charters - Visit the Carolina Beach Marina down the street Take a sightseeing cruise or charter a fishing expedition. Anglers, the fishing is great! Fish on the beach, from the pier, catch a head boat, charter a boat, or launch your own at a public launch. There are many water sports to enjoy. You can rent or bring your own equipment for snorkeling, surfing and boating adventures.

On Pleasure Island you will also find the best seafood restaurants around, a park and small lake with paddle boats and walking trails, a tiki hut on the beach (you can listen to live bands), beach shops, bike rentals, and much more. In addition to the many parks, dog parks, trails and bike paths, the Carolina Beach State Park is nearly 1,000 acres of exploration and trails, including a boat launch area.

There is a bicycle path that runs along a part of the island. There are two piers on the island for fishing. Pleasure Island features various festivals throughout the year. The Spring Festival at Carolina and Kure Beaches features live entertainment, arts and crafts. Several Golf courses are located close by and there is a disc golf course at Kure Beach and Good Hops Brewery. There are several shops in the area featuring beach items ranging from clothing to home decor. Numerous restaurants are just a short walk from the condo and serve meals ranging from snacks and casual to more formal evening meals.

Historic Downtown Wilmington, Located 17 miles away, this port city plays host to various special events. The North Carolina Battleship Museum and riverfront cruises are in Wilmington. Stroll the waterfront, and enjoy fine dining at the numerous restaurants located on the Cape Fear River. Enjoy antiques, original art and handcrafted jewelry. Take one of the ghost tours, the guides will tell you a bit of the history of this old city, and maybe a secret or two. Horse drawn tours of the city are also available. During the summer outdoor activities are scheduled along the Wilmington riverfront. A ferryboat makes the half hour trip to the quaint town of Southport. Cars or Bicycles may be taken onto the ferry that goes from Fort Fisher to Southport, both great places to visit.

Enjoy the charming atmosphere of Carolina beach. Living local will certainly bring you back to your simple childhood days at the beach. This beach experience will strike the right balance between isolated beaches and the hustle and bustle of Myrtle Beach.

It’s okay.
The beach is great of course. Not extremely busy and very easy and close to get too. Condo had a storage unit with lots of great items for the beach, chairs, toys, umbrella etc. The kitchen had lots of useless items and not stuff thats practical for a week stay for cooking/ storage. Good bit of decor not needed that took up room for a small space. Soft spots in the floor. Water smelled awful. Condo more suitable for max of 4 people. We had to put sheets on the beds when we got there. More blankets, toilet paper would have been nice.Washer was moldy and smelled bad. Outlet covers, curtains, toilet paper holder all hanging off wall. Parking is a nightmare especially if you have a bigger car like us. Told us we would be getting a sand bucket vs bag for our welcome gift and we didn’t get a bucket.stairway is tight and awkward getting to room. We had a great time overall. The road the house on is very tight with lots of people walking, no sidewalks, and houses right on top of the road. This was our most expensive place we have stayed in Carolina beach and our least favorite. It was okay but wouldn’t book here again unfortunately.

Great view and well stocked place
I really like a place that doesn't skimp on what they provide. I loved they included linens, basic spices and cleaning supplies, detergent, and even had a lovely bottle of wine and sunglasses! Generous beach supplies too - nice chairs, etc. Their communication was great whenever I had a question. Great view! The only cons were the stairs, moldy washing machine and broken dryer (we had to set the cycle about 10 times to dry one load), and some rickety furniture on the deck (the picnic table was lopsided and unstable). The neighbors above us thumped like elephants the entire week, started early too, but that may be luck of the draw. Great location. Would stay here again if it was just the two of us (our teens didn't love sharing a small bed).

Overall good time
Great view and location, plenty of parking for visitors. Cheaply updated, unsafe electrical panel, black mold in dryer. Had an issue with the fridge and owners responded immediately to fix issue.

Great location and views
The location is amazing and views are beautiful! Overall we would recommend La Casita- it was clean, beds were comfortable (except the sleeper sofa), and it had most things we needed to cook and enjoy the beach. There are a few things that probably need to be updated/addressed in the near future. For example, the washer was moldy and smelled, the handle on the storage closet was coming off, and a few of the sliding doors came off track easily which was a bit frustrating. In the end, we enjoyed our stay and the amazing views.
