About this property
Pelican's Retreat - Just Steps to Beach, Pier, Dining, Parks
Beautiful and well maintained 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath home located just a 1/2 block directly across from the Ocean Front Park boardwalk and beach access!
Classic Kure Beach townhome with beautiful Ocean Views and loaded with amenities and all the comforts of home, which is being constantly updated.
This special vacation home features three inviting living levels with spacious ocean view decks on the front side and decks on the back where you can soak in the radiating sunsets.
This home is all about location, location, location - with Beach access directly across from your front door, Kure Beach Pier in less than a minute's walk, as well as fine restaurants, diners, coffee shop, arcades, and other shops all within a very short walking distance.
Just walk out the front door and have sand between your toes in mere seconds!
Tastefully decorated, fully furnished, and comfortable mattresses in every bedroom, so your family can relax and rest in luxury and comfort. Features 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, WiFi, large SmartTV in main living area as well as TV's in the two master suites and lower level Queen/twin suite, an inviting living room, well-appointed kitchen, beach toys, beach chairs, grill(propane tank), and games for the kids and entire family.
And did we mention the beautiful Ocean Views from the spacious decks? The main level deck comes equipped with 2 large patio tables, and cushioned chairs, as well as other chairs.
Professionally cleaned Linens and Bath Towel sets are included in the price of the Cleaning Fee, and beds will be made and ready for you when you arrive!
The top level master suite deck has side tables and chairs, and the 2 back decks have chairs as well.
Located directly across the street from the beach and beach access – be on the sand in less than 60 seconds!
The Ocean Park Boardwalk, Park, and Pavilion are conveniently located less than a 1 minute walk away. There are restrooms, a stage where musical performances, yoga, and arts & crafts festivals are often held, a covered/shaded children’s play area for when the little ones need a break from the sun, and plenty of benches and swings to just sit and relax and take in the sun and scenery from.
In just a few short minutes walking distance, is the Kure Beach Pier, great restaurants, the Kure Beach Diner, the Beach House Burgers (Burger Shack) with the best hamburgers on the beach, Happy Hippie Java Hut, Joe’s Pub for when the adults get thirsty, gift shop, an arcade, ice cream shop, gas and convenience store with a beach mart inside, and pizza shop.
And just an 8 minute stroll along back roads and paved sidewalks, is Joe Eakes Park with tennis courts (lit at night), picnic tables, a full-size 18-hole Disc Golf course, and more!
Once you arrive and park your car, you literally would not have to get in your car to drive anyplace else for you entire stay. But of course there are many other attractions and sites to visit that are just minutes away by car – more on this later!
This southern part of Pleasure Island is a little less crowded than the northern end, so traffic is not as bad and the beaches are less crowded.
You are just a 2-3 minute car ride away from the Aquarium, Fort Fisher State Park, the Civil War Museum, and Fort Fisher State Beach.
In the other direction you are just a few minutes away from Carolina Lake where there is a Farmer’s Market every Saturday morning, Fireworks on Thursday nights, and an Outdoor movie on Friday nights.
And of course is the Carolina Beach Boardwalk, famous Britts Doughnuts, shops, the Amusement Park with rides for all ages, and some of the best restaurants and pubs on the island.
***During The Summer Season We Rent By The Week, from Saturday To Saturday. We Apologize That We Cannot Make Any Exceptions To This Schedule ***(In some cases we may waive this policy as the Summer unfolds and if within 2 weeks of any un-booked week). ***
