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.

Loved this spot! Beach access is so easy!! Only improve I'd suggest is having the master shower door fixed. Everything else was great.

We had a great experience at Kure Beach and it was directly tied to the condo we rented. Steps from the beach with two little kids made this location ideal for our family. The condo provided everything we needed. We will definitely be back and would recommend this property.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you loved your first visit to Kure Beach and found our place to be absolutely amazing. It sounds like you had a wonderful time enjoying the ocean views and exploring local dining options. The aquarium visit must have been a hit with the kiddos! We're so glad to hear that you would like to return to Kure Beach. We look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable stay!
Our family had a wonderful time at Kure Beach! The closeness of the beach was amazing! The property was very nice! This was our first time at Kure beach and we loved our experience! The only thing I would say is the beach is a little difficult for young kids to play in because of a drop off but the water is not nearly as rough as beaches up north so we could hold our youngest in the waves. The coquina outcrop rocks are different as well but are really amazing to explore in low tide, our family had the best time catching ocean creatures and we even found a megalodon tooth! Thanks for the memories! It was a great experience!

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are pleased to hear that you had a great experience during your stay with us. Our team is committed to providing exceptional service and ensuring that our guests have a comfortable and enjoyable stay. We appreciate your kind words and are glad that you were satisfied with the amenities and services we offer. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future for another memorable stay (Hopefully with more megalodon teeth)!
We absolutely loved this property. It was very clean and updated. The view was amazing. We could hear the waves from the master bedroom while we slept. We saw dolphins multiple times. It was out first time to Kure Beach and we’ll definitely be back. The beach and pools were not crowded at all. My only recommendation would be to see if the property is available to rent through Sea Coast rentals. I think we could have saved money if we booked directly through them. That is why there are limited reviews on VRBO. I’d give this place a 10 out of 10. It is for sale so hopefully the new owners won’t change anything.

Hi Christina! Thank you so much for the stellar review! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay in 1701 and the amenities at Ocean Dunes. We hope to see you again soon!
Absolutely, positively the BEST vacation on the beach we've ever spent--and we've spent many! This location is the ultimate if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle--you truly feel like you're on a private beach. Access is literally 10 steps away. Waking up to the sound of the ocean and the ocean sunrise was amazing. The place itself was immaculate. Decorated beautifully, upgraded appliances, everything you need in the kitchen...beds were comfortable, showers were really nice. We plan to come back in mid-September. Worth every penny and then some. Also, added bonus is there are dolphins that you can see swimming in the mornings! Highly, highly recommended.

Maria, thank you so much for your review, we love seeing our guests find their ultimate vacation right here on the island! We hope to see you back again soon!
one of the best places I have stayed in Kure Beach. Condo was beautiful, it was a end unit with a great balcony with great view up and down beach. Will plan to stay in same unit next year.
We loved this unit. Sitting on the balcony, you feel you are still on the beach. Just steps away, it takes seconds to get on the beach.

Thank you for your 5-star review! We agree that this location is perfect for accessing the beach and enjoying the beautiful view. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay, and we hope to see you again soon.
We had SUCH an amazing time! As soon as we walked in and saw the view, the kids just screamed. We were literally right on the water with the waves crashing -- such a soothing sound. Everything was very clean and in order. Management was very responsive --We did have a curtain rod come out of the wall in the bedroom while we were there, but one text message and someone showed up to re-install it! Very easy access with code entry. Really convenient to have stacking laundry in the kitchen closet -- it made it so easy to keep everything clean on our stay with all the sunblock and humidity. We really couldn't ask for better! Thanks for a great vacation!

Amazing stay! Very clean and cute place to stay. Make sure you are close with the family you stay with, only because it’s close quarters. Our kids had a blast, and the adults LOVED the balcony. ❤️
