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.

Beautiful Ocean Front Views

This condo was very comfortable. The views from the living room and decks cannot be beat. Easy access to the beach made it easy to run back to the unit for a snack, lunch or bathroom. Kitchen is well equiped. Beds were comfortable. Everything clean and nicely painted.

The view of the ocean was great. Easy beach access.

Nice location. Hard to find local restaurants for meal delivery. Middle bathroom tile was a little grungy and sink was very slow, Delay in water going down the drain in the sink. Very easy access to the pool. Enjoyed the stay but suggest a professional cleaning of tile or upgrad in middle Bathroom. Master bedroom bathroom was very nice.

5 Star All The Way

We enjoyed our stay so much! A fully furnished kitchen helped us to be able to have more time as a family and not having to leave the beach. We enjoyed the recreation center. Nice pool, jacuzzi, sauna, and bathroom. Very clean. All of this at a good and decent price. Possibly returning in the future.

Wait N Sea 2022

The location was great and beds were comfortable. The unit was clean, but a little TLC on a few minor things would be good. The sliding screen was broken when we arrived, and the electric can opener didn't work. Fortunately there was a manual one. Overall, though, I must say it was a very relaxing vacation and the views and location were wonderful. I would definitely visit this unit again.

After traveling 10 hours I didn’t expect to have to put sheets on 4 beds and make them. Arrived on thanksgiving and discovered there were no basic supples. 1roll of toilet paper for each bath only. No hand soap or body wash. No Kleenex or paper towels. Being a holiday nothing was opened. TV’s in each bedroom. No cable boxes for them. The one tv has a purple line across the middle of the screen. Wasn’t able to make or receive a phone calls from inside. We’re with T-Mobile. Pillows were flat. Had to sleep with the pillow shams under them. To prop them up. Who gifts you with a welcoming pumpkin pie and no whip cream? Went to empty the trash and discovered there were no replacement trash bags. We had to go purchase trash bags. We travel and stay in homes and condo’s several times a year. We have stayed here in Ocean Dunes for the last 6 years. This was the worst in just basic supples I’ve ever experienced. It wasn't the cost of buying them for me. It was the inconvenience and the thoughtlessness of the host. I’m 78. My husbands 82. We didn’t go on vacation to put sheets on 4 beds and shop for staples. Not to mention the bathtub was dangerously slippery and the sink in the bath filled up and took forever to drain. This property was not guest friendly or welcoming.. It has issues and highly over priced.

Roaches, Roaches, Roaches!!!

This was our worst stay in an Ocean Dunes property. We checked in on Day 1 and within an hour of being there, the resident roaches came out from the kitchen and were all over the counter and floors. These were NOT palmetto bugs! I know the difference. This place is infested. We reported the issue on the next morning and maintenance was sent over to spray behind the stove. Well, whatever maintenance is using does NOT work! The roaches were out again on the next day. We had to make sure we didn’t pack any of them and bring them back home on check out day! We all felt uneasy and like this place wasn’t clean. I could tell the cleaning crew only surface cleaned things. The bedside tables were dusty and dirty, the mattress protectors had stains on them, the dryer was left with bath mats and full of sand. We didn’t even want to use it to clean our clothes, because we would just be washing and drying them in sand. I have never had such a bad experience staying at Ocean Dunes. Seacoast Rentals dropped the ball here and clearly this property is not suitable for rental. I do NOT recommend staying here, unless you want to stay with roaches at a barely clean property.
