About this property

Sunny days always inside and out…cheer of Christmas all around!

Christmas cheer 365 days a year With A short mile walk or ride to the sandy Carolina beach and boardwalk…you’ve now arrived to Pleasure Island. Our three bedroom and three bath home sleeps 6. One master suite downstairs with a king bed on main floor. There’s also another bedroom on main living floor with a full bed, and a large tv. On the second floor there is a queen suite which has a queen size bed, and a desk with a monitor, for all your viewing. There's also a 50” television. Queen suite also has an attached full bath. A theater room is also located on second floor, with 4 very comfy recliners, and 4 barstools for your convenience. First floor there’s a large open floor plan with living area, kitchen and a sit down bar. Laundry room also on main floor. This is the perfect spot for any weather. Whether it’s a trip to the beautiful beach, or pulling up a lounger poolside. If weather happens to not be cooperating….a perfect spot for cuddling up with a blanket and sipping hot cocoa in theater room. Plenty of yard for little ones to run and play. Maybe even a fire in the pit, after dinner. Full access to home, with exception of garage and attic. Large fenced in yard with parking spot for rv/boat. Saltwater (not heated)pool(11’x20’) though temperatures aren’t always cooperative…pool open all year long…to at least enjoy the view!

If you prefer to bring your own bed linens….$75 will be taking off the cleaning fee, for your convenience. Just mention this before checking in….so we’re able to make the cleaning lady aware. We so know you’ll thoroughly enjoy your stay here at “ChristmaSea” Santa’s favorite beach spot!

This was the best experience we’ve had when staying in someone’s else’s home. The owners have thought of everything someone would need in their vacation. This home is so beautiful and welcoming. The area is perfect. Super close to all the stores and beaches. My family is looking to returning next year.

Absolutely magical VRBO experience, the kids loved the Christmas decorations! The adults loved the fully stocked house. Didn't need to make a trip out immediately for essentials like we do in some VRBO's. The owner is incredibly responsive and attentive. will definitely return!

Wonderful place to stay

The home is perfect for a family getaway. The home is exactly as advertised. I was able to walk to the beach. My kids loved the Christmas decorations. Easy communication with property owner. We really enjoyed the pool and the movie room. The home is well stocked when we first arrived and we did not have to immediately go to the store. We will be back for sure.

So festive!

Our group consisted of me, my husband and 9 year old son, and my parents. We absolutely loved the Christmas decorations. It was so festive and fun. We celebrated Christmas in July with movies in the theater and lots of swimming. The outdoor lights were great and my son loved night swimming. The house had everything we could have needed. I definitely overpacked! I highly recommend this property. The host was super communicative and friendly. We are already thinking of visiting again.

Perfect for us...

We were looking for a 3bed - 3 bath home...There were two available at the time we booked. I knew the Christmas feel would appeal to a few in the group and decided to book this home. I'm really glad we did. The home, the pool, the location was everything we were hoping for. The Christmas feel doesn't overpower your senses after being in the home a while. In fact I kinda of enjoyed it as the week went on. The home was well stocked with everything you'd want for the week. We brought our bikes and it was an easy ride to the beach. Might have walked if it wasn't the middle of summer...If we ever get back to the area this home will be first place I'll look to rent.

10/10 Recommend to anyone who enjoys the magic of Christmas all year round!

We are from Ohio (about 10hrs away)- so of course we were exhausted by our drive down here but as soon as we opened the front door we knew this place was going to be incredible! The warm, ambient light and a welcoming Santa greeted us upon our arrival- just like we stepped into another beautiful and magical world- this was a perfect way to start our vacation! The decorations really brought back the joy of celebrating Christmas with our families back home and memories of those who are no longer with us here in the physical world. I’ve never felt more at home in someone else’s place- than being at my own home. We were so appreciative of the welcome book with easy navigation of rules and recommendations for our stay. Dan and MJ were incredible hosts and the added details throughout the home to welcome us really added an extra level of magic to our experience here. I honestly don’t think there are enough words to describe the feeling of warmth, coziness, magic and happiness that we experienced on this trip! We cannot thank y’all enough for creating such a wonderful place to make memories with the people e we love! We are so very fortunate to have come across your page on VRBO- for sure this place has been the cherry on top for this vacation! We hope to be back soon! PS thank you for the restaurant recommendations- my hubby and I loved Fentoni’s pizzeria and Michael’s Seafood!
