The location of the property was great. It was 0.5 miles to the Kure Beach Pier and very close to Fort Fisher & the Southport Ferry. The place was very clean. Our host, LaNette, was great. She truly wants to make your stay a great one. I recommend booking.

Dreamers den was super clean. We needed nothing. The place is so well cared for, and the kitchen well stocked that we felt like we were renting someone’s personal home.

Pleasant Trip to Kure Beach

Very nice quiet beach with few people this time of year. The house was perfect for us, a retired couple with a small dog. The host was very accommodating and a good communicator. We loved sitting out on the deck to enjoy the waves. The back stairs had an easy-to-use dog gate.

Our visit to this property was a perfect get away. Dreamer’s Den is exceptional and LaNette is the perfect hostess. The property was just right for four adults and four legged friends. Well stocked with all the essentials. The bedrooms and bathrooms are roomy and nicely decorated. The deck is great for relaxing, ocean views, sunrises, naps, and puppies. We plan to return and highly recommend Dreamer’s Den.

Relaxing getaway

First of all the pictures don’t do this place justice! It’s more cozier in person. It’s cleaner than any place I have stayed. I usually have to clean when I get there and this was not the case. It felt like home. The beach is so convenient to get to. I love being able to just walk straight to the beach without having to take an elevator or big long stairs. You only have to go down a few steps and there is a direct pathway to the sandy beach. The beach itself is less crowded and plenty of space to set your things up no matter what time you go. The host keeps this house stocked with a lot of the necessities. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, dish soap, seasonings, cleaning supplies and even beach toys for the kids. It’s perfect and we will be returning. Definitely recommend bringing your family here. It was two adults and three children. Plenty of space without feeling crowded.

Attention to detail

The Host/Owner did an incredible job of providing everything we needed for our week at the beach. There were extra paper products, clean linens, towels, bath cloths, and many cooking condiments. The place was impeccably clean, and the location was ideal. The host recommended an excellent fresh seafood restaurant. We had an outstanding experience.

Dreamer's Den is the perfect description for this property. This was our first visit to the North Carolina coast & this property was perfect - it has it ALL. The home is inviting, comfortable, quiet, EXCEPTIONALLY clean & is steps away from beautiful Kure Beach. This area is rich with Civil War history with Fort Fisher about a mile down the road. In addition, there is a beautiful indoor aquarium nearby.Kure Beach/Carolina Beach are true gems and that includes the property host, LaNette. LaNette is a wonderful, friendly, amazing (and talented) host. She keeps the property well stocked with everything & has a gift for attention to detail. During our stay, she offered recommendations on places to visit & restaurants to try.This place is truly a peaceful, relaxing & beautiful sanctuary. We highly recommend.Thank you LaNette for the visit & sharing your beautiful home with us. We can't wait to see the outdoor kitchen table you were building. Until next time (which hopefully will be soon, Erik is ready to dive for more shark teeth - haha).Erik & Gina

Fantastic location and lovely cottage

Dreamer's Den has everything you need to have a wonderful time at the beach. Its location is fantastic, right on the water and minutes from the restaurants and shops in Kure and Carolina beaches. I stayed with my older parents, my husband and our little dog and we all felt so welcome. I love that there are two king bedrooms with comfortable mattresses, so no one had to climb up to a bunk bed or sleep on the couch. The host, LaNette lives right downstairs, so she's available if you need anything. But you won't because she has thought of everything. We would definitely stay here again.

Why they chose this property

Pleasure Island is a coastal barrier island in NC. It is just south of Wilmington, NC. The Cape Fear River is to the west with the Intercoastal Waterway in between. There is a small-town vibe here with so much to offer in interest of all.

What makes this property unique

One of the few cottage style home left along the island's oceanfront.
