April Get-a-way

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.

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.

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.

Best vacation rental for couples

The pictures did not do it justice. This was by far the nicest rental I have ever stayed in . The view was amazing. The beach was amazing and the host was super accommodating and wanted us to feel We were on a resort vacation. Kudos to Lynette.

Great beach house!

Really enjoyed Dreamer's Den. Host has everything you need there and more. Direct access to beach via boardwalk. Used propane grill for outdoor cooking and ate on back deck. Outdoor shower for use after ocean swims a nice feature. Very comfortable accommodations, including for our small dog. We would definitely go back.

Quick Trip

The location was ideal - just over 1/2 mile from Kure Beach pier. The beach itself was not crowded since the closest public access was a few houses down. The home itself was clean, comfortable and just as described. I definitely recommend!

Fabulous

My girlfriend and I were very pleased with the property. The host was on top of everything, she was very attentive & accommodating. The location was perfect with a quick walk to all Kure beach pier restaurants and the mini mart. Everything was very clean and the unit was very doggie-welcome with a pet gate up top & a gated dog yard below. Definitely recommend staying here!

About the host

Host profile image

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.
