Great spot by the beach

This was a perfect spot for me and my husband. The home is clean and cozy and the beach access is right there. It’s south of the boardwalk, so about a 25 min walk, which is totally doable. Overall very happy and would recommend.

Charming and cozy studio apartment with nice amenities. New linens and plush towels too. Very cute and comfortable. There are two beach accesses very close to the property. It is right on the street so expect some car noise, we were there during a nor’easter so traffic was light. We enjoyed our stay in this former barracks building.

Well-located and quaint!

Exactly what my wife and I needed for a quick beach weekend. Perfectly located, cozy and comfortable, and excellent communication. Other than the shower being a liiiittle tight for a big guy, it was everything we needed it to be. Would definitely stay here again - right across the street from a beach access and a number of great walkable restaurants.

We arrived a little after 3 and got in to the property very easily. Lierin was very responsive and always answered any questions that we had about the property leading up to us coming to stay.

Why they chose this property

This historic property came about in trying to preserve this little piece of Pleasure Island. As it was an actual functioning Barrack at Fort Fisher during WWII, it then was sold off and transported to its current location in 1942. Redone to provide a beautiful and peaceful stay across from the beach, its roots are still grounded in this amazing little island that brings so many families and friends to make memories each year.

What makes this property unique

Great Patio with peak-a-boo ocean views provides the perfect place to enjoy the outdoors before or after your day at the beach. induction cook top makes this "hotel room" more functional than you can imagine!
