About this Property

• Sleeps 8
• 2 Bedrooms
• 1 Bathrooms
• Condo
• Approximately 1650 square feet

1650 SF condo with 2 assigned parking spots. SPACIOUS living area, kitchen and dining! Extra-sizable private balcony, ideal for keeping your beach stuff outside & safe. Great view of Lakeside events (ie. movies, bands, etc.) and the Christmas parade from your balcony!

Sleeps 6 in beds. Bedroom #1 has TWO queen beds, w/balcony access. Bedroom #2 (kids room) has a full size bed.

The unit comes equipped with a full-size washer & dryer, and a cavernous balcony with a view of the Carolina Beach Lake. This ideal location makes it painless to walk anywhere in a few mins., which saves on parking costs! Beach access, shopping, dining, recreation/bicycle units, (including beach wheelchairs) are all within about a block.

Free parking for 2 cars on the property (note, it's a little tight to fit two full size trucks, just FYI; there is an adjacent paid parking lot that currently charges $25 per day that also accepts for use of any "Town" parking lot on the Island). There is also one complimentary visitor spot but it's first come first served; therefore, not guaranteed. But plenty of options nonetheless!

With a south facing balcony, so long as the sun is out, you can relax and take in some rays any time of the day! You'll have some lake vistas and plenty of people watching to do during the busy season. Smell the burgers grilling, hear the sounds of vacation fun all around you! Walk back inside and savor the same vistas from your great room with three huge windows on 2 sides of your unit. You'll have the best seats in the home for Movies At The Lake (during season), and the Christmas tree lighting & the nighttime-time Carolina Beach Christmas parade (not to mention a view of the fireworks from your LR window and a peek at the beach ball drop on New Years Eve). No worries about finding a parking spot for any of these events because you're already there! And it's a walk in the park (literally) as you walk through the Saturday farmers/flea market and many other lakeside events and celebrations (May.-Oct). Carolina Beach Lake also has a paved walking/cycling trail, a walking story book, swing set, pavilion, picnic tables, charcoal grille, lookout sitting areas, and paddle boats.

And did we forget to mention that vast blue body of salt water that is only about 250 steps away?????????

Carolina Beach features a freshly modernized and colorful modest-town style boardwalk and walking strip with various unique stores, souvenir shoppes, eateries &, bars; as well as a close by event boat, boat launch, beach units, regatta and amusement park (during season). Down the road a bit is Kure Beach (and KB pier), the NC Aquarium, Fort Fisher (and FF history museum), and ferry boat access to the cozy town of Southport (where scenes from films such as Safe Haven, A Walk to Remember, I Know What you Did Last Summer and Dawson's Creek were filmed).

Skip the pitstop to the big chain coffee stores as you pass through Wilmington on your way to the beach because CB offers you 6 locally owned coffee stores to choose from (4 within walking distance). Want a "Friends" style coffee shop experience? Check out Majik Beanz. Want to try some creatively crazy good donuts with your "Carolina Sand" latte? Visit Wake-n-Bake (next to the Food Lion). Want to check out a hidden gem with locally roasted coffee beans and the best bacon-egg-cheese on brioche? Then hit up the North End Café. There are also 2 trendy coffee stores near the boardwalk (Mamala [great healthy fresh food choices too] and Crush & Grind (premium coffee, wine & craft beer). 2023 brings yet another extraordinary coffee shop (The Vault), this one with a enormous selection of wines and craft brews, and a drive-thru!

And you'll have too many eateries of many cuisines to choose from! Besides tons of great seafood choices, you'll also have plenty of Irish Pubs, Mexican, Italian, Indian, Chinese, Thai, burger & pizza joints, diners & local breweries to keep you wondering where to eat. The best ice cream (Squiggly's) on the island is 2 buildings away (we've had guests take an evening stroll for ice cream with their PJ's on). And be sure to check out Unique Boutique which has some interesting ladies apparel (also just a few steps up the street, opposite Squiggly's.)

Also on the island, you will find some of your well known chain stores and fast food joints (such as CVS, Walgreens, Dollar General (the nicest DG this side of I-95 in our opinion), Subway, Bojangles, Jimmy Johns, McDonalds, Hardees, 2 grocery stores (Food Lion and Publix) just to name a few. If you're in need of health and wellness services, there is an urgent care facility, and a few massage & hair/nail salons on the island. Although we appreciate Wilmington, there really is no need to go back OTB (over the bridge) once you've arrived on Pleasure Island!

Some "must-try," "must-do" or "must see before you leave" places to check out before you head back OTB are Britt's Famous Donuts on the boardwalk (established 1939), the Fat Pelican (voted #1 Dive bar in NC and #25 in the nation), Fort Fisher, the NC Aquarium, and definitely the ferry boat to Southport! But of course... since your condo is next door to the Hang Ten Grille; a fast bite to eat is always only a few steps away!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read through this description. If you've made it this far, then we hope you will take the next step and message us for more information or book directly via the Vacation Rental By Owner app or Vacation Rental By Owner partner booking site. ????

Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.

• Did you have a excellent stay? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
