Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Pleasure Island

We can wait to come back! Our most favorite AirBNB in Carolina Beach yet. We love everything about this place!

We loved everything about the home and location. The pool table and river brought a lot of laughs and memories made. The hosts were helpful and very responsive. We had an amazing time and thankful for the opportunity to stay in this beautiful home.

Our stay at Paula’s home was everything we hoped for! Very clean, well laid out, and a perfect location for us 6 adults. We walked to town every day, it was very convenient. Paula was super organized and responsive. We absolutely would book this Airbnb again!

We had a wonderful stay at this home for a special family celebration! The house was even more spacious than it appeared in the photos, with plenty of room for our group of adults and young children to relax and enjoy. The short walk to the beach access made it super convenient, and the location was ideal for everything we needed. Matthew was an outstanding host—responsive, helpful, and thoughtful. He went above and beyond to make sure the house was equipped with everything we needed, and when a small issue came up, he responded quickly with helpful solutions. We’d absolutely book again and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-managed Carolina/Kure beach getaway!

This air bnb was great for our stay. The house itself was awesome and the beds were really comfortable. The neighborhood was fine driving distance to all things, but did not feel the safest walking home at night. All in all it was a good place to stay and the house itself had everything you could need when staying away from home. Kyler was quick to respond when our lock code wasn't working, and we had the problem solved in less than 5 minutes, so that was much appreciated.

Our stay was great! The house had everything you need. The place was clean and most importantly the beds were comfortable. There was a toys outside for the kids and a fire pit for the adults. The house was private but just a few minutes from a main road and about 15 minutes from the Carolina beach. Definitely would stay here again

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Christine’s home. It was perfect for a family gathering (6 adults and a baby). Christine also provided a pack and play for the baby! We would definitely stay here again.

Highly recommend!!! Kristen was such a wonderful host and the property was absolutely beautiful :) Kristen was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed and was easily assessable. We had no issues! Everything was perfect and exactly what was listed. Super clean and charming. The house had all the amenities you could possibly think of. Would defiantly stay again. Great location. Def 5 star property

Very nice place to stay! Would def stay again. Private and perfectly located in safe neighborhood.

Melissa has been fabulous! The space is perfect for a Wilmington stay. It’s a quick 10 minute drive to the beach! I would recommend it to anyone looking to visit the area.

Our stay was just the getaway we needed! Lary’s place was extremely clean and comfortable! the outdoor space and landscaping were spectacular, it felt like being at a resort. the neighborhood was quite and relaxing, however not walkable to town as there are not many side walks. definitely rent a bike or a golf cart!

Staying at this beautiful Airbnb overlooking the Cape Fear River was delightful! From the moment we booked, the communication was flawless—responsive, friendly, and the guidebook was incredibly helpful. Every question we may have had was answered. The host went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome and prepared for our trip. What really sets this stay apart is the impeccable attention to detail. From the cozy, well-appointed decor to the thoughtful touches everything was clearly chosen with care and intention. You can tell the host genuinely wants guests to have the best possible experience. This Airbnb is the perfect balance of luxury, comfort, and convenience. We’re already planning our next visit.

This Airbnb has so much charm and character! The kitchen was stocked with all the spices and condiments we needed, especially for cooking seafood. There are so many little activities included. For example; a sound system, card games, and outdoor equipment (chairs, skim board, shovel). Sam is a wonderful host, very attentive. One evening, a small situation came up and he responded to our message immediately. In fact, he showed up to help at 11 pm! We truly enjoyed our stay. Wrightsville is such a special place. I highly recommend staying here if you are ever in town!

This condo provided a great stay for my family in Carolina Beach. the neighborhood was quiet and had very close beach access. With just a short drive to the boardwalk it proved to be a great location. The condo was spacious and clean. The instructions provided by Jody were easy to follow.

We booked for a weekend trip to explore Wilmington and have a get away! Our trip was great as the airbnb was conveniently minutes to downtown, Ubers were easy to book. We plan on staying here yearly! It’s so nice to find great hosts who were very accommodating and responsive.

Outstanding location. Easy access to Topsail and Wilmington. Beautiful layout and will return. Everything you needed or possibly wanted was there. Extremely friendly.

We had such a lovely time staying at this property in Carolina Beach! The home was beautiful, clean, and bigger than expected. It was so peaceful waking up and having coffee overlooking the ocean! We loved the private boardwalk to the beach - which was such a short distance and perfect with two littles (especially when we forgot something or it was naptime). The elevator was a hug plus with strollers. This is the type of rental we’d come back to year after year! Thank you!

John and his co-hosts were amazing! Immediately upon arrival we were welcomed as family. They really went above and beyond in every aspect. The place was cleaned to perfection and there was so much to do! We were able to schedule an animal tour the same day, grill outside using their supplies and really relax as much as possible. Our room featured a private balcony and bathroom, but really the entire property should be highlighted. The hosts recommended beaches and restaurants for us to enjoy, and as we were checking out, John let us know that he was preparing breakfast for us as well! We were able to leave this amazing place with a full belly, homegrown fruits and veggies, eggs, and great memories. We will be back to visit for sure. Thanks again John B., John M, and Diana.

Words can’t express how much I enjoyed staying at John’s place. It was an amazing experience we will NEVER forget. It was by far my favorite bnb and I’ve stayed at a couple of Airbnbs. It’s close to the beach but it didn’t really matter because we wanted to spend all our time on his property. It was clean and there’s a ton of rooms in the villa! It is decorated so nice and the exotic animal farm he has is amazing! We stayed during the 4th of July and he had food waiting for us in their beautiful outside kitchen when we got back! You won’t want to leave the property. The pool was great and the rooms and bathrooms are so clean! I can’t wait to stay at their place again! I loved every second and they were all extremely responsive. They had fresh eggs and tomatoes that I brought home. Book your stay! You won’t regret it.

I decided last minute that I needed a getaway with some relaxation and an stress-free time. John’s place popped up to the top of the results list. I had never booked anything where you shared space but I decided to give it a try because of the good reviews and the fact that my husband’s name was John. I just felt like it was ok and safe. I’m glad I decided to try it. Both John’s and Diana were super sweet and so helpful.The house is beautiful.The rooms have top of the line bedding and beautiful decor. The kitchen was stocked with some food and John cooked several times for people. I’ve never had that at a place before so that was so helpful on saving some money with eating out. Plus they had garden tomatoes so I enjoyed like 10 tomato sandwiches.The animal tour was so cool. It was amazing to me to see how many animals , especially birds. It was really impressive; feeding the lemurs lollipops & holding the baby wallaby, Casper, was really cool.i highly recommend!! I will be back. Thanks

Honestly an amazing experience, even when you see the price you get the experience to match, in the best of ways. An amazing room with a fantastic shower and John was extremely friendly the entire time! There was a great welcome book with clear instructions. we had a great breakfast with farm fresh eggs provided by the host. The animals were beautiful and we loved the tour that was included.
