Pleasure Island Paradise - closest rental to the beach you will find

Wake up every morning to watch the sun rising over the ocean, dolphins playing in the waves right in front of you, waves crashing on the sand just feet from your deck and enjoying a cup of coffee in the your comfortable deck chairs. Enjoy the view of Fort Fisher State Recreation area and the amazing twisted live oak trees along the beach trail that starts right next to the condo. Take a walk down to the Fort Fisher Aquarium or the Fort Fisher Battlefield & Museum on the sound side of the island just across the street. For more adventure, rent a kayak to explore Zeke's Island Reserve just a mile or two down the road, or take the ferry to Southport for the day. If you are feeling lazy, enjoy your day at the beach right on the other side of your deck or lounge at the pool, but make sure you take time to explore the coquina rock outcrop at low tide and you might find some beautiful shells and fun sea life in the tide pools. These rocks are literally right on the beach outside The Riggings property. Don't forget all the great restaurants, shops, piers and boardwalk fun just down the Road in the heart of Kure Beach and Carolina Beach.

Gorgeous, newly remodeled 1 bedroom beach condo in The Riggings - Building 4 P1. This is a bottom floor oceanfront unit with tons of privacy since it faces Fort Fisher State Recreation Area next door and there are no neighbors on that side. We have equipped our home to a high standard and tried to anticipate your needs by providing all the things you might want for a luxurious stay. Our home has a single bedroom with a brand new king-sized bed with a memory foam mattress and luxurious linens. There are two twin bunks with privacy curtains and new memory foam mattresses in the hallway alcove that adults will find very comfortable and kids will have fun with. The deep seating couch in the living room has a very large over-sized queen sofa bed with a brand new memory foam mattress for maximum comfort.

Sleeping Arrangements: 1 King Bed (new memory foam), 2 twin bunks (with privacy curtains & new memory foam mattresses) and 1 over-sized queen sofa bed (new memory foam mattress)

You will find your kitchen well stocked with all the amenities you could ask for. There is a dishwasher, microwave, coffee pot, electric tea kettle, toaster, margarita machine, blender, food processor, rice cooker, hand mixer and more. You will find high end cookware, plenty of cooking utensils, dinnerware and drink ware for all the various types of drinks you could imagine. There is a large refrigerator with filtered water and ice, a large pantry to store additional food. The pantry and kitchen are already stocked with cooking oils, spices, coffee & tea, sugar, flour, condiments & dressings and more so you won't need to buy as much during your stay with us. There are plenty of baking dishes and sheets as well.

Both the living room and bedroom feature flat screen televisions with cable TV & Roku for streaming access to movies, Hulu with Showtime, Netflix, Network TV Streaming Apps, HBO and more. There is a DVD player in the living room as well in case you want to watch DVDs. You will find cards and games in the utility closet, along with beach chairs, sand toys, a hammock for the deck, pop-up beach shelter, an umbrella and more in the deck box outside. There are toys in the storage drawers under the bunk beds for the little ones too.

In the bathroom, you will find plenty of luxurious bath towels, along with oversized beach towels and extra linens in the closet. The bathroom has a bath tub/shower combo with a hand-held shower head to pull down and wash off your feet or your little ones coming in from the beach with sand. There is a washer & dryer in the alcove of the bathroom and we have provided detergent and fabric softener for you to use during your stay. The dispenser in the shower is stocked with argan oil shampoo & conditioner and luxurious body wash for you to use, and you will find cotton balls and Q-tips so there is no need to pack those. We have provided a hair dryer for your use as well and there is an iron and ironing board in the bedroom closet.

There is a ton of comfy seating in the condo with a super comfortable couch, two leather club chairs with ottomans to kick your feet up and relax and read a book, an over-sized chair and ottoman next to the deck doors to sit and watch the waves outside. The dining table has 4 chairs and a leaf to extend the table for more seating can be found in the bedroom closet. There are 3 adjustable bar stools that can be dropped down to sit at the table if you prefer not to eat at the bar. You will also find several nice deck chairs outside.

Our beach paradise has some smart features that will enhance your stay. The first one can be found at the front door with the smart lock that allows you in with a simple code, so there is no need to pick up keys or carry keys with you. The HVAC system is equipped with a smart thermostat and a touchscreen to adjust the temperature. This smart thermostat is equipped with Amazon Alexa and you can literally just ask "Alexa, lower the temperature to 70" or ask her for restaurants or places to see nearby. If you would like to enjoy some music while you are cooking or hanging out, simply ask Alexa to play some tunes for you.

You are going to love your stay here just as much as we do. All of your cares and stress will simply melt away once you arrive and you will find your days filled with plenty of fun in the sun!

Family friendly

As a big family we truely felt at home away from home. It was the small details for me. Not having to pack our chairs or tent or beach toys on top of our other things was a major plus for me. The view was BEAUTIFUL we loved watching the sunrise and being near fort fisher to go take a walk. The coquina rocks were also a beauty. Thank you for everything Alex & Colleen!!

My kids and I had an amazing stay. Everything was perfect. The hosts truly make it feel just like home. I especially appreciated the little “extras” they had (like sugar, k-cups, and qtips) so nice to not have to run back to the store when we forgot something. Thank you so much to our gracious hosts! We will be back!

Pleasure Island Paradise was phenomenal! The location is unmatched...ocean front, beautiful beach, beautiful scenery, and a short drive from the pier, resturants, and shopping! The pool was clean and well kept. Check in was flawless, the keypad with our own code was so easy to use and no fumbling to remember the code. The condo was well stocked with toiletries, towels, and kids stuff! We vacationed with a 1 yr old and a 6 year old, both had a great, safe time. The wildlife was wonderful. We spent every morning and every evening on the balcony. Our 6yo loved the high tide clock in the living room and was always telling us if it was high or low tide and when we needed to go look for shells and crabs. We highly recommend this spot to other beach goers! So much to do and see, we hope to come back next summer.

We have been coming to Kure Beach for about 15 years and have stayed in several different condos over that time. This condo is the cleanest, most comfortable and homey condo we have ever stayed in!! Views are remarkable!! Hope to stay here again next year!!

A perfect spot…

Honestly, even without the host’s thoughtful touches, this condo would’ve been amazing. The attention to detail is just a great bonus. You could not be closer to the ocean without being in the water. It’s a beautiful, quiet area perfect for taking a walk to enjoy nature.

The best place to stay in Kure Beach

My husband and I stayed here 11 years ago and it was great. The updates the owners have done are fabulous, they make sure to have everything you need to make your stay as comfortable as possible. They were very nice and timely with any questions i had. Will definitely be back. Hopefully just not so long this ti.e.

We needed a few days to just stop & recharge. Seeing the ocean and hearing the waves for a few days fit the bill. You really can’t get any closer to the water. The condo was just as described including all of the amenities and supplies. Pack your clothes and toothbrush and go!

Oceanfront

We were looking somewhere to celebrate our 31st anniversary that was easily accessible to the beach…we found it! You never needed to leave the deck to enjoy the beach, it was that close. The condo was very well equipped with everything you would ever need and more. Colleen was very responsive to a couple of issues that arose that were beyond her control. She drove 2 hours to replace a TV that wasn’t working. I couldn’t ask for more in her responsiveness! She is great!!

Perfect getaway!

We loved staying here! The house itself is nicely decorated, updated kitchen and appliances. Perfect size for our family of two kids and a baby! Absolutely loved the location of this unit in particular, easy beach access and loved sitting on the porch watching the sunrise. Will never be this close to oceanfront again! Note that during high tide the beach directly in frontof the unit is not useable, but wider beach is very very short walk. The pool was also great too. This was stocked with everything we needed and it was so convenient having the chairs, boogie boards, and even sand toys there for our use. It was very quiet, couldn't hear neighbors. We barely left the unit and loved every second. Wish we could keep it our own little secret but it's too good not to share! Thank you for letting us stay and make memories.
