Adventure awaits.

Take a trip back in time at the Fort Fisher State Historic Site and Museum which features live oak-covered trails and bunkers from the American Civil War. Stroll through the marsh to visit the home of the famous Ft. Fisher Hermit. Or wind down with nature at our two state parks, sure to provide a memorable experience with hiking, fishing, and water activities such as paddle boarding and kayaking, and search for a Venus Flytrap which is native to NC only. As one of North Carolina's most undeveloped beaches, the island offers a unique opportunity to see many diverse coastal wildlife, including pelicans and loggerhead sea turtles, in their natural habitat. Whether it’s exploring activities on the island, enjoying the ocean views, or enjoying a cocktail by sunset from your own private balcony, Pleasure Island offers diversion for every enthusiast!

Explore the treasures of Carolina Beach, ranked one of the top 10 boardwalks in the country by Food & Wine magazine. One of the last remaining beach boardwalks on the East Coast, it includes a variety of restaurants, an arcade, shops, ice cream, Famous Britts Donuts, bars, and more! During the summer months, the Boardwalk is bustling with the sound of music, carnival rides, bingo, family nights, and events like the weekly fireworks and concert series. Rent a Jeep, bicycle, or golf cart as the most convenient ways to navigate the island. Annual off-season events include the Cape Fear Kite Festival, Christmas by the Sea, and the Island of Lights Festival.

We look forward to you visiting us!

"The location was perfect and wonderful easy walk to the beach. House is major need of some upgrades and some minor repairs such as fans and window blinds. Took a couple days to have AC repaired but were quick trying get it fixed. Needed a part. Lots of hot water for a group of 12. Very nice to be steps from the ocean and to see and hear it from the balcony. Kids loved playing games out on the deck. Spent off beach hours there.

Amazing beach house all to yourself right on a beach access

Vacation Date: April 5, 2021

"This place was so much better than some of the condos and hotels you can rent. It’s a whole two story house with 5 bedrooms. Great for multiple families. The best part is it is directly on a beach access. Even though it is on a beach access there is only parking for the 6 houses on the property. So not like it’s covered in public parking. Definitely a place to stay. Close to both Kure and Carolina Beach.

"This was a great place to stay on the beach! The location was great and quiet, great views of the ocean and it was a nice little stroll to the beach from the house! The sleeping arrangements were spot on for a large family and loved that each room had their own bathroom! The only complaint we had was the kitchen wasn’t stocked with and salt, pepper or spices. The baking pans were a little slim (but this could be due to the Covid-19 and not leaving things other guests had) the only other thing was the water in all but 2 bathrooms had an awful odor. Not sure what caused that so we only used 2 showers out of 5 the whole time we were there due to the smell. I LOVED that the owners had coffee cups made for the guest to take home. I took mine home and every time I use it I wish I was sitting out on the deck listening to the waves! We will definitely stay here again! Hopefully in the near future! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Response from Sea Coast Rentals:
Wow! Thank you for the 5 star review and thrilled you enjoyed your stay and enjoying your coffee mug! Our housekeeping team will assess the pots and pans and issue new one where needed. Maintenance will address the water odor in the bathrooms. We look forward to seeing you the next time you head to the beach!

"It is a great location. My family and friends love the house and the location. It was clean and the rooms are big too. The kitchen has almost everything you need, it was a little disorganized but I did manage to find things. We had so much fun the town has so much to do. When I booked this house for our vacation, I did not have any idea about the area. We vacationed in TopSail-NC before and I particularly did not like it. Nothing a lot to do over there. But Carolina Beach exceeds all my expectations. Thank you so much definately recommended the location and the House.

"4 STAR REVIEW- Clean, spacious family beach home. Windward was fabulous for the 10 of us (5 children and 5 adults) at our recent Carolina Beach stay. It was very clean and large enough for everyone to feel like they had their own space. The management company was great about letting us check in early and check out late (especially since we had a loooong drive from and back to Massachusetts!). They company was also receptive to feedback regarding some exposed screws on the deck. Loved that there were chairs, boogie boards and a grill to use while we were there. About a mile from the boardwalk, which felt long on some days, but it was great to get some walking in. The beach access was excellent and the 2 piers were great distances away to be able to walk to and get in more exercise. Loved the nearby lake also! Great for bike riding with the kids! We would definitely stay here again. For the price, the size of this house (5 bdroms & 6 bathrooms!) was amazing!!
