Located on the quiet southern end of Pleasure Island, our condo is perfect for the family or couple who enjoy peaceful evenings on the porch looking out at the ocean, with a lot of nearby attractions and excursions year-round. The condo is part of the Ocean Dunes community, which occupies one mile of beachfront with several private beach walkways and resort-like amenities that guests can use for free, including 3 outdoor pools, an indoor pool and hot tub, saunas, a common room, fitness center, 3 tennis courts, shuffleboard, basketball court, picnic area with grills, playground, and outdoor showers.

Located close to the Fort Fisher Aquarium, Fort Fisher Historical Site, and Fort Fisher Ferry to Southport makes day outings convenient. There are also many activities and attractions in the small town of Kure Beach, and Carolina Beach is only a short drive away. Enjoy great restaurants, live music, fireworks, outdoor movies at the lake, the Carolina Beach boardwalk with an arcade, Ferris wheel, shops, ice cream, Famous Britts Donuts, bars, and more.

Two nearby state parks offer hiking, fishing, and water activities like paddle boarding and kayaking. You are also only 30 minutes from Wilmington and the downtown Cape Fear riverfront area, which offers a wide variety of restaurants, shopping, and sightseeing.

Our condo is also right next to the rare coquina rocks along the shoreline, which you can see well during low tide. These mounds of seashell and limestone form tiny pools and puddles of water and are home to all kinds of interesting sea life. They are the only naturally occurring rocky formation in North Carolina and are a fascinating and rare natural wonder. They are also slippery, so be careful!

There are plenty of activities in the off-season as well, like the Cape Fear Kite Festival, Christmas by the Sea, and the Island of Lights Festival.

This is an ideal vacation spot any time of year, so we know you’ll enjoy your stay in this slice of oceanfront paradise!

Perfectly quiet getaway
We returned to this beachfront spot because it's at the quiet end of the beach and gets tons of sun on the two decks. Catching rays even in the fall and walking an almost-deserted beach is our kind of fun.

Exactly as it looks.
The place is spacious and clean. The ocean is literally 50 feet from the balcony and, at high tide, about 10 feet. Some complained about the lack of a beach, but I loved being this close with a spectacular view. There is plenty of room to sit or sunbathe. The only drawback of our stay and it was unrelated to the condo is many places, especially in Carolina Beach, were closed due to the historic flooding a week before. Also, internet and cell coverage was poor across the whole Island due to the flood. I suspect this will be fixed soon. Anyway, you don't go to the beach to be on the internet. Otherwise, the place looks like it does in the pics and I would go back again.

Ocean Front at its finest
The views from this oceanfront home were phenomenal! The end unit was very quiet, and we really enjoyed sitting out on the porches and watching the ocean in the morning and afternoon. We did not have issues with finding a place to sit on the beach, although as other reviewers noted there isn't a large beach in front of the home. The owner was super responsive, and offered to change the door code to a number of our choosing after we arrived, which was super convenient for families with kids that will want to come in/out of the house throughout the day. The house furnishings and interior were more dated than we expected from the listing pictures, but overall the house was clean upon our arrival and the kitchen was well stocked with supplies. The only major issues we encountered was first having difficulty maneuvering our large SUV into the garage bay due to the deck from the row of units in front of this home and overhang from the front porch creating a tight space. Luckily we only had one vehicle, but for those with multiple large vehicles this would have been super challenging if not impossible. Second, the beach access stairs were covered with sand drift so we had to literally slide down the steep hill to access the beach. This would have been challenging with families with elderly members or small children.

My family of four had the best vacation to Kure beach. The location of the condo was perfect. Literally on the beach with the best beach views we have ever had in an oceanfront condo. We really enjoyed the quietness of the beach and how uncrowded it was. The condo was cleaned extremely well and fully equipped with everything we needed for a successful week vacation at the beach. We will definitely be booking here again!

Perfect beach vacation spot!
The location of this beach condo is just perfect for quick beach access. We loved using the two porches for lunch, tanning or reading. Everything we needed was in the condo, especially a well-outfitted kitchen that made cooking a breeze. Great shower head pressure for those sandy bodies and lots of beach chairs and toys in a handy location. We'll be back!

Weekday getaway
We enjoyed being at Kure Beach. The location of the property is down near the end where sandbags are needed to deter the encroaching surf. There wasn't much beach to walk on as the water comes up kind of close to the condo. We didn't enjoy that part of our visit. The condo itself was very clean, neat and well supplied. No complaints there. The interior furnishings were a bit dated. Everything worked well and the property manager was very responsive and helpful. Next time we go, we will probably want to stay closer to the middle part of Kure Beach where there is more walkable beach area.

Couldn't have a better location.
Wow, if you want to be a stone throw away from the ocean, this is the place to be. The view from both decks are amazing. You can watch the sunrise and sunset and enjoy a glass of wine at the same time. We also did a lot of walking. Very short walk to Ft. Fisher where we could walk on their boardwalk by the ocean. It was very nice. Steve was a great host. Any issues, he was right there to take care of them. Very nice getaway.
