"Carolina's Ocean Playground" AKA Driftwood Villas B11 managed by Dale and Salt Water Real Estate may be just the home away from home you are looking for! "Carolina's Ocean Playground" is a 2nd floor cozy condo that's just steps from our sandy shores, set in Down Town CB, and all the sea sights, sounds and experiences you are looking for! Pleasure Island (Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, and Fort Fisher) has become a RAPIDLY increasing vacation (and full-time!) destination for the East coast and beyond for many reasons. It’s a family-oriented beach with a touch of everything one might be looking for! It’s an AMAZING place to visit, live and never leave! The suite is in the heart of Down Town Carolina Beach and everything that is has to offer. In Carolina Beach you’ve got the boardwalk, restaurants, and local shops of all kinds. If you like adventures, the marina is also there where you can take an offshore fishing trip, diving excursion, or party boat out for a sunset sail. Camping more your thing? Bring the 4X4 and drive (and camp) on the beach at Freeman Park, located on the North End of the island. You can also head down to Kure Beach and fish directly off their fishing pier compete with bait, tackles, and more! The Carolina Beach Lake is nearby, hosting a weekly Farmer’s Market every Saturday, and FIREWORKS every Thursday! The entry to this 1 bedroom/1.5 bath suite opens up into a large, newly furnished family room combined with an open dining area and modern kitchen. A few of the amenities provided by your Owners include courtesy organic soap/shampoo/conditioner and lotion that are left in the full bathroom. Also, a roll of TP in each bathroom, 1 roll of PT in the kitchen, 2 garbage bags per garbage, laundry pods, dishwasher pods, dryer sheets, hand soap, dish soap and a sponge. Additional items are likely on site as well! There's ONE QUEEN bed and a comfy double pullout on site because we want all of our guests to be comfortable when it comes time to recharge. There are multiple Smart WIFI TV's along with a WIFI computer connection for when it's time to sit back and enjoy some movies or shows after a long day at the beach! Bring a Fire Stick, Apple TV, Laptop w/ HDMI cable or other such casting device if looking to ensure all of the tech comforts from home are available during your stay! The get-a-way shares an array of books, games, and misc. accessories to help cover the basis for our guests to enjoy themselves in rain or shine. Sometimes however, these items are removed from the suite and not replaced and we do not realize it (tsk tsk!). If you notice something we’ve bragged about missing please let us know! The SUITE: Guests have full access to their own private SUITE (never shared) along with a respective deck, patio, or balcony. •The POOL: The pool and its amenities are privately shared by residents and guests. \*\*\*OPEN!\*\*\* Outdoor STORAGE: A key iso left to provide outdoor storage access during your adventure! A $100 replacement fee will be assessed by the HOA if the key isn't left in your suite at departure. PARKING: Each reservation will have access to (1) ONE un-assigned parking space (use your parking pass to avoid a TOW). \*A $100 replacement fee will be assessed by the HOA if the pass isn't left in your suite at departure. •Closest BEACH access: Hamlet Public Beach Access (Hamlet Ave). I will be available for check-in and general assistance until 8PM EST. Anything with the exception of an emergency (ie. flood, fire, or another \*safety\* related risk sent to Maintenance) will be responded to ASAP the following day :) Pleasure Island is a coastal barrier island in Southeastern North Carolina, USA just south of the City of Wilmington. Pleasure Island is located within Federal Point Township, in New Hanover County. The coastal resort towns of Carolina Beach and Kure Beach, as well as the annexed communities of Wilmington Beach and Hanby Beach are located on the island. The building itself under three blocks from the nearest beach access. The property is on the fringe of down town Carolina Beach with its shops, activities and dining and is equidistant to the smaller, but just as charming Down Town Kure Beach. There are fireworks during the summer every Thursday night and local fairs around the lake each Saturday morning. Carolina Beach is a mix of friendly locals, snowbirds, and vacationers all looking to escape the inland and enjoy the sand, surf, and atmosphere. We truly have an amazing community! Carolina Beach and the surrounding neighborhoods offer an array of sights and activities to enjoy while here. Some of these examples are (but not limited to) a subtle beach hike through Carolina Beach State Park, Fishing on the Kure Beach Pier, kayaking to one of the many islands surrounding the Intracoastal Waterway, watching canons blast during a historical reenactment at the Fort Fisher State Historic Site, or petting some Sting Rays at the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher. This doesn’t even include the aweing scenery of Airlie Gardens, and our very own battleship (USS NC) in Wilmington! Perhaps more relaxing and less “adventure” is your speed? Our own local Brewery (Good Hops) along with a round of Frisbee golf may be what the doctor ordered! There isn’t anywhere or anything on our Island that isn’t accessible with foot power. Downtown Carolina Beach has a number of vendors (such as Pleasure Island Rentals @ 2 N Lake Park Blvd Carolina Beach NC 28428 (golf carts) and Tony Silvagni’s Surf School @ 107 Charlotte ave Carolina Beach NC 28428 (bicycles, paddleboards, surfboards, kayaks) for rent as an alternative to walking or driving. Taxi’s (local golf cart taxi’s) and Uber’s are also generally available for an assist when needed as well throughout the island! You can catch a Ferry to Southport in Kure Beach @ 2422 Fort Fisher Blvd S Kure Beach which leads to another ferry to Bald Head Island where NO CARS are allowed at all! After all, you won’t catch many locals going OTB! (Over The Bridge). Everything you need is right here! •Salt Water Real Estate has partnered with the absolute best vendors our Island has to offer to help ensure guests can spend more time enjoying themselves and less time researching! Our partners include the Tony Silvagni Surf School for professional surf lessons, bicycle, umbrella and chair rentals, Hot Ticket Fishing Charters, Salty Dog Yoga, Amy’s Rise N Shine, and Griffin Cleaning and linens.
