Recent Pleasure Island, NC guest reviews

The cottage was fully stocked and the proximity to the Kure beach pier and beach access was great
Robert P. | Oct 2025
We loved staying here and the location was perfect for us. The door locks were a little confusing at first but we got it figured out. The home was well stocked with essentials and even had a nice assortment of spices and beach toys. We will stay here again
Brian A. | Oct 2025
Very Cozy place with a view of the ocean. Very clean and highly recommend.
