Recent Pleasure Island, NC guest reviews

Our family of 8 really enjoyed our time at Salty Escape! We had an infant up to a great grandmother and everyone was comfortable and liked the layout, location and all that was provided by the home. The kitchen was well stocked which was nice since we ate most of our meals in. Loved the short walk to the beach and the beach items that were supplied by the hosts. The wagon and toys were a plus for the 2 and 4 year olds! We would definitely stay here again!

This darling beach house was very spacious and stocked extremely well to get you started, and the location is close to everything! You can walk down the street to get a golf cart and walk to restaurants and attractions. I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to stay at Carolina Beach!
