Holiday rentals with a kayak in Pleasure Island

Highly recommend! We LOVED staying here. Location was perfect. Everything about this home was amazing. So charming, safe and CLEAN. You will not be disappointed in your decision to stay here!

We enjoyed our stay over spring break. The arcade and game room were enjoyed by all. There were plenty of places to sleep our family of eleven. We loved the location and the ability to bike to several places including the beach.

Exceeded our expectations! This home was indeed a "home away from home", that provided everything needed for our stay. The host thought of everything. The beautiful home was supplied with all essentials for a wonderful getaway. The pool and hot tub was an added bonus. The neighbors were so friendly and personable. Having the beach within walking distance was the cherry on top. I appreciate Jessica being available when needed. We will definitely be back!

Monica's place was great, and Monica is super friendly! I love an old home and this one is super cute! It was clean, and the beds were so comfy. If we are ever in Wilmington in the future, I would definitely book Monica's place again.

Can't say enough about this BnB! We travel a whole lot and often with our pups. This place was perfect for relaxing at the beach with our dogs - it's fenced and clearly set up for furbabies - even an extra leash and poop bags as well as a ball and some bowls. Many beach places smell a little due to moisture and this place did not at all! It is well laid out for multiple guests too. The labeled kitchen supplies were awesome and everything was in order and made sense. We loved relaxing on the deck overlooking the canal, the extremely short walk to the beach, the very comfy couches and having a general store so close. The hosts were responsive and helpful. Definitely 5 stars! We love a place that is privately owned vs owned by a corporate company and we could tell this beach home is well cherished. Thank you for sharing it with us!!

The place was perfect in every aspect: The location, size, accommodations, amenities, and proximity to the areas we frequented. For our tennis group, the total cost was less than what a hotel would have cost, which is historically where we used to stay. This experience, summarized by our ability to share one place, travel together, have meals together, watch TV together, and have the large space to spread out was absolutely fantastic. The experience was positive any which way you look at it. On top of that, Jana (and her husband) were super hosts with super friendly communication. We wish we had the opportunity to meet them in person, but..............maybe this time next year :-).

A really lovely 3rd floor apartment with nice views of the marshland behind and a sliver of view toward the water in the other direction. Nicely furnished, very comfortable--just a really enjoyable space to be in. As several other reviewers mentioned, there's an elementary school right in back so you do hear children playing from time to time during the day. Otherwise, the neighborhood is very quiet and the pretty residential street has hardly any cars going by. The beach is a pleasant 12-15 minute walk. There are a handful of cafes and restaurants within easy walking distance and many more within a short drive. I loved this place!

My family and I stayed here in April and really enjoyed our time near the intercoastal waterway and the beach. In particular, we enjoyed the access to the kayaks. It was only a 6-min walk to the beach. One side of the house is next to the main road, so you may want to put your light sleepers in bedroom that does not face the road. We were there in off-season, so the noise was not bad. The house has lots of space and areas to hang out and relax. We really enjoyed it here and would stay again.

Second time staying here, and we still love the lovely house, the location, the views of the canal and OIB. Plenty of space for our 6 member family, close to beach (3 minute walk), private canal pier. Highly recommend, just make sure to pack toiletries and linens!

This is a beautiful home. We really enjoyed our stay. This home is in a beautiful neighborhood. Everyone was very friendly. Short walk to the beach and canal. Golf cart is definitely worth having as everything you would want to do is just a short ride and offers free parking. Home is equipped with everything you would need. Very clean and private. Great if you have kids. Homeowner is great as he always responded quickly to any questions I had prior to our arrival. Once you are there, the detailed instructions provided will guarantee a great stay. Definitely recommend and hope to return again.

We loved our stay here! Such a cute and comfy cottage, perfect for a beach trip; it comes stocked with pretty much everything you could ask for. Loved that it was walking distance to so many shops and restaurants, as well as beach access points, while also being tucked away down the street for a peaceful and quiet night's sleep. Todd was an excellent host as well, very friendly and responsive. Thanks so much!!!

This cozy cottage was exactly what my daughter and I needed for a weekend away in a secluded setting on their property. Charlene was a gracious host and the amenities in this cozy cottage were impeccable! It was super inviting, modern, and had all the things that you needed including very appreciated basket of snacks upon arrival. My daughter and I really enjoyed using the gym next-door and then headed out toward Wrightsville Beach the next day. We enjoyed the fire pit at night with provided firewood on the cute patio with the string lights and peaceful sounds of nature. Grocery stores were easily 5 to 10 minutes away and Wilmington was a good 15-20 minute ride. Topsail was 25 minutes in the other direction and we loved visiting there as well. The property is huge and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful cottage! Great stay overall!

We had a great long weekend stay. The house exceeded our expectations, was spacious and the views were incredible. Only a half mile drive to the bridge leading to the surf city pier.

We had the best time at Mike's place. It smelled so fresh and clean when we walked in. My kids LOVED the place! My youngest (6) loved the toys and games. We loved walking down to the dock and fishing. This was a very last minute booking. We were staying at Myrtle and decided the morning of check out to drive down to OKI and spend a few days. OKI is like our 2nd home. I got on AirBNB and found Mikes place. Mike was super quick to respond and even let us check in a little early. He checked on us throughout our stay and made sure things were ok. Awesome host, house and vacation spot! We will definitely be back!

This place was even better than the pictures! The ceilings are so tall and the floor plan is so open that it just feels so spacious from the moment you walk inside. The neighborhood was friendly and quiet, and we walked several times to food/coffee/activities downtown. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

It was very cozy and peaceful. The cottage was so cute and made me feel like I was at the beach. with her beautiful decor. I would recommend this place. The owner was very friendly and responsive to my questions.
