Things to do:

Adventure awaits.

Take a trip back in time at the Fort Fisher State Historic Site and Museum which features live oak covered trails and bunkers from the American Civil War. Stroll through the marsh to visit the home of the famous Ft. Fisher Hermit. Or wind down with nature at our two state parks, sure to provide a memorable experience with hiking, fishing, and water activities such as paddle boarding and kayaking and search for a Venus Flytrap which is native to NC only. As one of North Carolina's most undeveloped beaches, the island offers a unique opportunity to see many diverse coastal wildlife, including pelicans and loggerhead sea turtles, in their natural habitat. Whether it’s exploring activities on the island, enjoying the ocean views, or enjoying a cocktail by sunset from your own private balcony, Pleasure Island offers diversion for every enthusiast!

Explore the treasures of Carolina Beach, ranked one of the top 10 boardwalks in the country by Food & Wine magazine. One of the last remaining beach boardwalks on the East Coast, it includes a variety of restaurants, arcade, shops, ice cream, Famous Britts Donuts, bars, and more! During the summer months, the Boardwalk is bustling with the sound of music, carnival rides, bingo, family nights, and events like the weekly fireworks and concert series. Rent a Jeep, bicycle, or golf cart as the most convenient ways to navigate the island. Annual off- season events include the Cape Fear Kite Festival, Christmas by the Sea, and the Island of Lights Festival.

We look forward to you visiting us!

lack of maintenance
Location perfect, view perfect, but I requested a tree be trimmed hit my new car everytime I entered and exited the parking area, I was told it would be done but never was path to beach not maintained truly a tripping hazard This house has great bones but was not as clean as it should be ceiling fans were nasty baseboards not wiped down and under the beds were not clean....overall maintenance of this little house is lacking and it is a shame because it is a great house that needs TLC neighboring homes are getting more maintenance it is very evident by just comparing the outside of each property oh and a rat was seen on the deck, and it is due to overgrown landscaping parking area didn't look it has been swept in a long time....

Adequate no frills beach house
The house itself was more spacious than it looked in the listing. The location was great as we could see the fireworks from the deck and the beach. It's nestled in the middle of a row of houses so not many people from the condos want to walk that far down. It is close to a few ice cream shops and restaurants though which was nice. The house itself was slightly challenging as the only entrance is off the back deck. In desperate need of some newer beds and couches. We did purchase a hose and a clothesline which came in handy would have been nice to have already been there. The way the rooms are arranged made it hard to use the dressers because you couldn't pull out the drawers with the bed or a chair too close. There is lots of parking but the greenery on either side of the house needs trimmed as it sticks out quite a bit and could scratch your car.

Amazing Location
The best thing about Casalona is the location. A well-maintained walkway directly to the beach with amazing sunrises in the morning. Walking distance to downtown CB and restaurants. I never used a rental company through VRBO before, but the experience was great. Great communication and a seamless process to check-in and check-out. The property can really use some updating inside and out, some things are dated and worn. It would not take much to fix it up, but good experience all around.

Post Labor Day getaway
Place was great. Only problem was when at 1 am a young man pounded on the door asking to be let in, that this was his rental. I sent him away by calling 911 and he never came back - although he did break the gate and leave his shoes there :)

Classic Carolina Beach House
Perfect location with a small 3 minute drive into town. Private boardwalk directly to the beach. We loved the rocking chairs lining the porch. Spacious enough for me, 5 teenagers and a medium sized dog. One of the only beach houses that we have rented that still had plenty of hot water for the 6th person showering! Just a cute vintage beachfront house.

Perfect location!!!
Having our own private beach access was superb. The house was located close enough to walk to most places. While it could use some minor updating the layout, deck, and parking were perfect. I would rent this place again.

It's a nice property, great location on the beach and within a short bike ride to the board walk. Ideal if you have a family and want to let them ride up to the arcade without having to worry about crossing a busy road.

Casalona was perfect
We throughly enjoyed our stay at Casalona. It was very convenient to restaurants and only a short drive to the boardwalk. It was the perfect place to take my dog. He enjoyed his first visit on the beach. Only thing that would have made it perfectly would be to add a nonstick skillet for breakfast and a baking pan for biscuits, if you chose to cook breakfast there.

Disappointed. but friendly people resolved my issues
The property is in need of major repair in the kitchen area the back wall is beginning to rot.. The painting is in need of detailing, the furniture is in need of replacement, the refrigerator is rusting, the bottom of the kitchen cabinets needs cleaning and cabinet paper put down. With the kind of money that is being asked for to stay a week, you would expect more.
