Looking for a really unique Ocean Front Pleasure Island hideaway with its OWN Infinity Pool, fire pit, Private Access and is STOCKED with amenities to appreciate those painted sunrises and salty breezes? "Candlewood Sands" may be the sandcastle you've been looking for!
Managed by SWRE, this vintage and impeccably accessorized Oceanfront get-a-way will be sure to be the backdrop where many a-memories are made. From beach-combing, to a fast jaunt Downtown, heaven is TRULY at your sandy fingertips!

Neighborhood description:

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 home itself is Ocean Front and is less than a mile from the heart of Carolina Beach and everything that is has to offer with its stores, activities, and dining. There are fireworks during the summer every Thursday nighttime, and local fairs around the lake each Saturday morning.

Carolina Beach is a mix of friendly locals, snowbirds, and visitors all looking to escape the inland and savor the sand, surf, and sun. We really have an gorgeous 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 calming 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!

The space:

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-aligned beach with a touch of everything one might be looking for! It’s an AMAZING place to visit, live, and never leave!

"Candlewood Sands" lies directly in the middle of both Carolina and Kure Beaches respectively and is a long walk or short drive from downtown Carolina Beach and everything that is has to offer! In Carolina Beach you’ve got the boardwalk, eateries, and local stores of all kinds. If you like adventures, the marina is also there where you can take an offshore fishing trip, diving excursion, or event 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 close by, hosting a weekly Farmer’s Market every Saturday, and FIREWORKS every Thursday. We welcome you to sit back, relax and enjoy yourselves because that's exactly what the beach is for!

"Candlewood Sands" represents an Ocean Front escape that's equal parts cozy and broad, also opulent... yet simple. Adorned with high end appliances and craftsmanship (with a flare of the original period architecture), a backyard complete with a private Infinity pool, fire pit, and beach access, through to the expanse of AWING vistas from one of the many balconies, windows, and decks... the sum of what makes up the parts of this exotic get-a-way's experience adds up to just ONE thing; An "UNFORGETTABLE" experience!

Candlewood is comprised of a 5 bedroom and 2 bathroom sandy footprint complete with 3 Queen size beds, 1 Full size bed, and a compact Twin over Twin bunk room for the kids! The 2 Full baths (one of which features a tub) of the home provides all of the amenities of home with a Salty twist!

With accessibility to each level separately from both inside AND outside, it's an Atlantic breeze to get to anywhere and everywhere you want to go! Taking the "spectacular route" around back, you encounter a lower level combined laundry and storage room where both owner supplied beach amenities can be found and guests can utilize to store yours!

It's IMPOSSIBLE not to be awe-struck by the aquamarine infinity pool and that bigger "pool" of varying blue hues in the horizon as you continue to discover the grounds. Other property features from the private boardwalk and outdoor shower, to the poolside lounge chairs and variety of outdoor eating, resting, and relaxing stations are irresistible detours leading up to entering your Sand Castle.

Upon entering, you immediately get that "beach bungalow" vibe as you're met by ceilings adorned in period oak, exposed beams, and a bright interior that accepts the natural light to stream and bounce throughout the home. As you pass through the Lower family room (complete with Ocean vistas from the couch, upsized intelligent TV, etc.) you happen upon the kids room off to the Right complete with a bespoke Twin + Twin bunk (bedroom #1). Look fast, as you nearly missed bedroom #2 off to your Left with a Queen size bed and King size Atlantic vistas!

Passing on through the family room on your Left rests Full bathroom #1 complete with an upsized granite double vanity and walk-in seated shower with bespoke tile work. The bathroom was strategically placed so that it's equidistant and accessible to ALL 3 Eastern bedrooms. Everything you need, and right where you need it!

Heading further West into Candlewood, a Full bathroom (bathroom #2) complete with a tub greets you along the way to bedrooms #4 and #5. Bedroom #4 is first up complete with a Full size bed, oak ceiling, chest-of-drawers, and more! A bit further down the hall sits bedroom #5!

Bedroom #5 sits on the biggest Sandy footprint of all bedrooms (note for travelers with a infant or young kid) and has it's own personal seating area, a huge closet where a second washer and dryer conveniently are on hand and a Queen size bed of its own. Continuing on, we set off for the highest elevation of Mt. Candlewood!

Atop the stairway, an open modern kitchen, dining area, and Upper living room await when it's time to refuel and relax. Two upsized windows overlooking the Atlantic make spotting pelican's all too simple. If the weather is ideal for some Salty Sea air, just ease over to the balcony slider, head on through and .... breathe!

Guest access
The HOME: Guests have full access to their own private HOME (never shared), decks, balconies and backyard.

PARKING: Each reservation will have access to anywhere from 2-4 cars (*upsized cars depending). 4 standard size cars will fit without any trouble!

•Closest BEACH access: Your Backyard!

Getting around:

There isn’t anywhere or anything on our Island that isn’t accessible with foot power. Downtown Carolina Beach has numerous vendors such as Tony Silvagni’s Surf School @ 308 S Lake Park Blvd, Carolina Beach, NC 28428 (bicycles, paddleboards, surfboards, kayaks, chairs, and umbrellas) for rent as an alternative to walking or driving. There's Sun Fun Units @1204 N Lake Park Blvd Unit F Carolina Beach, NC 28428. 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!

Other things to note:

•Linens (sheets, bath towels, wash cloths, floor towels, pillowcases, etc.) along with pillows and a summer comforter ARE included in your suite rental!

GOLF CARTS

•To the county, golf carts are considered automobiles. Generally speaking, golf carts are NOT allowed on premises of ANY condo, condotel, or apartment. The same goes for trailers, motorbikes, etc. For SFR’s or properties supporting multiple cars, carts should be OK. However, be conscious that few homes have external outlets WITHOUT GFCI’S (which are code by today’s standards). Charging a cart on a GFCI will immediately trip the breaker, resulting in the inability to charge a cart amongst other repercussions. Gas carts will generally be the ideal rental option if in a home whose parking supports such.

•ALL suites are non-smoking (including vaping) and a heavy cleaning/repair charge can result if not adhered to. This includes porches, decks, balconies, and walkways.

•Please always consider TRAVEL INSURANCE from your respective booking site or vendor to help protect your costs in case of inclement weather or last-min. travel complications (court, illness, etc.). These items are NOT returnable scenarios unless the property itself is compromised. If that does happen, we will do our absolute best to find you alternative housing.

Tips and Tricks to get the best vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

  • Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. Reserve your Brunswick area vacation in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
  • In the Brunswick area area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
  • Some property managers offer special rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
  • Property management companies usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
  • Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Brunswick area area visitor guide magazines which will include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Brunswick area area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Make a plan and pick yourvacation home:

  • Start by selecting your trip dates and a spending budget.
  • Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. \"Candlewood Sands\" Ocean Front SEA Luxury with Infinity Pool and Atlantic views has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
  • Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is usually available online. If you don't see them listed, contact the property manager before booking the rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
  • Are you looking for particular amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
  • Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
  • If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly property. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Know before you go:

  • Add the owner's information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
  • During arrival, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
  • Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
  • Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
  • Lock your rental home while you are away. Protect your property!
  • Just before checking out, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Record a video to document the condition of the property.
  • Leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to inspire future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
