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 savor 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 appreciate the sand, surf, and sun. We really have an spectacular 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 extravagant... 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 "breathtaking 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 sizable 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 painless. 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 multiple 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.

Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Carolina Beach vacation property experience:

How to get the best value:

  • To find the best vacation home for your budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Brunswick area attractions and restaurants.
  • Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
  • Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
  • Property management companies often offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
  • Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain coupons for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Make a plan and choose the right Brunswick area rental home:

  • Select a designated group leader, choose your trip dates, and choose a maximum budget.
  • Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. \"Candlewood Sands\" Ocean Front SEA Luxury with Infinity Pool and Atlantic views has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Brunswick area rentals search.
  • Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before you book the home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
  • If there's a particular Brunswick area beach you are enamored with, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
  • Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.
  • If your family is traveling with pets, you will need a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Some things to know before you go:

  • Add the property manager's information to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
  • Upon arrival, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
  • Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many concerns.
  • Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
  • Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
  • Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
  • When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to confirm you have not forget anything. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
  • Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
