Cottage vacation rentals in Pleasure Island

Our family loved this house and location - plenty of room, easy walk to the beach, tennis courts out back, friendly neighbors, easy access to restaurants and stores. Jim was responded quickly when we asked for help with supplies. The spring pollen factor was high - so be ready! We washed the decks and chairs and that improved things. We will return!

This was a very clean, comfortable and attractive place to stay. The location was very convenient to all the wonderful things Wilmington has to offer. The owners were very helpful with check in and provided a lovely place.

Staying at this Airbnb felt like a true escape. The location couldn't have been better – being mere steps from the beach was such a treat, allowing for spontaneous walks and the calming sound of the waves. It was wonderful to find such a genuinely dog-friendly place; my pups absolutely loved it, which made the stay even more enjoyable for me. The entire atmosphere was incredibly relaxing, and I found the off-season to be a particularly lovely time to visit, with beautiful weather and a sense of peacefulness. The property itself had everything I could possibly need, making it easy to settle in and feel comfortable. Amy was fantastic – always communicative and helpful, ensuring a smooth and easy stay. While there were plenty of options for things to do in the area, I also appreciated the opportunity to simply unwind and work remotely in such a serene setting. The upper deck was my favorite spot for getting sun many hours of the day. I’ve stayed in many airbnbs and this is a favorite!

I absolutely adore this cute little beach house. It was a perfect best friend get away. I felt like I was staging in a beach cottage straight off hgtv. My only suggestion is a full length mirror for the females! Definitely would stay here again.

We so enjoyed our stay in this quiet and peaceful home! It was the perfect get away and very kid friendly! The backyard is fenced and the whole place is clean and nicely decorated! About 15 minutes to the beach and 25 minutes to downtown, overall a wonderful stay! 5/5

Very close to the beach as well as shops & restaurants. very cozy home and elizabeth is very sweet and quick to respond!

This was an absolutely perfect Topsail vacation home! We loved every minute of our stay. The location is absolutely fantastic. So close to the little local shops and restaurants as well as super close to the bridge going over to the mainland.. The house itself was spotless and quite comfortable. Had everything we needed to cook full meals. Plenty of kitchenware for our group of seven. Proximity to the beach is by far the most fantastic detail of this house! The little private sandy beach *yard* attached to the deck is awesome for kids and the beach itself just down a few steps is so amazing. We could even sit in bed and see the ocean waves! This is the best house with beach access and views we've stayed at in Topsail. Also positive to note, the entire property being fenced in felt incredibly safe for kids and was fantastic for our dog. We realized the apartment was a part of the rental unit and we were so pleasantly surprised! It was a great separate space! Overall highly recommend!

Beautiful, clean and comfortable home. Jim was a great host. Tons of room and a good location. The pond next door was cool.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would book here again. David was very responsive with any questions. The house was very clean and spacious, the location is tucked away and quiet but also extremely accessible to anywhere you may want to go in the area.

Went for the weekend, great location, walking distance to the beach and boardwalk. The beds where very comfy, they had fans we could use for each bedroom! Space was clean and looked like the photos. Would definitely recommend

This is my family and I favorite place to stay! We fish off the dock, go kayaking, swim and play in the sand. It’s an easy walk to the ocean side if you want to go there. We spend most of time at the at the beach area there at the house.

The perfect stay - AGAIN! ** This is our second time staying at this airbnb and both times it has been wonderful! The home is immaculate and instantly comfortable and cozy. The homeowner's clearly have a great sense of humor in their instructions and notes and it always brings some cheerfulness to the stay. :) Perfectly located with super easy access to Wrightsville, DT, mid-town, out of town, basically everywhere! The fenced in yard is perfect for our pup and the covered patio is always a favorite to just relax and enjoy one our favorites from Wilmington Brewing. This will always be the first place I check for availability when back visiting in town and I would absolutely recommend it to others!

Home away from home. The Coral Cottage had everything we needed to be comfy.

Luna Sea is perfect!! Amazing hosts, perfect location walkable to town and the beach, and very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely return

We loved our week at Blue Turtle Cottage! It’s bright, clean and charming. Just a short walk to the beach. Leslie and Kay were lovely hosts. We’d definitely come back if our plans bring us to OKI. The king bed is super comfy!. Thanks for hosting us! 💙🐢

Mickell was a wonderful host! I booked super last minute with kiddo and service dog in tow. She accommodated us with no trouble! Place was wonderful, beautiful and quiet area, easy access for myself and kiddo, fenced yard, and lots of towels and such ready for us! Absolutely recommend for a great beach stay!!

If you are looking for a very clean, well kept, fully stocked and cozy home, then this is the place that you need to book. Jenn is a wonderful host and her communication is very timely. There was a storm the week of our stay that ended up putting us one day behind due to flooding. Jenn was very accommodating and quickly refunded one night for us. She could not get to the house to clean due to flooding but asked a friend to assist. We were able to get to the house the very next day and start our vacation. The house is stocked with extra beach chairs, bikes, an outdoor grill, toiletries and any kitchen item that you may need. Jenn was thoughtful enough to have bottled water in the fridge incase you had a long trip. There is plenty of comfortable outdoor seating on the patio. Under the house she has swings where you can enjoy the beach weather and beautiful views of the marsh. Our family has already planned on coming back again next year. Thank you so much for your hospitality Jenn.

The cottage was very cute and inviting. We arrived pretty late, but with clear instructions, it was a breeze getting inside. It was very nice having a tranquil walkway that had lights that light up as you walk up. The lights were on inside which was nice for us arriving late. The bed and linens were nice and soft. The amphitheater is just a short stroll away and the lake across the street was beautiful to walk. The host was very friendly. We enjoyed our stay.

We loved this place! It was extremely clean & easy access to the beach, grocery stores, restaurants, etc.

Great place to stay. Few minute's walk to beach. Highly recommended.

Beautiful little cottage with an ocean view from the front porch. Very updated& clean! Thank you for a great stay!

Caroline was an amazing host and was very kind and helpful throughout our stay. The airbnb was adorable, clean, well stocked, and in a great location! It was nice being so close to everything but still far enough to have a private get away. The porch swing was a nice touch. Would absolutely stay here again if visiting Holden!

The cottage was absolutely perfect, it felt like home from the moment we walked in. So peaceful and private, with thoughtful touches that made our stay extra special. We especially loved the outdoor shower and the back porch; the perfect spot to relax in the evenings. The fenced-in backyard was a huge plus for our family, and the quiet neighborhood made everything feel calm and restful. The beach was just a short, easy walk away, and the directions provided by the host made it even more enjoyable. There was so much to see and explore along the way , it was a little adventure for both us and the kids. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay! Thank you 😊

Kristi & Ian’s cozy coastal cottage is perfection! Beautiful interior and we felt right at home. Highly recommend for a couple looking to stay in Wilmington for a long weekend. We loved the comfy, cozy cottage as well its location (close to Wrightsville & not too far from DT Wilmington). Absolutely lovely place to stay.
