Family-friendly vacation rentals in Pleasure Island

The beach house was clean and nicely furnished. We had ample room for seven adults. It could comfortably sleep 9 people since the day bed was large enough for an adult in the alcove area. We were disappointed that the bicycles and the kayaks at the house were locked and we could not use them. But we enjoyed the sound with the beautiful sunsets and the beach was a short walk from the house. All in all a great house and vacation!

Very nice place to stay! Would def stay again. Private and perfectly located in safe neighborhood.

Really great location. Friendly host. Clean and a very relaxing atmosphere, just across from the ocean.

Wonderful stay!! Perfect location for everything!

Hospitality beyond the norm and will make you feel like family.

Location is fantastic. Right on the beach. Wonderful view from the porch. Our family had a great stay. The condo is a little dated but for the location doesn’t matter all that much.

We had a fantastic stay at this beach house! The place was clean. We especially loved the peaceful mornings on the deck and the sound of the waves at night. We’ll definitely be coming back again!

I had an amazing stay at this beach rental house! The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep after a day of fun in the sun. The house was spotless and well-maintained, which made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. The host was exceptionally responsive and made sure we had everything we needed, from check-in to check-out. We appreciated the thoughtful initial items provided, which made settling in so easy. The location couldn't have been better—just a short walk to the beach and close to great restaurants, making it so convenient to enjoy everything the area has to offer. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic beach getaway!

We had a great overnight stay at April’s. The place was as described and perfect for my family of 4. The girls especially enjoyed the bunk beds and Jenga. The main bed was comfortable and I appreciated the small touches like extra shampoo and conditioner. The location is an easy drive to the beach or downtown. The self Check-in was very simple. We would definitely stay here again.

I feel fortunate every time I get to enjoy Timothy's Beach Adjacent home when I visit Wilmington. It's always well supplied, very comfortable, peaceful and thoughtfully designed! Cheers to Timothy: another very enjoyable stay and another job well done!

Small 3BR 2BA home on a quiet street. Everything was clean and worked. The best part is the location. The museums, waterfront park, and most of the stores, restaurants, and coffee shops are within a few blocks of the home. Other than one trip to Walmart, we walked everywhere.

Was just the peaceful getaway that we all needed. I came down with my daughters and was my grand daughters first beach trip and we were not disappointed, highly recommend

This is a great house and so close to the beach (right around the corner). We loved hanging out at the house and everything was comfortable. The house book has lots of great information and was helpful for our explorations of the island. It was everything we wanted for a week of taking it easy at the beach. The host and management are truly gracious and responsive. I would definitely stay here again!

Sarah was a very attentive host! She gave us great local recommendations and was always responsive. They even replaced the record player so my teens could listen to them. Would highly recommend staying here!

Donovan’s Reef was the perfect house for our yearly mother daughter trip. We enjoyed how close to the beach we were and the beach access points, loved the outside shower to rinse off before going inside, kitchen had everything we needed, and the beds were super comfy! Check in and out was easy and Holly was super prompt with responding!

great spot, super convenient to everything but very peaceful neighborhood

This condo was perfect for a quick little get away for the family! There was plenty of room and having a pool and being beach front was perfect with the little one. Being downtown helped as well as it was easy to walk to restaurants and shops. Tori was very responsive and helped us as best as possible when we needed to reach out to her. We will definitely be looking to stay here again if we are able!

We had a great week long vacation! The pool was a hit with the kids, the house was clean and big enough for the two families who vacationed together. Diana was wonderful and responsive. I would absolutely stay again!

This was the second time that we stayed at this condo. Both times, we had a really great experience with the host and the cleaning company. The condo is perfect! Had everything we needed and in a great location. Jeff is an amazing host. Very proactive and tells you everything you need to know up front. We will rent from Jeff over and over!

wonderful house for our large extended family 1 block from the beach. fun "children's room" downstairs for the cousins to stay in and a nice view of the beach from the upstairs living area. plenty of supplies in the kitchen to cook meals in and great recommendations of local restaurants when we wanted to go out.

5 Star stay for long weekend. Pictures display a truly classy comfy townhouse that smells lovely and has everything you need. Bedrooms are spacious and linens are very comfortable. Perfect home with perfect location to beaches, restaurants, and shopping. Easy and clear instructions for check in and check out. Thank you John and Katie for our enjoyable experience. Looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend.

For being a last minute trip to Wrightsville beach, Matthew made it easy with his excellent communication and instructions. The place is centrally located, an easy walk to coffee, restaurants and bars. The views of the beach/ocean are perfect and the condo was very clean. If you are looking for a place to stay in Wrightsville I'd recommed staying at Matthew's place.

I cannot say enough positive words about this property. The best I have ever stayed in. Everything you could possibly want or need was available in the condo. All appliances were top of the line with extras as in blender, air fryer, everything. It was very well decorated with high end decor. Beautiful view, easy access to beach. Just a hop across street to a lovely beach. The balcony was comfortable and great for morning coffee and evening beverages and dinner. The parking was easy, we always had a covered spot for car. The pool was so nice and just a few steps away. The host was available for any information we wanted to ask as in restaurants, entertainment, etc. We will definitely be back.

Patricia was a wonderful host...always responded in a timely manner. The condo was perfect and is a in a great location with lots of shops and restaurants around. I hope to stay here again next summer.
