Perfect for two blended families, or multiple couples, 1114 Bonito is only a short four block walk to the oceanfront waves of beautiful Carolina Beach. Stroll to Ocean Grill and Tiki Bar or Granny's Country Kitchen within two minutes. For the walkers in your crew, you'll never need to move the cars! The famous Carolina Beach Boardwalk, with all its shops, bars, and restaurants is a 1.2 mile walk. There will be plenty of oysters at The Shuckin Shack, and cold beers at the Fat Pelican along the way. Hang Ten Grill, the weekly Arts and Crafts festival on the lake, and farm fresh produce at the Veggie Wagon are all iconic spots along this walking trail. You are renting two duplexes side by side. There are 6 separate bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. Multiple schedules and activities can be flexible with two separate living rooms and kitchens, yet you can enjoy coffee chats and cocktail conversations across the multilevel decks, make plans for a jaunt to the beach or meals together as a clan, or share an oyster roast all together in the yard! Nestled into a lovely neighborhood: sleep and traffic will be quiet, but you are still close walking distance to all the action.

The Neighborhood:
Adventure awaits on Pleasure Island. History lovers can walk the scenic, live‑oak‑lined trails of the Fort Fisher State Historic Site, where Civil War bunkers still stand, or take the scenic car ferry across the Cape Fear River for a relaxing visit to the charming town of Southport where quaint streets are filled with unique antique shops and galleries.. Nature enthusiasts will love the island’s two state‑managed coastal preserves: Carolina Beach State Park, home to rare Venus flytraps found naturally only in this region, and the Fort Fisher State Recreation Area, known for pristine beaches, marshes, and wildlife viewing. Both offer beautiful opportunities for hiking, paddling, fishing, and spotting pelicans or even nesting loggerhead sea turtles.
After a day outdoors, unwind on your private balcony with a sunset cocktail, or head into town to explore the best of Carolina Beach. The Carolina Beach Boardwalk, ranked one of the Top 10 Boardwalks in the U.S. by Food & Wine, features classic seaside fun—local restaurants, an arcade, ice cream shops, bars, and the famous Britt’s Donuts. In summer, enjoy weekly fireworks and live entertainment, carnival rides, family nights, and Flamingo BINGO. Off‑season brings signature island events like the Cape Fear Kite Festival, Christmas by the Sea, and the Island of Lights Festival. Pleasure Island offers something unforgettable for every traveler—adventure, relaxation, and the perfect coastal escape.
Getting Around:
Getting around Pleasure Island is a breeze! While parking can be limited in peak season, especially in popular spots, paid private or public parking is available. We recommend exploring Carolina Beach and Kure Beach on foot or by bike – they're super walkable and bike-friendly. You'll find safe pedestrian and bike routes, including the Island Greenway. Renting a golf cart or bike is easy, too, with several local rental companies. Golf carts are one of the easiest ways to cruise around the island. Rentals are simple to arrange, and once you're behind the wheel, you can zip along any road posted 35 mph or under.
