Anchor Down - Ocean & Canal Views, Near Beach Access, CB Pier, Freeman Park, Outdoor Space, Grill
Anchor Down is a spacious home located at the North End of Pleasure Island. A great vacation spot fit for a group of up to 8. It is a short 1 block walk to the beach. This duplex is equipped with everything you need including an extra outdoor space area on the ground floor, outdoor patio with grill, and plenty of parking. Enjoy the views of the canal and ocean from the 3 porches, and more!
Fresh linens and towels are included in the cleaning fee, so no need to worry about extra charges!
There is so much to do only minutes away. The drive-on beach at Freeman Park is a few blocks away, the Boardwalk is a short drive away and is a great place to walk along the beach, shop all the local stores, and feast on delicious food. There are also many rental places on the island for beach supplies, surf boards, paddle boarding, bikes, kayaks, and more! Visit the NC Fort Fisher aquarium, a great place to check out and learn about the local wildlife. There are fireworks every week in the summer as well. The fun never ends when you vacation on Pleasure Island!
