"Candlewood Sands" Ocean Front SEA Luxury with Infinity Pool and Atlantic views
Looking for a truly unique Ocean Front Pleasure Island getaway with its OWN Infinity Pool, fire pit, Private Access and is STOCKED with amenities to enjoy 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 quick jaunt Downtown, paradise 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 shops, activities, and dining. There are fireworks during the summer every Thursday night, and local fairs around the lake each Saturday morning.
Carolina Beach is a mix of friendly locals, snowbirds, and vacationers all looking to escape the inland and enjoy the sand, surf, and sun. We truly have an amazing 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 relaxing 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-oriented 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, restaurants, and local shops of all kinds. If you like adventures, the marina is also there where you can take an offshore fishing trip, diving excursion, or party 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 nearby, 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 quaint and expansive, also luxurious... 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 views 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 boasts a tub) of the home provides all of the comforts 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 "scenic 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 larger "pool" of varying blue hues in the horizon as you continue to explore 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 allows the natural light to stream and bounce throughout the home. As you pass through the Lower family room (complete with Ocean views from the couch, oversized smart TV, etc.) you happen upon the kids room off to the Right complete with a custom Twin + Twin bunk (bedroom #1). Look fast, as you almost missed bedroom #2 off to your Left with a Queen size bed and King size Atlantic views!
Passing on through the family room on your Left rests Full bathroom #1 complete with an oversized granite double vanity and walk-in seated shower with custom 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 largest Sandy footprint of all bedrooms (note for travelers with a baby or young child) and has it's own personal seating area, a large 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 oversized windows overlooking the Atlantic make spotting pelican's all too easy. If the weather is perfect 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 vehicles (*oversized vehicles depending). 4 standard size vehicles 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 several 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 Rentals @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, motorcycles, etc. For SFR’s or properties supporting multiple vehicles, 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-minute travel complications (court, illness, etc.). These items are NOT refundable scenarios unless the property itself is compromised. If that does happen, we will do our absolute best to find you alternative housing.
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 quick jaunt Downtown, paradise is TRULY at your sandy fingertips!
