Your property
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!
The Chateau is a quick jaunt to BOTH CB and KB! In CB 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 complete with bait, tackles, and more! You can also head down to Kure Beach and fish directly off their fishing pier complete 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!
Spanning the entire width of a double lot (a typical luxury home sits on a lot of 50'x100') this 100' x 100' ocean front home boasts some of the most beautiful and iconic panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean afforded by Pleasure Island. There are three levels of decks, porches, and balconies to ensure every guest and visitor a front row seat to our amazing coastline.
The home itself affords guests 6 bedrooms and 6.5 baths (one on EVERY floor including the garage level) that will comfortably accommodate a maximum party of 17. Guests are encouraged to follow all respective social distancing recommendations in order to protect themselves and others during these unprecedented times.
One the ground floor sits a four car garage with its own full bath (bathroom #1) along with an external entrance to the rear patio and your private beach access. This makes it easy to hit those waves and wash off the salt and sand prior to your next stop into the chalet. Ascend next to first floor (or another) of the home using either the staircase, or the homes elevator to assist with accommodating differing needs.
The first floor and main floor of the home boasts a number of different points of interest. Bedrooms #1 and #2 sit towards the northwestern most point of the floor. Bathrooms #2 and the half bath reside on this floor. To the south sits the game room complete with a Brunswick table and television to enjoy some friendly competition when not hitting the waves and catching some sun. Because of the uncanny width of the home, every room from bedroom #2, to the dining room, the living room all the way through the game room ALL have accesses to the rear porch and corresponding private boardwalk directly to the beach.
Outside on the rear deck sits countless chairs from rockers, to Adirondack, to swings so that every seat is the "best seat" in the "house". The deck boasts a large barbecue, enough space to host your entire party, and panoramic views across spanning the horizon.
In the center of the first floor sits a large open kitchen and accompanying dining area overlooking an expanse of contiguous panoramic ocean views. Just off the kitchen (complete with its own separate wet bar, bar sink, additional chest freezer, cabinetry and counter space) sits the large living room complete with a 75" smart TV along with enough WIFI coverage for and devices. The home is equipped with a reverse osmosis/charcoal filtration system via an added faucet at the kitchen sink to allow a high caliber supply of fresh drinking water! A separate family room towards the front of the first floor entrance is tucked away for those looking to share a smaller conversation space a little further away from the primary living room. Opposite the front door are two bathrooms, one full and one half bath.
Ascending up to the second floor sits bedrooms #3, #4, and #5 along with three full baths (one per bedroom). The master bedroom has an oversized bath and is equipped with both a shower stall and soaker tub. The two oceanfront suites (#3 and #4) allow separate access to a shared panoramic ocean view balcony to make a prompt escape to once your morning coffee is picked up downstairs. A laundry room is located in the foyer between suites #3 and #4. Suite #5, located on the eastern side of the home, in lieu of having balcony access, has views of both Lake Park Blvd S. and an additional lounging area... a good spot to share some after hours laughs and conversation.
Ascending up to the third floor as you stare down at the chandelier as you pass, rests the sixth and final bedroom. Both bath #6 and Bedroom #6 boasts a creative layout of 6 beds throughout the roughly 750 square feet. A bunk, and 5 twin beds sit staggered creatively throughout the room. Two of the beds are in oversized "closets" of sort. Think "Harry Potter"! Capping off the pinnacle of the home is a third floor balcony allowing you to see an interrupted horizon for miles. It's absolutely breathtaking. Comfort, unforgettable views, and lasting memories await each guest that stays with us at The Snows Cut Chateau.

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 CB and KB, as well as the annexed communities of Wilmington Beach and Hanby Beach are located on the island. CB is a mix of friendly locals, snowbirds, and vacationers all looking to escape the inland and enjoy the sand, surf, and sun. Some of the local excursions are (but not limited to) a subtle beach hike through CB State Park, Fishing on the KB Pier, kayaking to one of the many islands surrounding the ICWW, watching canons blast during a historical reenactment at the Fort Fisher State Historic Site, or petting some Sting Rays at the NC 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!
