About this property

“South Star" ocean front, sleeps 6, inground pool on ocean! August price drop!!!

We would love to have your next vacation be at the South Star. This first floor, end unit offers spectacular ocean views and is just steps to the pool or beach, take your pick!

***New!!***
January 2024, brand new bathroom, fully remodeled, new kitchen floor & new memory foam twin mattresses in the crews' quarters! In the summer of 2023, we welcomed a new AC unit ensuring your summer nights are not hot and humid! As of March 2022, all appliances at the south star were upgraded! Fridge, dishwasher, stove, washer and dryer!!!
As for the rest, it’s all amazing, read on for the details!

The unit offers one bedroom with a queen bed, two "crews' quarters" twin bunk beds built into the hall (bed safety rails provided for top at no up-charge) and a pull-out sleeper sofa in the family room as well as power recliner.

The family room has dual sliding doors leading out to the patio where you can sit and relax while looking at the ocean. Just past your patio is one of three grilling stations and to your right the pool.

The bathroom has a walk-in tile shower as well as a washer and dryer.

The South Star is deep cleaned after each stay. This includes all bed coverings, pillow covers, couch cover and tablecloth being washed and changed after each stay.

The unit has a dedicated parking space just steps from the front door making your move in a breeze.

The patio has direct ocean views, and the South Star is part of the last residential condos on pleasure island which provides easy access to walking and biking trails through Fort Fisher and the historic preservations and civil war museums.

Need a day out of the sun? Just take a short drive to the aquarium! This location also makes taking advantage of the ferry system to Southport a breeze!

It is important to me that your time at the South Star is AMAZING! if you have any questions or requests please do not hesitate to reach out! Thank you for considering and hopefully booking the South Star for you next vacation! -Julie

Amazing family vacation spot
We had an amazing stay at Julie's place. It fit our family's needs beyond perfectly and we will definitely be returning. The washer/dryer helped immensely as we were able to pack less for our three-year-old and ourselves. The proximity to the ocean made it extremely easy to come on and off the beach as needed. The pool right behind the property was our daughter's favorite part. Julie is a wonderfully responsive and helpful host. Stay here!

Love South Star and Fort Fisher
We stayed at the South Star for the Fourth Annual Please Island Jeep Jam. The location was perfect for the Fort Fisher Rec Area and the 4x4 Beach. The condo was clean and updated. The tile in the shower is beautiful! Loved that there was a box fan available. We enjoyed our stay.

We came down for a getaway and for the Wilmington craft and cuisine fest. This location was great for both and the closeness to Fort Fisher. My child loves the bunk beds and we loved the back porch. Host was great. We loved it so much we stayed an extra night!

About the host

Hosted by Julie Davis

Host profile image
Hi, I am Julie and would love for your next vacation to be at the South Star! I am local to the Wilmington area, if you have any questions about the area or the unit, please let me know. Your experience is very important to me, and I will do all I can to ensure it is a great one. Thank you for considering my rental, I hope to have you stay with us soon.

Why they chose this property

Kure beach is such a laid-back place! You get the true Carolina feel here.

The nature trails across the street and directly south of the unit are just beautiful, and you won't have to drive to get there.

If you do want to take a ride you are about 5 minutes away from what us locals call "the end of the world", here you have breath taking views of the mouth of the Cape Fear and the ocean. You can even walk a rock wall during low tide that puts you right in the middle of the two. Also, some amazing fishing here.

If you have 4 wheel drive, and are brave, you can take your ride out on the South End for the day.

Carolina beach is a short 5 minute drive just to the North making it easy to enjoy the beautiful boardwalk and night life.

What makes this property unique

You can't stay any further down on the island, the Riggings is it! This really gives you a peaceful atmosphere that you can't get elsewhere on the island. When we say it is on the ocean, we mean it, and the pool is as well. The pool has bar seating facing the ocean, so come swim, have a drink and let the waves take your stress away!
