Jeff, owner of What the Grill, did a nice job of consulting with us to help us design our outdoor kitchen. We are extremely pleased with the outcome. So far, I’ve cooked appetizers before dinner (we ate dinner out with friends) and this morning I cooked breakfast outside. The Primo ceramic grill is wonderful.

Serving Carolina Beach, NC
About thirty five minutes from our Leland showroom, through Wilmington and down Highway 421.
A good share of Carolina Beach outdoor living gets built for guests rather than just for the owners. Rental and second-home properties on Pleasure Island need setups that are durable, easy for someone else to operate, and simple to shut down between stays. That points toward different choices than a primary residence would call for. Outdoor spaces here also tend to be compact, so layouts have to be efficient.
Including Pleasure Island, Kure Beach, Wilmington Beach, Hanby Beach and the surrounding area.

What works best for a rental property?
Durability and simplicity. Equipment that guests cannot easily damage or misconfigure, finishes that survive salt air and heavy use, and a setup that is quick to clean and shut down between stays. We can also point you toward configurations that keep maintenance down when you are not on the island.
Do you serve Kure Beach as well?
Yes. Kure Beach and the rest of Pleasure Island are within our normal service area, about thirty five minutes from the Leland showroom. Same design, delivery, and installation service as anywhere else we cover.
