This was our first visit to Carolina Beach, we had the best time. However, we forgot our beach blanket and shade at home! Thankfully there were both in the beach storage closet they had available for us. We were able to walk to most everything. The boardwalk was super cute and my kids had a great time. Walk to the beach was super close and easy. We had more space than expected at the condo, which was nice! Family of 2 adults; 4 kids (newborn, 2, 8, & 12). Loved Nollie’s & SeaWitch which we walked to! We also ate at Celtic Monkey and the spot; both were great! Very pleased!
