Aw Shucks had everything you need for a stay at Carolina Beach. The location is perfect--so close to the boardwalk, and the ocean views are lovely (and the sound of the waves). Beds were very comfortable, and the condo was well-appointed, including things you need for the beach! (towels, cart to take to the beach, boogie board, etc.)We decided to leave early due to the arrival of Hurricane Debby, so we were disappointed to not have more time here. The communication was clear and we would definitely stay here again!
Do you know the old saying about location? Well, this property has that and more! You are steps away from the boardwalk, steps away from the beach, and a block away from many restaurants in any direction. The unit is updated and beautiful. The third floor gives you an excellent view of up and down Carolina Beach. Anything you needed was there. The linen service was excellent. The unit was impeccably clean. If you want to be in the middle of it all this is your place! Finally, the owner is amazing! She communicated every step of the way and made sure our stay was perfect. Thank you!
