Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2001
Why the Owner Chose Ocean Sands, Section F
The beauty and serenity of the wide sandy beaches of Corolla first attracted us to the area. The friendliness of everyone we met encouraged us to stay. The ease of reaching a beautiful beach. We live on the VA peninsula only 2 1/2 hrs away. The uniqueness of the historic Currituck Lighthouse and the Wild Mustangs of the Outer Banks. When we first came in 2001 you could see the Mustangs, the symbol of the Outer Banks, on the dunes and beaches of Ocean Sands. They can now be seen on one of the Wild Mustang tours. They have been relocated for their own protection to the Wild Horse Sanctuary (in the 4 wheel drive area) to the North of Corolla
The Unique Benefits at this Townhome
You'll find our townhouse is an easy walk to the beach. You can hear the surf from our deck or let it lull you to sleep at night, without the oceanfront prices. A community pool just outside your door (about 15 ft.) gives you the amenity of pool without the price. We are hands on owners who come down often to check things out. We want our guests to have a home away from home that they want to come to again and again. We vacation here too and our family has made many happy memories here. We hope you do too.
Owner's Map of Ocean Sands, Section F
Welcome to Carolina Dreamin" We are Dick and Dove Barton. Our townhouse is named Carolina Dreamin because it always was a dream to have a cottage on the Outer Banks or OBX as we call it. In 2001 that dream came true. But that was only the beginning. Our townhouse need a little TLC since it had not been updated since 1969. We set about renovating and updating. It has been a labor of love and we have tried to renovate and decorate with needs of our guests in mind.

Review Submitted: 08/01/11
The townhouse location was perfect. So close to the beach, what we always wanted. We are a single family not renting with other families, so this was an execellent price for us. The doggie enjoyed the porch. She would sun herself and watch the people walking to the beach. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen is nicely remolded. Kitchen is well stocked. Bathrooms are roomy. It was good to have room in both bathrooms with 2 teenage girls. Dealing directly with the owner,( who I would like to say was so on the ball, directions, booking, I never had such wonderful service with any realtor) made it so easy for us. I highly recomend Carolina Dreaming.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers, pet owners.

We stayed at Carolina Dreamin' the week of June 19th, 2011 with another couple and kiddies. We had so much fun with our children at the (pool right behind the townhome)...so convenient for quick cool offs! The beach was just a minute walk. The north/northeast facing deck was very relaxing in the morning and evening with nice views of the ocean. Kid friendly being so close to pool and beach along with hi chair, baby gate and pack n play. Good value for great fun!!!

We are regulars at the Outer bank beaches, but this was our first time in Corolla. Carolina Dreamin is a very conveniently located house, and was exactly what we were looking. We were not disappointed; the house is very well equipped, is clean and comfortable. It has an excellent view of the ocean from the balcony. If you are looking for a place a few steps from the pool and two minute-walk to the beach this is the place to choose. Groceries are just across the street, and that is a plus.

My husband, daughter, and I had never been to the Outer Banks, and we were looking for something close to the beach and affordable for our small family. Carolina Dreamin' was perfect! It was easy to walk to the beach with our toddler and we enjoyed grilling and hanging out at the house, too. The house was clean and comfortable, and the owners responded quickly during the planning process when we inquired about different aspects of the property.

We had an awsome week. The location is amazing and such a very short distance to the beach. This was perfect for us taking 3 kids to the beach every day. The pool is a wonderful addition to the stay as well.

We certainly enjoyed our stay at the Outer Banks. It was our first visit and we are hooked! Carolina Dreamin was a good value for the money. I was looking for something smaller for just our family of 5. I wanted something simple and small with a good location. The proximity to the pool and ocean were great. The pool was very clean and the decking around it was new and very nice. Being able to walk to the beach in 2-3 minutes was very nice--especially with a 16 month-old in tow! And the ocean peaks from the balcony were nice as well. Overall, if you are looking for something smaller and simple for a good price, Carolina Dreamin definitely meets those needs.
