Ask a questionAbout Chris and Betsy Head
Chris and Betsy met in college, and fell in love a few years later. Married since 1989, they have raised 3 wonderful children who are now grown and making their parents prouder every day! Carolina Beach has been one of those touchstones in our lives. It's a wonderful place to leave the world behind and focus on family time. Today we live in Virginia, but come here as often as we can to dig our toes in the sand!
Chris and Betsy Head purchased this condo in 2008
Why Chris and Betsy Head chose Carolina Beach
Betsy always wanted to own a home at the beach. As an infant, her first beach experience was just north of here, on Wrightsville Beach. Chris has family in the Wilmington area, so the fit was a natural. When this condo came on the market, the two knew the time was right. With the condo's unique view of the Civil War wreckage, there is a special charm to this quiet beach village of Carolina Beach.
What makes this condo unique
From the first time we stayed in one of the Sands III condos, we loved the view of the beach from the deck. With the beach access right next to the building, we couldn't ask for better location. And the lake across the street is a great place to get our steps in every day! The pathway around the lake is perfect for walking, running, or taking your furry friends for a stroll. All in all, our condo is in a perfect location for everything! We can walk to restaurants, bike all over the island, or grab a green smoothie just a block away at the Veggie Wagon (a discovery we just made in April of 2017!) The pool, while small, is perfect for cooling off after a day at the beach. And Carolina Beach offers us whatever we are looking for: great restaurants, amusing nightlife, good shopping, outdoor recreation, and so much more!
