About the host
Hosted by Rose Smith
Ever since reading Nicholas Sparks books years ago, I dreamed of owning a beach house in the Outer Banks. There was always something magical about the quiet coastal towns, the slower pace, the salty air, and the feeling of escaping real life for a while.
When we found Carolina Dream on Hatteras Island, it felt exactly like the cozy OBX getaway we had always imagined with peaceful mornings, long beach days, sunset skies, and evenings spent relaxing on the porch after the beach.
We created Carolina Dream to feel warm, welcoming, comfortable & the kind of place where you can truly unplug, recharge, and make memories with the people you love.
Whether you’re here for beach days, fishing, family time, or simply a quiet escape by the ocean, we hope you fall in love with the Outer Banks the same way we did.
