We enjoyed our week at Carolina Beach in the Sands IV Sweet Dreams unit. It was clean, well-maintained and well-furnished. And it was good to be back in Carolina Beach where we had lived for 5 years in the late '80's - early '90's. The growth in the area was amazing to see, and so many new places to eat.
The parking at Sands IV was a REAL PAIN -- particularly since some of the parking lanes were about 2 feet narrower than others, and opening car doors was very dicey. Also having to get up at the crack of dawn or late at night to move a car so someone else could get out was a real inconvenience. We also found it frustrating that there was only one key for the access to the beach and one for access to the pool. That meant that we all had to come and go at the same time, rather than having to freedom to come and go as we might have preferred individually.
