About the host

Hosted by Carole and Greg Langheim

Host profile image
We are entertainers by nature. We love hosting family and friends. We also love the beach. It has been so special for our family, so we love sharing our properties with people in hopes they will create lasting memories at the beach.

Why they chose this property

We are originally from Chicago. We moved to North Carolina and flocked to the warmth of the beach versus the extreme cold we were use to. Carolina Beach appealed to us because of the vibrant entertainment, bars, restaurants and good old fashioned boardwalk.

What makes this property unique

Sunshine Daydreams is our little gem. It is in the best location - walking distance to everything! We have two parking spaces, which is key! We are steps to the beach, but also have a pool to enjoy. We felt this sweet little condo had everything we were looking for and are thrilled to be hosts.
