The Carolina Bay Lifestyle: Make It Your Own

A thoughtfully created, dynamic approach to retirement living, the amenities of Carolina Bay combine country club elegance with a relaxing resort atmosphere, and it’s all built into your lifestyle as a resident.

In a setting of serene natural beauty, you’ll enjoy a range of wellness and recreation programs, and a social calendar as busy as you choose to make it. Staff members are trained to help you achieve your overall wellness goals, and neighborly relationships naturally develop as residents share common interests and encourage each other in discovering new ones.

At Your Doorstep

Join your neighbors for fitness programs at the wellness center, for a dip in the beautiful indoor pool, or for daily strolls around the beautiful Autumn Hall neighborhood. Indulge in the onsite spa, including a salon and barber services, and sign up for classes at UNCW’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. Join a bridge game, a crafts class, or just grab a book from the library and spend a quiet afternoon reading beside the lake.

Immerse yourself in an active life

Eat Well, Live Well
