This gorgeous home was constructed in 2013 as a private residence to entertain friends and family. The decor and color scheme of this home are so relaxing, you'll immediately start to decompress and destress the moment you cross the threshold. It was offered as a rental for the first time in 2020 to great acclaim. Let us help you make lasting memories while you relax and recharge in your spa-like surroundings.

Daydream Believer is located mid Island and has unobstructed vistas up and down the beach front from the two covered porches. A private walkway, accessed from the lower porch or pool area, takes you to the beach. Our home features an inverted floor plan with over 4200 square feet of living space. Enter from enclosed ground level entrance or up the front steps. If riding the elevator go to 3rd level first so you can be blown away by the striking vistas and charming design of the upper level.

On the upper level you will find an open floor plan which combines the Kitchen, Dining, and Living areas into one massive gathering space with extraordinary vistas of the Atlantic Ocean. The entirely equipped gourmet kitchen includes 2 full size ovens, microwave, 6 burner gas stove top, hood, dishwasher, and refrigerator all in stainless. In addition, you will find a constructed in wine cooler, Nugget ice maker, and a walk-in pantry with a second refrigerator. The massive granite island accommodates 8 diners with 5 bar and 3 counter seats. The handsome adjacent dinning table accommodates 8 also. The living room is cavernous and offers TV, sound system, games and books. The upper level is also where you will find the master suite complete with king bed and bespoke bath with stone and granite shower. There is also a modest full bath in the upper entry directly across from the elevator. There's a separate sitting/ TV room also on this level and another bedroom with queen bed and attached bath.

The middle level is the main entry entry, and 4 more bedrooms. There are two Ocean front master suites on this level, another queen bedroom with bath and an spectacular bunk room that sleeps 6. There are 4 bespoke constructed in bunk beds that line one wall with steps in the middle and 2 single twin beds in this room complete with bath. On this level is also where you will find the laundry room complete with huge capacity washer dryer and sink.

The elevator goes from ground level to 3rd (upper)floor which is great when unloading or for anyone who may have mobility issues.

Luxurious Linens are included which include sheets, towels, and beach towels.

The roomy pool area can be reached from the downstairs entrance or from lower floor porch. The pool is salt water. There is an enclosed shower area and a storage area that has pool floats, beach chairs and games. The pool area has 12 lounge chairs and 2 high top tables with 8 bar stools. The pool is well lit by floods in the evening. Both porches overlook the pool and beach.

The porches offer chaise lounges with bespoke cushions and Adirondack Rocking chairs. The upper porch also has a grouped seating area with cushioned couch, chairs and tables.

Tricks and tips to get the very best Cape Fear area vacation home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Book your Cape Fear area rental home in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area area magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides have coupons for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Make a plan and pick a perfectrental home:

• Select vacation dates and max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Magnificent Ocean Retreat has 6 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible online. If you don't see them listed, contact the property manager before booking your home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what is right for your vacation.
• If there's an individual Cape Fear area destination you long to visit, browse properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or costs could be applied to your agreement.

Tips for your stay:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Make a record of any damages to the property at check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few issues.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
