About this property

Magnificent Ocean Retreat only a few weeks remain July 7 to 14 available

This magnificent home was built in 2013 as a private residence to entertain friends and family. The decor and color scheme of this home are so soothing, 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 views 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 boasts 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 magnificent views and beautiful 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 amazing views of the Atlantic Ocean. The fully 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 built 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 beautiful adjacent dinning table accommodates 8 also. The living room is spacious 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 custom bath with stone and granite shower. There is also a small 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 foyer, and 4 more bedrooms. There are two Ocean front master suites on this level, another queen bedroom with bath and an amazing bunk room that sleeps 6. There are 4 custom built 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 large 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 provided which include sheets, towels, and beach towels.

The spacious 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 custom cushions and Adirondack Rocking chairs. The upper porch also has a grouped seating area with cushioned couch, chairs and tables. The lower porch has chaise lounges and tables. Both offer great views and a great place to relax with coffee in the mornings or a drink at night.

We’ll be back next year
This is a beautiful property with everything you need. The kids couldn’t decide if the beach or pool was better Night time walks on the beach was a favorite and watching the fishermen and getting to touch the baby shark was a hit. Of course finding sharks teeth ranked right up there. The manager was great. She walked us thru everything and was available for the few questions that came up during our stay. We were all sad to leave

Relaxing Getaway
This was our third time staying at Daydream Believer and we couldn’t have been happier! We love staying at this property and always feel so welcome and at home. The house is so well stocked and every touch from the decor to the beach towels feels so thoughtful. The house is in a great location on the beach, close to restaurants/shops/the coffee house, and has everything we needed, whether that be a drying rack in the laundry room or the best olive oil! Thank you so much for hosting our family! We hope to see you again in the future.

ANNUAL FAMILY VACATION
Daydream Believer is an awesome vacation home! Our favorite features of the home are the very comfortable upper deck for viewing the ocean and beach, the nice pool and adjacent lounge area with both sun and shade areas, the excellent kitchen and eating area which are very well stocked and arranged. Everything is perfect for vacationing!

Magical 2 weeks at Daydream Believers
We went to Holden Beach with lots of friends and family for a 10-year anniversary trip. Let me tell you this house felt like another member of our family. From the moment we walked, in it felt luxurious and special. The location is amazing. The views are incredible. The meticulous details will blow you away. The homeowner has clearly gone out of their way to make this house accommodating and welcoming for all of its guest. Do not hesitate. Book this house. You will not regret it.

Best Home on Holden Beach
I would give this home ten stars if possible! This was our second year and look forward to making more memories there in the upcoming years. With 14 family members; 8 adults and 6 children, the home offers enough room for everyone to have private space for reading a book or areas for gathering. It is immaculately clean and well kept. The kitchen is equipped with EVERYTHING we needed for cooking all of our meals in. Dining was enjoyable on the large table and massive bar area for the kids. It truly feels like being on a resort with all of the wonderful amenities. Our grands are 4-11, with four being 8 yrs old. When parents were on the beach and a parent at the pool, it was safe for them to independently go back and forth from beach to pool. Additionally, with the home so close to the beach, they could walk on the beach in the evening while we watched from the upper deck. The owners gave amazing attention to the upscale décor used throughout the home while also keeping it very comfortable. The bedrooms are large with good mattresses on the beds! I have only touched the surface of describing this amazing home and feel very blessed to spend our family vacation there.

Family reunion
Nine adults and three children with plenty of room for us all. Although there were several places that needed repair, we enjoyed the third floor great room/kitchen to the fullest. The porches were perfect for reading and watching the ocean. The pool was great since the beach is strewn with shells and hard to walk on. We had a wonderful time.

Great Property.
All in all, it was a great vacation and fantastic property. It was an amazing ocean front retreat, as advertised. The entire family was very comfortable. I have never seen a better stocked kitchen! The reason for only 4 stars on the cleanliness was because the pool area was not completely cleaned before our arrival. We had to clean the grill and table by the grill, the outside table and chairs needed cleaning, and there was garbage left in the garbage can on the pool deck. We had to clean these areas. The house was fine. Some downsides included a non-working hot tub and challenges with the elevator (waiting for parts so it was a bit unusual to enter the elevator). As I said, it was a great vacation, and we will possibly stay there again.

A HOME NOT A HOUSE
Our family takes a multi-generational vacation every 2 years. This house accommodated us all very comfortably. It's the most beautiful home. No detail has been missed to make your stay your home away from home, from the towels to the wifi ports in all the rooms, to the wonderful mattresses. The bedrooms are large with lots of floor space, if you have babies. This is the most incredible home.

The Perfect Beach Escape
I do not know where to start! We had the perfect extended family week together and this gorgeous home was part of that reason. This home is perfection in every way. It has incredible views and porches with the best furniture to enjoy family time or read a book. It is very clean and easy to keep clean. The kitchen is the most well stocked I have ever seen in a VRBO or beach rental. Every room & bathroom is decorated in a beautiful way with comfortable and useable finishing touches. The bedrooms were quiet and all of the beds were comfortable. These owners have literally provided everything and more you didn't know you needed. Their house manager is kind & responsive. Holden Beach has been my happy place since I was 6 years old and this house is a true gem.

Perfect house for big gatherings!
We had a group of 11 family members at the house for a week in July, and it was wonderful! This house is perfect for large groups. It’s meticulously clean home and has a wonderfully equipped kitchen. Plus, every bedroom has on en suite bathroom, which was super convenient for our group. The pool and decks were also huge a huge hit, and the house manager was super responsive and helpful.

Fun in the sun at Holden
This property exceeded our expectations from the beginning. Perfect size for our big group; large bedrooms; excellent set up at pool; and great family room / kitchen. When not at pool or beach, we relaxed on covered deck facing the ocean. Tried to book this property again for same time next year, but too late! Highly recommend!

Beautiful, light filled beach home with all the amenities.
14 of us, ages 14 to 77, had enough space in this beautifully appointed home to either gather together or slip away from one another. A fully stocked kitchen provided 4 families, each with their own food preferences, the ability to navigate around each other in the spacious kitchen. The management of this home was easy to work with & very responsive to our needs & questions.

Wonderful Family Beach House
Our family loves coming to Holden Beach for our annual family fall vacation and this year was fabulous thanks to our stay at Daydream Believer! This home has it all! The furnishings are top notch, the location is great, and we could not have enjoyed our stay more. The top of the line kitchen with double oven, 2 full size refrigerators, and any cooking item you could possibly need made it so that we could cook every meal at home if we wanted to. The nugget ice maker and wine chiller added an unexpected but much enjoyed touch! The heated pool provided hours of non-stop fun for the kids when the ocean water was too cold. There were ample beach/pool toys for the kids to play with. The hot tub was great for the adults. I could go on and on about all the wonderful things about this place. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

This home is more beautiful than what the pictures show. We had plenty of room with us traveling with our children and grandchildren.

Great House
We were looking for a house for the whole family which included parents, children and grandchildren. This house was recommended by a friend and was perfect. We had 6 bedrooms, all with bathrooms inside and one of the rooms slept 4 teenage boys. The location was close to the restaurants and facilities both on and off the island and the views from the house to the beach were great. The pool and hot tub were also important and well used. The beach in this area was not crowded and we were able to enjoy it. We rented a tent for the beach and were able to access the beach and pool easily. The house was delivered clean and on time and it came with what was promised. We had one issue during the stay and Gina took care of it efficiently. We would recommend this property and hope to visit again in the future.
