About this house rental
This magnificent home was built in 2013 as a private residence to entertain friends and family.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This was by far the best equipped beach home we have ever rented. From the amazing gourmet kitchen, to the pool, to the thoughtful added touches everywhere, it was a wonderful week making memories for our children, and especially, our grandchildren!!

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!

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. The kitchen was well equipped and stocked with all that we needed to have family dinners. The house is right on the beach so we had a great views. This is a home that is well taken care of, and Gina the property manager took care of all of our needs.

I can’t say enough about this property. From 5 “master” suites, to the pool, to direct access to the beach, you can’t ask for more. The property was clean, cared for and the host was accommodating. I highly recommend this home for any size family or a multi-family vacation.

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.

It is so meticulously furnished that it is almost impossible to not feel like it is your home!! Please, if you choose to stay here, treat it gently as we will be back every year!

This is our second time renting this property. We have vacationed to the Carolina Beaches for the last 40 years and this is one of our favorite homes we have rented! This home is meticulously maintained and equipped with literally everything you could possibly think of! The attentiveness of the property manager is like none we have ever experienced. Beautiful home, beautiful pool, beautiful beach….. couldn’t ask for anything more!

We visited in mid-July with our family ranging in ages from 6 months to 64. The house was exactly as described and was extremely nice. There were a couple small issues with the house that were handled very quickly by the property manager. We had a wonderful stay and highly recommend this property.

BEST BEACH TRIP EVER!!!!
For over 30 years my family have rented a beach house for a week during the summer. We have stayed at some nice homes, but NONE compare to Daydream Believer! The beautiful décor, large pool, home layout with incredible space and proximity to the beach were just a few things we loved. We had a 3 year old, four 6 year olds and a 9 year old with us that went back and forth from the beach to the pool with adults stationed at the pool and beach, but the kids could easily and safely manage going back and forth alone, which left the adults more time to relax! Perhaps the bunk room was the best feature, as the cousins would go downstairs to gather on a bunk bed to look at books, play games or tell stories....feeling independent while once again allowing the adults to have adult conversation and relaxation upstairs or on the deck. The amenities are too many to mention and our adult children commented that the pictures couldn't really portray the beauty or the many high quality features of this home. The owners seemed to think of EVERYTHING needed for an easy, enjoyable stay at their home! Even though it was somewhat over our budget, I'm so glad we put more money in to have the most amazing beach vacation we have ever had!

Beautiful ocean front home with lots of amenities. Best equipped beach house kitchen.
Disappointed with check in. We were told 4:00pm check in. Couldn’t get into the house till 5:30pm. When we did get in you could see the cleaning process was a little rushed. We had to vacuum one of the rooms as there was toilet paper shards on the floor trailing from the bathroom.
The house required some maintenance and the managers came out that night to fix the problems.
This would have been a 5 star stay if the check in process had been more punctual.

Favorite family getaway!
Our stay at Daydream Believer was even better than we expected! Not only was the home beautiful, it was well-stocked with everything we needed to enjoy home-cooked meals, family game nights, and days by the pool and one the beach. My husband and I were traveling with both of our families, and the house accommodated us perfectly. Everyone had their own space to relax, but the common areas were large enough for us all to enjoy at once. In addition, Gina and the property management team went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. We can't thank Ree, Kevin, and Gina enough for sharing this home with our family and making this vacation one of our family's favorites!
