At Elusive Daydream, the beach permeates every moment! This Cape Hatteras home is perched directly on one of the best beaches for surfing, fishing, and swimming on Hatteras Island, with the famed Cape Hatteras Lighthouse less than a mile away. You can even see the lighthouse from the top floor, and watch the light sweep across the ocean at nighttime as you listen to the waves crash from your comfortable living room or bedroom.

The vistas here are spectacular. If you bring your binoculars, you can see the wild waves of The Point. You can also catch regular glimpses of dolphins swimming just offshore and seabirds diving for fish.

The oceanfront great room on the top floor has handsome tongue-and-groove cedar accents, comfortable furnishings, flat screen TV with Roku and Spectrum cable, a gas fireplace, and decks with striking vistas. Sweet dreams await in the oceanfront primary bedroom on this level, which includes an attached bathroom with a jetted bathtub. You can watch the sun rise up out of the ocean without getting out of your queen bed, but you might want to sneak out through a sliding door to the attached deck to get the full effect of the grand sunrise. Head up to the furnished, third-level tower to watch the sun set into the sound. This is also a great place to play games and do puzzles, surrounded by water vistas everywhere you look.

On the first level, there's an oceanfront queen bedroom with an en suite bathroom and direct access to a deck overlooking the ocean. The second queen bedroom on this level also has access to the deck. This room shares a hallway bathroom with the third bedroom on this floor, which has two twin beds and a slider to its own private deck. Sit down to eat indoors in the dining area adjacent to the well-equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar, or head outside to the picnic table on the deck next to the kitchen.

The oceanfront hot tub will help melt your cares away.

You'll have a pool table, a foosball table, and a ping-pong table in the garage for rainy day fun, as well as outdoor shower and high-speed internet.

You will be required to sign an additional lease agreement upon making a booking, which will be sent to your e-mail. You will not be able to check in until we have received your signature electronically. Please contact us directly if you do not receive this agreement.

Tips to get the very best vacation rental experience:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Hatteras area. To get the most suitable rental home for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Hatteras attractions. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, 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 Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Hatteras area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines have deals for local tours and attractions.

Narrow your Search:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and choose a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Oceanfront home with amazing ocean views, hot tub, pool access & ping-pong has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras vacation rental search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available online. If they are not listed, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You will need to determine what is right for your vacation group.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Is your family looking for particular amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Know before you go:

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Make a record of any issues with the property during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if damages are assessed.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on good feedback to propel new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your experience find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
