Vacation in Luxury
Vacation like a celebrity when you book Dear Summer... (formerly Victorian Fan Ta Sea). Once featured on TLC's Jon & Kate Plus 8, this sizable Victorian-style rental is the ideal place to bring the whole family (and your four-legged best friend!) for a calming hideaway. Less than 500 yards to the beach, a day of fun in the sun is just a short walk away.

Pull up to your beach bungalow and park underneath one of two single-car carports and savor plenty of outdoor space to store your beach gear. Summers get hot in the OBX so you and your family will adore relaxing around in the humongous (16' x 32') Private Pool and appreciating some friendly competition at the Ping Pong Table. A comfortable Game Room with a half bath is the ideal place to pull out your favorite board game or have some fun with the Pool Table and Foosball Table. The convenient Wet Bar with a drink refrigerator ensures snacks and cool drinks are at your fingertips. The laundry area is also located on this level.

Walk upstairs to the first level and enter into a huge, decorated entry. Rest comfortably in one of the 2 King Bedrooms or the plush Queen Bedroom. The Bunk Bedroom down the hall is a great place for the kids to hang out with a Pyramid Bunk and a Twin-Over-Twin Bunk Bed. Two Full Bathrooms are located between the bedrooms. Savor your peaceful, calming mornings sipping coffee on the enclosed sundeck with a ceiling fan. Outside, the deck swing is the ideal place to chill after a long day of fun and there is plenty of covered deck space that wraps around the front and side of the home if you prefer to sit in the shade.

The great room on the top floor features a half bath and a giant dining room with seating for ten around the table. The modern kitchen is a great place to prepare up your favorite meal and includes updated appliances, a coffee station with a drip coffee maker as well as Keurig and espresso, a blender, iron, ironing board, and a pantry closet for all your beach snacks. Take a seat in the delightful family room full of bright, natural light, so you can savor the sun even when it's too hot to sit directly outside, and take a nap on the sleeper couch. A raised living room area on this level features a TV, fireplace, and tons of seating so the whole family can spend some time making memories together. An inviting King Master Suite with Full Bath completes the top level. Soak up the sea breeze and appreciate striking ocean vistas from the outdoor decks wrapping around the side of your beach home. For ultimate serenity, take a dip in the bubbly hot tub under the covered outdoor gazebo complete with exceptional vistas.
