OCEANFRONT Hatteras — Lighthouse Rd. — A dream catcher’s circular shape symbolizes the uninterrupted flow of life as the moon sets and the sun rises each day. Now close your eyes and imagine a place that inspires you to thrive to a similar cadence. Open them and find yourself at DREAM CATCHER BY THE SEA, a spectacular nine-bedroom/eight-full and two-half bath home where all of your desires for a dream vacation naturally fall into place.

Located in the walkable and bicycle-friendly Hatteras by the Sea subdivision, guests have access to all of its amenities, including a pool, nature walk, and gorgeous beach. But you may find it hard to leave a home that serves as its own private resort. A glass block waterfall lulls the adults into the jetted spa end of a sizable private pool, while the shallow tanning ledge at the other end entices the younger set to make a splash of their own. Rinse off in the outdoor shower after practicing your complimentary throws on the driveway basketball hoop and claim a seat at the shaded poolside bar while you sync up some tunes. Food to go with those drinks? Yes, please, thanks to the poolside gas grille and a full kitchenette with a refrigerator, sink, and microwave located in the adjacent game room. Here you will also find a pool table, foosball table, and a wall-mounted Intelligent TV. Microwave some popcorn and settle in next door, where a 16-seat home theater features a 110” screen and surround sound. Also on this level are a king and queen master bedroom.

Take the elevator to level two and discover five more bedrooms. There are two king master bedrooms with access to an oceanfront deck; one bedroom with two pyramid bunk beds; one with two single beds and another king bedroom with deck access. The laundry room is located on this level as are two full hallway baths, one that features a roll-in shower making it accessible-friendly. A 6-person hot tub on the oceanside deck invites all to savor a relaxing soak to a serenade of ocean waves. Another king master with a jetted tub and private deck access is located on the third level. The final bedroom, a enormous king master suite with a jetted tub and private oceanfront deck is located on the fourth level and is connected to an executive office suite to keep your work/life balance in check. All of the bedrooms feature Intelligent TVs.

It’s on the third level where you'll find the reason everybody is drawn to the spectacular great room —with its impressive ocean vistas revealed from floor-to-ceiling picture windows and a furnished deck that extends the length of the home. There’s room for more than one prepare in the roomy and newly reimagined gourmet kitchen featuring two of everything: oven, stove, microwave, sink, dishwasher, refrigerator, and where a six-seat breakfast bar attracts early risers for that first cup of coffee. Make it a group affair and prepare a feast that can be served at two eight-seat dining areas. After dinner, pull a cold one from the wine cooler in the bar area and wind down the evening at the card table in the sunroom, snuggled on the couch in front of the Intelligent TV or on the deck as the stars take over the nighttime sky. Sound like a dream? DREAM CATCHER BY THE SEA can be a reality by booking it now.

Ben Franklin

Stop by Nags Head's Ben Franklin at Mile Post 10 on the Bypass where you will find everything you need for the beach! From Clothing, T-shirts and Swimwear to Boards, Chairs, Umbrellas and Tackle. You'll find it all…and of course, we have the best selection of Souvenirs anywhere on the Outer Banks. Enjoy your vacation! Independently owned by a member of one of the Outer Banks’ oldest families, the Ben Franklin store is stocked with just about everything a visitor would need to go to the beach.

 

Ben Franklin stores were once part of a five-and-dime retail empire, with about 2,500 locations across the country in its heyday. As decades passed and the times and customers began to change, many closed their doors, leading to fewer than 150 of these nostalgic shops. Nags Head Ben Franklin, however, has withstood the test of time and adapted to the needs of its customers to provide a memorable shopping experience on the Outer Banks.

 

Debbie Terry Tolson, manager of the Ben Franklin location in Nags Head, recalls working with former owner Tommie Daniels. Daniels’ father, Moncie Daniels, started the business in downtown Manteo in the early 1900s. The Daniels family has been a longstanding fixture in the Outer Banks business community—Moncie even sold gas to the Wright brothers in 1903.

 

Tommie, with an excellent business mind, saw the opportunity the new Bypass presented and, in 1977, he opened the Nags Head location of Ben Franklin. He was one of the first businesses on the Bypass,” Tolson says.In addition to a new location, the Ben Franklin store saw a new group of customers.

 

“People would come from all around because Tommie had a little bit of everything—it was more like a five and 10 then,” Tolson explains. “As he went to the beach, he began to get more tourists, so he started catering more and more to visitors.”

 

Today, the 21,000-square-foot souvenir shop quickly catches the attention of anyone driving by thanks to the ocean-themed mural that decorates the façade of the building, painted by local artist Rob Snyder. This Ben Franklin location has become the must-stop shop for both first-time visitors to the area and generations of families who escape to the Outer Banks annually.

 

Tolson credits the great prices and friendly customer service to the success of the location, which keeps families returning.“People come in all the time and tell me, ‘my grandmother or my grandfather used to bring me here and now I’m bringing my children,’” she shares. “One of my favorite parts about working here is seeing the people come back year after year.”
