About this property

Big Living Areas, Heated Pool, Elevator 'Dream Big'! FREE Golf & Activities

Dream Big is a great house/combined duplex for a gathering or retreat. Right across from the beach, with a private pool & elevator. We've renovated the main level so it has one really living room and one big dining room instead of two smaller ones. We think this will work beautifully for our guests! We know how hard it is to find big gathering spaces.

Plus you'll have FREE Golf and Activities every day of your stay to make it even better (value of up to $700/day).

It rents as a whole and has connecting doors on two floors with a total of 12 bedrooms, 10 full baths and lots of room to spread out over 3 floors and 7000 sq feet. The kitchens offer 2 refrigerators, 4 dishwashers, 2 ranges, 2 undercounter ice machines, and there are 4 sets of washers and dryers.

Nice combination of larger common spaces for togetherness, and lots of private bedrooms with porches. The first floor has a family room on each side with a large tv/dvd, games, etc so the kids have a place to call their own.

You'll enjoy an 18'x36' large heatable private pool and outdoor gathering space with grills and seating for outdoor dining. The pool can be heated for $50/day. The pool area is complete with lots of lounge chairs, tables for outdoor dining, and a grill. There are also beach chairs for your use.

Located in family-friendly West Beach, 2.3 miles west of Hwy 59. Away from condos & crowds, still quite close to restaurants, shops & attractions.

We accept reservations UP TO 51 WEEKS before arrival. If the corresponding week this year has not passed, we cannot yet accept your reservation. This year's guests have an opportunity to rebook at the end of their stay.

The first floor has 2 King bedrooms overlooking the pool (1 also has a daybed), plus 2 that have a King plus a Daybed and Trundle (2 twins) facing the beach, and two family rooms, one with a Queen Sleeper.

The middle floor has a large living room, a large dining room, plenty of kitchen space and 2 King Bedrooms one with a Daybed overlooking the pool.

Definitely Recommend
The place is very spacious and beautiful. My family raved about the balconies and other amenities available. We enjoyed homecooked meals made in the the fully loaded kitchens and on the grill. Everyone had their own space for privacy but the entertainment spaces made it easy to eat and enjoy as a family.

Dream Big is where you want to be..........
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place accommodated our Annual Military Reunion with extreme comfort. It was very close to the beach and had a nice outdoor pool setting for the lazy days. The rooms were super clean and comfortable. The common areas were large enough and comfy enough for all 17 of us. Highly recommend for large gatherings.

Great Place!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have a huge family and this house let everyone have their own space yet still be together. It was in a great location and any problems we had, were almost immediately dealt with. The only negative were the dryers - they would not get clothes or towels dry unless ran 4-6 times. We would love to go back!

About the host

Host profile image
Gulf Shores Vacation Rentals is a small family-owned business specializing in large beach houses. We own Dream Big and several other homes here. We also manage other family-friendly vacation homes, primarily in the West Beach area of Gulf Shores. These are all homes that we are in weekly so you are either renting from the owner, or one step away from the owner.

We appreciate you considering a stay with us.
Susan & Geoff Gaberino, Owners, Gulf Shores Vacation Rentals, Inc.

Why they chose this property

We bought this bit of sand with a beachview with a dream of building a place where big extended families like ours could get everyone together. We didn't know at the time that life would lead to our living in Gulf Shores where we now manage our vacation rental homes and those of a number of our neighbors and friends.
We had our duplex When Pigs Fly which is just a few hundred feet from the lot on which we built Dream Big. We love this stretch of family-friendly West Beach where we are just a couple of miles from restaurants & shops, but in an area with just 4 rows of homes between the Gulf on the South, and Little Lagoon on the North.

What makes this property unique

Owning When Pigs Fly, and based on our own growing family which at that time was 18 (grandparents, parents, children), we knew it was hard to find a place where everyone could gather. We could have our family on one side, and the cousins on the other side. We put in the things we like or needed for our family--spaces for the kids, bedrooms that worked for parents with small children, a big pool area, grills, etc.
