About this property

Dream Big Beachview Family Reunion House w Big Pool plus FREE Acitvities and Golf

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.

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 private pool that can be heated from October to May for $60 per day and outdoor gathering space with grills and seating for outdoor dining. 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.

Great stay!

Awesome property! Everything was perfect. The only complaint we had was the mosquitoes around the property. Definitely need citronella candles around the pool at night. Not sure what else can be done because of the time of year and the foliage around the property.

Great property for a large group!

We had such a great stay at Dream Big House! Beautiful and clean house. Came with a softball team and the girls loved hanging by the heated pool and in the big open living spaces too. Kitchens were well stocked with everything we needed to cook with while there. A/C was out on one side of the house when we arrived and issue was fixed and handled very quickly. Easy to get in touch with those in charge. We will definitely be returning!

Family Reunion. Dream Big

The Dream Big was wonderful for our family of 37. We had 30 sleeping at the house. Of our 30, 12 were under 12 years old. The arrangement of the house gave us room without feeling crowded. It was amazing, noise level was good, pool was excellent, beds were comfortable for all! Would highly recommend for large groups. 5 stars

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!

"Dreaming Big Pays Off"

Great Family vacation that included a total of 16 participants, three of which were eight or under. Great and easy beach access. Beautiful well kept pool. House included an elevator which was great for unloading and loading. Great open area for gathering and eating. All rooms had balconies with either bay or ocean views. Very close to entertainment and restaurant venues. Only two minor opportunities... improve the drainage for 3rd floor bathrooms...sinks are a little slow and it's probably time to upgrade the outdoor furniture (love those Adirondack chairs hint, hint).

Best Vaca Surprise EVER!

We surprised our parents with a week at Dream Big! 20+ family members from 6 to 76 years old! Everyone had plenty to do.. the pool was used daily by all and was a big hit! Our parents were able to spend time with all of us throughout the week, which is something they rarely get to do. We are spread out from Seattle to Washington DC, so this was the first time this many of the family were able to get together EVER. Don't know of a better place to have done so than Dream Big! Thanks GSVR! You are awesome!

Cuzz trip

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property need a lot of general maintenance/up keeping. For example, the room I stayed in the tub shower head leaked and I’m not talking about a drip, the tub faucet was loose and just moved all around. The toilet took five minutes to fill the tank. The sink was stopped up. Several of the other guests with me said they had the same problems along with report of roaches. The doors entering the down stairs were in bad shape. This was our third year to stay in this condo and not sure we will be returning!!!!!

Family Time Christmas

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have a wonderful time in this home. Plenty of room for children to roam and play and still have a place where adults could visit without interruption. We paid for the pool to be heated and it was cold so we missed a day of swimming before the pool people came. We had 27 people from 6 months old to 80 years old. Everyone agreed that would like to repeat the adventure.

Under construction and unsafe for my family

I booked this property in March of 2024 for our family of 35 to stay for the week of Thanksgiving 2024. When we checked in to the property we did a double take as the property had a 60 ft boomlift/ piles of siding and a portapotty out side. With in the first 24 hours at this property we had maintenance out 3 times. Loose railings, faucets, falling off of walls, mold, coming through air vents balconies that were inaccessible because they didn’t have railings nails and screws all through the parking area. I will be reaching out to the property management because my family wants explanations as to how they put us in this property if it was under construction with small children in our group.

About the host

Hosted by Our Team at Gulf Shores Vacation Rentals, Inc

Host profile image
Gulf Shores Vacation Rentals is a locally-based, family-owned, professional vacation management company. We specialize in large homes, mainly beachfront with 6-12 bedrooms, and most with private pools. During your stay we have a team ready to assist, 7 days a week, should you need assistance, Thank you for considering our homes for your next beach vacation.

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.
