We built Dream Big as a vacation rental house with our large extended family in mind and call it our "family-reunion house". So many other families liked it that we built a second one. IF THE DATE YOU ARE SEEKING IS NOT AVAILABLE, PLEASE CHECK OUR OTHER LARGE DUPLEX. Lemonade Stand is vrbo #159612.

Dream Big has 6 bedrooms, 5 baths and 3,500 sq feet per side. Rent one or both most times of year. Both together for summer weeks & groups.

Great duplex with lots of room to bring the whole gang. This is a great place for large families, family reunions, corporate and church retreats and wedding parties who want to come enjoy Gulf Shores beautiful sugar-white beaches. Summer rentals are Saturday-Saturday only. For events you must rent both sides and request approval from us.

Each side of Dream Big has 6 bedrooms, 5 baths and 3500 square feet spread over three floors. Everyone has some space of their own. Convenient West Beach area of Gulf Shores location 2.5 miles west of Highway 59--close to everything but away from the condominiums and crowds. Located on the north side of Beach Boulevard, directly across from the beach. Duplex has its own pool and large deck for lounge chairs.

First floor has family room with TV/DVD, games, and beverage kitchen plus two bedrooms, two baths and a laundry right where you come in from the beach or pool. The second floor has a large living and dining area plus a kitchen with a big island and Two dishwashers. You will also find a bedroom and bath here. The third floor has three bedrooms each directly adjoining one of two baths. All floors have decks on the Gulf and pool/Little Lagoon sides.

Dream Big duplex has luxury details including granite in the kitchen and baths, tile floors throughout, and lots of windows. Each side has 2 refrigerators, 2 dishwashers, and 2 full laundry rooms.

This is not your ordinary Gulf Shores vacation rental beach house! We have lots of extras so you can make yourself comfortable. One of our biggest compliments is when families tell us they never thought they would have a chance to relax with everyone staying together but with the spacious bedrooms, abundance of porches, separate family rooms and large pool area, they loved their stay. We hope you'll love your stay with us, too!

    • The house was wonderful!!!! We enjoyed being able to have a lot of space (it really helped when you have children). The kids and the adults loved having access to our own pool!!!! The house is beautifully put together and we loved the gourmet kitchen it was like being at home!!!! Thanks again and we will for sure be coming back for another visit!

    • The Dream Big duplex was the perfect house and location for Camp Smile-A-Mile to take 20 teens and 5 adult chaperones on our annual teen trip this past October. The house is absolutely beautiful, accommodating and perfect for large groups. The kids loved the private pool and each bedroom has a balcony! The kitchen is fully stocked with utensils, cooking pans, plates and cups. It was clean and well kept for a rental house. We enjoyed our stay and we will be back!

    • Although the pictures listed here are not for the Lemondade Stand (they must be for Dream Big), the accomadations are awesome! My entire family which consisted of 23 rented the entire house and it was WONDERFUL! There was so much space - we could be together yet could each have our own space when we wanted it. The pool is absolutely heavenly! Our girls grew up at the pool - were on swim team and eventually became lifeguards and pool managers. So - our family LOVES the water and this pool had it all! The little kids had their own "kiddie pool" and there was room for all. The balcony's are great and the picnic area served us well. We would recommend this to anyone and will definitely be making a return trip back here. Thank you Susan for sharing your wonderful house with us!! P.S. My 81 year old mother weathered the steps very well - she felt very comfortable climbing up outside with the double railings. It worked out great even though an elevator would have helped. But she made it and loved every minute of it! THANKS AGAIN!!

    • Susan - all our family wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed staying at Dream Big. It was an absolutely beautiful home to vacation in. The pictures that are on-line do not do it justice. Everything was neat, clean, comfortable and modern. We all said several times during our stay that we had never stayed anywhere as nice before. We were a little hesitant about being across the road from the beach, but it turned out to be no problem at all. Everything was convenient. The pool area was beautiful, also. We all hope to make this an annual trip and we certainly want to come back to this home! Thanks for a great fall vacation! Jan Baughn

    • Susan - My family and I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed renting the Big Dream house in August of 2007. We had a fantastic time and the home is absolutely beautiful and it is VERY clean and well maintained. My parent's rented the home and all three of us kids now have our own families (5 kids under the age of 3). Having said that, there was so much room in this house! When we wanted to all be together we could and when we wanted to spend time with our own family we could just go to another area of the home. My parent's want this to be an annual trip for all of us, so you'll be hearing from us again! Thanks again for sharing your spectacular home.
