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!
