Map & Owner's Profile
Beautiful Beach House - Private Pool - Great Views
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Homes, Single Family
My husband lived in Fort Morgan when he was in high school. His family home was about 2 miles from where our house is now. It was taken out by Hurricane Fredrick in 1979. It was like coming home for him. Also, since I sell real estate in the area it was easy for me to know the exceptional value, wonderful privacy and the tremendous beauty of the Fort Morgan Area.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The privacy and the beautiful white sandy beach is just the beginning. The pool is a wonderful bonus. Then you add the wonderful sunsets and just sitting on the deck in the wonderful chairs (my husband built) watching the dolphins and shrimp boats. It truly is "Paradise" on Pleasure Island - as all the locals call the it.
Owner's Map of Homes, Single Family
We live in Fairhope, AL. I sell Real Estate in the beach area and my husband is a pilot for FedEx. We have a beautiful 5 year old daughter and a large extended family. When we bought "Dream Big" the year after our daughter was born. She truly was the answer to our prayers and our "Big Dream" come true.

One word to sum up this vacation house and location. PERFECT. I took my family last May 2010 and had a wonderful family vacation. I grew up vacationing at Fort Morgan and told my wife how beautiful and seclude this part of Gulf Shores can be. Beaches not crowded,plenty of seashells to find, and surf fishing is easy. You will not have to deal with all the traffic or a highway full of cars. Wonderful place to unwind and recharge your batteries. We are homebodies and this place will fit perfect for that type of family. We cooked in every night, (wonderful fresh sea food shops close by at great prices ), and grilled by the pool also. The grill is an extra bonus for guys who like to grill. Beach is a short walk and not crowded, we left our chairs out for a couple of nights on the beach. Can't say enough about DREAM BIG. Already have it booked again this coming season. Thanks to the McDonalds generosity, I have the opportunity to show my family what a wonderful place Fort Morgan is and hopefully will always be. Thanks for the wonderful week and memories with more to come in 2011

We had such a great time last weekend at this house! The house is great and the location is superb! The water was crystal clear and the beach was immaculate. My husband and I came down for a long weekend with our 4 and 5 year old boys. They were in love. They loved their room and really loved the direct tv that had every kids channel under the sun (even the ones we don't let them watch, but hey, we're on vacation!). We had my 4 year old's birthday party on Saturday and had our entire family down there and it was just perfect. Even though the pool water was frigid, the kids still swam and had a blast while the adults enjoyed happy hour and grilled out. The deck was perfect for happy hour and the front porch was perfect for morning coffee! We will definitely be back again soon! Thanks so much!

Dream Big is a perfect vacation getaway. It is tastefully decorated and VERY CLEAN! The pool was a great bonus and our entire family of 10 were very comfortable during our stay. We are looking forward to returning for another visit very soon. Brenda was so very helpful and stayed in contact with us when needed. We would highly recommend this property to others! Thanks for another year of great summer memories for the Chauvin Family. Chackbay, Louisiana (June 2010)

The McDonald's home is private for a family and has access to the beach and a pool. My children enjoy the pool on the back deck more than the beach and ocean. We love staying at this beach house and hope it will be a family tradition for us from now on. I highly recommend it to all who love a quiet family time at the beach. You also are only 15 to 20 minutes from downtown Gulf Shores if you want access to shopping and amusement parks. We love it.

Dream Big was the perfect location for a girls week celebrating our 50th birthdays and over 30 years of friendship. The house was perfect - a place where you can feel the good karma, which enhanced the entire experience. It was wonderful and we really appreciate you sharing your home and helping to make our time together so enjoyable, it's a preciouos memory we'll always have. I have a feeling we'll be back.

We had a great time at "Dream Big." We got married during the week and spent the rest of the week there for our Honeymoon. We loved the place! The pool was awesome and so was the beach. The weather was perfect for your wedding! Ms. Brenda was very easy to get in touch with if I had any questions or needed anything. Great place to vacation! Can't wait to go back!

We just returned from another wonderful vacation at Dream Big. This is the third year we have vacationed here. The house is perfect; the pool is great; and the beach is only steps away. The McDonalds are great to work with and we thank them for sharing their wonderful home with us. It is a long drive for us but we look forward to returning again. We would gladly recommend this home to anyone looking for a great relaxing vacation.

My family and one other family stayed in the Dream Big house earlier this month. There was a total of 7 of us and we all really enjoyed our stay. This was the first time my kids had been to the beach and they truely enjoyed it. The house was roomy and very nice. There were other people on the beach when we went but we were so spread out that we didn't have to worry about our kids bothering other vacationers. The pool was excellent and a true bonus to the house. The owner was very prompt in returning emails/phone calls and was very helpful. We will definately stay at Dream Big again.

I have stayed at this home twice.It is absolutely wonderful. The last time I was there was May 19-May 24, 2009 for a girls trip. We enjoyed it so much we plan on making it a yearly event. The views are gorgeous! And the private pool can't be beat! The beach is so private, not at all like the crowded beaches of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. We were able to relax and de-stress from our jobs. Thanks so much to the McDonalds for sharing their beautiful beach house with us!!!!

We stayed at this wonderful home in May 2009. It is the MOST relaxing vacation I think we have had. The home is absolutley beautiful and just a few feet from the gulf. Very peaceful. It was fantastic!!!! Brenda was most helpful and returned all calls and emails. We do plan to come again. Thanks..
