About Susan or BreAnna at Gulf Shores Vacation Rentals
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 Susan or BreAnna at Gulf Shores Vacation Rentals chose Gulf Shores
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 House 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.

We had 12 ladies playing in a golf tournament. We each had our own bedroom which was great and plenty of washer/dryers. Liked the open kitchen area on the middle floor and the 2 kitchens. Would definitely rent this again if we're in the area.

This is the second time we have stayed in Dream Big and we absolutely LOVE IT! There are over 30 of us and the house is perfect for spending time together as a family. Private Pool is an added bonus and the closeness to the beach. Management was wonderful in getting anything we needed done or fixed. We will no doubt be back in the future. Thanks for a great time!
Awesome house for our family vacation of 22 people!!!

Reviewer Comments:
We have stayed at your property once before. The overall experience is great! Your maintenance people very responsive and polite. We felt the house is in need of many repairs this time. Bathtubs spigots coming away from the wall in several bathrooms. Granite ctr in kitchen very loose. Stairs to pool, starting to bow. Mold smell in stairwells, laundry rms...mold on inside of windows, 3rd floor. Love what you did to the kitchens...opening it up and making the one kitchen complete eating area.
Good place for a large family
This property is just a block away from the beach and it's great for a large family to get together.
We appreciate you staying with us! Dream Big is right across from the beach on West Beach Blvd but you do have to go to the end of the block for beach access. Unfortunately the days of sweet neighbors who will let you walk between the houses are largely gone but sometimes guests in those homes will say "no problem" if you ask nicely!
Map
We are located in West Beach, a narrow stretch of land bound by the Gulf to the south, and Little Lagoon to the north. You'll have great views of both. In addition to the normal joys of our sugar white beach, a block and a half to our west is the 'pass', where the Gulf feeds Little Lagoon. The pass offers great fishing and an area that is perfect for kids to hunt for hermit crabs or watch the heron and pelicans in action.
Other Activities: rent a sea kayak, parasail, charter a fishing boat, take a dolphin cruise
Golf: We have 9 signature courses nearby as well as the Gulf State Park Course. You have a nice range of courses located 3-15 miles from West Beach so you can easily try them all!
