Everyone worked. Two of bedroom patio doors would not lock, but we were on the second or the second or third floor so we didn’t expect anybody to come in there anyway the furniture had a little age on it, but it was comfortable. A lot of the furniture looked like they bought in a used furniture store or thrift shop. We would stay there again.
This property was so spacious that my family had a ball. The pool, elevator, the rooms, kitchen spaces, dining space, the balcony, the laundry rooms, oh my we're amazing. Our family was so comfortable. Thank you for all your hospitality.
Everything was clean and available. This is an incredible property we LOTS of room for families. Pool was clean, both kitchens were clean, all the rooms were nice. If we needed a question answered, the management team had a quick response time and maintenance was there quickly. FYI, there is a switch inside the elevator to turn on the lights!!!! Thank you maintenance man....LOL!!
This property was phenomenal! A little confused with the layout on how to access the rooms. Other than that absolutely amazing. We came with a very large party of 33 plus 10 additional people who stayed in local condo/hotel and this house fit us well. We had everything we needed. Very close to everything…beaches, shopping, restaurants, especially Walmart in which we visited at least twice a day during our 4 day trip. I hate we did not get to take full advantage of the pool area as the rain then cool breeze would not let us make. Overall everything was great!
This place is absolutely amazing - we had our college softball team there for three days and it was very spacious, clean and close to everything we needed ! Large groups this place is highly recommended.
This was the perfect place for our family to spend our Fall break. Such a beautiful property! We loved the close beach, enjoyed nearby Fort Morgan, and spent a day on our e-bikes on the trails of Gulf State Park. Highly recommend!
We celebrated a family reunion of three generations and couldn’t have found a more perfect setting. The elevator allowed some of our older and mobility challenged relatives to come and spend quality time with the youngest ones in a great setting. The pool was wonderful and a center of activity. We ate all our meals in and had no problem cooking as the kitchens were very well appointed. The beach is a very short distance away and all the beach chairs you need are there.
Great location in Gulf Shores. If you have young or young at heart and would like to play hide and seek in a home. This is the home.

Remetta,
Thank you for your review! We are so glad to hear you guys enjoyed your stay.
Everything was just like the listing said!! The house was Beautiful, clean and had all of the cooking items you would need to cook anything and everything!!! The elevator was a plus and the views of the ocean were just AMAZING!!! I can’t wait to book again!!!!
We had a great time at Dream Big. The house is well stocked in the kitchen, pool area and beach supplies. One suggestion is to have kitchen and bathroom fixtures repaired!
The place is very spacious and beautiful. My family raved about the balconies and other amenities available. We enjoyed homecooked meals made in the the fully loaded kitchens and on the grill. Everyone had their own space for privacy but the entertainment spaces made it easy to eat and enjoy as a family.

There were 22 of us we we had plenty of room. It is a wonderful home.
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.

We are so glad you enjoyed Dream Big! Thank you for letting us know about the mosquitos--that is not something we often hear about at the beach but it has been a wet late summer.

House was a great setup for us and what we needed. Only thing to make it any better would be adding a jacuzzi. ?? Hope to be back
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!

About the host
Hosted by Our Team at Gulf Shores Vacation Rentals, Inc
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.
