We loved our week away. Beautiful house. The pool was especially wonderful—- given that we had 6 teens/young adults. We do wish the beach was closer.

Thank you so much for the five star review and I’m so glad you love the pool and the house! It is a six minute walk to the beach across the street and down two blocks. We do have beach carts and backpack chairs to make it easier :-) And we would absolutely love to have you back in the future. Thank you again for staying with us. We truly appreciate it.!!!

Beautiful location with great pool

The house is very well stocked with all of the kitchen needs and toiletry items. Pool towels were provided which was a plus for us along with bikes and pool/beach items. The house needs a little maintenance and a deep clean. Our host was very responsive to our needs. Atlantic Beach was a great spot for our family.

Ashley thanks so much for the wonderful review! We loved having you and so glad you had an amazing vacation! We did address the issues with the cleaning team and did send them back out asap to correct the things they missed such as some dust and behind the sofa sweeping.. There were lightbulbs in the laundry area cabinets as well, We would love to have you back:)

My extended family of 8 adults and 7 kids enjoyed our time at this house. We spent a lot of time using the pool and playing games indoors. The open concept living space was perfect for us.

Perfect for any Beach Getaway!

If you're looking for a place to stay in Atlantic Beach, look no further. The property is beautiful, easily accessible, and close to anything you'd want to do in town. The house is perfect for any group - family with kids or a group of adults looking to get together - and offers amenities to suit any need. The check in/check out process was very smooth and the owners/property managers were quick to respond to questions. Would definitely stay here again!

Great property made for a great stay!

We had an awesome time at this beautiful property! The layout was comfy and functional for extended family socializing, the pool and BBQ were awesome, and there were a lot of helpful things at the rental (kitchen, pool, beach, and games) to make trip planning easy. Stacy was quickly responsive to questions and was able to inform me asap that I had left my AirPods in a drawer before we left the area. Thank you for providing a great place to stay!

Beautiful house with everything you need. Very comfortable furniture and beds. Master suite is a dream. Pool is amazing! It would be great if there were blinds/curtains on the front windows in the living area to block the afternoon sun and the street light at night. Also, it is a little difficult to cross the main road to walk to the beach.

Very special beach vacation rental

My family and I had the best long weekend at Stacy’s beach house celebrating my mom’s birthday. The house has everything you need from cooking essentials to pool floaties to beach chairs and all accommodations were comfy and clean! Having the option of a private pool or the beach really spoiled us. Stacy was so proactive in her communications and also the most hospitable host. Only regret was not booking our stay longer!

Big Dream Happiness and Relaxation

This home is amazing. We were so happy there that we only rode over to the beach 2 times. The host provided everything we needed. This is an amazing property with a beautiful pool. We enjoyed the open concept of the kitchen and living area. This home is exquisitely decorated with all the amenities that you will need. We will look forward to returning soon.

Beautiful home

It’s a beautiful home and so comfortable inside lounging or out on one of three porches. Everything was supplied to make our trip easy. Owner quickly replied to a few requests and questions. No beach access but a short drive away; and limited parking options. Wear an eye mask if you like to sleep past sunrise.

Awesome Vacation House

We loved the Big Dream Vacation House. Everything at the house was exactly as we hoped. It was clean, comfortable. The pool was incredible. We had no problems at all. Stacy was very helpful whenever we had a question. We stayed for a wedding in town. Had extended family over for dinner one night and house has plenty of spaces to hang out. Loved it!
