Dream Big by GSVR | Beachview Family Reunion Home w/ Big Pool & Elevator + FREE Activities/Golf

Dream Big - Professionally Managed by Gulf Shores Vacation Rentals (GSVR)

It is the perfect getaway for large groups, reunions, or retreats, accommodating 24-36 guests, with a maximum of 30 adults. Located directly across from the beach, this expansive home features a private 18' x 36' pool (heatable from October to May for $60 per day) and an elevator for easy access throughout the property. Originally built as a duplex, it has been thoughtfully redesigned with an open main floor, creating a spacious living and dining area where everyone can gather comfortably. Located in family-friendly West Beach, just 2.3 miles west of Hwy 59—close to restaurants, shops, and attractions while offering a peaceful retreat away from high-rise condos and crowds.

See the 3-D Tour Here: https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=DQQXBE5mZMR

This expansive 12-bedroom home includes nine King suites, each with a TV, and ten bedrooms featuring private balconies with views of the Gulf, pool, or Little Lagoon. With ten full bathrooms throughout, the layout strikes a balance between large gathering spaces and private, intimate retreats.

The lowest floor offers four King bedrooms — two beach-facing, each with a twin daybed and twin trundle, located adjacent to hall baths, and two pool-facing, one of which also includes a twin daybed, each including an attached bathroom. Two family rooms provide extra space for gathering and flexibility, and two laundry rooms add everyday convenience.

The middle floor serves as the main living area, anchored by an expansive living and dining space. These spaces are augmented by a two-section kitchen perfect for multitasking and preparing large meals for the whole group. Two King bedrooms on this level overlook the pool, one of which includes a daybed, each with an accompanying bathroom.

The top floor rounds out the sleeping accommodations with a generous variety of rooms. One King bedroom features a daybed and trundle, and two additional King bedrooms overlook the pool, one with a daybed but both with accompanying baths. A Queen bedroom also offers a daybed and trundle, while two more Queen bedrooms occupy the middle of the floor — the only rooms in the home without balconies. The floor is rounded out with a laundry room for added convenience.

Outside, a large, private heatable pool serves as the centerpiece of the expansive outdoor space, surrounded by a gathering area with charcoal grills, dining space, and plenty of room to lounge. This space is perfect for all your needs. Beach access is just a short walk down the block at 13th Street.

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.

Definitely Recommend

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.

Great stay!

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.

Great property for a large group!

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!

Family Reunion. Dream Big

The Dream Big was wonderful for our family of 37. We had 30 sleeping at the house. Of our 30, 12 were under 12 years old. The arrangement of the house gave us room without feeling crowded. It was amazing, noise level was good, pool was excellent, beds were comfortable for all! Would highly recommend for large groups. 5 stars
