We had four families staying so it was a large group and we had no problems at all. The ice maker was a nice convenience. The pool was a very easy walk from the house but far enough that we didn't have to worry about any kids finding their way there accidentally. Each bedroom is very generous and has it's own bathroom which was nice for each couple. I was surprised at how quiet the house was, you didn't hear others so we were able to sleep in if we wanted when others were up early. The kitchen is the best stocked in all the beach houses we have stayed in. We took our bikes and drove back toward Gulf Shores about 10 miles and parked and picked up a bike trail (family friendly). We biked to the pier just across from the fire station and had lunch that we had packed while the boys caught hermit crabs on the shore. There is also great night time crab catching on the beach itself at the house! My only advice to renters, and this is no reflection of the house, is to bring a baby gate if you have a little one. There is only one set of stairs in the house off the main floor so really one gate will do if you are trying to keep a crawler away from the stairs. They go up,not down, which is better. We did run to the local grocery which is just down the road from the house but I would recommend stopping on the way in for the bulk of groceries. There are plenty of options just before you turn onto Ft Morgan road.

We held our 15th Annual Family Reunion at Day Dream House and had a wonderful time. There were 9 of us in the house and it came with all the amenities as advertised. There is plenty of space for everyone to enjoy and do their own thing. The beach area is fabulous and wonderful for great walks. When we had questions regarding the property the owner was very responsive and helpful. I would recommend this house.

We had a wonderful week and enjoyed all of the amenities of your beautiful home!! Everything was exactly where you said it would be. The walk to the beach was very short. We had a beach wheelchair for our oldest daughter and basically set up our tent and enjoyed the ocean, the air, the dolphins, the beautiful sand and each other!!

Thank you!!!

We stayed here July 21st week. The house was very clean and we loved that each family had their own bathroom. We had 11 kids and 7 adults and we were very comfortable in the living room and kitchen and in the house overall. Although other houses are just as close to the beach, this one is the first house by the boardwalk, meaning you don't have to walk as far to get to the water. We could watch the older kids play on the beach from the deck. We brought our own beach toys and chairs, but there would have been plenty if we would have used what was at the house. I believe there was a small tent there, but we enjoyed our large tent for shade. Gulf shores was really packed so we enjoyed being away from the crowds. We just made a walmart trip every couple of days or when we would go into town to eat. The little grocery stores provided last minute items that we needed. By the way, try having dinner at the Pines (behind one of the grocery stores) They have delicious food and karaoke. The food was better here than Tacky Jacks. Being the end of summer, the house was showing a little wear-we had issues with the oven door. There was a maintenance man there the whole day one day, replacing lights and fixing other small things. It was kind of annoying, but I'm sure it was necessary; otherwise things would not be repaired. The linens and beds were very comfortable; the AC worked great and we never ran out of hot water-which is huge when you have a big group. Things that we needed: non stick cooking spray, oven mitts, iPod docking station (brought our own) grill tools-big spatula, tongs, etc. We would definitely stay here again!

We found the house easily and it is very well appointed. I can't really say that there are things you would want for (except maybe a knife sharpener). The elevator is a nice amenity when moving luggage throughout the house but is a hazard when kids discover how to operate it. We were able to disable it for much of the stay. The deck on the back is great for lounging. The location is a good distance from Gulf Shores so get everything you need before coming down the strip. Also, because of the condos in the area, the beach can get crowded at times. Get a spot early on Saturday and place your tent to get the best spots. The houses location is very handy to the boardwalk so if your vacation will consist mostly of the beach it's awesome. If you are a pool and beach person, you'll find the pool about 250 yards away. The workout facility is another 100 yards beyond that. The minor issues we had were taken care of quickly by the owner (because of the drought, ants were coming in looking for water) and the house was clean and well taken care of. One last thing, if you're a history fan, the fort is 1.5 miles away and is a great way to spend a few hours.

My husband and I been talking for some time about taking a family vacation, our children, their spouses, and our grand children, thirteen people in all. We couldn't have selected a better place than Day Dream, the decor and amenities made us feel so comfortable. The house was large and allowed for everyone to feel they could escape to their own space if they felt the need. The kitchen provided everything needed to prepare and serve a fine meal and the dining area along with the breakfast bar made it possible for all of us to sit and eat together. We found ourselves eating in for dinner more than expected because from about 4 pm the deck was in the shade and with the breeze off the Gulf it was so delightful no one wanted to leave. It was a sad day when we left, it was our first trip to Gulf Shores but it won't be our last. We are already making plans to return and Day Dream is our place of choice.

My brothers, sisters & siblings have been to this propety or last 2 years. We have truly enjoyed our time here. The beach and ocean were just wondeful this year and the pools allow you to swim easily. The elevator is excellent as a lot of us have difficulty with stairs. The Sunset were beautiful and Tacky Jacks is a great place or breakfast if you don't want to cook.

This home was wonderful. It was well equipped and decorated. Beach access (relatively private) was easy. The beach was ideal for our small grandchildren, with a gentle slope. The owners were a delight to deal with.

We would certainly hope to be able to rent this home again when we return to the area.
