    Stay was great. House is very nice and accommodating. Clean, updated, very nice. Have to get better WiFi though. Both myself and my wife are business owners and with 4 young adults in the house with us, it made it near impossible to do work unless they were at the beach. LOL. But that's only suggestion I'd make. Place was really great.

    I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this house, but when we walked it met all of my expectations and more. The house was clean. The beds were soft. The walk to the beach wasn’t terrible. The rental agent was super responsive and checked on us throughout the week. I hope we can make it back down to Living the Dream again soon!

    Great house. Very comfortable. Short walk to the beach. Could even drive and park to make it shorter. Very clean

    We had the best time staying at Living the Dream. We stayed for 3 nights. We went to the beach each day and ventured into Gulf Shores to eat some while we were there. When we weren’t eating at local restaurants we cooked in the kitchen. Our 2 kids and their friends enjoyed the games that were there for use. The house was decorated beautifully and it was very clean when we arrived. We would definitely recommend this property.

    We spent a week here in early May, 2022. The house is very well laid out in an open plan with bright decorations and furniture. The kitchen is well laid out with many small appliances and tools. There are ample chairs and toys for the beach, about 200 yards away. We thoroughly enjoyed a quiet vacation with the children.

    Open concept kitchen and living area are amazing. Lots of empty cabinet space for groceries to be stored. Easy walk to the beach. This is our second year and hope to be back next year.
