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.

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! Thank you Stacuy & Brandon

Favorite house in Atlantic Beach

We had the best stay at The Big Dream House. Everything was absolutely perfect! The house was clean and super comfortable. Stacy, the owner was attentive and ready to help or answer any question we had. The cozy sofas were perfect for rainy movie days, and the beds were so comfortable! We had 10 people and plenty of room in the house for everyone. The pool and pool lounge chairs were amazing! The house, furnishings, and linens were so nice and definitely an upgrade from your typical beach house. The Big Dream House has everything you need and has been our favorite rental!

The property is very nice and accurately described. We enjoyed our stay. We had 4 adult couples and 5 kids, so the configuration of the downstairs bonus room really did not comfortably sleep an adult couple, but our teens were fine. The master bedroom is on the top floor and there are 31 steps from the driveway to the top. If you have trouble with stairs or you are elderly , this may be a challenge. We did know that this was on the top floor, we just didn’t anticipate the number of steps.The property is very well supplied in the kitchen and the garage has everything you need for a day at the beach. The pool is also nice. It doesn’t have a hand rail when going down steps to enter the pool so that can possibly challenge an older couple. It is nice to have the pool to jump into in the afternoon after lugging beach supplies back. The house was very comfortable for our family and there was a closet filled with games which was also nice.The walk to the beach is not long and the host does supply wagons and backpack beach chairs. However, when pulling the wagon at the public access the sand is very deep so we found this to be very challenging and tiring as an older couple. However walking to the beach just to take a stroll wasn’t bad but it was a bit of a tiring lug for all of the couples in our crew, even our kids who are ages 25-45, when pulling a loaded wagon.The host communicated well, the house was clean and well supplied. We enjoyed our stay.

Big Rock 2024

The “Big Dream” was exactly that! The home was gorgeous! Very clean and well maintained! The neighborhood was quiet and close to many things. The pool was clean and refreshing! We all felt comfortable and not crowded while enjoying our time together. The majority of our stay, we cooked at the home in which the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed! The absolute best part, in my opinion was the host Stacy! From the time we booked until the day of our departure she was readily available to answer any questions that we had. Stacy made the process of renting, checking in, everything in between and the departure so easy! That says a lot to me! We hope to return in the future to make more memories!

Best Home Away from Home!

The Big Dream Getaway was everything and more for our family of 13 (10 adults and 3 children ages 4, 7, & 9) who gathered from Texas and NC. The home is well furnished with very comfy beds and furniture throughout. The kitchen is well stocked and amenities galore to include hair dryers in each bath. The laundry equipment is wonderful. This home has ample space for indoor and outdoor gatherings giving everyone room to breathe along with a heated pool which was the favorite area for the kids and adults alike. It is a short walk to the beach, but all kind of beach items are provided for you! Our host, Stacy, is great to work with and responds quickly to any questions. So much love eludes throughout this wonderful home. Check-in and Check-out was seamless. Location is great; easy to get to and convenient for our busy agenda and needs. Should we need to come back to this area in the future, this home will be our choice. The Warren Girls and families fell in love with The Big Dream!! It was hard to leave behind... Mary Ann

A perfect place for our family to gather

We just finished a lovely week at the Big Dream Get Away, with 11 from our 3 generation family from across the world. The house was on a quiet street with a sense of privacy, despite the houses being close together. The interior spaces within house were lovely and our group enjoyed being all together on the front porch, back deck, living area, dining area, and also in the pool and its surrounding deck with shade in the morning and late afternoon. The bedrooms are delightfully decorated and well equipped with linens. My only note would be about the pull out couch on the ground floor room not being optimal for a couple (better for kids with young backs!). The location allowed us to easily reach the nearby public beach access on foot (10 min) or bike (3 min) and also to access all of the benefits of Atlantic Beach (also by bike), Emerald Isle and Morehead City. Stacy was very responsive with any question or needs. For example, we had items magically appear on the front porch a few times when we couldn't locate certain things! The extremely well equipped kitchen had more than ample utensils, pots, pans, glasses and plates for our group, as well as had a ton of standard items needed for cooking (spices, etc). Thank you, Stacy, for hosting us!!

Amazing Home

We have been renting homes for summer vacations for about 25 years. The Big Dream Getaway was the best by far. The decor was beautiful. I have never seen a rental home provide so much for its guests. They had a lot of bikes, beach wagons, beach chairs, boogie boards, pools towels, games, etc. Most surprising, though, was how stocked the kitchen was from all the spices, pancake syrup, oil, baggies of all sizes, foil, and even ketchup in the fridge. They had shampoo, conditioner, soap, toilet paper, etc. I brought many items from home that weren't necessary. We'll know next time. We were there during the tropical storm so we only got to go to the beach once. We were able to use the beautiful pool. The pool was cleaned twice during our stay, which is more frequent than other homes we've stayed in over the years. The only slight change I would suggest is to change the listing from 5 bedrooms to 4 bedrooms. There is a nice bonus room with a pull-out sofa, but I wouldn't consider that a bedroom. Our family, including our pets, had a wonderful experience. Stacy is so kind, thoughtful and attentive to every detail. We would love to go back.

House worked well for us and was well-stocked. Pool was incredible. Beds were super comfortable and area was quiet. Would recommend! Walk to closest public access to the beach from the house would be a fast-paced 7-minute walk. Otherwise would recommend driving 1 mile up the road where there is free parking next to the DoubleTree hotel and a public access spot. Ft Macon State Park also has free parking is a straight shot 3.5-mile drive from the house and has facilities like showers and restrooms.

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!
