Great house. Very comfortable. Short walk to the beach. Could even drive and park to make it shorter. Very clean ##### Chase J. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Edi M. 9 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Living the Dream 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! ##### Edi M. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Matt G. 2 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Summer Stay 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. ##### Matt G.

Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brittney E. 16 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### We enjoyed Living the Dream! 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. ##### Brittney E.

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. ##### Scott B. Stayed 7 nights in May 2022 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine T. 30 Apr 2022 #### Very Spacious! 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. ##### Catherine T. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeanne C. 3 Oct 2021 #### Lovely home Everything was fresh and new and clean. Beach items were available, Beach towels, chairs and umbrellas and pull wagon, etc. Not far to the beach and owner was very responsive. ##### Jeanne C. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Pensions Seville](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seville-Pensions.d3312-aaPensions.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [tent Capi Playa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palma-De-Mallorca-Hotels-Tent-Capi-Playa.h3498097.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Málaga](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malaga-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d312-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Wetherby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wetherby-Hotels.d5881.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Lillehammer](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lillehammer-Hotels.d4909.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels with smoking rooms in St. Lucia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-St-Lucia-Hotels-With-Smoking-Rooms.0-0-d168-tHotelswithsmokingrooms.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [The Old Ship Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-The-Old-Ship-Hotel.h870334.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Los Angeles at Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Los-Angeles-At-Beverly-Hills.h300.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Waterpark in Marbella](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marbella-Hotels-Waterpark-Hotel.0-0-d5776-twaterparkhotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Indigo - NYC Downtown - Wall Street by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York-Hotels-Indigo-NYC-Downtown-Wall-Street.h71756627.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Eastbourne Seafront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Eastbourne-Seafront-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-0-d6249080-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights ### Cars ### Activities > [Things to do in Huelva Province](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Huelva-Province.d6046955.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Polis](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Polis.d6025907.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Rothesay Ferry Terminal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rothesay-Ferry-Terminal-Rothesay.d553248635930540560.Attraction) > > [Pala Dean Martin - Congress Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pala-Dean-Martin-Congress-Center-Montesilvano.d649904852783964160.Attraction) > > [Central Vietnam Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Central-Vietnam.d6054377.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Braga Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Braga.d6349.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Snowy Mountains](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Snowy-Mountains.dx6049613) ---
