Beautiful house with everything you need. Very comfortable furniture and beds. Master suite is a dream. Pool is amazing! It would be great if there were blinds/curtains on the front windows in the living area to block the afternoon sun and the street light at night. Also, it is a little difficult to cross the main road to walk to the beach.

Beautiful location with great pool

The house is very well stocked with all of the kitchen needs and toiletry items. Pool towels were provided which was a plus for us along with bikes and pool/beach items. The house needs a little maintenance and a deep clean. Our host was very responsive to our needs. Atlantic Beach was a great spot for our family.

Great Rental Home!

Big Dream Getaway was the perfect beach rental for our group of 12! We were here for a destination wedding in Beaufort and the location was so convenient. Stacy was an amazing host - incredibly responsive and helpful from start to finish. The house is beautifully decorated, and had ample room for our three families. The pool was great, and we enjoyed the large porches for morning coffee chats and evening beverages. Stacy added many thoughtful touches throughout, including greenery in vases that added a fresh, welcoming feel to the home. The kitchen and bathrooms were fully stocked above expectations. Easy walk to the beach and plenty of backpack chairs, bikes, carts, and rolling coolers provided. We will return!

Spring break…

We had an amazing time in Atlantic Beach! The house was very clean and fully stocked. It’s such a pleasant surprise when all of the little things are supplied - hand soap, shampoo, laundry detergent, dishwasher pods, aluminum foil, ziploc bags, spices, etc etc. The house was in a great location, we walked 1/2 mile to the Boba shop everyday! The home had a ton of beach supplies and there were over a dozen bikes in the garage. Kids were in the heated pool everyday after spending time at the beach. It really was a great trip! Thanks Stacy.

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.

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!

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!

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

The home was great, comfortable and very accommodating for our family of 12. The pool was a wonderful asset as we spent a lot of time there. The walk to the public beach entry was a little challenging with small children as there was no designated crosswalk across the busy road to the beach. Overall we had a wonderful time and Stacy was a very attentive host.
