Here to Dream Overview

The Here to Dream beach house is located directly on the sugar white sands of the emerald waters. Looking out across the Gulf, this dream home will provide the most incredible views along this perfect and private beach. From inside the house, and from both decks, you can see to the east and the west as far as the eye can see. This is the best view of any property on the beach. The pristine sandy beach offers miles of options for walking, shelling, running, jogging, crabbing, swimming, snorkeling, paddle boarding and kayaking.

This 2000 square foot oceanfront beach house has a combination of classic and traditional beach charm. The upper and lower decks allow guests to take advantage of the cool sea breezes, beautiful sunrises and breathtaking sunsets. All while drinking your morning coffee, a tall glass of lemonade, or a glass of wine. The decks will bring you endless hours of quality family time or a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy your favorite book.

Once inside Here to Dream, the modern-laid back décor sends a warm invitation to our guests. It welcomes them with bright vivid colors schemes of reds, blues and greens across an airy living room. The wall of tall, glass panel windows provides you with a constant view of the ocean. The kitchen creates a beach cottage vibe and comes fully loaded with everything you need for entertaining. The spacious, classic white dining area has a separate sitting area, sliding glass doors for beach access and more incredible views.

This beach house has four bedrooms and can sleep up to ten guests. The Master has a King size bed. The first guest bedroom has 1 Queen size bed. The second guest bedroom has a King size bed. The third guest bedroom contains 2 sets of twin bunk beds and the living area has 2 Queen Sleeper sofas. Each bedroom has a classic nautical beach house vibe. The home has 3 bathrooms.

If you need extra room for entertaining or just want a place to engage in thought there is an additional lower floor under the house that includes a swing and a picnic table.

All our properties are professionally cleaned and maintained (please check our reviews). Our Property manager-Demetri has a wonderful reputation with our all our guest. If you need anything day or night he will go the extra mile to accommodate all your needs.

Here to Dream can make all your dreams come true. So close to the water it is a total surreal experience. If you are planning the perfect family vacation or a beautiful beach wedding this is YOUR destination.

This charming coastal town with it’s something for-everyone mentality has become a favorite spot for families gathering each year. Not only is it a great summer destination, it is also a great fall and winter destination.

Gulf Shores has everything to offer for your dream vacation, family reunion or needed getaway. The coast not only treats you to beaches and water sports, it also has incredible boating and fishing opportunities. It has some of the best surf fishing in the area. There is pier fishing, or charter a boat, and fish the largest artificial reef program in the country. We will be happy to provide you with useful fishing information for your stay.

If you want to do some amazing sight seeing, spend a day on one of the many dolphin cruises. You may want to discover a whole new world under the surface of the Gulf of Mexico. Try diving and exploring The LuLu, a sunken freighter, or investigating the fishing reef up close. If you want to explore from the air, take a helicopter ride with Orange Beach Helicopters or grab a balloon ride and get a new perspective of the island. It is AMAZING!

The area offers many attractions including nature trails like the Alabama Coastal Birding Trail (don’t forget your binoculars) or a series of bikeways for exercise. Some of the popular attractions in the area are the USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park, Pensacola Lighthouse and museum, National Mus

Comfortable and private beachfront location!

Family of 7 including a 2 year old had everything we needed here. The kitchen was fully stocked with all necessary cooking and dining ware/appliances. The balcony porch was spacious with lounging options for any time of day (rain or shine). Our host was very attentive as we prepared to arrive and made sure we knew everything necessary to settle in quickly and comfortably. Excellent experience all around!

Restful retreat

We had a great week. The weather was beautiful. The ocean breeze was so nice we didn't want to go inside in the evening. Just a couple of minuses. There is no covered porch to enjoy the ocean when it's raining. A small railing on the lower steps would be helpful for people who are less mobile. But the welcome from Metri was great! We thoroughly enjoyed the key lime pie. He gave us so much information and was extremely helpful. We hated to leave.

Relaxing property

If you’re looking for a quiet, relaxing beach experience, this place is it! We also loved the 2 charcoal grills and used them almost every day. Our host was responsive and checked in the day before our arrival and during the stay. Awesome experience.

Would definitely stay again

This was an excellent home for a family vacation. The house was clean and comfortable, offering amazing views of the ocean. There was so much thought put in to the comfort of each guest, with beach chairs and sand toys available on the lower deck to enjoy on the beach. I can see us making this our yearly vacation spot.

Wonderful Beach House - Super Clean

We had the absolute best time! Mitri was amazing, he even left us some fresh made pies for our arrival. He was very accomodating to our needs and friendly. We would 100% stay here again. The views from the house & deck were magnificent. It was so easy to take our three small children downstairs to the beach. The dishes, cookware & utensils were in great shape, the bed linens were crisp and clean and our beds were very comfortable. GREAT experience overall.

Cute older flipped house

House is cute. The dining room is the best room for views of ocean. No elevator so unloading and loading contents is rough. Bathrooms are tight with one master on roadside of house. No condiments provided so come prepared. The beach access is perfect as the walk to the waterline is within a minute. Our overall stay was great and we extended one extra night. We would book again.

Excellent

We had an amazing trip, and this house was absolutely perfect for our group of 10. The house was clean and had a great layout for our group. The rooms and bathrooms were a great size, and the main living area and kitchen were extremely large and had everything we needed. The house stayed very cool during the day which was much needed during the summer heat. The location couldn’t have been more perfect. The beach was beautiful, and we also had the most wonderful view from the deck. It was so nice to be right on the water. We saw dolphins from the deck multiple times a day, fished right off the beach, went crab hunting at night, and enjoyed the area under the house when we needed a break from the sun. Metri was wonderful to work with - extremely communicative and helpful with various recommendations around the area. He truly made us feel welcome! We can’t wait to return!

Look no further!

No need to shop…this place is the best. Closest to the beach, zero traffic and noise, and a deck that juts out in front of all others, so you get that killer Gulf breeze for a cool night. Wonderfully remodeled with stainless steel appliances and quartz counters, and a host, who checks in and makes sure everything is up to par. Excellent place, I will 100% be returning again!

Amazing!

We had a great time in spite of the weather being cold! The house has a nice open floor plan so our kids had plenty of room to play. Kitchen was stocked to cook which we did several times. The pie at check in was such a nice touch! It was nice to not have to fight the condo crowd for a spot on the beach!

Perfection!

My sister and I brought our families (3 young adult children and our husbands) here for Spring Break, and we fell in love with the place as soon as we arrived. It’s super cute and extremely clean. The decor is great, and the house is equipped with everything you’ll need. The beds were comfortable, which was especially important because a few of us have lower back issues. The location is perfect because it’s away from all of the crowds but still convenient to shopping and restaurants. The house is right on the beach, so it was so nice not to have to lug a bunch of stuff on the beach. The views from the oceanfront patio were amazing! We saw dolphins nearly every morning and lots of crabs at night. If you like to search for seashells, you can find plenty. Metri, the host, is fantastic! He’s very friendly and highly responsive. He welcomed us on our day of arrival and even brought us a delicious key lime pie from Sarah’s Homemade (which we also recommend). He showed me how to work everything and provided some recommendations on things to do. It was a pleasure to meet him and visit with him. I am already planning to return next year!

Perfect Beach Get Away

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the sixth year we've stayed in a Paradise Gulf Property. Here to Dream is the perfect beach house for three couples. The recent renovations did the impossible, and made it an even better place to stay. And as always, the Property Manager, Metri, is just a phone call away if needed.

This was a great house! We arrived and the house was very clean and there was a key lime pie in the fridge. Metri was very response and we only had one small issue with the house during our stay and he had someone out to fix that day! We had a family with kids, parents, and grandparents and we all enjoyed our stay. The house is located very close to the beach so it made for easy trips back and forth with the kids. We also loved how private the beach was during our stay. We would definitely recommend staying here and will likely come back for another stay in the future!!

Wonderful Beach Vacation

This house was great! There was lots of room for everyone (8) of us age 13-80. All the outdoor seating on the three decks was fantastic and the area under the house with the swing was nice after a long day on the beach. The views were awesome from the dinning table my mom could sit there, in the air conditioning, and watch the dolphins swimming by and all the schools of fish. Metri was wonderful, checked in on us and brought us a wonderful Key lime pie. With the terrible COVID-19 virus all over it was nice to get away and have a little fun and relaxation. Can not wait for another opportunity to rent this great place again in the future. It was away from all the crowds and nice and peaceful.
