Relax and Rejuvenate at Ocean Dreams
Your Perfect Beachfront Escape
Meet Your Hosts
Originally from Nashville, we are proud parents of two amazing children who share our love for travel and the importance of family time. What started as a dream to own vacation homes where families could gather and create lasting memories has now become a reality, and we’re thrilled to share these spaces with you. With over 400 five-star reviews across our properties, we’ve poured our hearts into creating upscale homes that provide the perfect setting for unforgettable stays.
Our journey into vacation rentals is deeply personal. It was inspired by Shelli’s father, who taught us the value of family and the joy of traveling together. He cherished every moment spent with loved ones and friends. After his passing, we decided to name our company in his honor "Duke Vacation Destinations."
Our mission is simple: to offer a warm, welcoming environment where you and your family can make memories just as special as our own. From booking to checkout, we are dedicated to providing a five-star experience, and we can’t wait to welcome you to one of our homes—designed with love, care, and a focus on connection. We hope to see you soon!

Wonderful home! We have been coming to the Gulf Shores area for 15+ years, this by far was one of the best homes we have ever stayed at. Everyone agrees that this home is 5 stars all the way and highly recommend it for a great family vacation.

This home was beautiful! Clean and comfortable, we felt right at home. My family hated to leave. If you have children this is the place to be. They have everything you could possibly need for the beach and it was private where I didn't have to stress and hold my children close to me the entire time. The kids had a blast and the adults had a very relaxing time. We will definitely be booking again! 1 out of 10 , I'm going to say 100. The view plus the house is a touch of heaven.

All of the beach toys were easily accessible, we had so much fun on the beach and it was lovely to be able to go right inside after a few hours on the beach. Chuck was wonderful as well great communication.
