About this property

Sarah's Beach Baby. 12BR beachfront. Sleeps 48. Big Sunny Pool. Nice! Lots of extras.

Sarah's Beach Baby, East & West
1209 West Beach Blvd

2022-11-09. New virtual tour and new inside photos! Check it out!

Sarah's Beach Baby has it all! 12BR, 13BA (6BR, 6.5BA per side). Perfect location right on the beach and across the street from Waves grocery! Pool too!

Sarah's Beach Baby accommodates up to 24 when staying in either Beach Baby East or Beach Baby West. Or a whopping 48 of you if you stay in both sides.

This listing is for the BOTH sides of this great duplex together!. You can also rent either of the two sides separately as a single 6 bedroom place.

Sarah's Beach Baby https://vrbo.com/1219733 12BR (2x6BR)
Sarah's Beach Baby East https://www.vrbo.com/2000157 6BR
Sarah's Beach Baby West https://www.vrbo.com/2000194 6BR

Renting the two sides like this is like having a 12 bedroom but with two of almost everything: kitchens, living rooms, more! When renting both sides, guests may unlock the connecting doors in the living room areas for access between the two sides without going up and down the stairs from the main entries.

Marble counters, bamboo pattern flooring, gorgeous views, beach and pool right out your back door and much, much more. Each side of this beautiful duplex home sleeps 24 and has 6 bedrooms and 6.5 baths. AND, all of the bedrooms have there own en suite bathroom! Each side has the following bedding arrangements:

Main Floor N Bedroom: King
3rd Floor N Bedroom: King
​​​​​​​3rd Floor Middle Bedroom: King
3rd Floor S Bedroom: King
4th Floor N Bedroom: 2 Queens + Twin Bunk
4th Floor S Bedroom: 2 Twin over Full Bunks

Main Floor Living Room: Queen Sleeper Sofa
3rd Floor Bonus Room: Queen Sleeper Sofa

The home has 2 refrigerators (yes, that would be 4 fridges if you choose to stay in both sides: you can never have too much fridge space!). There are balconies on each level.

POOL? You bet!
BIG outdoor pool (shared only between the two sides, and with no one else). 30x16x3-5' rectangular bit of beachfront bliss!

PARKING
There is available onsite parking for at least 6 cars per side (2 under the side, 4 in front of the side). Good stackers can pull off more. Bad stackers? Well, not so much!

WIFI/INTERNET
YES! We have an awesome Eero mesh network to ensure excellent wifi coverage throughout this spacious home. Spotty coverage is always an issue for big places. Sure internet may work next to the router in the living room, but what about the far reaches of the home!? That's why we installed a multi-node mesh network. And what's the internet like? It is generally solid and ran > 100Mb down the last test--sufficient for several simultaneous video conference sessions for remote work and education. Internet is, of course, an amenity and subject to service provider outages (and guests "troubleshooting" it), especially with the havoc the sand and salt wreak on cabling and facilities, no more so than any other home on the beach though, and likely better since its close in and new construction!

SOAPS, TOWELS, COFFEE, ETC ETC
As with most beach homes in the area, the local mgt co provide what they call a "starter supply" of soaps, toilet paper, and paper towels, etc. Enough for the first night to get you going! Please plan to bring or purchase additional supplies, and any cleaning or pantry supplies you may need, or to make a quick run to the store (or have it delivered!). You will want to bring beach towels or beach chairs as well. Because mgt cos will not generally support them, grills are not provided, though they are sometimes inherited from prior guests: your mileage may vary on this, and we usually assess and then go snag a small charcoal kettle when we come down ourselves. Also of note: at many locations, you may find the bunk beds (and certain other beds) are not fully made--instead a bedding pack is provided. This is a common practice for the local management companies, which is both green (if the bedding is not used, it doesn't have to be laundered) AND more sanitary--housekeeping does not have to crawl on the bunks and so on to make the beds. Also also... all our homes have drip coffee makers and most now have Keurigs as well.

No smoking please. No pets.

NEED MORE? I own 4 duplexes, side by side. Big crew? I got you covered. Shoot me a note!

SNOWBIRDS! Up to 2/3rds off for off-season stays of 28 days or longer.

Sarah's Beach Baby Stay

Our entire family met for a beach reunion at this house. it was a great vacation right on the beach with a very nice size pool. Lots of nice size bedrooms with attached baths and very large, well-equipped kitchens with large living rooms. Short walk to the beautiful beach. The owners communicated well with us prior to check-in and followed up during our stay. Truly an enjoyable and relaxing vacation for the whole extended family!

Sarah's Beach Baby was AMAZING!

Our week was amazing! The house and location were perfect & had everything we needed. We only had to reach out once for a missing remote but that was no big deal. And the only thing we missed having was a heated pool since it was chilly a couple days. We all fell in love with Gulf Shores & it was very difficult to leave. Hope to return someday!

The stay was great. I loved the location. The kids really enjoyed being able to have everyone stay in the house instead of different condos, definitely gave them a chance for team bonding. I definitely plan to stay at Beach Baby East and West next spring break.

Usually stay in Rick's Emerald and Sapphire, but decided to spread out across more places this time so we stayed in Sarah's Beach Baby, Sea Monster, and Sundancer.

We had both sides of Sarah's Beach Baby (AND of Sea Monster, right next door) for our ladies retreat. It was perfect for us!

Amazing!

We had about 40 people and were not crowded at all! The house is amazing and exactly as described! We had a small problem with a toilet during our stay and the management company responded immediately! My husband and I got married on the beach and then had dinner at the pool of the house and it was perfect in every way!! I cannot wait to come back!

Nice Week

This beach house needs updating. Location is amazing, nice pool and beach location. Furnishings are shabby. For what we paid for the week in this house, I expected more. Our family had a great week here. Not a complaint, just a suggestion for some updates.

Awesome week!

We loved our stay at Beach Baby! It was a perfect place for our group of 30! We rented both sides of the house and loved all the space and having 2 full kitchens (we didn't realize ahead that there's a door connecting the houses! what a bonus!) The pool was great and the proximity to the amazing beach was wonderful.

About the host

Host profile image
Instructional designer. Behavior change researcher. Father of 3. Teacher. Soccer coach. Hoosier. I'm interested in why people do the things they do, what we can do to change those things so that folks live happier and healthier lives, and how technology can help. Plus, well, I love Gulf Shores!

Why they chose this property

My wife's family have traveled to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach Alabama for decades. I became a tag along in the late 1990s, so a Gulf Shores guy by marriage. One thing led to another and we ended up a several large, family-friendly, large group friendly, places along the Gulf.

What makes this property unique

Location. Location. Location. Right on the beach, Sarah's Beach Baby duplex (Sarah is my youngest daughter!) is well-accommodated, sleeps up to 40 when you stay in both sides (this listing is for the entire home... contact us if you have smaller, or BIGGER, needs), and is in a terrific location: right across the street from Waves Grocery, a restaurant, ice cream, and more!
