About this property

Sarah's Beach Baby, East Unit. Beachfront. Pool! Sleeps 24. Gulf Shores!

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

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

Sarah's Beach Baby, East Unit has it all! 6BR, 6.5BA, or 12BR, 13BA when taking both sides. 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 single side of this great duplex. You can also rent the other side, or both together as a 2x6 bedroom place. 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.

Sarah's Beach Baby East https://www.vrbo.com/2000157 6BR
Sarah's Beach Baby West https://www.vrbo.com/2000194 6BR

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). 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.

Great place for family gatherings

Large enough to meet all of our needs with space to get away for a quiet moment. Our family ranging in ages from 2 to 74 had a great week at the beach. We enjoyed our time together swimming in the ocean as well as the pool. Situated close to stores, restaurants, attractions.

We very much enjoyed our trip. Would I rent from you again? Absolutely. Of all the times we have rented you and BamaBeachHouses have done the best job of contacting us, providing info in advance, and generally acting as if you care even after receiving payment. :) Thank you! [Thank you! We do care. 😁 Anytime you need anything, something not quite right... just need a recommendation... just reach out. Return trip?! Happy to help with that too! Thank you so much! 🙏]

Multi- Generational Family

We had amazing time at Sarah’s beach baby: it was perfect for our multigenerational family. Our kids never got out of the pool or the ocean. Great location, beach for Memorial Day in front of the house was not crowded and we will be back! Highly recommend. No complaints!

November long term stay

Great place for our Oct-Nov getaway! Loved being right on the beach with a pool. Good price for the down time from mid October to before Thanksgiving. Already rebooked with the owners for next year!

Everything was great

Everything was great. House was well stocked. The blender was the only thing that didn't work, and I forgot to tell the management team. Weather was only sunny the day we got there and the day we left, but we had a lot of fun hanging out! Thanks again for sharing your home.

Had a blast!!! The house is amazing and the location perfect.

We had a blast. The house is amazing and the location is perfect. There was plenty of room for everyone and getting ready to go out was not an issue even with 16 of us because each bedroom had it own bathroom. Everyone loved the pool and we played in it a lot! It was nice when they got the pool lights working but we had used other lights and enjoyed it almost every night. The balconies were a perfect spot to relax and watch dolphins play early in the morning. We played at the beach early because it was so hot, napped with the babies midday, and back to the beach and pool after naps. I think it was one of our best family vacations ever! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

We enjoyed our November vacation so much.

We enjoyed our November vacation so much a Beach Baby. When there is any problem, it is taken care of quickly. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need and the beds are so comfortable. We enjoyed the new leather couch this year! The service providers they use are professional and polite! We cannot wait to enjoy another trip this year!!

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. Sarah's Beach Baby (Sarah? My youngest daughter!) has the best location. Heart of Gulf Shores on West Beach, right across from Waves Grocery, restaurant, seafood, ice cream, more! Just wander across the road!

What makes this property unique

Location. Location. Location. Right on the beach, The Sundancer duplex is in a terrific location: right across the street from Waves Grocery, a restaurant, ice cream, and more! In season: S&S Seafood is open. Order up some shrimp, corn, and potatoes steamed (I choose cajun, of course!). The pool on Beach Baby is fairly sheltered, fenced, but open to the sun, and there is a lot of space under the home (on concrete) to escape the heat and sun if you need to do so!
