About this property

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

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

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

Sarah's Beach Baby, West 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.

Blissful Stay @ Beach Baby

We had a fantastic family vacation at Sarah's Beach Baby! The house was impeccably clean and comfortable, perfectly located beachfront with convenient pool access. We hired Sandcastle University for a fun family lesson and were delighted to spot dolphins immediately afterward! It was especially convenient to rinse off using the outdoor showers and enjoy late afternoons relaxing in the pool. Wonderful stay, excellent location, responsive owners, beautiful home - we will definitely rent again! :)

We had a great time. It was the first time our entire family was able to get together at the beach including grandkids in over 10 years. The house fit our needs perfectly and being directly on the beach was very convenient.

Sarah's Beach Baby vacation

We had a GREAT time at Sarah's Beach Baby West. There was plenty of room for our group, the accommodations were awesome, and the pool/beach created many memories... The suggestions for the restaurants were perfect. And all of the communication from your Bama Beach Houses from the booking process to the time of our stay were outstanding!! We would definitely love to come back and will keep you posted on our future travels to Gulf Shores!!

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!
