About this property

Holiday Summer Sale! Sundancer, West. Beachfront 5BR Pool! PERFECT location. 😎

2023-07. Flash Sale: Vacation like its 2019, in Summer 2024. Dropped rates to 2019,. pre-pandemic levels. First 3, then I change them back! Pricing is already factored into the Vrbo displayed prices. Figured everyone needs a holiday week break! Happy 4th!

2023-07-07. NEW Virtual Tour. See 2nd or 3rd photo. Its a 360 tour! This is the LATEST info on the home. Take a tour. You'll love Sundancer!

5BR 5.5BA. Beachfront. Pool. Right across from Waves Grocery. Perfect location. Perfect place. Accommodates up to 18 per side, 36 in both!

This listing is for the Sundancers' WEST Unit.

We own the Sundancer East, Sundancer West, or you can book them together as a 10BR as Sundancer East & West!

Sundancer is a beautiful duplex located directly on the beach of the Gulf! Open the back doors and enjoy sun, surf, and sand!

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 Sundancer is beachside, fairly sheltered, fenced, and 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!

Each side has 5 bedrooms

2nd Floor N Master BR: King
3rd Floor S BR: King
3rd Floor Middle BR: King
3rd Floor N BR: Two Triple Bunks (single over full)
4th Floor S Master: King

Additionally, there are Queen Sleeper Sofas in the 3rd floor lounge bonus room as well as in the 2nd Floor (main) living room.

ALL King bedrooms have their own en suite bath. The bunk room and bonus room QSS share a common bath.

Each side has TWO, yes two, master bedrooms, one on the main floor and the other on the 4th floor beachfront, each with a whirlpool tub with separate shower.

The Sundancer includes multiple televisions, dvd players, cable, internet, two refrigerators (per side!) in the large, well laid out kitchen, and decks off many of the bedrooms.

A private pool, shared only by the two sides of the townhouse, fronts the beautiful beachside view of the Gulf beckoning you to enjoy a little poolside relaxation to the sound of the surf breaking on the white sands.

Really big group? I own 4 duplexes side by side. Can handle just about any group size!

Since we have a higher proportion of guests recently who are new to vacation homes, I wanted to mention a few things that may be new to guests who normally stay in hotels or resorts rather than a private home so they are not surprised. 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, except where specifically noted, 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.

That’s it! We think you’ll have a great stay in our home. Reach out and let us know how we can help!

No smoking please, but feel free to eat lots of shrimp, bask in the warm sun, and have a great time!

We loved the unit. Clean and loved the labeling in the kitchen and on the light switches. The ac unit worked amazingly well and kept the unit super cold. The two fridges worked great, we loved having one for food and one for drinks. Private pool was nice with plenty of seating and a short walk to the beach. Owner was wonderful to work with.

Great time -- looking forward to next time!

We had a great time - the Sundancer was the perfect place for us. We are already looking forward to the next time we can go to Gulf Shores! It's always a hard place to leave and head back north where the weather is much colder!

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!

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.

In season: S&S Seafood is open. Order up some shrimp, corn, and potatoes steamed (I choose cajun, of course!). The pool on Sundancer 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!
