This listing is for the Sundancers' WEST Unit.

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 had a great time at this location. The house was clean and the check in process was easy. There is no way to beat the location. It is steps away from the beautiful beach.

😁 Thanks Kristen! So happy you and the family had a big time in our Sundancer home and loved everything about it--clean, comfy, smooth check in and support, and... that location! Right?! Any suggestions? Ready to lock in the return? We are here for you! Thanks again! 🙏
This place was amazing! Perfect location as the beach was quieter in this section. Our family had a great time with a perfect amount of space. Host was great with quick responses and lots of good information about Gulf Shores. Highly recommend.
We greatly enjoyed our stay. Easy access to the beach, close to everything we wanted to enjoy. Would book again!

Wonderful! Ringing in the new year at the beach is awesome! Thank you for sharing your 5 star experience, I really appreciate it! Reach out if you have any suggestions, or when ready to lock in your return trip! Thanks again! Rick
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.

Home was clean & ready for us at check-in. Had a small issue with one bedroom door & owner promptly sent staff to repair! We really enjoyed our stay!

Thanks Greg! Glad you had a fantastic time in my Sundancer! How about the convenience of the bar and grill (and ice cream shop...and grocery...) right across the way! And I do like lounging beachside by the pool... :-)
Would recommend this wonderful home for a trip to the beach! We had a large family stay with all different kid groups and was plenty of space for everyone! Enjoyed the ice cream shop across the street!

Thank you for the great review Alyssa! So glad you all had a great time in our home! Since you don't mention any issues, and I didn't see any communication during your stay, I'll reach out directly to see what we could do to improve the experience for so we get that star to rejoin its 4 friends for a future trip! Thanks again! Rick
Amazing location on less crowded part of the beach and easy walking to food and convenience store. Great size, layout, and amenities for large, extended family. Highly recommend!

Everything was great. We really enjoyed our stay.
We checked into West a couple days early for Labor Day. Then we stayed in both sides of Sundancer. Everything was great. We really enjoyed our stay.
The house was very clean and as described. The beach view and access was to die for!

Nice! Thank you so much Sean! Glad everything was perfect for you all, nice and clean, and that you loved our awesome beach view and access--and of course the ice cream across the street doesn't hurt, right? :-) Poke me if you need anything! Thanks again! Rick
My family enjoyed spending our week at the beach in this house. It’s own pool and being located directly on the beach were ideal for us. There was plenty of space for all of us.

Beautiful beach and house
The beach was beautiful along with the house. We had a great time. Thank you!
We loved our stay in Gulf Shores. The beautiful white beach was just outside our door. We had lots of room to stretch out. In suite bathrooms for all bedrooms was an added comfort.

Fantastic getaway
Thank you so much. We needed this time away! It was perfect for us.
We had 8 adults and 6 kids. It was the perfect place to stay. The pool and the beach were our main sources of entertainment and did not disappoint! Adults and children agree we had a wonderful time and would enjoy coming back!

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!
