Sea Monster, West. Big. Beachfront. Pool. Sleeps 26. Awesome location!
Sea Monster, West Unit 1217 West Beach Blvd
8BR 7.5BA Beachfront duplex. Pool. Extra fridges. Lots of space. And right on the beach! Sleeps 26, or up to 52 in both sides!
2023-06-30. Brand new listing by owner. We’ve had our East side up on Vrbo for a while, but I’ve never had the west side of this gorgeous place posted here as she mostly rents herself. :-) So, no, there are no review (yet!) because it is a brand new listing. However, if you want to look at our other side, which is listing https://vrbo.com/1992138, you’ll see that it’s mostly five stars with happy happy large groups and families. The bonus to you is that as a new listing the first three bookings get 20% off their stay (automagically applied). Act quick!
Big is beautiful! Sea Monster is a “monster” as in BIG, but she's certainly not ugly! Great place, great space! Perfect location!
WThis lovely monstrosity is located directly on the gulf. It is perfect for those larger get togethers: plenty of space to be together but plenty of your own space too!
Sea Monster is a duplex with 8 bedrooms and 7.5 baths on each side! It sleeps up to 26, or 52 if you take both sides. This listing is for the WEST side unit. The East side unit may be available, or you can rent both as Sea Monster East & West (for a whopping 16 bedrooms, sleeping up to 52... just inquire!).
2nd Floor (Main) North BR: King 3rd Floor South BR: King 3rd Floor Middle BR: King 3rd Floor North BR: King 4th Floor South BR: King 4th Floor Middle South BR: 2 x Twin Bunks 4th Floor Middle North BR: Queen 4th Floor North BR: 2 Queen + Twin Bunk
Main Level Living Room QSS 3rd Floor Living Rm QSS
On the main floor of each side of the Sea Monster there is a large living room, dining room and fully equipped kitchen with adjacent half bath. That floor also has a master suite with private bath, including a jetted tub and separate shower. The second level has a bonus room with television and a sleeper sofa and access to a full bath. To the north of the bonus room is a bedroom with a shared bath. Another guest bedroom is located on the south side of the bonus room area with private full bath. There is also a master suite facing the gulf on the second level with a private master bath including a jetted tub and separate shower. This master bedroom also has a deck. Floor three has four guest bedrooms and three baths; one of which is a Hollywood bath shared by two of the bedrooms.
For both sides, see our Sea Monster East & West listing. One side perfect for your group? Check out our Sea Monster East and Sea Monster West listings for the individual units.Other Sea Monster amenities include a shared pool, washer & dryer, dishwasher, microwave, televisions, cable, dvd players, internet, telephone with free domestic long distance, covered parking, and an extremely convenient location.
POOL? You bet! BIG outdoor pool (shared only between the two sides and with no one else).
PARKING There is available onsite parking for at least 6 cars per side. More if you park under then home and stack carefully. Just share nice with the neighbors!
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.
SNOWBIRDS! Up to 2/3rds off for off-season stays of 28 days or longer. brand new listing by owner.

Everything was wonderful at Sea Monster this year. It was probably our best year so far. We went for 7 weeks instead of six and that is a perfect amount of time.
[🥰 Yay! With your 10th year coming up, this year being the best year yet is saying a lot! Glad we are able to keep everything shipshape and fresh for you each and every year! Reach out if you have any suggestions at all! Thanks so much for trusting us evey year for the perfect place to stay! 🙏]
We really enjoyed our stay. The layout and closeness to the beach were perfect for our family. The owner has great communication.

👍 Thank you so much for the great review. Glad you all truly enjoyed your stay, and loved the location, layout, beach, and communication from Bama Beach Houses. It would be super helpful if you could reach out and let us know what could be improved to get that star back with his 4 other buddies since there isn't anything here or in communications at all about negatives. Maybe just a 'hard grader' but that hurts on VRBO, so if you DO have suggestions, even minor requests, please reach out! Ditto when ready to rock the return! Thanks again! 🙏

Great stay
Nice place. Right on the beach with lots of room and a big pool.
Super cute house with tons of rooms for each couple to have their own room and bathroom! This was perfect for our big family vacation house to sleep everyone plus plenty of options for the kids to not be in beds with anyone else!

DM us with any suggestions or requests for the home or for our commuications and support. Thanks again Tommy! 🙏
Grandparents, parents, siblings and all our children came for a relaxing week! Our stay was wonderful with plenty of room and amenities at or near the house. We will definitely be staying again!

Fantastic!
Great stay. Sea Monster was perfect for us. Very big. We never felt on top of each other, and the new bath and tile in the main level master bedroom was a very nice improvement over the pics! We will be back!
We had a great time with our family vacation. Only issue was one of the bath jacuzzis was out of order. It would’ve been nice to have operational.

😊 Thanks Kendall! Glad you all had a great time and loved out home. On the whirlpools, its been years since we support (and market) those due to issues with maintaining and parts supply, so we note that in all the listings, and in our confirmation FAQs etc. The tubs work, but the whirlpool jets are disabled, often even plugged off as they ALSO were leak problems in some cases. Again glad you all had a fantastic time at Sea Monster, and would be happy to have you all again anytime!🙏

Another great trip
We really enjoyed our stay at the sea monster, last time we stayed on the other side. Hopefully we'll be back in the future!
Our family, ages 2-75 stayed Thanksgiving week at the Sea Monster West and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The property was clean and we had everything we needed. We had a hot water problem on arrival that was fixed within a couple hours. We really enjoyed our stay.Thank you

We've stayed in the Sea Monster, East and West, several times over the years. The accommodations worked well for my family. It appeared as though the interior had been repainted which looked good. We enjoyed the house, the pool and the beach. The location is perfect.

About the host

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
Really big! Great price point. LOTS of King beds. Great location! Walk across street for food, ice cream, seafood, and bar and grill. Never leave! Big! Beachfront. Large pool.
