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 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!

Get it all: location, pool, and beach

This property is in a great location, close to everything Gulf Shores has to offer. The beach is fabulous with super soft sand and right outside your door. Want to relax in the pool instead? Your own private pool is ready and waiting for you. I love the views of the pool and beach from the balconies.

1st time to Gulf Shores

This was our first time visiting Gulf Shores (we typically stay on the Florida side of the Gulf). It was a splendid vacation and area! I was worried about how busy/packed the beach would be but it was not at all! With the added bonus of the house/pool so close to the beach it was a win for everyone in our group (ages 1 yr - 49)! Property management and owners were absolutely amazing to work with!

Excellent owners and maintenance staff - highly recommend!

This is a great house for large families We were very pleased with the layout of the house everyone has their own bathroom which is very nice when you're entertaining 14 guest. The house could use some updating as far as some of the furniture. Also I know it's impossible to keep but a few more pots and pans would've been nice as well it wasn't a large variety. But it would not keep me from running this house again the owners were excellent to work with the maintenance staff was quick to respond to any repair or issue that we may have had. Highly recommend

We had a wonderful time.

We had a wonderful time. The location was great. My daughter had ice cream every day. We played volleyball and wiffle ball in the evenings with plenty of playing space. The house fit us well. We had 4 generations enjoying a week together. We did 3 nights of cooking in (burgers, hot dogs, brisket, and a shrimp boil). The management company did a wonderful job getting the house ready. It looked and smelled very clean. They even called us to see if we left a case of DVDs behind. I told her they were there when we arrived and we thought they went with the house. Thank you for allowing us to use your vacation rental and the opportunity to rent again. Family time is important to us and we are getting older and spreading out, so having a week together is wonderful.

Sundancer West

We had an amazing stay at Sundancer West! Location, location, location! It is right on the beach and across the street from a fabulous convenience store, restaurant, and ice cream parlor! This house is huge and would work well for multiple families to enjoy a trip to the beach. The kitchen was well stocked but everything was in disarray. My only complaint would be the cleanliness. It needs a deep cleaning. Ceiling fans looked as though the hadn’t been dusted in years. Some of the comforters on beds had stains and needed washing, as well as cushions on chairs and couches. One bathtub had a side that was completely coming off. We even found two cigarettes in the master closet.😟 It’s apparent that Sundancer West has hosted everything from families with kids to frat parties, but if you like a lived-in, comfy, beachy place to call home for a week, this is your place. Just remember to bring the Clorox wipes and your own pillow! Also, you will need to bring your own beach umbrellas etc. or rent. Ike’s Beach Service will deliver umbrellas and chairs to Sundancer West (they are amazingly nice and very efficient) but you have to set them up each day on your own. BTW, the owners are great with their communication and super nice! It is my suspicion that they aren’t aware of the condition of the property.

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.

It was a perfect house for us. There was an issue with the pool but it was rectified pretty quickly and an alternative pool was provided. Good communication, but disappointing that we didn’t get to use the pool we paid for in the first 24 hours. Kitchen was poorly stocked, no scissors or other basic things. Absolutely no supplies from previous guests available so plan accordingly. Would be nice to provide things like coffee filters and trash bags.

Great Thanksgiving at Sundancer!

We had such a great time with our kids and grandkids, the house, a side of a duplex with 5 bedrooms, was very spacious. Great to look out the windows and see dolphins or to just walk straight out to the beach, a very beautiful beach. All 11 of us are looking forward to next year, we plan to be back! [🤗 Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful experience for Thanksgiving at our Sundancer for your family trip to Gulf Shores! I really appreciate it, and appreciate the warm fuzzies too! 😉 I am so happy to hear you all hand such a fantastic time, and were able to see the dolphins too--we love when they are out, and we were fortunate to be down the same time and have lots of sightings! I would be happy to have you all back anytime. Shoot me a note when ready to make that happen, and if you have ANY suggestions for my place, BamaBeachHouses support and communications, whatever I can do!! Thanks again and best wishes to you and yours! 🙏]

The pictures don't do Sundancer justice!

We visited with four couples and seven children and there was plenty of space for everyone. The pictures don't do this place justice. The rooms were great size, clean and well maintained. The living room, dining room and kitchen area was larger than we expected and fit all of us in there. The second refrigerator was the extra you never know you needed, but I will be looking for this every time. Having a semi-private pool was a great addition. The walk to the beach was easy to use and the outside shower saved a lot of time cleaning up sand. The families in the other half were very friendly and we all had a great time making new friends. We will be returning in the future for sure. This is the best place we have stayed in the Gulf Shores/ Orange Beach area. Thank you, Monte [😎😎😎 Thank you so much Monte! I am so happy to hear that your experience in the west side unit of Sundancer was wonderful!! I very much appreciate the warm fuzzies 🥰 and shared with the BamaBeachHouses gang too! Everyone needs a boost right?! Glad you and the kids had plenty of space and loved everything about our place, and I would be happy to host you all again anytime! Thanks so much!!! 🙏🙏🙏]

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.
