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

Summer 2026 is ALMOST GONE and 2027 is filling up REAL FAST! Still looking for 2026? Contact us ASAP.

Don't forget, peak season is in swing and during peak season, we book Saturday to Saturday. So, if you're looking and don't see any availability, check to see if your stay duration falls under those parameters as that usually is the problem :) But, as always, feel free to reach out as we are always happy to help!

What a super nice place, in a super perfect location too! How perfect you ask? Not only is it beachfront (with a pool, of course) but it is right across the street from Waves grocery, Beach House Kitchen and the ice cream shop too! Guest favorite. Loads of ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️'s! Be next to find your perfect forever vacay place at Beach Baby!

Sarah's Beach Baby is 2x6BR duplex that accommodates up to 24 when staying in either Beach Baby East or Beach Baby West (this listing is for East). 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.

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.

We stayed at this beach house with a group of 17, and overall it was a great experience. The size of the home was perfect for a large group—plenty of bedrooms and space so no one felt cramped. The common areas were big enough for everyone to gather comfortably, which made meals and hanging out really enjoyable.

Awesome, Shaunda! 🥳 Huge thanks for the 5-star love for Sarah's Beach Baby. I love hearing that even with a crew of 17, nobody felt like a sardine! 🐟 That is exactly why we designed those common areas the way we did—having enough room for everyone to gather for big meals and hangouts is a total game-changer for a group that size. Since we didn't hear a peep from you during the stay, I’m taking that as a 'mission accomplished.' I always say no news is good news because it means you were too busy enjoying the Gulf sun to worry about house logistics. 🏖️☀️ Early May is such a sweet spot on the coast, and I'm glad it worked out so well for your group. We’d love to have you all back whenever you’re ready for another round!

Great place for family gatherings

Large enough to meet all of our needs with space to get away for a quiet moment. Our family ranging in ages from 2 to 74 had a great week at the beach. We enjoyed our time together swimming in the ocean as well as the pool. Situated close to stores, restaurants, attractions.

Response from VrboOwner on 18 December 2023
Thanks Sydney! Glad you all had a great time--and got some exercise in too! Yes, all homes on the beach are at least a flight up, and then more if its a multi-level. The duplexes, like Sarah's, tend to be straight up, whereas the homes can be that but are often broken up by landings. I even have a few rare stand alone homes where all the living area is on one level. So once inside... no MORE stairs. Or hey at the high end, a couple with elevators. But I love Sarah's Beach Baby. The beach, the location, the pool! :-) Thanks again!

Response from VrboOwner on 18 June 2025
😁 Hi Cindy! Glad you all had a great time, and that the beds were great too, and that my home was perfect for you all! That said... bummed about the little lost star. I dug in to see if I could find what "many things needing attention" were since that sounded ominous! Found the photos you sent in. For full disclosure, I'll just mention them here! A metal box in the hvac closet loose from the wall. Got that fixed. Thanks. It looks like one of the living room leather couches has a couple significant scratches (this was the pullout, which are totally a pain to replace and I may stop supporting them next time). Certainly can have that looked at, though I am a little wary of tossing it just for those. And a couple broken/missing one (of the two) refrigerators. Appreciate that, and was told the parts had been on order from prior guests. Oh and a stain in the granite counter. Really bummed about that—and replacing an entire white granite top isn't really an option for a 1x1" stain. Did ask my person to try use a baking soda paste mixed with h202 as that's worked some magic on mine :-( Rubbing marks on a set of bunks from the ladder moving side to side, and of course the crack in the interior pane of one upstairs window. Have a window on order already. While not perfect, I am glad none were terribly significant nor affected your stay. In a great big 6BR/BA beachfront place, you can imagine the wear and tear, and absolutely appreciate you bringing them to our attention. Again so glad

About the host

Hosted by Rick Goldsworthy

Host profile image
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!
