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 Sundancer's EAST 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!
No smoking please, but feel free to eat lots of shrimp, bask in the warm sun, and have a great time!
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 haver a great stay in our home. Reach out and let us know how we can help!

Fantastic "snow bird" stay
We love our stay here at Sundancer! Can't wait to try out Gulf & Golf next year! Thank you!
👍👍👍. Thanks Gwen! Glad Sundancer was PERFECT for you all. Bummed to lose a star for some reason even though it was "perfect"... so I reached out. You said it was because it did not have a stand alone ice maker like the last home of mine you stayed in. Of course it, and most places, don't list that as an amenity.... Always happy to take requests, but... losing a star for something we don't offer... is super disappointing as it docks us for something we don't list as an amenity! 😔 Just my $.02 but I would suggest searching for the amenities you want, and not penalizing owners and homes for wish list items that they specifically don't offer in a place since it hurts the listing and is, IMHO, a bit unfair, especially when the home was 'perfect for our families.' 😉 Let's get you back, and find one that does have an ice maker next time! Thanks again! 🙏

We had such an awesome week and loved the location and the house!
Plenty of seating and a great table for playing dominoes! The pool was perfect. Having two fridges was fabulous.

🥰🥰🥰 Yay! Glad you had a fantastic 8 night end-of-summer stay in our Sundancer, and that you loved the pool too! I believe this is the very first review I've had that mentions dominoes! That is so cool! Hadn't thought of that! Any suggestions for Sundancer or for Bama Beach Houses and their communication and support? Always looking for ways to improve, tweak things! Ready to lock in the return? Reach out! Thanks again! 🙏
Great location for restaurants and excellent location right on the beach. The ocean view from our house was exactly what we wanted to see every time we looked out a window.

😁 Thank you so much for the kind review Gayle. I am so happy to you had a great time, and loved our home and its location. I'll reach out directly to see what little improvements we can do to get that last star back with his other 4 friends since I don't see anything suggestion or negative-wise here. From our prior conversations, I love that your grand thought of Sundancer as "Barbie's Dream House" -- high praise indeed, as you mentioned! Thanks again! Lets get that return you talked about locked in! 🙏
As advertised…fun place to vacation even in November
Family vacation for a big family gathering and place was exactly as it is portrayed. Great for a family.

Nice Property!
This was a nice property, great pool on the beach, very convenient.
Location of the house is perfect! The pool between the gulf and the house allows you to see pool from deck(s) as well as the Gulf. Several days with dolphins close to shore! The furniture in living and dining room (particularly couch and dining room chairs) could use some updates but also understandable with this being a beach house. The furniture isn't terrible by any means! We enjoy it or stay so much!

Wow—thank you so much, Laura, for the sparkling 5-star review! 🌟 We love that you soaked up those dolphin days 🐬 and enjoyed Sundancer’s unique setup with the pool between the Gulf and house—such a great way to keep everyone in sight while still catching those ocean views.
We’re especially glad the location worked well for you — being right across from Waves Grocery, restaurants, and beach essentials means guests often say they didn’t need to drive everywhere. And we’re proud of how our WiFi holds up — whether people are streaming, working remotely, or just staying out on the decks, we aim for you to stay connected.
Thanks, too, for your comments on the furniture — it helps to hear what matters most. If you have any suggestions or kudos to share, we’d love to hear them — what you liked, or what maybe could have made it feel even more special.
We’d be thrilled to welcome you back anytime for another perfect-location getaway! Many guests are already booking ahead, as Sundancer often books for peak dates a year or more in advance, so feel free to reach out if you want help locking in good dates. 😎🌴☀️
This was a family vacation. Manager was prompt for fixing the light situation in the bathrooms but we never did get the slider on the top floor fixed. Three floors to get to the master with belongings would be tough for an elderly person. The pool and the pool furniture were very nice. But some of the interior could use some attention.

Thanks Babs! Glad we could connect directly, and happy to hear you all had a great time! I appreciate you mentioning the light. I understand there was a breaker type issue and it was resolved pretty quickly. The sliders sometimes get to the point where we need professionals. The twists and turns of storms and these homes on "stilts" really messes with them. Its been fixed, along with a stool that we found in the living room. Everything else seemed shipshape, but would love to hear more if you have suggestions! Also glad to hear you'll be returning to us next year! Reach out if you need anything at all! Rick

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.
