Andrew's Sandbox's namesake is my oldest son, now a freshman in college. You'll love the Sandbox's 6 bedrooms (5 up and 1 down) and 6, count 'em, 6 bathrooms (4 up and 2 down). Yowsa!

3rd Floor SE Bedroom : King

There's a sitting room, living room, dining room, and well-furnished kitchen. Andrew's Sandbox even has a pool sheltered beneath the home!

Other amenities include televisions, DVD players, cable, high speed internet, master bath, central air, ceiling fans throughout, TWO refrigerators with ice makers, washer dryer, garbage disposal, and dishwasher. Outside showers and picnic table. Also, new wifi mesh network. More consistent coverage throughout the home! (Still can't guarantee the local cable company provision, but if its working, it'll work everywhere!).

Added a propane gas pool heater, so YES the pool is heatable to a maximum of 82-84' (the high side of recommended rec pool temps) to take the chill off! This service is by request in advance with a per night surcharge for length of stay (gas is expensive right now, this does not actually recoup the cost!). Fee subject to change due to incredibly high gas rates right now. Any online quote will show the optional fee and its current pricing. You may also add it after booking by simply requesting the pool be heated any time after making the reservation and at least a few days before check in so we can get it on before you arrive. See our FAQ about heatable pools too.

Snowbirds welcome. Up to 80% off. Inquire.No smoking please, but feel free to eat lots of shrimp, bask in the warm sun, and have a great time!

Family Beach Break

Our family enjoyed our stay. The beach location +pool is a must for small children. It was a very good spring break.

Andrew's Sandbox

We had an amazing time!! Everything we were looking for (room for the kids, house that was very well maintained and clean, beautiful beach, far enough away from busy beach but close enough to drive into town for dinner, and of course my wife would say perfect shelling every morning)!! Would like to thank you for letting us share ur wonderful house with us. And one last thing sunrises and sunsets were awesome!!

Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2024

Great stay

We stay in Gulf shores every summer and this house was one of our favorites. We really loved the pool. The owners were great about keeping in touch to make sure everything was great. We enjoyed it so much that we’re going back in 2024.

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!

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.

Andrew's Sandbox is spacious, comfortable, a good fit! The beach is RIGHT THERE, and the pool is sheltered. Great location past the bridge on West Beach Blvd. Plus, find the hidden picture of my son, Andrew, in the home! Like a hidden Mickey, but, well, not....
