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.

The property was in a good location. Not far from souvenir stores but far enough away that it didnât feel like you were staying downtown. There was easy access to the beach. The porches were great to sit and look at the ocean.

ð Love it, Angela! You found exactly what makes Beach Baby West special â close enough to the souvenir shops and the fun, but far enough that it still feels like your own quiet spot. And those porches for watching the ocean roll in? Hard to beat. So glad the beach access made it easy, too. Any suggestions for the home while it's fresh in your mind? Or ready to come back to Beach Baby? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks so much for staying in our home! ðð
This place was perfect for our group of 14 !!! We were so lucky that the other side was not rented , so we had the pool all to ourselves !!! Even took family beach pictures right in front ! Everyone agreed we would stay here again .

ðĨģ Woohoo, Patti! So glad the west side of Beach Baby was perfect for all 14 of you â and lucky you, scoring the pool all to yourselves! ð Those family beach pictures right out front? Those are the keepers.
Since you loved having the whole pool... next time you could grab BOTH sides of Beach Baby and never have to hope the other side's empty â all the space, all yours! Love that everyone's already voting to come back. Can I help with that now?!
Thank you so much for the 5-star review! âïļâïļâïļâïļâïļ Any suggestions for Sarah's? Or ready to set up that return? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks so much for staying in our home! ðïļ

Gulf Shores Family Vacay
The stay went great. Everyone had a ton of fun - really great spot you have! Thanks!
Great home! We had 12 adults and had a marvelous stay! Appreciated the amenities and the communications along the way working up to our trip. We were excited for what seemed to start as "limited" parking, turned out to be more than necessary! We were able to fit 4 of the 7 cars under the home -granted they were sport cars . We noted a few minor maintenance issues for them to do middle of our stay and they could be done once at checkout, but they were extremely responsive and wanted to fix them before we left. We appreciated it, but they weren't hindering our stay and told them not to worry! Will absolutely rebook with Bamabeachhouses.com. Thank you from one Hoosier to another!

ðĨģ Woohoo, Ashley â from one Hoosier to another right back atcha! ð So glad your crew of 12 had a marvelous stay at Beach Baby West! And I LOVE that you called out the parking â folks see "limited" and worry, but as you found out, there's more room than you'd think (4 cars under the home, sport cars and all!). These beach lots pack in more than they look. Really appreciate you being so easygoing about those couple of minor items too â my team likes to jump on stuff right away, but glad it never got in the way of your fun! Thank you so much for the 5-star review! âïļâïļâïļâïļâïļ Any suggestions for the home while it's fresh? Or ready to set up a return? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks so much for staying in our home! (and... Hoo Hoo Hoosiers!) ðī⊠ð
ðī Thanks so much, Hugh! Weâre thrilled your family had a great stay at Beach Baby West â itâs the perfect spot for big families to relax, reconnect, and make beachside memories together! Between the private pool, spacious decks with Gulf views, and direct beach access, itâs hard not to fall in love with this home. ð
Weâd love to host you all again soon â maybe next time try renting both sides of Beach Baby for even more space and fun! Thanks again for choosing Bama Beach Houses for your Gulf Shores getaway! âïļðïļ

LOVE Beach Baby!
We love everything about Beach Baby, and our neighbors, also long term guests are great too. We very much appreciate you allowing us to stay in your home for November and over Thanksgiving. Looking forward to next year already!
We had a fantastic family vacation at Sarah's Beach Baby! The house was impeccably clean and comfortable, perfectly located beachfront with convenient pool access. We hired Sandcastle University for a fun family lesson and were delighted to spot dolphins immediately afterward! It was especially convenient to rinse off using the outdoor showers and enjoy late afternoons relaxing in the pool. Wonderful stay, excellent location, responsive owners, beautiful home - we will definitely rent again! :)

ððð Smiles all around! Thank you so much for the super nice review and for sharing your wonderful experience staying in Sarah's Beach Baby with Bama Beach Houses. Also appreciate the rec on the Sandcastle University gang. Had not heard of them, and added to my list of things to suggest to peeps for their vacays! Sounds like it was the perfect place and the perfect vacation. DM to set up the return, or to share any other suggestions or requests (or kudos... those are always super welcome too!). ð Thanks again Lisa! ð
We had a GREAT time at Sarah's Beach Baby West. There was plenty of room for our group, the accommodations were awesome, and the pool/beach created many memories... The suggestions for the restaurants were perfect. And all of the communication from your Bama Beach Houses from the booking process to the time of our stay were outstanding!! We would definitely love to come back and will keep you posted on our future travels to 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!
