Andrew's Sandbox
1945 West Beach Blvd

You'll love Andrew's Sandbox! 6 bedroom stand-alone beachfront home... no sharing!

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!

Main Floor N Bedroom: 2 Queens
3rd Floor NE Bedroom: Twin over Full Bunk (sleeping up to 3)
3rd Floor NW Bedroom: 2 Queens
ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹ā€‹3rd Floor S Bedroom: 2 Twin Bunks
3rd Floor SE Bedroom : King
3rd Floor SW Bedroom: King

Main Floor Living Room: Queen Sleeper Sofa

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!

We loved everything about this home! We stayed here with our adult children, two grandchildren and my husband's parents, and this house was perfect for all of us! We really loved that the house was just steps away from the beach and the covered pool was convenient when we wanted to get out of the sun or when it rained. The hardest part was leaving at the end of the week! This house is a dream!!!

Andrewā€™s sandbox

We had the best time for our stay here. The house is beautiful and the perfect location. Our group had a variety of ages staying and there were plenty of things close by to do besides hanging out on the beach. We will certainly be back!

Can't wait to come back!

Our stay was great! We enjoyed the space with our family of eight. Any time there was a need, Richard and his team were exceptionally responsive! The walk to the beach was just steps, and the pool was great, too! Cannot wait to stay again!

Wonderful!!!

We had such a wonderful stay at Andrewā€™s Sandbox! The house was perfect for our family of five (kids ages 2, 5, and 6). The beachfront location couldnā€™t be better, and the shaded pool under the house was a game changerā€”it was the perfect place to cool off after a hot day on the sand. We also really appreciated the outdoor shower, which made cleaning up the kids after beach time so much easier.The house itself was incredibly comfortable and well-stocked. The beds were cozy, and we had everything we needed to feel right at home. Weā€™ve stayed at other beachfront properties, but this one truly stood out thanks to the thoughtful layout and features.We loved our time here and will absolutely be backā€”we usually visit two to three times a year, and this is now at the top of our list!

Great family trip

Perfect for our family. We had a great time in the home. The beach was so close, and the enclosed area around the pool was wonderful for keeping kiddos corralled! Thank you so much for sharing your home with us this spring.

We enjoyed staying at your home in Gulf Shores. The location was great, having a pool on the beach was incredible, and the house met our needs well. All in all it was a great vacation. Thank you for opening your house to us.

Great Thanksgiving trip!

We enjoyed our stay at Andrew's Sandbox. Walked the beach, used the pool, lots of room for the family to spread out. My daughter thinks it should be a yearly Thanksgiving trip! We had a great time and will be in touch with you again when we decide on another trip.

Closer to the water than we've ever had before!

Our experience with Bama Beach Houses was wonderful. We stayed at Andrew's Sandbox. It was exactly as advertised and closer to the water than we've ever had before. Our host's communication was timely, and the house had all the amenities we needed. We will stay at Bama Beach House properties again and will recommend them to friends and family.
