Sundancer, East. Beachfront 5BR Pool! PERFECT location. 😎

Sundancer, East Unit
1205 W Beach Blvd

2024-12-22. SURPRISE HOLIDAY SUMMER SALE! A surprise gift for the holidays! Up to 20% off summer stays booked during the holidays! Prices will already reflect the discounts (on VRBO, click to the book now/booking details page, and it will show a discount line item). Instant book the perfect summer vacay over the holidays, for less!). Spring dates too!

This holiday gift ends NO later than Jan 4, or the first 3 bookings, whichever comes first!

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: 5 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, sleeping up to 18. I own the west side unit too (and there is a connecting door in the main living room). Inquire if you need 10 bedrooms! Even better than a 10 bedroom home: 2 of everything (except the pool, and of course the refrigerators: you'd have FOUR fridges!).

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 tub with separate shower.

TWO REFRIGERATORS
Two? Per side? Yes two. Because you won't want to stay somewhere without an extra fridge once you have had them.

POOL
Big. Private to the two sides of the duplex: no sharing with other places nearby. The pool is open all year. It's a big 25x14x3-5' Rectangle Lounge chairs are provided around the pool. The pool is NOT heatable. You will find that to be rare, and clearly noted in a listing, and usually involve a per night surcharge. The pool is, however, open all year.

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 > 250Mb 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!

PARKING
There is available onsite, offstreet, parking for at least 6 midsize vehicles if you use space under the home and stack well. In duplex units, please be neighborly about this.

SOAPS, TOWELS, COFFEE, GRILLS 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 both drip coffee makers and Keurigs as well.

PETS
We do consider well-behaved canine furry friends at many locations. This requires owner pre-approval, and is subject to a pet fee (currently $250 per pet). Approval in a duplex location, especially for peak weeks, generally is only available for guests renting both sides of the duplex. Please inquire.

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!

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.

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!

The house was wonderfully located to the stores easy walk to the beach great having a pool right outside the door. The only negative thing I could say would be update the furniture the third floor bed mattress was not very comfortable at all felt the springs along with one of the bedrooms on the second floor as well. Bedroom on third floor chest of drawers. All the handles are broke off so you could not actually access the drawers.. living room had too many chairs just not enough space for the chairs that were located in there. We were constantly having to move them out of the way of the door..

Great House, Great Location

End of summer vacation with family and friends, and a last minute change of plans on where we were staying brought us to this house. Everyone wanted to be on the beach and this house delivered. Plenty of space in the house for everyone to have their own area and even more. Literally just steps to the beach and it was much less crowded than the public areas. Our group decided to eat out every night so we did not do much cooking, but it looked as though the kitchen was well stocked with plenty of dishes and pots and pans. Communication with the owner and check in was easy with no problems at all. We had a great stay, and would recommend this property!

Perfect stay

We loved our stay in the purple house. The house was in a great location. Across the road from Waves that made it easy to pick up anything you needed. West enough that you have more space on the beach. Pool was great to share with just one other family. House was spacious enough large group didn’t feel on top of each other. Everyone could have their own space. We would love to come back!

Ideal Location

This house is in the perfect location! It’s not on the main, busy drag but still close enough to get to all of the restaurants, shops, and excursions you want to do. The house was great for our family of 14 (infants to adults). We loved having the private pool and being steps away from the beach. The house is a little outdated and needs some maintenance work done, but overall is a great place to stay.
