š„° Summer Sale! First 2! Andrew's Sandbox: 6BR Beachfront with Heatable Pool! Sleeps 21!
Andrew's Sandbox
1945 West Beach Blvd
25-02-22. Summer on Sale! Quick 'escape the cold' summer sale! First 2 bookings get 15% off. This is ALREADY priced in and should show as a strikethrough/discount on the booking page. Fab place... for less! Act quick, 2 will go fast! Spring dates too!
Renovations! Hey new paint throughout and outside too! Completely new vibe!
New flooring. Lots of nips and tucks too! Looking great for next summer. Check out the new virtual tour!
You'll love Andrew's Sandbox!
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
āāāāāāā3rd 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!

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....
