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
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!

Beach was incredible

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.
