About this property
😎 Night Heron, East. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 6BR. Heated Pool. Beachview. Gorgeous!
Night Heron, East Unit 504 West Beach Blvd, Gulf Shores, Alabama
Night Heron, East Unit. 6BR 5BA Beachview Beauty. Brand new in Summer 2021 and all 5 star stays since! Folks LOVE Night Heron. Private Pool PER SIDE. Perfect location. West Beach. East side of duplex. Close to everything, including the beach! Easy beach access across street. Cross at the Stop Light right outside! Awesome, affordable. Location. Location. Location!
This listing is for the East side unit of Night Heron. One side perfect for your group? Then this East side of Night Heron (6BR) may be just what you need!
Or, check out Night Heron's West side unit (6BR) — same great layout, same bedding, sleeps the same number, and same great amenities, so if one isn't available, grab the other--you can't go wrong! Or.... Go BIG and snag Night Heron's East & West sides together in one listing. That's 12 BR, with hotel-style secure connecting door! Uniquely, each side has its OWN private pool--no sharing with the other side, or anyone else.
High end features and furnishings. Awesome open floor plan on main level. Well accommodated kitchen with island.
LOCATION! Walkable to Bahama Bob's, Hangout, so much more! Convenient to walk to ice cream, Island Outfitters (right across 4th street!), beverage store, Italian ice, and more! 10 minutes walk to the Hangout, 2 minutes to Bahama Bobs (we are EAST of Bahama Bobs). So close to everything, yet in your own private duplex, whether you rent one side, or both, you get your own private pool (TWO if you rent both sides!). No sharing unlike condos etc!
POOL? You bet. Private PER SIDE! EACH UNIT has its OWN private pool. No sharing. Added a propane gas pool heater, so YES the pool is heatable to a maximum of 82' (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.
Each side of the Night Heron sleeps 18 in beds. NO SLEEPER SOFAS
BEDDING: Main Floor E Bedroom: King Main Floor W Bedroom: King 3rd Floor NE Bedroom: King 3rd Floor NW Bedroom: King + Twin Bunk 3rd Floor Middle Bedroom: 2 Twin over Full Bunks (sleeping up to 6) 3rd Floor S Bedroom: King
All bedrooms have private suite bathrooms, except the bunk room. One bedroom's bathroom on each floor has hallway access as well for common use.

EXTRA FRIDGE We added an extra fridge in an outside storage area. Pull up, unload. Done. Need a beverage while at the pool? Walk over to your fridge without having to trek inside. Full size extra fridge!
BEACH ACCESS Beach access could not be easier! The 4th Street public beach is right across the street. How do you get there? Walk out the door, go to to the stop light in front of the property, push button, and cross the street! No crossing random places or getting yelled at for short cutting through private property!
PARKING There is available onsite parking for 4 cars per side (2 under the side, 2 in front of the side).
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, 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. No smoking please. No pets.

This is a beautiful property in a great location. We were able to walk across the street to the beach You can walk to multiple stores and restaurants. The pool was great to have too! Highly recommend this property.
Great property, very comfortable with all the necessities needed. Very clean and well kept! Me and my family had a great time at our stay. Very good location with easy beach access. Highly recommend!

Great house and location
Your house was great for our large family, it's been one of our favorites! The only disappointment we had is that there was no heater on the pool. The location was great as well.
Perfect place for our extended family of 13. Plenty of room for all of us. Close to the beach and we loved having our own pool. Ice machine was a nice bonus. Couldn't ask for anything more.
We enjoyed our stay at Gulf Shores. It was our first time there, but it will not be our last. From check in to check out, the process was very easy. We all enjoyed the beautiful house, pool and the easy beach access. The house was clean and decorated nicely. I would highly recommend-5 stars!

Great place to take a large group or family! [😎 Thank you! DM us anytime if you have suggestions or would like to come back! 🙏]
A group of us stayed here for the beach volleyball
Championships. We had all been to Gulf Shores several years in a row so we knew the area and this was a great location for our needs. We could quickly walk to the beach and restaurants. The house was clean and new and for everyone comfortably. We had a small problem with hot water when we checked in but the property manager replied immediately and got it taken care of. I would definitely recommend.
We had 13 adults. The single ladies stayed in the bunk room so one bathroom was pretty busy.
Quite a few stairs of course, so be aware of that. Some kind of dumb waiter or elevator to place groceries/luggage would be so nice!
Overall enjoyed our stay. Easy access to the beach.

Wonderful week at the beach!
We enjoyed renting your house for the week! We vacay with my husbands entire family each summer and this house fit us to a tee!! Seating was plentiful and well thought out…common areas big enough for us to all enjoy being together and pool area was amazing. Loved the frig outside for overflow drinks and all the pool chairs / deck furniture. Proximity to beach was exactly (or maybe even better) than described. We absolutely enjoyed everything about our stay. If I could have requested one thing it would have been a key code lock system on the door to make it easier to lock/unlock without keeping up with a key. But other than that…happy faces all around. Thank you so much for a wonderful week at the beach!

Night Heron was perfect for our family
The place was perfect for my family and I! The kitchen had everything we needed for meals and it was just walking distance from the beach. While there, we had an issue with the lights in one of the upstairs bedroom, but with one of the contacts that we were given, we were able to text them and get the issue resolved fast! My families only complaint was the pool was much smaller than the pictures made it seem. Overall, great place to stay, and we would definitely stay here again.[👍👍👍 Thanks Kaytee! Glad you all had a great time and my home was perfect for you all and you would definitely stay again! Happy to have you all, just reach out! Thanks again! 🙏]

Wonderful house
Our vacation was really great, first time for myself and extended family to Gulf Shores! The house was perfect for us. I chose it on Vrbo based on not just the layout and amenities, but also the décor. Nothing disappointed! No issues with the management company. I did let them know that the garbage disposal was leaking, and the fridge filter needed changed. So hopefully they took care of those prior to the next guests' stay! Again, the house was wonderful, so close to the beach and in the middle of all the action. A little noisy out on the front balconies, but to be expected on a busy street during Spring Break. I did check out your website. If we decide to come back, we may look at one of your properties directly on the beach. My husband and I really enjoyed golfing Kiva Dunes, so may consider closer to there.

Amazing! Perfect for us, and saved the trip!
We had an amazing experience with Richard. We first arrived in Alabama at our original VRBO and the house was not live-able so we were stuck last min trying to find a new place to stay with 8 adults and 3 kids. Richard was AMAZING and opened his home up to us on 2 hours notice. He was extremely helpful answered right away and we couldn't be more thankful to have found this place to stay. The house was so beautiful the pool was amazing and you really did feel right at home. The beach was only across the street easy walking distance. I would recommend this house to anyone ! Hopefully one day we can get back to Alabama and rent this house again. It was perfect for kids!
[😎 So happy I could help last minute and that you had a wonderful time in my Night Heron! Would love to host you all again anytime! Reach out when ready to come back! Sorry to hear your other place (not with us) was subpar/unlivable, and glad you found Night Heron to be perfect for you all. Thank you so much! 🙏]
Overall stay was great. Would definitely book again!

one of the best rentals I've had...
Seriously a great spot! Right by the beach and cute stores! The house was clean and accommodated all of my friends. Seriously one of the best rentals I've had...
Wonderful place to stay! 5 king bedrooms with bathrooms were perfect for our 4 couples and bunk room was great for the kids! Private pool was fabulous and although it’s not right on the beach, it was only about a 2 min. walk. Perfect for a large family!
