😎 Night Heron, East. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 6BR. Heated Pool. Beachview. Gorgeous!

Night Heron, East Unit
504 West Beach Blvd

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 Night Heron's EAST Unit, sleeping 18.

We own both the the Night Heron, East Unit, and the Night Heron, West, Unit, or you can book them together as a 12BR, sleeping 36, as the Night Heron, East & West! Private pool PER SIDE! However you choose to slice and dice it, it will be a great stay!

BRAND NEW in 2021. 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). Additional overflow parking is available a few blocks away if needed and by request.

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.

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!

Loved Night Heron

We absolutely loved our stay at Night Heron East! The home is so comfortable and beautifully decorated. We ranged in age from 9 to 88, and each had a wonderful time. The home is in a perfect location, and the pool was great. We will definitely book with you all when we visit the Gulf Shores area again!

Night Heron ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beautiful house with lots of room. Great location within walking distance of restaurants, ice cream shops and other shops. The walk to beach was very easy on board walk and sand. I would recommend this house to anyone, especially a large group. The private pool is great only a few steps from door.[😁😁😁 Thank you so much Craig for taking a moment to share your wonderful (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) experience in my Night Heron home and with the Bama Beach Houses mgt co too! Glad everything was perfect and that you loved our place and the locale too! I would be happy to host you all again anytime, just reach out! Ty! 🙏]

Great place to stay

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.

Our stay was fantastic!

The house was gorgeous, and though we were originally turned off at being between two liquor stores, it turned out to be EXCELLENT people watching! Ha! Thanks again for a wonderful stay! It will likely be a few years before we do another extended family vacation like that, but I will absolutely check out any small properties you may have for future trips for our immediate family!

Great location and very spacious

We have 6 children between 10 and 20 and needed personal space. We had plenty of room, but the home itself is very inviting and we all migrated together at the pool, the front deck or in the living room area. Super clean, new and owners are super responsive.

Excellent location

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.

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 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!

5 stars!

Not just 5 stars, an absolute 💯 stars!!! We had a blast. How I was able to find it when I did is beyond me. I had been lookin all over since Jan/Feb for a place and was giving up. The night I booked the boys walked through askin if we were goin on vacay or not. My husband was like can't find anything guess we'll just go to the lake hse. I wasn't wanting to go bn we go almost every weekend so i said ok I'm gonna look one more time but that's it. THEN I was like umm I actually think I've found a place, its across the st from beach but HEY. My husband works for UPS, they do their vacations n Oct for the following yr so we don't have a clue yet to what week's or wldve already made reservations for there or another place yall have....possibly right on the beach. We carried our cornhole boards with us so that was a ➕ up under when it rained and/or when just wanted to stay in. ...Beautiful place. Oh and bn right by the beverage store....SCORE!! And the red light to go to the beach, another SCORE!!

Family vacation

The property is very nice. I don’t think the on line pictures do it justice . We found it to be very clean. It was within walking distance of a few great restaurants and the beach was directly across the street. The only issue that I had is the steps. I am older and the steep steps to get into the house were a problem for me. There are 18 steps to the first floor and another 18 to most of the bedrooms upstairs. I was in a first floor bedroom but going up and down to the car and the pool was difficult for me. Likely not a good fit for older unsteady people. The house itself was great though

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! 🙏]
