Don't forget, peak season is in swing and during peak season, we book Saturday to Saturday.

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.

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.

    Everything was great. Couple of small issues with the sliding bathroom doors but nothing we couldn't fix. One just fell off but we were able to place it back. Besides that no issues. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home. [? Yay! Glad you had a great time and loved our place. We will check out the sliders just in case, but great job DIYing. Anytime you run into anything, we are always here for you! Return trip too! ??]

    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! ?]

    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

    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!

    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!

    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! ?]

    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! ?]

    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.
