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.

16 of us (!!!) were headed to my mom and dad’s house in Santa Rosa Beach for fall break but it had significant hurricane damage and no power. We were scrambling to salvage our vacation and got lucky and happened on this place. It was beautiful, right across the street from the beach and right in front of a crosswalk so very easy to get to. The house was huge and beautiful with FIVE king suites with en suite baths. Great area with sidewalks for biking, lots of restaurants and stuff to do. Gorgeous white sand Gulf beach. Richard was wonderful. Loved the area. Would definitely stay here again. Right between two liquor stores. 😂 10/10 recommend.
[🤗 yay! Thanks so much Tony! Glad you had a great time and that I could assist! If you have any suggestions, or ready to rock a return, you know how to reach me! Looking forward to it. Thanks again! 🙏]
Beyond our expectations — great for large families!
by Melanie
5/5
Beautiful home! Great for large families! Open floor plan and plenty of seating for our large group. Pool was a little small but still so nice to have on the property for when you were tired of the sand!The unit also had plenty of spots when you wanted to have some down time away from the group! Could use a new stove. Took along time to heat up but besides that everything was beyond our expectations! Would definitely refer anyone I know!Thanks for the great hospitality!The Ballinger Family
[🥰 Yay! Thank you Melanie and the whole Ballinger family! So happy the east side of Night Heron was beyond expectations — open floor plan, seating for the whole crew, and those little corners to escape to when you need a breather from the group (a big-family essential!). And yep, the pool's more of a cool-off-and-rinse-the-sand pool than a lap pool, but glad it earned its keep! Good note on the stove taking its time to heat — I've relayed that to my gang on the ground to take a look. Thanks so much for the warm fuzzy review and for spreading the word! Reach out with any other suggestions for Night Heron, or for Bama Beach Houses' communications and support... or to lock in the return trip! Thanks again! 🙏🏖️]
Beyond our expectations — center of everything!
by Chelsie
5/5
This house was beyond our expectations! It was in the center of everything and just a short walk to the beach! We loved that every bedroom had its own bathroom, and the kids loved the bunk bed room! We will for sure book again!
[🥰 Wonderful! Thanks Chelsie. "Beyond our expectations" — that's the best thing I can hear! So glad the east side of Night Heron put you in the middle of everything with the beach a short walk away. A bath for every bedroom keeps the grown-ups happy, and the bunk room keeps the kids happy — that's the whole family covered! 😄 So glad you'll be back. Thank you so much for the 5-star review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Any suggestions for Night Heron? Or ready to set up that return? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks so much for staying in our home! 🏖️]
Great stay — would definitely book again!
by Dawn
4/5
Overall stay was great. Would definitely book again!
[😎 Awesome, Dawn! So glad the east side of Night Heron treated you well — and "would definitely book again" is exactly what I like to hear! Now, I'll admit I'm a little bummed about that wayward star... nothing negative in your note at all (sounded super positive!), so if you've got any feedback that'd help me get him back with the rest of his buddies, that'd be awesome! 😉 Either way, we'd be glad to have you back anytime. Thank you so much for the great review! 🌟 Any suggestions for Night Heron? Or ready to set up that return? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks so much for staying in our home! 🏖️]
Highly recommend--ended up renting both sides
by Ray
5/5
This was also a great property. We rented out Night Heron West along with this, the east side, for multiple family spring break and Easter. This is short walk to the beach, Restaurants, and stores! The pools were great too. I would highly recommend this property!!
[Yay Ray! 🌟 Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We were so happy to host you at Night Heron East (and, separately, West!) for your Spring Break and Easter celebration. 🐰🌷
It sounds like your group had the absolute perfect setup! Booking both the West and East sides of the duplex is such a 'pro move' for multiple families—it lets everyone be neighbors and enjoy the pools together while still having your own private space to retreat to at the end of the day. 🏠↔️🏠 We’re also glad you loved being just a short stroll from the beach and all the local shops and restaurants! 🍔🛍️
We would love to have your crew back again! Just a heads-up: our duplex setups are a top pick for large groups and holiday weeks, and they tend to be the first to go, so definitely don't delay on grabbing your dates for next year! 🗓️💨 See you back on the Gulf soon! 🏖️☀️]

[🥰 Thanks so much Jodi! Appreciate the great ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review, and so glad you all had a wonderful time at Night Heron! Appreciate the personal note as well, and love that your family had a great time at your house! It was convenient to everything you wanted to do, and that you couldn't have been happier!

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! 😉🙏]

by Vickita
5/5
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!
[😎 Yay! Thank you so much for staying at Night Heron, and for the super warm fuzzy review too! We really appreciate it. 🥰 Can't wait to host y'all again! Reach out if you have any suggestions for Night Heron, or for Bama Beach Houses' communications and support... or for that return trip to the beach too! Thanks again Vickita! 🙏]
Family vacation
by Mary
5/5
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!
[Thank you for the great review Mary! 🤗 We are so glad that you enjoyed our home and its spot. We love being able to walk to places as well. (So nice not having to worry about parking). 😅 Yes, all the beach homes are up one level before you reach the living space, so stairs stairs stairs, that's part of the beach trip experience, and the duplex style units like you were in generally have a straight shot of stairs up, no landings, as a result of how they are designed side by side. We do have some beachfront homes that are all on one level, so no stairs once inside, and even have some bigger homes that feature elevators! 🛗 Reach out and we can get you squared away :)]
Night Heron ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
by Craig
5/5
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! 🙏]

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!
[🤗 Yay! Thank you so much for the super kind words. Glad the ENTIRE crew had a wonderful time. That IS quite the range... beats mine and I have a pretty wide range in my gang too! Reach out when ready to return. Happy to have you all back anytime! 🙏]

We took our whole family to Gulf Shores in AlL for vacation at the end of May. We had a wonderful time. We stayed at the Night Heron East and it was perfect. We have three grown children with spouses and 5 grandkids. We loved that all couples had their own king sized beds and bathrooms. We also loved the private pool and that it is so close to the beach and great restaurants. It was clean and has lots of space for everyone to hang out. It is a beautiful place to stay.

Night Heron was perfect for our family
by Kaytee
5/5
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! 🙏]

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!

Night Heron East
by Thuy Ha
5/5
My family and I were looking for a large accommodation that could accommodate our group of 13. We all enjoyed the place, as it was within walking distance of various amenities. The property's aesthetics, both indoors and outdoors, were impressive. Notably, the property's proximity to the beach was a highlight, and the children loved the private pool. I wholeheartedly recommend this centrally located property.
[😎😎😎 Yay! Thank you so much for the kind words about your summertime stay in our Night Heron! Happy you all had a great time, and loved the location, pool, and more. Night Heron is such a wonderful place--great spot, private pool, easy beach access, awesome pricepoint too for a nice, newer, smartly decorated place in Gulf Shores! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have ANY suggestions whatsoever about our home, communications, or support, or when ready to rock the return trip to the beach. Thanks again!

Great place to stay
by Nicole

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.
[👍👍👍 Thanks Nicole! Glad you all had a wonderful time in my Night Heron while in for the NCAA beach volleyball. Bummed THAT won't be back next year--you are ALWAYS welcome though! 😀 And definitely lets hook up early when it returns in a couple years! Thanks again! 🙏]

Excellent location
by Rhonda
5/5
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.
Fabulous Fall Vaca
by Tammy

This property is nothing less than amazing! We had five couples on our trip. Securing a house with five king size beds and five bathrooms at an affordable price is challenging. However, this property provided exactly what we needed at a great price. The house was equipped with everything we expected and more! We will definitely be booking again!
Great family vacation!

The house was very accommodating with comfortable beds, a well stocked kitchen, plenty of seating in the living room/kitchen area. Being only a short walk from the beach was ideal, and having the private pool was a big plus for us. We’re already talking about our next visit!

The Night Heron East is a beautiful beach house. Perfect for large families. We were a family of 17 and the Night Heron was perfect for us. Everyone had a place to sleep. Spacious living area and kitchen. Plus an extra ice maker. Short walk to the beach. Perfect location in Gulf Shores. No need to use your car. Pizza and ice cream shop next door. Restaurants within walking distance. Enjoy our stay ! We will come back😁

5/5
What a fantastic house! Can’t be beat for large groups or multiple families. The house: The bedrooms are spacious. Love the king beds! Each (except two upstairs the share) have their own bathroom. Even with 10 people it felt very spacious. The kitchen is great for cooking meals and the large table easily sits everyone. Our favorite aspect though was the balcony. We loved sitting out there in the morning for coffee, during a rainstorm, or the evening for sunset. The house is directly across from beach access which is extremely convenient. The pool was the perfect temp (we were here in may). Location: It is walking distance to anything you need! We never got in the car once we arrived. Checkin was extremely easy. There is a code on the door (no key) which I always love. Especially when there are a lot of people coming in and out. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back! Thank you for a great stay!

After being booked for 6 months…our original accommodations fell through & we were lucky enough to book Night Heron East within a couple weeks of our scheduled vacation. We could not have been happier with the change. All 9 my family members were extremely comfortable in the unit and impressed with the location. The private pool, double balconies, comfy living areas and easy access to the beach were just some of the reasons to love this place. Our first trip to Gulf Shores was a success because we lucked into staying at Night Heron East.

Very nice place for the family. Plenty of space for adults and kids to be together or have some distance. Pool was a hit and beach access was very convenient. The extra fridge by the pool area was great too. Within walking distance to a variety of shops and restaurants.
Enjoyed our stay and everyone was happy with the accommodations.

Clean and well maintained. Lots of space for the 13 of us. Close to the beach. Well stocked. Plenty of space and parking. We enjoyed the decks though we suggest privacy screens between decks of adjacent units.
Perfect family get away

We absolutely loved this property. We went as a large family group of grandparents, parents/siblings/spouses, and kiddos. It was so spacious and comfortable for the 4 families to have both separate spaces and group spaces. It was clean and stocked with all the basic essentials. We loved the private pool and the proximity to the beach. The owners were quite accommodating and checked in by email too! We will definitely plan to stay at this property again.

Loved the property! Lots of stairs be prepared to walk them! Pool is not heated so if you go in colder months don’t expect to use pool. Overall we had a great time. It was located centrally and just right across to beach. Right next to a liquor store and pizza/ice cream restaurant. Highly recommend this property.

5* Vaca Home-away-from Home!
by Mary
5/5
Our entire family, ages 6-77, could not have been more pleased with Night Heron, East!! Everything was fabulous: the spacious design, decorating, appointments, amenities, cleanliness, ease of check-in/out and ease of communication with owner’s representative, and owners themselves! The living area was totally open: kitchen, large island with 4 seats, dining table (roomy for 10 adults-could easily seat 12) and family room with large tv. It was a short, safe walk to the beach…and the b e a c h, just as pictured: beautiful sugary-soft white sand! You are able to rent beach chairs/umbrellas right on the beach. The private pool for just our unit, was wonderful and we enjoyed it every day. The bedrooms each had their own beautiful updated en-suites. A plus for us was that two of them were on the main floor. Speaking of the main floor, we enjoyed using it’s roomy deck, especially for the early-risers to have coffee and conversation. It was also a plus to be within walking distance of many shops and restaurants. We enjoyed The Hangout, Bahama Bob’s, the neighborhood pizza place, The Diner, and Wolf Bay (about a 25 minute drive) and the Dolphin Cruise. Since I am mobility challenged, we rented a sand dune-buggy locally, which was delivered and picked up. That turned out to be the most important item for me. Without it, I would not have been able to navigate the sand, to join my family on the beach in our area. Thank you Gulf Shores and Night Heron East for a wonderful, memory-filled family vacation.
Excellent property!

This house was a perfect place for our family vacation. Rooms were good size. Kitchen and living room served as a great gathering space for the entire family. Location was very convenient to shopping and eating. Would highly recommend and will definitely rent again in the future. Thanks for providing a home away from home.

Amazing Beach House
by Piper

We had an amazing time with our group who was in Gulf Shores for a volleyball tournament. Location is great and so walkable. The house itself was perfect with everything we could have needed and tons of room. Loved the pool and the overall vibe of the place. Would definitely stay here again.

We had an excellent time! Night Heron home was immaculate, very well designed, and convenient. We have a large family and the design of having the two sides connect via the living room was perfect! And who doesn’t need 2 kitchens to cook Thanksgiving for that many people :-)
5 stars!
by Audra
5/5
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!!
Everything was perfect!

The beds super comfortable towels nicely laid out we had a warm welcome. The pool was a hit with the kids. The beach was in good walking distance. Would definitely consider going back!

Great location and very spacious
by Michael

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.
Property was gorgeous double tiered balconies & private pool. White beaches 100 yds walk

Clean nice property for a beach break at Gulf shore Alabama
by Oswaldo
4/5
Spacious - Clean - nice size bedrooms- property at walking distance to the beach - good for - large group. Everything was good but had little small things needed to improve the experience. 1) Lack a grill to bbq ( we had to buy one ) 2) Lack beach amenities chairs - umbrella - wagon with wheel to transport those items 3) The pool lack heat ( cold months ) 4) Lack some kitchen utensils such as good knives and board table to cut meat - etc Other than those small things 1-2-4 that could be improved easily the place shall get a solid 5 — even if 3 cannot be fixed — everything else was GREAT 👍 Will stay there again without doubt / ✅
Beautiful house great for big families!
by Greg
5/5
Beautiful, perfectly designed home! This home was very clean, well-stocked, and perfectly designed with 2 bedrooms on the main floor and 4 bedrooms on the top floor. We rented both sides of the home and were very pleased to see the living rooms were joined via hotel-like adjoining doors. This was very convenient for our large family. A well-thought-out addition to this beautiful home. Short walk to the beach, shops, and restaurants. We will rent again when we all need to get together in one space.
Perfect location!

Awesome stay! We had 5 families total staying with us, plenty of room for all adults and kids to have their own space or hangout together. Very clean and such easy access to the beach. We had an minor issue with a towel bar and they were there in less then a day to fix. Our only complaint is that we didn’t stay longer. 😊
