What else? More of course!

TWO LIVING ROOMS!
There's a living room in both the north and south wing of this great stand-alone home! How's that for spreading out. Not one, but two living rooms with coaches, TVs, and dining spaces. Separated by the kitchen area. How about a little divide and conquer during the vacay!

TWO REFRIGERATORS
Yes, two per side. Because... you need a lot of space for shrimp and beverages!

POOL? You bet!
Pool is under the home. A bit like an indoor pool. Big: 24x12x3-5 FT Rectangle! Great respite from hot hot hot, as well as inclement weather! Heatable too (nightly surcharge applies). 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 nightly surcharge (varies by season and with gas market price, has been $60-85 per night, just inquire, and must be for length of stay (this is based on market pricing for propane gas, and can change at any time, both up and down, until added to a reservation). Fee subject to change due to incredibly high gas rates right now. Simply request the pool be heated any time after making the reservation and at least a week before check in so we can get it on before you arrive.

PARKING
There is available onsite parking for at least 8 cars. More if you park under them home and stack carefully.

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, 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 drip coffee makers and most now have Keurigs as well.

No smoking please. No pets.

SNOWBIRDS! Up to 2/3rds off for off-season stays of 28 days or longer.

Little bigger? Or need TWO places near each other? Check out my Erica's Sandpiper, 1 door down, and 8 bedrooms! Also a single level home.

West Beach Egret House

Wonderful house right on the beach. The pool underneath the house was a big plus. We beached it in the morning and after lunch we were in the pool. This kept the Grandkids out of the sun during the hottest part of the day. The 6 bedrooms were nice especially since each had its own Bathroom. Just wish they could install an under the counter ice machine. For sure we will stay there again!

Egret Beach House June 2024

Our family enjoyed our stay at the Egret Beach House, especially the pool. However, the beds were extremely uncomfortable which was reported to the management company, and they were to look into the problem. The layout of the house was very good for our family. We enjoyed the large area to sit, talk and play games.

Wonderful!

Egret was perfect for our family of 12, very clean , plenty of room so we could spread out , two living rooms were great so kids could play their video games and adults could play cards in the other one. All 6 bedrooms had their own bathrooms. The kitchen had plenty of glasses, cups and dishes , but could use some new frying pans ! Two refrigerators were great for that many people , lots of groceries.The pool under the house was great for the kids on a rainy day. Love the location very private away from the crowds, like your own private beach. Would definitely rent again.

Great location. Excellent service and responsiveness. Spacious home.

We loved our stay at The Egret. Highlights- two living rooms, two fridges, and bathrooms for each bedroom. Loved being right on the beach. Heated pool was essential for kids who wanted a break from the ocean and for the double red flag days. Management was attentive to all of our questions and minor property issue (resolved within hours). We enjoyed being far enough from the hectic downtown area, but close enough for groceries. We loved it so much that we’re already booking it again. Thank you!

The Egret Is A Winner!

We rented The Egret for a week for a family vacation and a wedding (we ended up with 2 weddings this week!). The house is awesome, the location is perfect, private access to the beach was just what we wanted, and the view of the Gulf is amazing! We were fortunate enough to see dolphins from the balcony/upper deck when the Gulf was calm. It was beautiful! If you are looking for a property that accommodates your family and is in a quieter area of Gulf Shores (away from the crowds), this is definitely where you want to stay. No issues at all with the owners and property management company! We would definitely rent this property or another property with them again!

Great Family Vacation Home

The house and pool were all that we hoped for, both being clean and well maintained. The pool was a nice size, heated, and was surrounded with more than enough chairs/recliners to accommodate a large party. The kitchen was the most well equipped (Pots, pans, silverware, dishes, small appliances, etc.) of any place we have ever rented. The house had lots of storage space, with 2 refrigerators and a large pantry. All the rooms were exactly as advertised, and the common areas had lots of seating.

Easter Break

The house is great! We had 3 generations staying. The 2 living spaces made it perfect to have different interests going on at same time. Large centrally located kitchen with 2 refrigerators made it perfect for preparing meals or just having a snack. The heated pool was much appreciated as the weather was cool and you couldn’t go into the gulf. I’d highly recommend and will book again if dates work!!

We had a very good experience the entire time of our stay. Everything was well managed, A couple of very small problems with the house we never felt required notifying the management company. Everything was very close from restaurants to shopping. The proximity to the beach was ideal, Up-and-over the Doone and you're on the beach, It was beautiful. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your house.

Beach front for large families

The covered pool under the house is genius and we really appreciated it when it was raining in the morning. The deck was put to good use with nightly charades and morning coffee while enjoying the ocean waves. We had 3 families totaling 11 people (3 of which were under 5) there is a wing of the house which is out of the normal traffic flow so that kids can be napping without the rest of the guests disturbing them, and the house did not feel crowded.
