Summer 2026 is ALMOST GONE and 2027 is filling up REAL FAST! Still looking for 2026? Contact us ASAP.
Don't forget, peak season is in swing and during peak season, we book Saturday to Saturday. So, if you're looking and don't see any availability, check to see if your stay duration falls under those parameters as that usually is the problem :) But, as always, feel free to reach out as we are always happy to help!
6BR 6BA. Gulf Shores. Beachfront. Single level floorplan. Pool. Nice! Stand-alone, did we say beachfront!, home.... no sharing!
NEW DECKS. All over. Awesome. Even added a platform by the pool. Makes our sweet multilevel beachfront decks even more special!
The Egret is a spacious 6 bedroom and 6 bathroom house is located directly on the beach. It is completely furnished and has a fully equipped kitchen including a TWO refrigerators, a dishwasher and microwave. TWO fabulous Great rooms with vaulted ceilings provide plenty of gathering space. Lots of deck space too, both in the sun, and sheltered/covered!
Great stretch of the beach. Lots of space. Secluded. Dunes. Nice. Like having the beach to yourself, seriously!
And Egret has lots of deck space, both covered and open, so you can lounge in whatever environment you want! Sun, some sun, no sun. Up to you!
BEDDING:
Northeast Bedroom: King Northwest Bedroom: 2 Queens East Middle Bedroom: Queen West Middle Bedroom: Twin over Full Bunk Southeast Bedroom: King Southwest Bedroom: 2 Queens
North Living Room: Queen Sleeper Sofa South Living Room: Queen Sleeper Sofa
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.
Events allowed: family gatherings, birthday parties, weddings
Pls inquire. No house parties!

5 - Very Satisfied
The location, the one floor living space and the serene beach access were great for our multigenerational group of 9 people. The heatable pool was paid for in advance and could not be used. Whether it was an operational issue or a climate situation didn't matter because it could not be corrected in the time we were there. 7 adults and two children would not use the pool due to water temperature. In the future I will not include a pool in my list of priorities when selecting a vacation home, and will not be returning to this home. The additional cost of a home with a pool is not worth the added expense.

Once again us church ladies had a great time in Egret!!!
We had a whole family trip. We lost our Dad the week before the trip. We all came together to grieve and help each other through this difficult time. The house was great! Right on the beach, away from public beaches. The pool under the house was nice and cleaned everyday. The house was clean, 2 refrigerators in the kitchen, fully stocked kitchen. We would definitely go back!
The perfect place to relax and enjoy all the beauty that Gulf Shores has to offer! I will definitely be back

Egret, No Regrets!
Our getaway was a Christmas gift to our kids and grandkids, and this property was just perfect for all 16 of us! Having each bedroom space with its own bathroom was just fantastic! It was clean and comfortable, and the pool underneath the home gave us the promise of water fun, no matter what the weather brought our way. The direct beach access and quiet, family oriented setting, made us feel like we had our own beach! The proximity to local eateries and shops was also wonderful. The owners are gracious and helpful, and we will not hesitate to come back again someday!!
We had a great time in a great place and location right on the beach.
Everything was there that we needed.

About the host
Hosted by Rick Goldsworthy
Instructional designer. Behavior change researcher. Father of 3. Teacher. Soccer coach. Hoosier. I'm interested in why people do the things they do, what we can do to change those things so that folks live happier and healthier lives, and how technology can help. Plus, well, I love Gulf Shores!
Egret. Egret is a nice change of pace. Pool underneath. 6 bedroom ALL on the same floor. That helps if some family is less mobile, or you want to keep an eye on some kiddos! Egret has a laid back vibe, and lots of decks, with a wrap around from the side, and a bi-level in the back.
My wife's family have traveled to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach Alabama for decades. I became a tag along in the late 1990s, so a Gulf Shores guy by marriage. One thing led to another and we ended up a several large, family-friendly, large group friendly, places along the Gulf.
Oh, beyond the description and "Why this Property?", you want more? Okay....
AND The Egret has LOTS of beach space. Don't like being right on top of the neighbors, and condos, on the beach!? Me either. And Egret, along with its nearby slightly larger sister home, Erica's Sandpiper, are on an area where you can spread out and generally not worry about folks right on top of you.
