Blue Heron
2175 West Beach Blvd

25-02-22. Summer on Sale! Quick 'escape the cold' summer sale! First 2 bookings get 15% off. This is ALREADY priced in and should show as a strikethrough/discount on the booking page. Fab place... for less! Act quick, 2 will go fast! Spring dates too!

2025-02-23. Brand new virtual tour up now, and the new HDR photography up soon! Wow! What a great looking place! :-)

So cute. So nice. Beachfront 5BR sleeps up to 18. Wide open beach feels like your own. Expansive views from the BIG decks. Whether sunrise or sunset, coffee or cocktails, you'll love it! Guest favorite since we bought it. The heatable pool is in! It is 21x11x5 and sheltered under the southern side of the home. New pool pics too! Extraordinary place! Come relax in our home.
Wifi! You bet. Strong. Very usable for work or play. A Keurig, and two drip coffee makers, because... coffee! Coffee not your thing? Ice! Stand alone ice maker, and ice maker in the fridge too. Roku on the main living room tv for those who want to login to their streaming services from the vacation!

More! Many summer weeks gone already! Get it before it's gone.

We've christened her the Blue Heron, because she reminds us a bit of that majestic seaside bird, plus check out that blue, and the reflection of the sky too!

LOCATION!
OMG. The BEST wide open beach area right behind your home, and those views from all the BIG decks? Oh so awesome! Beachfront. Yeah, THIS is beachfront!

POOL?
You bet! Absolutely. Awesome heatable pool sheltered under the home for a little respite from the hot hot hot of the sun! Private heatable pool. No sharing. 20x10x3-5' Rectangle, and added a propane gas pool heater, so YES the pool is heatable to a maximum of 82-84' (the high side of recommended rec pool temps) to take the chill off! This service is by request in advance with a nightly surcharge that varies by season and is per night for length of stay (the 12 month range has been $65-85 depending on season) gas is expensive right now, this does not actually recoup the cost!). Simply request the pool be heated any time after making the reservation and any time up to at least a few days before check in so we can get it on before you arrive. See our FAQ about heatable pools too. The pool is beachside, in the sun, with an expansive deck area around it, PLUS a nice shaded and sheltered area to escape the heat, right under the home. Nice!

EXTRA FRIDGE (and an ice maker too)
Extra fridge? Of course! Full size extra fridge, right around the corner from the kitchen! Oh, and under counter ice maker too (and one in the fridge... because... ice!).

BEACH ACCESS
Um, yeah! BEACHFRONT. Right out the back door. Nothing between you and the water but sand!

PARKING
There is available onsite parking for 4-6 cars.

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 rock solid and ran > 250Mb 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.

PETS
We do consider well-behaved canine furry friends. This requires owner pre-approval, and is subject to a pet fee (currently $250 per pet). Please inquire. Subject to restrictions which often vary by season. Again, please inquire.

Snowbirds welcome. Inquire for best rates. No smoking please. Kids welcome! Weddings and reunions okay too!

And if Blue Heron is not quite the right size, we own several more homes, bigger, smaller. What do you need? Also also! Blue Heron is only a couple doors east of Dancing Dolphin (and that many west of Egret and Erica's Sandpiper) so you can be close but not too close to other people if that's the way you roll!

Loved Blue Heron

Overall, we loved the place. It was a great fit for our family and met all of our needs. It was nice to go to the pool after a hot day on the beach. The only thing we really noticed is that the house didn't have any spices at all left over from previous guests. Maybe they are always removed, but in all of our previous rentals there's typically been at least table salt. Also, probably worth mentioning that the dishwasher is not screwed in to the counter and had to be pushed back into place a couple times. Neither of those comments is a negative reflection for the blue heron or our experience there. We really had a great time.

We loved the property! The location is great, the beach access is wonderful and the pool is an added plus. The only drawback we experienced was a problem with the main level air our last 2 days. Haleigh had someone come right out to look at it but it continued to run hot. Because of this I rated the property 4 stars. Otherwise our stay was wonderful!

Friends and family get away

We had a wonderful time at the blue heron. Plenty of room and great location to the beach. However, there were some things that were disappointing. 1. No extra blankets2. Only one dish towel and kitchen towel3. Internet’s description of bed situation and location of the beds4. No beach chairs/towels5. Bedroom mattresses were horrible in the master and middle bedroom upstairs- like horrible and didn’t sleep well all weekAlthough the above was a disappointment, we still had a great time and would totally come back! The porches were awesome with the Adirondack chairs and table. The doors out each bedroom were a great amenity for each couple. Thanks for the great memories for our family and friends. We hope to come back and enjoy your properties again next year!!

Perfect, and so incredibly thankful!

We were incredibly thankful to get a response and approval to book so quick considering we booked day of arrival (running from a vacation hurricane). Before we came, Rick even offered to put us up in another one of his places inland if we arrived here and the hurricane shifted west. The house was perfect to meet our needs and could have held more people. We loved how the 3 upstairs rooms had their own view/balcony access. Master suite was luxury size lol. Pool was great! Parking was easy. Kitchen had everything we needed for cooking meals and had 2 fridges. An exterior elevator would be nice for sending luggage and groceries to the main floor (be prepared to walk up and down a lot of stairs) but that's the price you pay for the VIEW which is perfect!! [Awesome! 😎😎😎 I am so glad I was able to help save your vacay when Helene chased you west. I am sorry you, and the homeowner, were impacted by the hurricane, but am happy I was able to assist you all. I'd be happy to have you all back anytime, and appreciate the super nice review 🤗, and that you loved everything from the kitchen to the decks, and the master suite, and more (and of course the VIEWS, right?! Love sitting on the deck having coffee and my laptop). Thanks again! 🙏]

Loved Blue Heron!!!

We loved loved loved the blue heron! The location was great, away from all the area with condos. The back porch was amazing we enjoyed breakfast and coffee out there. The ice maker was a nice surprise saved us on making many trips to Waves. This was my favorite house we have stayed in so far. If we had a couple more of the grown up couples we would have rather been in the others with more bathroom. But this one was the best. I really can't think of anything that was missed. When we got there one coffee pot had a sign on it it was broken. But it just needed the pipe hooked up back inside. Everything worked well. Oh and the nice big laundry room was great to place our ice chest and extras in. We loved it all![Yay! 😁 Thanks Traci! Glad you all had a fantastic time! Reach out to me or any of the Bama Beach Houses gang when ready to lock down next year's trip! 🙏]

Good property, little pricey. The pipes in the showers upstairs had a whistling noise when in use. Also, could use dishtowels and potholders in the kitchen-only one dishtowel was there. No show stoppers, just would be good to look into.

Great location

Lots of room. Extra frig is a must with families. Loved that. Huge space for everyone to have a spot of their own if needed. Pool a bonus for us. Only complaint is the sleeping bottom floor there is no A/C in that room. I get that it would be for kids and they probably wouldn’t care but 18 yr old didn’t care for the hot room. Location is perfect. Away from the busy beach. This beach was always quiet. You can enjoy the view all the time. Management was incredible. Very fast response to any questions I had.

Nice Week on the Gulf

The weather was beautiful 7 out of 9 days! One massive storm that was not too fun. Sand blew from all over and into the pool. One call to the management company and it was taken care of - they were really great. Extremely pleasant! Just like most rentals - some quirks but overall the 6 of us had a great time. A little shore fishing - swimming - sunning and chilling! No problem with beds whatsoever! Very comfortable.

Good stay at the BH

Nice house. Good size rooms. Clean upon arrival and appliances in working order. Beach is nice in this location with tons of shells for the kids to sift through. There is a kettle grill here, but it wasn't in the listing...we brought our own portable though to use. The pool is probably more of a treat in the summer; we paid extra for the heat but the wind tunneled through under the house that made it too breezy for most days.

Family spring break get away

This property was the perfect size for our family of 16! Plenty of room and great location. The heated pool was perfect for the chillier days. The trash service was great. The only down side we could see was the lack of kitchen supplies. Overall we highly recommend this house if you have a bigger group and want to be right on the beach with a heated pool option. Very kid friendly and would stay there again!

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.

Why this one? Oh come on! Its so cute! And its just like home. Check out the welcome sign and the master bath: Relax!

Sometimes you want to be on the beach, but in a home that feels like, well, home! Blue Heron is just that. In fact, it has been owner-occupied until we bought it midsummer 2019. It has all the touches of home. Though perhaps a little more organized than mine--I blame the kids...

Blue Heron is uber-cute, has lots and lots of beach, is secluded, and just a couple doors down from our Dancing Dolphin, another home that is well, a home away from home!
