About this house rental
Situated in West Beach, this lovely house for R 20,198 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. Erica's Sandpiper 2075 West Beach Blvd Awesome place. BRAND NEW decks everywhere, with extra gates to corral kids. Erica's Sandpiper rocks! Erica.... Erica is my daughter! Used to be small.... not so much anymore! Sandpiper. Well, the bird. Erica's Sandpiper? Your new favorite beach home in Gulf Shores! This spacious upscale home gives you your own private covered pool added to an already fabulous home. Erica's Sandpiper is a very cool option. It, along with my Summertide home, are likely the only 8 bedroom homes with all 8 bedrooms on the same floor! Can't quite afford my homes with elevators but have some mobility concerns? Single floor! Erica's Sandpiper has all eight bedrooms, yes EIGHT, situated on one floor! Looking for the perfect home for your family gathering or reunion, look no further. This beautiful home has the following bedding arrangements: BEDDING: Northeast Bedroom: King Northwest Bedroom: King Southeast Bedroom: King Southwest Bedroom: 2 Queens Northeast Middle Bedroom: King Northwest Middle Bedroom: 2 Queens Southeast Middle Bedroom: King Southwest Middle Bedroom: Twin over Full Bunk South Living Room: Queen Sleeper Sofa Middle Living Room: Queen Sleeper Sofa Erica's Sandpiper is located directly on the Gulf Coast. The only thing between you and the Gulf is beach and, of course, your own private covered swimming pool and spacious Gulf front deck. Other amenities include TWO refrigerators, televisions, dvd players, cable, internet, 2 large living areas, and covered parking. The master bath has a shower and tub. Multiple bedrooms have balcony access. Erica's Sandpiper is a truly luxurious EIGHT bedroom home with all the deluxe amenities you've come to expect from our vacation homes and many surprises! She books quickly even a year out. Erica's Sandpiper, by the way, is RIGHT NEXT DOOR to my Egret home (6 bedroom, also single story), so if you need more room to spread out, rent both (if either is even available... these go fast!). What else? More of course! 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. MORE ROOM? ANOTHER PLACE? Or... a little LESS SPACE? We own 4 great homes right by each other. Egret is closest, 1 door away, and has the same great single story layout with two living rooms but is a 6 bedroom. And, very close by are Dancing Dolphin and Blue Heron (two 5 bedrooms, 1 door from each other).

It was our 1st time renting a house on the beach and we are hooked.
The house was set up perfectly for entertaining etc...
You mentioned the Blue Angels, wow what a show. It felt like they were putting on a show just for west beach. Super cool!
Really nothing negative maintenance wise or for that matter anything about your house. My entire family really enjoyed it!

Lots of space for all of us. All on one level, which was very nice. TWO living rooms, oh, and TWO refrigerators. Great location, with a wide open beach area. We had the best stay. Thank you!

Perfect location! From the moment we stepped on the property it was great! The location was perfect to spend time at the beach or go to the city and enjoy the sites. When things didn't work right, the management company came right away to address the issue. They were very cooperative and showed my friends and I lots of hospitality! I will definitely be renting here again!

Right on the beach. Beach sand is soft and white. All bedrooms have their own bathrooms and are quiet. Kitchen is well supplied with 2 refrigerators. Pool under house with lots of loungers. Perfect for our group of 17. Even had a high chair. Clean. Great communication with management company and owners. Would consider it again if we had a large group.

We had a great time and really enjoyed the house. We had an issue with 1 toilet (broken flusher) and it was quickly fixed. We had some brown water 1 day and the maintenance guy came quickly and told us it was due to something with the city pipes; it was only for a short time. We saw the pool guys a few times and they were always friendly. We enjoyed the cheese cake - thank you!

We had a great time! This was our first time renting a beach house as we normally rent multiple condos instead. We really enjoyed your property at Erica's Sandpiper! I've communicated some with Kaiser and they were great! We accidentally left a few items behind, first time doing that, and Ashley dropped off those items to UPS today to ship back to me. I was pleasantly surprised by this! All in all, we had a great overall experience!

We rented Erica's Sandpiper and The Egret for a week for a family vacation and wedding. They were both fantastic houses and surpassed our expectations! Everything was nice and clean, the views of the Gulf from the upper decks were breathtaking, and we even had wonderful views of dolphins from the upper decks at both houses! We would definitely stay at either of these houses again or even a different Bama Beach House. The owners were very easy to work with. The property management company was attentive. There was one issue getting the Gulf side door to open on Erica's Sandpiper. We reported it and someone came out right away to repair it.

You have a beautiful beach home! It was perfect for our family - we had a wonderful time. The Little's loved the pool - that was a nice treat! We tried to leave it as we found it.... The kitchen was nicely stocked. Two coffee makers was nice. This was our first family trip to Gulf Shores we hope to return again - we usually go to Mexico Beach but as you know most of the houses were destroyed in the storm. Your house is in a perfect area with not much traffic, very nice! Thank you for the use of your home.

This place was great. Will come back again with a big group. 16 of us were all comfortable. The layout of the place is the best. Everybody on one floor but even with 16 people it was never crowded. The location is just minutes from town. Nice and quiet. Had the whole beach to ourselves. Loved it! Loved it! Loved it!

One of our favorite houses in Gulf Shores, we have been coming for the past 40 years. Great place!!

We loved the house! It was so spacious and fit our family great! We had 8 adults and 4 kids under the age of 4.
The house was very clean with a great layout. The 2 dens and 2 refrigerators helped greatly! We loved the location - not in the middle of all the hubbub yet close enough to get anything we wanted without a problem! It was also nice that the house was close enough to the water to make it easy to go back in forth with the little ones! Plan to head back next year! Thanks Rick!

Eric’s Sandpiper was great for our family trip! House was furnished with all appliances needed for our stay. A couple mattresses could be replaced but overall it was good. Maintenance people were excellent!! Would definitely recommend this house for a large family or group. Pool under the house was great to just sit around in the evening.

The location of the beach house is amazing. Unfortunately, our granddaughter stepped on a nail on deck, she ended up with a hole in foot. Deck should have screws instead of nails. Also, a good cleaning in corners and vents would be helpful.

Erica's Sandpiper was the perfect place to gather for our Family Reunion. There was plenty of room for all twenty of us. The main attraction and place to get out of the sun was the pool under the house. We spent many hours playing pool volleyball, after being in the sun on the beach. The management team and owners were excellent with communication and making our stay enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this house for your stay in Gulf Shores, AL.

We stayed here for a long weekend and had an amazing time. House is exactly as pictured in the description, beautiful house located right on the beach with amazing views. Homeowners/management company were great with responding to any messages/questions very quickly throughout the process
