Erica's Sandpiper. 8BR Beachfront. Heatable Pool. Single story!
Erica's Sandpiper 2075 West Beach Blvd
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!
Awesome place! Stand-alone beachfront home with private heatable pool, and an fantastic all-on-one-level floor plan! Recently replaced decks everywhere, with extra gates to corral kids. Erica's Sandpiper rocks! Yes, that ticks all the common question boxes: is it a home? Yes. Is it beachfront, yes! Does it have a pool? Yes! Is the pool private? Yes! Can the pool be heated. Yes! Yes, yes, yes! :-)
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 Want to check out all of the nooks and crannies yourself? Check out our NEW 3D virtual tour:

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). Check them out:
Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector)
Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property)
You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions

Our family decided for the first time to have Christmas away from home and on the beach. Erica’s Sandpiper provided us with a great location, access to the beach and restaurants and a cozy home to spend time together when it was a little chilly outside this time of year.
We had a great time staying in Erika's Sandpiper. There was plenty of room to spread out and each room has its own bathroom which is fabulous. The kitchen was well stocked with mixers, pans, bowls, a toaster, etc and had 2 refrigerators which helped out a lot with a big group. Plenty of parking for our cars and a great space underneath with the pool area. We will definitely come back!

Coming back next year
Had a really great family vacation. Already booked for next year!
We loved staying at Erica’s Sandpiper. It was in a beautiful, quiet spot right on the gulf. Far enough away from the crowds, but close enough to make grocery store runs or go out to eat. The inside had plenty of space and was very clean.

Erica's Sandpiper
We really enjoyed the home..... The redo was really nice and the view of the gulf is spectacular!
The house was great. We have a large family and everyone had their own space. Kitchen had almost everything you need. It is only a short walk to the beach! And the heated pool was great for the little ones and adults of an evening.
Loved the one level layout!!! Lots of room. The beach area was quiet and private. Hosts were caring and checked on us. Definitely would stay here again! A great experience all around!
We absolutely loved our stay at Erica’s. The house is beautiful and I have to say the pictures online really don’t do the house justice. We were in awe when we arrived! So much space and beauty! The house was clean. The pool was clean (and just a great asset for our family). We loved the deck, the short trip to the beach and we all just had a great vacation. Thank you!

Another year... same great experience!
Thank you again Rick. Our family had another great time in your 'Erica's' place! We will be back--as long as you'll have us!
The house layout is great for a big family. The location is perfect and the pool area was nice. We loved having a bathroom for every bedroom. It was clean at check-in. Suggestions would be new mattresses, new couches and tall chairs for the balcony.

Loved every minute!
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!
We absolutely loved Erica’s Sandpiper. The one story layout was great for some of the older family members to get around. The bedroom layout with each having its own bath was perfect. And there was plenty of space for everyone to spread out. We had some great days out on the deck and easy walks to the beach, which is why we go. Even enough space for card games and puzzles. Definitely recommend

Loved Erica's Sandpiper!
We loved our stay at Erica's Sandpiper! This one story was surprisingly spacious, with an easy walk to the beach and large pool. Location is away from the crowded high rises, but close enough to anything you want to do in Gulf Shores. Would recommend!
[😎 Thank you Mandy! Glad you all had a great ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ time! Reach out to me or Bama Beach Houses if you have any suggestions, or when ready to set up that return trip! Have a great rest of the summer, and year!]
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!

We absolutely loved Erica's Sandpiper!
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!

Very happy campers at Erica's Sandpiper
Very happy with our stay. A few minor things that I made host aware of. Broken table on back porch (side was chipped), trash can in the kitchen was the same. There was a tropical storm while we were there, some rain blew in the sliding doors, small enough to clean up with a towel, and microwave quit working after slight power surge during the storm. Host was very attentive throughout stay. House was beautiful and pvt beach access was the best!!!

Really enjoyed Erica's Sandpiper
We really enjoyed our stay last summer. All of the upgrades were noticed and greatly appreciated. Thank you for helping us with the lock issue. The people that fixed it were very friendly and responsive to the problem. Thank you! We will be back in 2025!
