Clean and comfortable.....
Enjoyed our stay at the Blue Heron House. Very clean and comfortable. Check in was easy. Simple, no frills home but met our needs perfectly. Beds were very comfortable and linens and towels very nice. Only steps away from pool and tennis courts and close to the beach as well. Dock was great for boating. Fishing was great during our visit. Grounds very well maintained. Close to some great eating spots. Very scenic area. Local festivals were a bonus! Communication with owner was top notch. Pet friendly a plus for us. Will definitely consider this home on a return trip.

All was pleasant . The property is definitely remote. About 20 mins from a grocery store. Beach was close, but very small. Any questions were answered very quickly.

The house was very clean and the beds were so comfortable. It is in such a great community and the neighbors were very welcoming. Only a few blocks to a beautiful beach and the house is right on the canal with direct gulf access. Will definitely consider staying again. Thank you Blue Heron House!

Wonderful attention to detail
The attention to detail was outstanding: an abundance of plush towels, super soft bedding and blankets, comfortable mattresses, fully equipped kitchenware, and all soaps, shampoos, etc. one could require. It was far better than the infamous “starter kit” of essentials that most rentals offer. Dunkin’ coffee was even provided! There were tv’s in the master, one bedroom, and living room. The master bedroom had a sizable closet. The home was clean, nicely set-up, and smelled pleasant. The porch was lovely and the private dock was a lot of fun to fish off of. The beach only a mile away, with free parking. The home is within eyesight of the pool and tennis courts, which sadly was taken up with pickle-ballers a lot of the time (one of the reasons we booked here was for the tennis). However, the mobile home is surely not young and we had some trouble with things like the back glass sliding door to the point of it falling completely out of the track and the entire glass door onto our child. The closet doors also came unhinged and off track from their first opening. Restroom towel racks or hooks had fallen off the walls. No fault to the owner, the HOA of this community is brutally strict, making for some unpleasantries. Also, while close proximity of the pool and community entrance should have been wonderful, their gates at both places beeped incredibly loud and frequently that it became impossible to ignore, even audible from *inside* the mobile home. Overall a great trip!

Great getaway without the crowds.
Very relaxing place to spend a few days. We took my teen son’s kayak and he was able to fish from the dock, from the beach, and from his kayak. Nice beach without the beach crowds (and we were there on Memorial Day weekend). We prepared every meal at the property and didn’t even go in to town. Well stocked!

Fishing weekend with friends
Enjoyed the property. The home is very clean and slept 4 adults comfortably. The dock was great for our needs. It’d help for water to be attached for cleanup of boats and fish on the dock.

Loved Blue Heron House
There are so many things I like about Blue Heron House. It has a large dock with an aluminum ramp that has a sturdy railing. We brought a boat and it was perfect. It’s very close to the pool and the tennis court, and also close to the marina. The house is filled with light and has new floor and several new appliances. The towels were brand new and very soft. The neighborhood is quiet and the yards are well kept. And to top it all off, we were able to bring our dog! We had a lovely stay and will go back

Very clean and comfortable
We stayed here Easter weekend for a family gathering. The property is very clean and comfortable. We mainly just used it for sleeping since our family gathered elsewhere. The king bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable and the sheets were really soft. The bath towels were thick, white, clean and fresh-smelling. The kitchen appliances looked new. We only used the coffee pot. The coffee pot looked new and I was grateful it was a traditional quick brew 12-cup coffee pot and not a single brew K-cup style because we drink a lot of coffee. The property has three bedrooms with a king bed in the master, a queen bed in the second bedroom, and two twin beds in the third bedroom. We were really pleased with the property and will very likely use it again.
