My family loved our stay at the Blue Heron! Plenty of room for guests, a great kids room, lots of games and toys (the whole family loved the ping pong), beautiful private beach, and relaxing hot tub. The house was clean and well maintained. The communication was great, too. We can’t wait to come back!

The house was wonderful, the inside was clean and spacious. There was a number of amenities that were provided by the host; bathroom towels, beach towels, bath products, a number of utensils and cookware, coffees, teas, games to name a few things. The host was very easy to get ahold of and the very minor things that came up during our stay were resolved very quickly. There are a few stairs to get down to the beach, we enjoyed counting them, but there are benches and landings all the way up to rest if needed. I highly recommend this property and we can’t wait to come back

End of summer getaway to paradise!

The Blue Heron absolutely surpassed our expectations! Our family of four traveled with another family of four, and no one wanted to leave the property for the duration of our stay (kids included)! We were greeted with a lovely welcome gift, and immediately noticed the stunning views! The beach is beautiful, and the privacy provides such a serene, peaceful atmosphere. Having two master suites was so convenient! The beds are very comfortable, and the hot tub is the perfect way to unwind at the end of a long day, or start the day with coffee and a gorgeous sunrise over the water. The kitchen is well-stocked and spacious, and we enjoyed the ease of cooking meals together without feeling like we were constantly in each other's way or on top of one another. The beach towels sand toys provided for the kids were much appreciated, as well as the firewood for a lovely beach bonfire in the evenings. We were able to get to restaurants and stores, if needed, within 10 minutes or less, but honestly we didn't leave the property often. We would definitely return in the future!
