Mother-Daughter Getaway

We had a lovely time in our favorite neighborhood. This is the third time we have chosen this complex and it's for good reason. So convenient to everything. This unit has the most comfortable beds and pillows. Very straight forward (nothing superfluous) and easy to settle-in to. There is very little privacy in this unit because of it's location & my only negative is that no coffee was provided. I would have loved to have had at least 1 or 2 to start our first morning after our late arrival the previous day.

Fun trip with kids!

We enjoyed the location of the property. It’s relatively close to Grayton Beach State Park, Seaside, Grayton but still feels like you’re away from the crowd at night. The property was clean and we had no issues. We enjoyed our stay.

Great condo

Great condo. Clean and very comfortable. A little bit too far from the beach (espy since the beach parking lot has room for 10-12 cars) the walk was not too terrible for us but not ideal for families with small children

Spring getaway

The condo at Heron's Watch worked for our party of three. We wanted to get away from Ohio and love the 30A area. My husband and I worked remote during the two weeks we stayed We took many1/2 days of vacation plus with the time difference we were off work by 3:30pm., so we had plenty of time to do the things we wanted to do. We visited Seaside, Rosemary Beach, 30A Farmer's Market in Rosemary Beach, Grayton Beach, The Hub, Grand Boulevard and of course the beautiful beaches. For beach days, we utilized the Santa Clara Regional Beach access. It was about 6 minutes from the condo and had parking and restrooms. The pros about the place; nice furnishings, quiet complex, easy check-in/check-out process, and great location. Some suggestions: the carpets in the bedrooms and rug in the living area needs cleaned. Both are very dirty. Also, one of the reasons we book a place with a kitchen is to use it, so please leave some space in the cabinets for grocery items since there is no pantry. We had to rearrange things in the cabinets to make room. Plus, there are way too many cups/glasses and bowls. I think we counted at least 80 cups/glasses and more bowls than necessary. All in all the place worked for us. The condo complex is next to the Old Florida Fish House which has an amazing atmosphere and food. We walked to dinner three times. You can also walk to a coffee house and a place to get ice cream (even though the Blue Mountain Creamery is better). We visited the Shops of Grayton and discovered the Black Bear Bread Co. The pastries were amazing. We went back several times and tried several different things. Also we saw a real black bear one night on our way back from the Perfect Pig in Gulf Place. We were not expecting to come to the beach and see a bear.
