Beautiful house with an amazing view
Our family had a great time at the Heron's Cove Cottage, this was our second visit. The house is perfect for our family of 6, clean and has a beautiful view of the Sandbar. The Sandbar Marina and Grill is close by and the house is close to many restaurants and grocery stores. Highly recommend.

Overall a very nice place to spend some time away from home
The property was amazing the only thing we wished was different is the water isnt able to be drank from the faucet and leaves behind a slightly unpleasent smell. Im assuming its well water considering the location of the house. But its worth dealing with for the privacy and virw

Beautiful view and relaxing stay
The house was exactly as advertised with a stunning view of the lake, convenient to restaurants and popular spots on the lake. The house itself had lots of extras like kayaks, games, grill etc. This was a perfect vacation for our family of 6 and we hope to stay again soon!

Relaxing Lake Front Property
We had a really wonderful stay. The owners were very responsive and helpful and the house was clean and had everything we needed for a short birthday celebration trip. We enjoyed the lake and took the kayaks out one afternoon. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room for the six of us. Would definitely stay here again!
