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
