We first stayed at The Blue Heron three years ago and were very impressed. So, we have kept going back. JP and Jill are super hosts . Our needs are met immediately. The apt. Is clean with a fully functional kitchen and outdoor grill. There is a laundry for our use there also. This property is close to downtown in a very walkable and safe neighborhood. It is near to bike riding paths and golf courses. It also has a back deck and our dog is welcome too! We love it and will be going back. Mark and Kathy
