Location is better than described

Perfect view of the beach/ocean. Steps from the beach. The beach was blocked off a 1/4 mile down each way that blocked cars from driving on the beach where the house was located. Prefect house. Very cozy. Definitely will rebook if the opportunity presents itself.

Beautiful house with amazing views!

We loved staying here and will definitely be back! The house is very clean, cozy, spacious and beautifully decorated. You are literally a few steps from the beach and have amazing views from every window and patio of the house. The beds were all very comfy and the master has great views but also roll down blinds to shade the large windows for sleeping. We love to cook so the large kitchen with new appliances and all the cookware was great. Overall, the house has everything you need and more than enough space. The owner is extremely responsive and nice! We can’t wait to go back!

Girls trip

The Blue Heron was great! Beautiful views, very nice updated kitchen...the whole place was very nice! We had 6 adults and had tons of room to spread out. 6 chairs on the deck to enjoy the breeze and view, even had chairs we could take down on the beach. The only issue would be that the door had a code to unlock that did not work but there was a lock box with keys in it (with said code) but that detail wasn't communicated. It was not a problem, it just took a minute to figure out that this was what you needed the code for. Other than that, I would stay here again if I had a large group. It was a beautiful place with great views and access to the beach. Th
