Great Stay

We had a great stay at the Heron! The condo was just as described, and everything was great! There was so much to do on site such as multiple pools, a lazy river, a dock to walk out on to watch dolphins, and the ocean a short walk away. Thanks for a great stay!

Great Place to Stay

This was a spacious and clean condo with extremely comfortable beds in every room. Nice linens throughout and plenty of bath towels. Great location, easy parking, wonderful pool area. An improvement that would make this place even better would be a different patio set. The unit has a beautiful huge patio but only has one small high table on it with four chairs (and only one of the chairs actually allows you to sit at the table). The other three chairs appear to be from a different set and are too short for the existing table. Other than that, we were very pleased!

Wonderful ❤️

I love the read reviews to help me make my decision. This was such wonderful stay!!! The condo was extremely clean, quiet, comfy, and convenient. Easy parking. Informative management. Pictures are exactly what you get. The pool was GREAT for kids. We had ages 1,2,4,6 and adults. The the BEDS were amazing after a long day playing. First night we all woke up talking about how nice they were. We weren’t upset that we didn’t stay beach side because the pool was so nice for the kids with shade and lots of pool options. Love the beach entry pool for the little kids. We left shoes came back the next day and surprisingly they were still at pool at lost and found. We left our wagons out front with things in them for the beach every day and no one ever touched it. Wagons and chairs arent the best but I’m sure they are all hard to pull in the sand and not everyone takes care of things. Not the condos fault. We rented chairs one day. I recommend. Lots of beach toy options don’t haul those things from home. It says Tom Thumb next door but no that is a gas station. But there is a great clean little grocery store (Publix) down the road. They also have a few pool/beach things very reasonably priced. Emerald Bay is just down the road. Great things for kids during the day/ evening but wouldn’t take them real late. I would come back and stay again with my family!
