My family and I had a wonderful trip. We were in town for a wedding and decided to make a vacation out of it. The condo is large we had plenty of room! The kitchen has anything you could possibly need during your stay! The only negatives I have about the stay is our 3 year old’s feet would get solid black from walking on the floor. We mopped however it was maybe the grout of the tile it needs a good mopping all that was there was a swifter so we could not truly get it clean. Second the trash shoot next to the elevator is great except it seemed like it was full every morning we tried to use it.

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!
