This place was wonderful!

We had a great beach vacation! The ocean was just about 100 yards south and the lagoon 25 yards north. Everything we needed was in the condo. Will definitely try to stay in this condo next time.

EXCELLENT STAY

We really enjoyed our stay. The condo was very comfortable and clean. The kitchen was perfectly stocked and we enjoyed having a grill to ourselves. The beach amenities that the owners left access to was were perfect. We were the perfect distance to the beach, the private bay, and the pool. The pool is small but we had it to ourselves most evenings. We will definitely be staying here the next time we visit Gulf Shores!!

Had 2 condos for our family. Enjoyed the laid back attitude of other guests and owners. Dock became our meeting place. Lagoon was good for pulling our water ride. Went to the beach across the road and conditions were very good. Will return.

Wonderful!

The beach was just across the street, behind the houses. It was close enough that walking to the beach, even with 5 kids, was easy and convenient. We enjoyed our stay! Check in and check out was so simple and fast. We even called about a lock that we were unfamiliar with and they sent someone over within 30 minutes of the call to help. Everyone was so kind and helpful! Highly recommend!

GREAT VACATION

Took a trip to gulf shores for a fishing trip. Condo was very clean and equipped with everything you need. It was also larger than most of the condos. Beach was easy to get to and there is a lagoon and pier to fish off of. Liked having a grill at the condo instead of a community grill. Also enjoyed the large deck. Will definitely rent here again. they will let you bring your dog and most places will not.

Perfect location!

This was such a nice cozy place set away from the hustle and bustle of the main strip, yet still close to everything. The lagoon was beautiful and I couldn't keep bait on my hook which was awesome! The beach was just a short walk across the street. It was also so nice that the owners provided a cart to put all your beach equipment in so you didn't have to make multiple trips. There were also beach umbrellas and beach chairs they had for us. The house was comfortable and even though it's not completely beachfront, you get a glimpse of the ocean and lagoon from the beautiful balconies. I was very happy with this place and hope to be back soon!

Dirty & bugs 2.5 stars

We got there and there was 4 cockroaches( not palmetto bugs) and a bag of trash out when we got there (used cups and toilet paper) & the shower had hairs stuck on the wall from from previous guests. The pullout bed is unusable and caves in when your try and sleep on it. Bring an air mattress & it will help. I appreciated all the beach stuff provided & the wagon. It is easy access to the beach & the porch was nice.

Family Time

I couldn’t believe how easy check in was…we were running behind so we required a late check in. The office left my packet accessible to me, and I literally went in the next day and signed my waivers…so easy! The condo itself was clean for the most part, just a couple things I wish were different but I would totally recommend! Thanks for making my kiddos first beach experience so enjoyable!

Great Place

My group stayed in this rental for a week and it was a good experience. Check-in was a breeze and the location of the rental was optimal. We didn't have internet or cable when we first arrived, but the rental office was very efficient and helpful in getting it all set up for the rest of our stay. The kitchen had plenty of pots and pans for cooking and containers for food storage. It took only a few minutes to walk across the street to the beach, and we could see the lagoon from the wrap-around deck on our rental. There was a storage shed for beach supplies, and we ended up using a combination of the supplies we brought ourselves and some of the things already there in the shed. All in all, it was a nice getaway, and I cannot stress enough how nice and helpful the office staff was! 10/10 recommend.

Gorgeous views, horrible service

The place had roaches and was filthy. They don’t wash the mattress cover on the pull out couch, only sweep it off and fold it back up. I watched the cleaning lady do so, and asked her about it. She told me they don’t wash them just shake them off and put them back. Neighbors were amazing!! But management here not so much.

Amazing location

We absolutely loved our stay at Heron Landing. The pictures are exactly what the place looks like! The rooms are nice sized. The showers work good. There is plenty of cookwear and kitchen accessories. They have a charcoal grill. They have all the beach gear you could imagine needing. They even have fishing poles. The location is good for walk to beach. Driving distance to most restaurants and activities but we enjoyed that. Bring your own paper products and detergents. There is washer and dryer which made the stay much more enjoyable. We can NOT wait to come back! Hoping to make this our forever family vacation home. Only negatives, dishes were put away dirty in cabinet, mattress on pull out bed needs to be thrown away (however blow up mattress is very nice), toilet in upstairs bathroom runs constantly. Dishwasher did not release soap so had to do it twice and leave soap door open. Did not at all effect how we felt about our stay!

Decent overall

This was a last minute trip so we didnt have super high expectations. The dock was nice and the beach was just across the street, literally a couple minute walk. The property itself was okay, there was a bunch of random old stuff left in the car park area that we ended up cleaning up because we have kids and them stepping on something would have been an issue. There was some outdoor furniture that some guy came and drug off our porch early one morning and scared our daughter because clearly its a private porch, no one should have been on it but us. The home itself was nice enough. There was what looked to be dog hair in all the bathrooms and there were a ton of little sticker bush things in the carpet. I spent about 30 minutes picking those out which was pretty annoying. And we ended up finding a used condom wrapper under our bed, which honestly we never would have seen had our child not dropped her toy under there but thats besides the point. Overall I guess these didnt add up to huge problems, seems to be more of an issue with the cleaning company than anything.

Cute home near beach

We came for a beach volleyball tournament. The only reason I gave 3 for cleanliness was I found (dark) hair on the bathroom sink and one of the dresser drawers had some sticky residue that I didn't realize until after I repacked my clothes.
