A Diamond in the rough! A++++++++

The location is private, on a residential street. With only four cottages, this is a perfect spot for a family, girls weekend or couples retreat. I can't say enough about this place! It was very clean! I have stayed at many VRBO's and this one was the cleanest by far! It had every single amenity that you could possibly need: Gas and Charcoal grills, chairs to sit out front with your morning coffee, shelling station, free bikes to enjoy the endless nature trails or to the local grocery store. The beds, sheets, and pillows were all very comfortable. The trip to the beach? Towels, umbrellas, chairs AND for the extra bonus, they have wagons to use to haul your stuff. They have private beach parking with a parking pass if you chose to not walk the 5 minute walk to the beach. The beach is very private with very few beach goers. My guess is the cottage is nestled within private homes and there did not appear to be any resorts. If you are looking for something more private and away from the hustle and bustle of resort life, this is it! I will be back again and again. This place will NOT disappoint!

To many things were wrong.

At first glance the property seemed good, then one thing after another went wrong. All the dishes and silverware were put away dirty. The oven didn’t work. A/c wasn’t cooling well. One in the bedroom would shut off randomly. No hot water in the second bathroom and ants in the first bathroom. I called the emergency line for the property manager and was told they would call for someone to come and fix the air, no one came the first night and I had to call again the next day for help. They sent maintenance and said the problem was resolved but it wasn’t. All in all a very disappointing stay.

Not able to go due to hurricane and property damage.. no refund or credit!

We were unable to use our rental because it suffered damage from the most recent hurricane. I reached out to the host, Breakaway Vacation properties, not to request a refund, but to ask for a credit to use at the same property once it was repaired: I was told that the rental company does not issue any credit based on the contract. We are now out over 1000.00 We were unable to take our vacation , and lost a lot of money. I understand that Sanibel island was devastated by the storm.. I was not expecting g s refund.. just little curtesy . I will book at hotels from now on where I k ow a refund is guaranteed due to severe weather events. I will never book through VRBO again .

Fantastic!! Highly Recommend!

We absolutely loved this cottage. It was super cute, and very charming. We especially loved the location, and the beach parking/access tag! Would definitely stay here again, and would highly recommend. My kids (2 & 4) loved chasing all of the lizards and we loved that it was not right on the street so they could play!

Great little cottage

Enjoyed our stay in 1 Heron. Quiet, clean cottage only about 1/4 mile walk or bike ride to the beach. Enjoyed using the bikes to do some geocaching and exploring the island. Only a couple of miles from the Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge. Enjoyed a drive through and also rode our bikes there. Also recommend the evening cruise with Tarpon Bay Explorers. And give Captain Andy a call to set up a private fishing charter!

Nice for an evening

A nice place for one evening. We weren’t there long enough to explore but after checking out we visited J.N. Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge and enjoyed that, the walk and the drive. The second bedroom is only accessible inside through the master bedroom which wasn’t clear in the listing although it does have an outside door.

Nice place

Despite terrible communication across multiple platforms before booking, we booked anyway. And even though the communication was still mostly poor during the stay, we had a great time!! I would definitely book again. Normally first thing I do at a hotel is read the info binder, and I neglected to do that here, which would have solved several of my issues the first few days. :) So I would highly recommend reading the book, and highly recommend booking this place. Keep in mind it is not a short walk to the beach, it's long and hot and the wagon we used was veeeeery difficult to pull. The next beach trip we used the bikes which was better. But the umbrella for the unit was missing the part that sticks in the ground. Someone in another review complained about the sink being too small but it was fine for us and no other complaints!!! The unit was perfect and we were happy.

Heron 1

Great location for exploring both Sanibel and Captiva. Cozy location, enjoyed our stay. Cabins are cute and clean. Beach is incredible, it is at the end of the street and a path back. Bikes were nice to have and beach gear! Some of the gear was more than gently used and could be replaced. However,overall for our get away it worked. Definitely recommend fishing with Captain Andy as recommended! Great time. Would be fun to rent the entire set of cabins with friends.
