Great condo

We stayed here from Christmas Eve to New Year’s Eve. The condo was very clean and well stocked. It is a very nice condo. We will definitely stay here again if we ever make it back to the area. Terri was very responsive to any questions we had. The only con was having to go up and down two flights of stairs, but it is understandable due to being so close to the beach.

Great Family Vacation

We had a wonderful experience staying at this property. The owner was quick to respond to messages and was so very friendly and helpful. The unit was as pictured and described. We had everything we needed. The unit is close to the tennis courts and pool and an easy walk to the beautiful beach. The sand is white and the water clear. We will not hesitate to return!

Best rental ever!!!

We've stayed in many vrbo's, this one is by far the best! Very clean and well stocked! Thank you so much Terri and Rick! Your home is beautiful! A true home away from home. Keep your house keepers. They are great and hard to come by these days. Thanks again, Kim

A little misleading on the beach access. Had to stretch to see the ocean. Need information on how to operate the TV.

Best Beach Vacay Yet!

We were so happy with our stay at this wonderful property! It was perfectly equipped for our family's stay! The kitchen had everything you could need. I was super happy with the crockpot for making a meal while we enjoyed the beach during the day and the pantry with baskets for organizing your items was a wonderful bonus! Our kids were super happy with their room and the TV with streaming apps for movies and shows while taking a break from the sun in the evenings. It was so nice to have beach towels, chairs, and toys for the kids already there as well. The unit was super convenient to the little restaurants and the state park on the cape as well. We definitely plan to return not only Cape San Blas but to this unit as well!

Perfect Beach Getaway Spot

Heron's Hideaway was packed full of sweet and special personal touches that made our trip the perfect beach getaway. The location right on the beach and next to the pool served our small kids well for naptimes and quick walks back to the air conditioning. The host was very responsive and kind as she walked us through our first stay at the Cape. This quiet beach was ideal for our family's sunny beach days, sunset walks looking for shells, & nightly bonfires to make s'mores & stargaze. We couldn't have asked for a better beach experience!

All the comforts of home!!

Owners have really out done themselves with adding so many little touches and amenities I can't list them all. Floor plan ideal for early risers with a choice between 3 patios or large living room to enjoy your morning coffee. We are seasoned vacation rental renters and this unit and the property owners have really earned a ☆☆☆☆☆(five star) rating. Regarding Barrier Dunes I am not so sure there is any other option on the Cape that can beat these units. (2) pools, tennis courts, easy access to beach and within walking distance to 2 great restuarants. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home.
