Jun 23, 2025 #### Great Location!! Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property was great. The location was the best, an easy walk to the beach and restaurants. You are right in the middle of everything but the condo itself is secluded enough that you didn't feel like you were. Was very clean but could use a little updating. The only real complaint I would have is that the beds were very hard and not comfortable and there was no grill. Other than that was great. I Would definitely stay here again and recommend for anyone else. ##### Amber G. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy F. Aug 29, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely location, We’ll be back We have stayed many times in Gulf Place in different rentals depending on the size of our party and Blue Heron was a hit. The spacious gathering space made eating together for 11 easy and the highly equipped kitchen made cooking most meals in the time of Covid a breeze. The walkability of the area between beach and restaurants was my favorite. We had a problem with the internet for the first few days and a disappointing response at first from the Dune-Allen realty but everything was worked out and all future issues were quickly addressed. Definitely a winner. ##### Amy F. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Nathan S. Apr 5, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Well appointed, nice location Very well appointed end unit townhome, a 5-minute walk to the beach, and restaurants with nice tennis courts and a nice unheated pool. Description a bit misleading in that the 3rd "bedroom" was a loft without a door and both full bathrooms had to be accessed via one of the other bedrooms. Turned out to be fine for our teens who could sleep through the noise and don't need to use the bathroom at night, but still a bit less privacy than we expected. Home was very well appointed in the kitchen, with lots of books and games for rainy days (not that we needed them). ##### Nathan S. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Travers H. Jul 30, 2020 Liked: Communication, location Disliked: Check-in #### the facts Convenient location within walking distance of beach, shopping, restaurants....quiet street Needs a few tweaks to make the place better...some slight upgrades and some tlc such as....Master bedroom door wouldnt close without force. TV's were old and way too small for living room and master bedroom....looked like 36 inch tv's No grill of any sort No keurig... ##### Travers H. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Felicia L. Jul 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful home but hot We decided to take a short vacation to Florida. We were able to book the Blue Heroin. Can I say the property was beautiful and the online pictures does not really showcase this beauty. It is within walking distance to the beach and foods. It gives access to the community pool. The only downside was that the AC unit went out during our first night of arrival. Management did respond but unfortunately the part was not available. We did receive portable units on our last night of stay but it was still hot. Overall a good. property. ##### Felicia L. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erin E.
