The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood. The house was as shown on the RVA website. The furnishings were very comfortable, with a large dining table and a separate office area off the main bedroom. We used the spacious lanai every day. The location was a short bike ride or walk to the gated beach entrance which also had limited parking available. We enjoy walking and the nearby nature park offers great trails. There are numerous restaurants a short drive away. We especially enjoyed Dry Dock Waterfront Grill. Saint Armand's Circle is very convenient with lots of shopping and restaurants.The house was very clean with plenty of linens and a well equipped kitchen.RVA personnel were very prompt and helpful answering any questions. Would recommend Blue Heron House for anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable vacation. ##### James K. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### BILL S. 17 Feb 2022 #### Blue Heron Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: As the first renter at this home, there are things that can and, will likely, be improved. I give the owner and real estate company a pass as we were anxious to remain in Florida for the month of January and had to get into a property with only a couple days remaining in December.Jill and Keith from RVA couldn't have been more helpful and attentive. We would have no hesitation renting through them again. ##### BILL S. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naples-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Coconut-Point-Resort-Spa.h792025.Hotel-Information) > > [Streamline Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Daytona-Beach-Hotels-Streamline-Hotel.h17491689.Hotel-Information) > > [Windsor Island Luxury | Home in Windsor Island Resort, Private Pool, Arcade](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Davenport-Hotels-Windsor-Island-Luxury-Home-In-Windsor-Island-Resort.h60809096.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Grand Key - Key West](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-West-Hotels-DoubleTree-Resort-By-Hilton-Grand-Key-Key-West.h470834.Hotel-Information) > > [New tiny house available in the country on a 5 acre motocross track MX](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Myakka-City-Hotels-New-Tiny-House-Available-In-The-Country-On-A-5-Acre-Motocross-Track-MX.h35668895.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-Hilton-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h12537.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn Key Largo Manatee Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-Largo-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Key-Largo-Manatee-Bay.h5731.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean Pointe Suites at Key Largo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tavernier-Hotels-Ocean-Pointe-Suites-At-Key-Largo.h5502.Hotel-Information) > > [Stunning 6 Bedroom Villa on Solterra Resort - pool overlooking conservation area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Stunning-6-Bedroom-Villa-On-Solterra-Resort-Pool-Overlooking-Conservation-Area.h25169903.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h894002.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Beach-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Palm-Beach.h20271.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Beach House Key West](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-West-Hotels-Margaritaville-Beach-House-Key-West.h48713884.Hotel-Information) > > [Pink Shell Beach Resort and Marina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fort-Myers-Hotels-Pink-Shell-Beach-Resort-And-Marina.h15603.Hotel-Information) > > [Solterra Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Solterra-Resort.h18526478.Hotel-Information) > > [Atlantic Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tavernier-Hotels-Atlantic-Bay-Resort.h2841625.Hotel-Information) > > [Balmoral Resort Florida](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haines-City-Hotels-Balmoral-Resort-Florida.h19447044.Hotel-Information) > > [Shorewalk Vacation Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sarasota-Hotels-Shorewalk-Vacation-Villas.h13316.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Titusville / Kennedy Space Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Titusville-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Titusville-Space-Center.h44354265.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Key Largo by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-Largo-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Key-Largo.h7230.Hotel-Information) > > [Tranquility Bay Beachfront Hotel and Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marathon-Hotels-Tranquility-Bay-Beachfront-Hotel-And-Resort.h117099.Hotel-Information) > > [Rod And Gun Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naples-Hotels-Rod-And-Gun-Club.h13279263.Hotel-Information) > > [Beautiful Lake House on Cowpen Lake w/Private Fishing Pond Boat Rental Available](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gainesville-Hotels-Beautiful-Lakehouse-With-Private-Fishing-Pond-On-Cowpen-Lake.h42437865.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Cocoa Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Cocoa-Beach.h1210926.Hotel-Information) > > [Inn On The Lakes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sebring-Hotels-Inn-On-The-Lakes.h2717560.Hotel-Information) > > [Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Port Canaveral, FL](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Canaveral-Hotels-Country-Inn-Suites-By-Radisson.h1489240.Hotel-Information) > > [Baker's Cay Resort Key Largo, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-Largo-Hotels-Bakers-Cay-Resort-Key-Largo.h14042.Hotel-Information) > > [Dockside Inn & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vero-Beach-Hotels-Dockside-Inn-Resort.h1837964.Hotel-Information) > > [Tortuga Inn Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sarasota-Hotels-Tortuga-Inn-Beach-Resort.h1054101.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information)
