We really enjoyed our stay at Heron’s Hideaway! It was very clean & well stocked. We also enjoyed the short walk to the beach. Terry was very helpful to answer any questions we had about the area & had some great recommendations!
We enjoyed this beautiful home for a week get away! Terri was so pleasant to communicate with during our stay with check out questions that came along. We plan to book with Terri again soon! I totally recommend Herons Hideway for a clean and easy stay! Thank you for sharing your home!
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.
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!
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
Heron’s Hideaway was the perfect vacation spot for our family. It was exactly what we were looking for as far as convenience to the beach and pools, providing beach items and other necessities, and cleanliness & comfort away from home. We especially liked that it was close to T.H. Stone Memorial St. Joseph Peninsula State Park. We enjoyed our stay!
This is one of the nicest rentals we have ever stayed at. It was very clean. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you might need. The furnishings were nice and we enjoyed the gas grill and deck area.
The home was perfect, very clean, close proximity to the pool,
plenty of kitchen accessories for cooking, the host was very helpful and quick to respond to our question's.
The home looks newly updated with a coastal decor and is very nice. Thank you
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.
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!
Awesome week! One of the best rentals we have stayed at. Very clean, well decorated and well stocked! Steps to one of the pools and pickleball courts and a short walk to the beautiful beach! Plan to go next year again!
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!
The townhome was well stocked, very clean, and spacious. It was a short two minute walk to the beach and our daughter loved how close we were to the pool! We loved it here!
We loved our stay at Heron’s Hideaway! The small pool was heated which was a great surprise for the kids for a December swim! The beaches were as beautiful as ever!
