Great location, loved the dock, house needs a lot of work

We had to wait to check in which wasn’t a huge deal, just a slight inconvenience. Upon arrival there is a long driveway full of thick bushes. They advertise boat friendly place but I it was too narrow for our boat to go down without getting our boat scratched up. Once inside the back door knob was falling off. I notified the maintenance crew and they didn’t arrive until midnight therefore we couldn’t even go to bed until the doors were secure. The kitchen was full of roaches and the HVAC couldn’t keep the home cool. Will not return here.

Perfect for us.

We loved the dock area especially! Our dogs had the best time playing out there as well. We enjoyed our stay and liked the location. I will say with the money that was spent renting that place, they could have done better than the cheap stuff that was provided. I mean one ply toilet paper, come on now.

This was a perfect little family home!

It was my mom, sister, nephew (age 6), myself and two dogs. I can not say enough wonderful things about this amazing home! The sunrise views with morning coffee, to the comfy beds at night. If you are looking for the home away feel and like the best washer ever. This is the place. It has the best charm.

Much needed rest!!

The place was fabulous!! The bed was awesome!! We paid 6000 for our bed and it's horrible!! The location perfect and even though I packed everything we needed, Everything we needed was already there!! Only thing missing was an elevator 😆 my sweet man had a little difficulty with his knees. He used the back deck steps. We will be back !! Save our place 2 weeks next time!! I work ER and I so needed this break 😩 hated to leave so we didn't lol we booked another night at a local hotel and spent the day on a boat chilling 🙃. Love Orange Beach Alabama!!!

Great spot

The house was perfect for our stay. Great location and it feels private being tucked away on the inland bay. Seeing dolphins off the end of the dock was cool. Being pet friendly was a bonus.

Amazing Location!!

This beach house is amazing! The dock was literally the best part. We spent every evening of our four day trip down there looking at the sunset. Had a dolphin swim by the first day! The inside of the house is so clean and welcoming!! And having a washer and dryer there was nice. The beach is with in a 5 minute drive from the house. We can’t wait to book another trip to Orange Beach because of this beach house!

Not As Expected

Upon our arrival at 5:00pm the front door was open and the house was not finished cleaning, mind the check-in time of 3pm. The cleaning lady apologized but still this is unacceptable. The photos do not do justice to this place, it is very run down and old. There was no dish soap, 1 roll of paper towels, 3 rolls of toilet paper, no dust pan, and no trash bags. The living room couches were super dirty and holes are in couch cushions. We found multiple cockroches, spills down the walls and pet hair piled on the broken baseboads. The flooring and ceiling were peeling as well as the doors. Also, please beware the bedroom flooring in master suite was a plywood of sorts. The dock was super nice but do note it is a shared dock to the house that sits infront of it so it can become quite busy with neighbors running under your house. Checkout time stated in our welcome book 11am, we got caught in a tropical storm so with the rain down pour we were running behind. We were greeted with a rude cleaning lady at 11:51am as we were SOAKING wet trying to load our car and trailer with a newborn and two kids. I WILL NOT be back to this place. It was a huge disappointment and quite a waste of money.

Family Spring Vacation

Herons Nest was the perfect place to reconnect with family. It’s very homey and relaxing. Our grandsons had a great time playing football on our private beach. We all loved swinging on the dock watching the dolphins. Close to public beach, stores and restaurants. Our dog Freddie loved it too!

Nice Property

We were given the wrong address and arrived after dark 6pm). finally figured out the right property. Needs lighting underneath by stairway and overall underneath. Several lights not working so at night hard to see outside. The inside was nice, comfortable beds, nice deck. Still cleaning up from hurricane damage.

Lovely stay!

We really enjoyed staying at Heron's Nest. It was great for our first visit to Gulf Shores. The home was clean and neat and had some sweet charm. We enjoyed the yard (we had 2 dogs) and we even saw a dolphin off of the dock!

Perfect Getaway Spot

Heron's Nest was perfect for our little three night getaway. The cottage was comfortable and filled with all the amenities we needed. We loved drinking our coffee on the deck overlooking Cotton Bayou each morning. We enjoyed the dock and floating around in the water during the day. We also had one memorable meal on the picnic table on the dock. In addition to relaxing and swimming off the dock, we rented a kayak one day and a boat the other. In the evenings after the gorgeous sunsets, we loved being able to access Netflix and use Roku to access all our streaming services. Plus we discovered a whole cache of DVDs and a player. While we enjoyed the bay, it was also nice to have the beach and the Gulf just across the street. We had a couple of early morning beach walks. This relaxing, casual home has it all!
