The jacuzzi tub in the master was unusable. Despite their sending someone to clean it (spent quite a long time and definitely made progress with it, was very polite, friendly, and apologetic) and then us running an additional 3 cycles of water through it, it still had black junk that was coming out of the jets. We finally gave up. Other than that the place was clean and in general great, very spacious, well, laid out. LOVED the dining room table and the balcony was nice too. It was very cold, so the jacuzzi was my alternative to the hot tubs, but alas, that wasn't in the cards, lol.

Great Stay

We had a great stay at the Heron! The condo was just as described, and everything was great! There was so much to do on site such as multiple pools, a lazy river, a dock to walk out on to watch dolphins, and the ocean a short walk away. Thanks for a great stay!
