Gorgeous home! Great location! We had an amazing time and would book this exact house again without reservation! My only suggestion is to replace pots and pans as teflon is very scratched.

Great home for a 40th birthday trip

We rented the main house and carriage house and found it to be perfect for our party of 3 adult couples without kids and 1 couple with 2 kids. We had one minor service request that was fixed very quickly. The home is beautiful and location is great!

This home is beautiful! We especially enjoyed entertaining in the spacious chef’s kitchen and open floor plan. The enclosed patio was perfect for our shrimp boil where we entertained over 20 friends staying at other properties in Rosemary. We will definitely book this home again!

Fantastic House in Great Location

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great weeklong trip to Rosemary Beach staying at the Blue Heron. The main house including the guest house comfortably fit 2 families with 4 kids under 4 years old. House was clean, bathrooms were very nice and the beds were comfortable. We enjoyed the fenced in courtyard that felt safe having a bunch of little kids around. Close proximity to the beach, multiple neighborhood pools, splashpad and the main retail/restaurant area. Would highly recommend.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything was great. We had a great time. The only thing I would mention is that both clothing dryers on the property are missing lint traps. So besides being a fire hazard, the clothes did not dry well. We also limited our laundry due to this.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great home with all amenities and good beds. Well appointed and conducive to home dining and entertainment. We hope to return! Warning though that this home is not ADA compliant, should you have guests with a disability. Exterior stairs are steep without rails. All bedrooms on second levels. It was perfect for us, however.

Great week!

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: Our family spent a week at the Blue Heron and had a blast. The house is just beautiful! Everything you could ask for was there. The kitchen is great for preparing meals. Location is about a five minute walk to the beach and about a five minute walk to the cabana pool. Only complaint was the gas grill really needs updating and the green egg needed cleaning out and new gaskets. Planning another visit there next year. Thanks to all for a great trip.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. 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: The decorated and functional house that we have ever stayed at. The location was perfect to get to the beach and stop at the pool on the short walk back. The location was also perfect to visit the merchants in downtown Rosemary. The house was well maintained and has many amenities like cooler, chairs, kids toys, umbrella and very usable courtyard that we all gathered at for morning coffee and evening happy hour. If it is available when we book again, we will definitely book the house again. The staff was also very good in their communication.

Great Stay at 30A

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. 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: We had a great stay at the Blue Heron house in Rosemary. Everything was as described and the app was very helpful with any questions we had during the stay. The location is fantastic with easy access to the pools, beach, town center, and tennis. We really enjoyed the kitchen and outdoor grilling options provided. The space was perfect for our family of 5 (3 kids under 8) and the carriage house was great for the grandparents. I would say be prepared to bring all oils and seasonings (yes even salt and pepper) as there is nothing provided. But overall we would highly recommend the Blue Heron Cottage and would definitely return.

Great Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. 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: House was great for our two families. The kids really enjoyed watching movies in the carriage house while the adults cooked dinner in the main house. Right across the street from the covered pool, which was a nice place to cool off for one last swim after being in the sun at the beach all day.We had a tiny issue with the freezer, but management was responsive and all was fine.My one note to future renters would be that a full size SUV will not fit in the garage space. Luckily one family rented a minivan that fit and we parked the SUV adjacent to the garage.Great house, great location.
Response from VrboOwner on 11 July 2025
Thank you for the thoughtful review! We're so glad the home worked well for both families and that the kids enjoyed the carriage house while the adults had space to cook and relax. It’s great to hear you made the most of the nearby pool and appreciated the convenient location. Thanks also for noting the garage size—helpful information for future guests. We appreciate your understanding with the freezer and are happy our team could assist quickly. We’d love to welcome you back again!
