My family and I really enjoyed our week here. Perfect location in a quiet area and close to the beach. The house is obviously well maintained and was very clean. The screened-in porch on the second floor is wonderful.

This was a great vacation home for my family. Very clean and well-maintained. It was just a short walk to the beach. It had ample space and comfortable furniture. We would gladly stay here again for our next beach trip.

My family and I stayed at this house during fall break and it was such a wonderful time. This house is on a sweet little street and walking distance to the beach. The house was clean and spacious. We plan on coming back soon!

Thanks so much for your review, Kristin! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to hosting your family again in the future...Grayt 30A Vacations
This was a great house in lovely neighborhood so close to the beach and pool. Kitchen layout was a little off and hard to maneuver for the 7 of us, also had less utensils, pans, etc than other places we have rented on 30a. Wish the first floor had screened in porch, sitting outside was lovely but the flies were a bit annoying. Overall a great stay! The property management company was outstanding, best we have ever worked with, highly recommend!

This house was perfect for us with our teenage son and two of his friends. It was super convenient, especially with a few rented bikes, and had lots of comfortable space. I especially enjoyed the upstairs screened porch.

House was great. Well kept property in Summer’s Edge. Plenty of room for our family of 5 including 3 older teenagers. Screened-in porch upstairs was spacious and comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Overall, great house in a great neighborhood.

We loved this house and all the rooms to accommodate our family. We never felt cramped. Beds were very comfortable. I would say the floor needs a good deep cleaning. We got that house specifically because it was close to the Beach but ended up having to walk far every day anyways because the umbrella beach service takes up all of the beach line. Kind of frustrating but other than that great stay.

Hi, Sarah...Thanks so much for your kind review on Follow the Heron! We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay with us. We have both the wood and tile floors professionally steam cleaned every year in the off-season, so agree that after the long rental season of normal sweeping/mopping in between guests that it is time for a deeper clean, which helps in removing product build-up on the surfaces. We're happy the beds were comfortable for you; we will be replacing all mattresses this off-season, as well as the tables and chairs in the dining room, screened porch table/chairs and on the back deck. The beach does get crowded in July, but we hate you had a long walk to enjoy getting a space that didn't have vendor set-ups in front of you. Hopefully you ventured to the east to enjoy Eastern Lake and the beach in front; even better if you were able to see the lake open into the Gulf - a force of nature that's always phenomenal to witness! We appreciate your business and do hope you'll visit with us again in the future...Grayt 30A Vacations
First, I mopped the floors the day we arrived when I immediately realized they had not been. Other than that, the house was nice. I would recommend cable tv for the whole house. The only tv getting local regular channels was in the family room. It’s the first time I’ve been unable to watch tv in bed. Nice TVs were hanging on the wall just had the option of Netflix.

Hi, Lisa and Mark...Thanks for your review on Follow the Heron.
We truly wish you would have called us with your concern of the floors not being mopped upon your arrival; we would have been more than happy to send housekeeping over immediately to take care of that for you. While our housekeepers do "mop out the door," we recognize this is sometimes done in haste in the busy summer months when our houses are turning between guests, due to our limited time constraints and the additional cleaning protocols governmentally required due to Covid.
The owners of Follow the Heron have YouTube TV, a cable alternative, on both living room TV's, as well as the master bedroom; all other TV's in the house are Smart TV's with no cable access (but NetFlix, Prime, Hulu, etc., may all be accessed with your personal login credentials).
We do hope you come back and stay with us again sometime, and please remember our office is close by and open daily, so don't hesitate to reach out to us with any issues or concerns you may have.

We had a great stay at this property! The location is a 5 minute walk to the beach and the neighborhood is quiet and family friendly! The house was huge and has so much potential! The only complaint we have is that it could have been cleaner . We called the property manager to clean a bathroom that we think had been missed and she sent someone right over !!Overall we had an excellent stay.

Hi, Wendy...Thanks so much for your review of Follow the Heron! You were such a pleasure to speak with on the phone, and we do value your feedback on the missed bathroom. We're glad we were able to get that taken care of for you, and apologize again for this oversight, which was definitely not up to our normal standard of housekeeping. Your graciousness was most appreciated!
Please come back and visit with us again soon!
