We had a great time at The Blue Heron. The house was located in an older neighborhood but it was very quiet and in a nice location. The home itself was great, the owner left so many nice touches for guests including leaving some welcome snacks and a bottle of wine. I appreciated that the kitchen had everything that we needed while we were there. I can’t tell you how many times I have had to make a Walmart run for a can opener or a spatula while renting. The pool was awesome and there were plenty of pool toys and floats available. Very close to the beach and some great fresh seafood restaurants.

Excellent stay. Location is great near everything. Great outside area. If you plan on using the pool or going to the beach bring nothing but your bathing suits. Owner has provided everything else. Very family oriented property. Planning on going back in July.

How very lovely we found the “New Blue Heron 3” to be for our stay in Bradenton! Our family enjoyed the very nice and homey accommodations. We found all the necessary items to prepare meals, comfortable dining areas inside and out, relaxed on the screened patio and in the heated pool, and appreciated the “Welcome packet” treats, a nice touch!Home is well decorated, the privacy fencing much appreciated, plenty of absorbent towels, bedding was of high quality and quite comfortable, beach supplies, games, activities for family enjoyment. Our hosts were very responsive to every question and provided helpful explanations, providing everything to make our stay memorable!

The house was excellent all three of us enjoyed comfortable bedrooms both bathrooms were more than spacious the unfortunate thing was the pool was not usable due to it needing service but the outside area is excellent with a beautiful sitting area by the pool and then an additional sitting area farther back on the patio as far as communication Carlos was absolutely fantastic I would certainly recommend this property there was plenty of amenities in the house that any guest would need to use he was extremely helpful and responsive Within a very short period of time I get overall certainly recommend this house if I'm ever in that area again that would certainly definitely consider renting this house again

Michael, I am glad you enjoyed your stay. I wish you had told me there was an issue with the pool I would have addressed it immediately, the pool company is literally 800 ft away and would have been there within an hour or two max. I do hope you come back and please contact me with any issues. Carlos

We had a wonderful stay at the Blue Heron. The house was comfortable, had everything we needed for a 5 day stay, and lots of fun for the teenagers and parents alike. The pool table got plenty of use! We were in town for a lacrosse tournament and the house was only about 25 minutes to the far field and 8 minutes to the close one. Plus everything you could need or want was just around the corner (Target, grocery stores, etc just minute or two away.)Most importantly, Carlos was amazing as a host. The house was very welcoming with little touches making it seem as if you were at a friend's house. The initial messages and book were thorough, making it easy to find the information you needed as you settled in. And he was extremely quick to answer any questions, never seeming put out or annoyed by our interruptions or questions. He even called me to try to help me walk through an issue we were having and when it couldn't be fixed by me arranged to have someone come to fix the problem. We will happily return to the Blue Heron the next time we are in the area!

What an amazing place to stay. Close to enough to go nearby cities such as Tampa, Sarasota and St. Pete. House was perfect and the pool was amazing to enjoy after long days sightseeing and beach trips. No complaints and the host was responsive when needed. Check in and check out was seamless. Thank you for hosting us!
