What a wonderful place to spend time! It’s a beautiful condo and so close to the public access. Three decks to sit on, huge family area, wonderful bedrooms…just a fantastic place and a fantastic place to get away!

We LOVE this house!

This was our 2nd year booking Blue Heron Nest for our family vacation. It's perfect- close proximity to the boardwalk and those delicious Britts donuts, and a very short walk to the beach access. We even walked to Publix this year (rather than driving when we needed items); it's about a mile away. We are already making plans for next year's stay!

Blue Heron Nest

This top floor condo was exactly what we needed for our party of eight. It was not only spacious and beautifully decorated it was very clean. The beach access is close by and convenient. The only issue would be walking up steps if you have older guests in your party. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I highly recommended it to families.

Amazing

The property is hands down awesome!!! The location is perfect for walking to everything on the boardwalk. This home has ample space for 6 people and not feel crowded. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking if you plan to stay for a long trip. The two front patios have great views, and the master patio was great for sunsets! Will definitely rent again!!

Close beach access - quiet

Finding the unit was difficult at first no true signage designating “blue Herron” the location is very close to the beach and quiet. It was on the third floor and there was warnings about using the elevator and if it broke it was 350 so we avoided even attempting to use it. The unit itself could use some updating for the price paid. The couch is in poor condition the kitchen table is hanging in by a thread. The master bedroom is very large in size. Lots of windows and balconies.

Great place in a great location.

Several friends of mine stayed for a long weekend in late July. The condo is lovely and spacious. We enjoyed the outside decks, and the two parking spots were great. The location can't be beat - it's steps away from the beach and nightlife. I would stay here again.

Great family getaway at Blue Heron

My family stayed at the Blue Heron for 5 days in June, and it was fantastic! Most days it was just my wife and I and our two kids (14,9), but my nephew, sister-in-law and her husband joined a couple days as well. The proximity to the beach and boardwalk are unbeatable, we were able to just park the car and walk everywhere (except to get groceries from Publix, which is only 5 minutes away). Plenty of restaurants, bars, ice cream shops, beach rental companies, gift shops, etc all within walking distance. The views from the 3 balconies were amazing, we spent a lot of time out there just chilling. And the condo itself is gigantic, more than enough room for everyone to spread out and have their own space, or to congregate together for meals or just to hang out. Check-in and communication with the owners was a breeze. We had a couple minor issues (i.e. an active wasp nest on one of the balconies) but they responded quickly and took care of everything very promptly. The welcome kit (in email and also in a binder upon arrival) was very thorough and helpful, parking and parking passes were simple. There is an "elevator" - but it's more like a small service elevator, which came through in the clutch for putting all of our luggage and groceries on (lifesaver!), but I wouldn't recommend putting people on it, so be prepared to traverse the 3 flights of stairs each time you leave/return to the condo. Some of the furniture and fixtures are showing their age, but no major concerns there. The AC was perfect, and was luxurious to come back to when the heat index was well over 100 most of the days we were there. Speaking of luxury, the jetted tub in the master suite was quite the treat as well. Overall - we were very happy with this unit, it checked all of the boxes - location, views, space, comfort- and truly felt like a vacation.

Wonderful Vacation

We love visiting Carolina Beach but this has been our favorite place we have rented. It is beautiful, great location, and well stocked. Everything went well for our stay, no issues. We enjoyed hanging out on the decks for coffee and sunset. The property was perfect for our family and we are already planning our return.

We had a great weekend staying at Blue Heron Nest. The condo is spacious, very clean, and convenient to both the beach and the boardwalk. The porches were perfect for hanging out and enjoying the wonderful views. Owners were great with communication both before and during the trip. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect place for our Family Vacation!

We just finished our stay at Blue Heron Nest and wish we could stay forever. Everything was just as described and there was plenty of room for our party of 8 adults ( 2 had to sleep on bunk beds, but they're 18, so no big deal). The location was perfect- very short walk to the beach and the pier. We only had to get in the care when we needed to go to Publix. Comfy beds. Huge house with ocean views. Super responsive owners/management. I really can't say enough good things.

Great stay for New Year's Eve. Great location with close proximity to boardwalk, restaurants, and beach. Just cross Carolina Avenue and a short walk to beach. The steps going up to top floor would be a bit much for the elderly or disabled but there is an elevator.
