Wonderful Vacation Home

We had a wonderful stay at this condo. Very spacious!. The master bedroom is huge! We spent a lot of time on the balconies. The kids loved the jacuzzi tub. The house had everything we needed and more. It is very close to the boardwalk, so you can walk to everything. iTrip was very fast to respond when we had issues with the elevator on the first day. A representative came out and fixed our issue within an hour of when I reported it.

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.

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.

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.

Perfect weekend!

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!

Excellent Place

Excellent Location! Loved relaxing on the various patios and watching/listening to the oceans. Very short walk to the beach. Comfortable furniture. Kitchen well stocked with everything you need. Elevator was a plus due to traveling with my 70 year old mother. Hope to be back next year.

Great Place

We had a great time at this property. It is rented through a separate entity, but they were very accommodating. This place was very nice on the inside, clean, and it's location is very convenient to many restaurants and beach access. Not a downside, but just a note. If you plan to drive a large SUV or truck, the parking spots for this place are pretty small.

Awesome unit

We had a comfortable stay in this unit. The kitchen and bath linens were well stocked and there was plenty of room for my large family to stretch out. We received excellent customer service, prompt response to any questions we had. The elevator certainly made the luggage haul convenient. Beach access and boardwalk attractions are literally steps away and easily accessible. I’d gladly stay here again with my family. Thank for an awesome stay!

Blue heron nest

This place was amazing! It was a very short walk to the beach and very spacious. I booked for 8 people and we were very comfortable. It was very clean and put together. There was plenty of room for everyone and all of our belongings. The hosts were amazing with communication and got back to me very quickly. I would definitely recommend this place. It was a 5/5 stay! The only thing I will say is we had to walk up all the stairs to get to the condo, not particularly bad for me and my group ( we were able to get in some exercise) but I would recommend double checking with hosts about the elevators for people who are handicapped.

The Perfect Place

We just returned from our stay at the Blue Heron and after many trips to Carolina Beach and others alike this is the first place that we truly hated to leave. It checks all of the boxes: cleanliness (literally the first place we’ve ever stayed that we didn’t feel like we needed to re-clean ourselves after arrival), spacious size, comfort (beds and all seating), accessibility to all attractions and the beach (easy walk to everything), a great view of the ocean from the front two decks and of the town from the master bedroom. Not only that but the managing company- iTrips NC is most excellent to work with- not only are they a family run business but they are very accommodating, fast with communication, overly helpful, so kind and welcoming! It was truly the perfect stay!

Best Vacation

We came here as a getaway from DC and it was such a great break! The condo was really comfortable, well-appointed and so close to everything. We didn’t have to drive anywhere for an entire week. There was so much space, we never felt cramped, the kitchen had everything we needed. Every morning we were able to look out at the ocean from 2 balconies! We saw dolphins, pelicans and really disconnected from city life. Another fantastic benefit was that we were able to walk to so many great restaurants. We enjoyed Shuckin Shack for shrimp, Fat Ps for the beverages and Seaworthy was delicious all around. Next beach vacation we will definitely book Blue Heron Nest! I can’t say enough wonderful things about this property and location!

Family get together

Nice, roomy condo. Very convenient to the beach and central to businesses in Carolina Beach. A/C worked very well as it wwas very hot and humid during our stay. Kitchen, appliances were in good working order, updated nicely. I must give a negative to the sofa and chair in the living room. Very uncomfortable. Additionally, the bed matresses need to be updated Other than those, it was a very enjoyable stay

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.

Great Vacay!

We had a wonderful stay at the Blue Heron. It is in a great location. Everything was in close walking distance: beach, boardwalk, the infamously Britt’s donuts, coffee, food, music, etc. The condo is located on the 3rd floor. There is an elevator to take luggage, food, and other items up. We could not figure out how to use it, so we treated the flights of stairs- good exercise! For us, this was not a big deal. The condo was charming. I loved the multiple balconies. The place is spacious enough to give everyone a little quiet space as needed. It was also a great set up for family meals and game nights. All in all, it was a great family vacation!

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!
