What impressed me the most about this trip was the communications from the owner. I am 100% combat disabled and have a service animal...

Look no further for a wonderful stay in a very fun area of Florida! This property is so well maintained and Heron’s Hideaway is just as pictured- they thought of everything! Short walk to the Historic area of town with great food, live entertainment and shopping! Short drive to the beautiful beach! The hosts are wonderful and provided a lot of informative information about the area! Highly recommend the Ameilia River Cruise and visiting Clinch State park to see the fort and hunt for shark’s teeth on the beach! Palace Saloon and The Green Turtle for great live music. Salty Pelican also great food and cool vibe! T-Rays for breakfast was a hit with biscuits as big as the plate! Also Garden Bistro is a wonderful place for specialty dishes for breakfast! Will definitely stay here again and loved the outdoor area around the pool as it is so relaxing and beautiful!

Sadly, our stay at the King Bed/Pool apartment was short-lived. Upon entering, there was an overpowering perfumey smell. I immediately started looking for the "plug-ins" so they could be removed and I could air out the space. Unfortunately, no plug-ins or fragrance diffusers were found. After speaking with the host, their only thought was maybe something the cleaning person used/did. Even after opening the window and door, I couldn't stay because of the fragrance. This left the host in a bind, as well as my husband and me with no reservation for the next 3 nights. Not fun!A couple of things to note about the rental... The space is an adorable studio that was converted from a garage. The pool is behind the host's house, and the yard is shared, so it is not a single unit with a private pool. I suppose it's a little more like staying at a B&B than a single dwelling.

Jody shared upon arrival that she had a condition where certain odors caused migraine headaches. We do not use scent diffusers or any type of fragrance in our rentals for this reason. We had several people perform a “sniff test” and could not detect any scenti, however, one person mentioned the slight smell of jasmine in the garden and noted this is a common trigger. Jody left immediately and requested a 100% refund. Since it was 6PM we gave her a refund apart from her first night. Regarding the pool, when the rental is occupied, it is for use of our guests exclusively and this is mentioned in the description.
