Really enjoyed our stay at the Blue Heron! When it says beachfront it really means beachfront. Opened the door and we were mere steps from the beach. Room was clean. Very convenient to shopping and dining. Staff super friendly. The part that impressed me most was the gentleman at the front desk for check in and check out, he was the most friendly and gracious man. So accommodating. I am planning a return trip to the Blue Heron!! I highly highly recommend a stay here. You won’t be disappointed.

A hidden little gem. Simple, eclectic, clean. A kitchenette in our room small but efficient. A ground floor room with the perfect view of the ocean and literally walked out onto the sand. A very kind gentleman checked me in and the housekeeping staff was super friendly. Very pleased with the stay and would definitely stay here again!

Clean, convenient, and great price. Could walk out on the balcony and watch/listen to waves. Could walk out front door and watch the sun set over the sound. The indoor pool was warm and the large spa was relaxing!

People outside smoking weed when my children were walking by. Which the hotel staff can't help but maybe more signs would be helpful? -- probably not BUT worth a try. It was nice to have the indoor pool when it was too chilly to swim in the ocean/outdoor pool. Great views, nice sized rooms.

I have known the Blue Heron for many years. I knew it was an older motel. Our room was very clean, The water was so nice and soft. No noise, no disturbances. Ice machine was well accessible. I had reserved a King bed/room and they took my reservation. When we got there, we were told that all of the king rooms/beds were being worked on. Wife asked about a Queen. No, we don't have any. So we went from a King to a double with no apology, refund or anything. We were the 1st to check in that day. I know it was winter time at the beach but they should have told me they had no king rooms available and let me make other arrangements. They should have marked these rooms off as not available when you reserved them. That overrode any good things that I received from them.
