Summer Family House

House was a great setup for two families. Kitchen had most everything we needed. Coffee pots didn't work but were replaced, wished coffee filters would have been provided too, just something you don't think about brining with you. King bed upstairs was loose from the headboard and made noise with every turn. And wish more dishwasher tabs had been supplied. Otherwise, great place! Comfortable, clean, good location, easy check-in.

Vacation

It was just the wife & I (and puppy) so we had plenty of room, spa was wonderful & we would rent here again. Weather was a bit cold I thought for Florida as the downstairs got a bit chilly at night & in the morning. Plenty of dog parks, hiking trails, the Blue Angels Museum, restaurants close by, and on a somewhat selfish note, was glad we didn't have neighbors during our stay, beautiful place

November in Perdido

The house was arranged adequately and comfortably for our family. Some minor updates would make the home more appealing. This house is close to a busy road, so there is traffic noise. The property is dog friendly, but there is the nearness to a busy road and minimal area for walking dogs to consider.

Decent stay but swim spa needs attention

If you’re going to advertise an amenity like a hot tub or swim spa, please make sure the cleaning crew who arrives on Tuesdays each week actually clean it so guests can enjoy it. We were very disappointed on Wed morning while staying for the week to see the spa pads with same standing puddle of dirty water and leaves still on top meaning they weren’t removed for cleaning that Tuesday at all. The bottom of the spa was full of dirt and sand with lots of leaves floating on top of the water. Other than that the house was decent and met our needs.

Very disappointing

The house was nice but on a very busy loud road but the worst part was the false advertisement and lack of care when we asked about the issues. We specifically chose this place because it was one of a few that had a spa. Upon arrival to the house we had just driven 10 hours and were ready to decompress in the spa! We couldn’t get it to turn on. I reached out to the number we were told to text and they said they were going to contact the appropriate people for our question. Didn’t receive another response until the next morning when they told us it was not working and they were trying to get it fixed asap. I asked why we weren’t informed before our arival since the spa was advertised as something we would have within the fee we paid. Nothing was offered to us as compensation and nobody came to fix it the whole 4 days we were there. There were also several items they said they would have in the house that were no there. This is the third beach house I have booked and never had anything like this. The other 2 houses had everything they said they would and much better communication as well. Very very bad experience for us!

Our Stay at Blue Heron

Overall the property met our expectations. The convenience to beaches, shopping and restaurants was excellent. The home was clean enough, but a little trashy. One of the bedrooms upstairs had a large mirror stacked in the closet that took up lots of room. The bathroom door in that bedroom had a large chunk missing. There was supposed to be an awning over the swim spa, but it was missing. The swim spa did not work the entire time we were there. That was the major reason we booked this property, so it was disappointing that it never worked. The water in it was dirty due to no filtration. The outdoor curtains on the upstairs porch were filthy with mildew/mold. So we were disappointed with the state of the property. One of the front porch handrails was so loose that one of our guests nearly fell when we arrived. Finally, the two outdoor fans had misters that never worked. We brought all these things to management’s attention and the railing was secured. Fan misters were unable to be repaired. A contractor was sent regarding the swim/spa, but a part had to be ordered that never arrived during the week we were there. So overall our experience was not as great as we had expected.
