We had a wonderful stay at the Blue Heron. The house was comfortable, had everything we needed for a 5 day stay, and lots of fun for the teenagers and parents alike. The pool table got plenty of use! We were in town for a lacrosse tournament and the house was only about 25 minutes to the far field and 8 minutes to the close one. Plus everything you could need or want was just around the corner (Target, grocery stores, etc just minute or two away.)Most importantly, Carlos was amazing as a host. The house was very welcoming with little touches making it seem as if you were at a friend's house. The initial messages and book were thorough, making it easy to find the information you needed as you settled in. And he was extremely quick to answer any questions, never seeming put out or annoyed by our interruptions or questions. He even called me to try to help me walk through an issue we were having and when it couldn't be fixed by me arranged to have someone come to fix the problem. We will happily return to the Blue Heron the next time we are in the area!

We came down for my daughter’s tournament at IMG. Great location, lovely backyard and responsive hosts. Carlos was very welcoming and prompt with any questions we had. Will be back next year.
