Perfect stay..lovely people and place. As soon as I arrived, I saw dolphins, beach bunnies, and a ton of birds. Hotel was extreme topnotch oceanfront. My favorite part was that this hotel is run efficiently with in a minimalist way that does not add to the heavy consumption and waste going on all around. Beautiful very quiet peaceful place and I hope to again and again.

The view of the beach and ocean were amazing from the balcony, we were on the third floor. Room was extremely dated. No water pressure, bathroom and floor was dirty on arrival, had to sweep it our first day. Bathroom door would not shut and just a mid grade stay. 4 day stay and only minimal bathroom supplies. Motel is in a good location close to restaurants, piers, and shops.

We enjoyed our stay at the Blue Heron. There was a stain on one of the bed sheets (the front desk gave me a replacement) and some sort of splatter on the wall which I cleaned. Other than that the room the room was fine. It included a refrigerator and small stove top. Both pools were closed.
