Beachfront budget bliss

The Blue Heron is cool for a quick getaway. It isn’t the fanciest spot, but it is oceanfront, and you can’t beat the view looking right out on the ocean from the top floor. It wasn’t the cleanest, but it was decent enough for a couple of nights. Huge perk that it was pet friendly. If you want to hit the beach with your pup on a budget, this is the place to do it!

Great inexpensive short term beach stay location!

Great place to stay for a single night. Room was big and clean. Back door opened directly to beach access. Very friendly staff and very accommodating. Relatively quiet though being on the first floor meant we heard our neighbors walking above us. But other than that would highly recommend.

I was called on my way to the property by "John" who had told me I could check in early and asked when I would be arriving- I was thrilled- I told him my e.t.a. he told me okay and hopes I enjoy my stay. I get to the property to find out "John" isnt even an onsite employee and he denied what he had told me, which was aggravating. My husband was less than impressed at this-We were then told we would be called as soon as the room was ready. We were never called hours go by - we went back to the office at regular check in time. The room was above the office which is fine(that was why it was cheaper than the others) except the stairs are quite narrow. The room wasn't very clean and the sheets felt like there was sand in them. Pillows were flat. The mattress was indeed firm- if you like that. I don't think its actually a Queen, maybe a Full size bed. The soap, shampoo & conditioner (2 in1) and lotion were in dispensers instead of individual bottles. You could see the hole where the pipe for the showerhead comes out of the wall. The bathroom was kinda dark even with both lights on. The towels folded like kissing birds setting at the foot of the bed like on a cruise ship was cute. The a.c. blew nice and cold. The beach access was awesome. Even though the room was on the street side of the hotel it wasnt very loud. All in all its an ok place to stay. The room rates are a little high, but, it IS oceanfront.

My stay was amazing. The view from my room was great. The room was very clean up on arrival. It was pretty quiet the whole time and the pool was very clean. Beach access was great didn't have to go over and dunes just right out to the ocean. Overall my stay was great and I would recommend staying at the Blue Heron

This property was exactly what we were looking for. It’s very nice. I mean it’s not up to date with all the newest stuff, but everything worked and we were right in the beach. Pool was open all the time and there were 2 pools.

Upon arrival we discovered hair in the shower. The provided hair dryer was broken and kept tripping the electric breaker. There was no housekeeping service during our stay and we only started out with 2 washcloths. You have to go to the front office across the parking lot to get refresh on toiletries and towels. The bright spot of this hotel is being ocean front.

Staff was friendly. Very comfortable bed. You can tell this motel is doing a remodel. Very clean and fresh looking. The room smelled clean not musty. There were to many dressers. Needed a small table and chairs to eat at. There was a large table very unusable with the chair in the room. Would work as a desk. Air conditioner was the only problem we had. Would stay at 75 and not move. Would turn off every few minutes in the middle of the night. Had to push button to get going. Made for a tiring night. Overall a wonderful stay for anyone looking for a vacation place. Centrally located. If you have trouble with stairs do not go to the third floor. They do have a lift for your luggage, it is slow so be prepared.

I love how close it is to the beach and how every room has an ocean side. Sometimes you can hear street noise from the main drag in our room, however to be fair there was a car show in the park two blocks away. Really love staying here.

There was nobody at the front until you call their cell phone and they come help you. He did put us on the 3rd floor for better view of the ocean BUT gave us keys to a room already occupied, that was embarrassing. No elevator, rather narrow stairs. Room was beautiful & very clean. The hairdryer in my room didn't work.
