This unit is VERY nice and roomy! The wrap around balcony gave us an excellent view of the sound and the sunrise.All of the amenities and rooms were up to date. In fact, it was like staying in a newly built condo. The host is very responsive and was very helpful with suggestions on where to keep my boat and other local information we needed. I will definitely stay in this unit again!

The facility was clean and very spacious, large rooms and that view from that large patio was everything. The host Joe was very attentive, we had a slight issue when we entered the unit I called him and he respond instantly and helped us solve the issue. The area is nice and good for families everyone was kind courteous and helpful. My only recommendation is plan to have everything for cooking. I’ve been to other facilities before and usually find salt/pepper and other spices this one didn’t have it. Guess they dispose of anything left behind for safety. No big deal Public’s and other places are in the area some within walking distance, just wasn’t expecting this. Now as far as the kitchen utensils it’s all there. Everything for grilling, baking, coffee, toaster etc.

Spacious and Everything We Needed

Heron 403 is a very spacious condo with a wonderful wrap-around veranda over looking the bay and the pool area. The well stocked "beach supply closet" had everything we needed for a day trip to the less crowded bayside beach on Okaloosa Island. This unit is set up to sleep multiple families comfortably to share some quality time together.

Great Spring Break

Enjoyed this property very much. It was windy during our stay so the porch was a little on the chilly side. Beds were nice as well as the view. Only gripe was with the pots and pans. We cook a lot even on vacation and the nonstick was not up to our cooking/health standards. Joe was a great host!!

Family Vacation

A group of 10 of us stayed and have no complaints. The view from the balcony overlooking the bay is fantastic. Plenty of room for everyone inside the condo. The kids really enjoyed looking at fish/crabs in the bay. The property is amazing plenty of pools and a awesome lazy river. This was our first trip to the gulf coast and the beach was definitely what we had hoped it to be. Joe checked on us during our stay and was very easy to communicate with.
