Dream cottage
This is the ideal place to stay! The owner Joe is the best host, he checks in on you when you get there and if anything out of the ordinary happens, he’s on it. The cottage has everything you need, it’s clean and very home like. We have stayed in the Blue Heron complex 10 times thru 5 years and Joe’s cottage is by far the. Best! You will not find a more perfect place or host. Bottom line is it’s BEST!!! If you don’t stay here you’re a fool. Once you stay you’ll keep coming back…..we do and will continue to!

Perfect place for a family vacation
Literally steps to the beach. Great cottage in a great area of Indian Rocks Beach. We had no issues with the stay. The one thing that I wish it had was a washer and dryer but who really wants to do laundry on vacation. Hopefully we will be able to get the cottage again on our next visit to Indian Rocks Beach. It was a great vacation for our family of three.

Cottage only has location
Love where it is and proximity to pool and beach. Cottage itself is in dire need of updating especially based on the top dollar we paid. No place to sit and eat inside. Bathroom too cramped and old. Microwave rattles. Outdoor equipment rusty and unsuitable. Then there was the red tide.

Great cottage and location
What a wonderful find! This cottage was perfect for our little group, which consisted of 3 adults, a toddler and a Boston Terrier. ~ While some might find things a bit cozy (it IS a cottage, after all), we were completely comfortable and were delighted with how nicely the place was appointed. ~ There were 2 things that stood out: the location is amazing, and Joe was easy to communicate with. ~ This cottage is one of 8, right off the main road AND within a short walking distance to the beach (The pool is between the cottages and the beach - what a perfect combination!) ~ And Joe was a great communicator - he answered my many questions via text and email, both before and during our stay. ~ We loved the "house book" which had info on recycling pick up, restaurant recommendations, and other odds and ends that are always fun and useful. ~ We look forward to coming back in the future!

Calm, quiet place
Joe's little cottage was great. The low-profile porch meant no problems using a wheelchair, and the crushed shell driveway was packed so the wheelchair didn't bog down. Equally valuable was that this cottage backs directly up to a public access path, which meant wheelchair access to the beach was extremely easy on the concrete and wooden trail. There are eight cottages owned by different landlords, but all the guests got along. I can't promise that for anyone during any other week, but it was great for us, chatting with a variety of other beachgoers ranging in age from 15 to 75. We had no car, so it was nice that there is a small grocery/convenience store about two blocks away. (Publix also delivers groceries!) The only improvement I could suggest is some way to hang up or mechanically dry wet towels. Site rules said "no clothes lines" and stressed keeping the area neat, but by midweek we were straining under the weight of all our towels being damp. I am not sure what can be done, but just thought I'd bring it up. Overall, Joe's cottage was grand, accessible, and just what we needed.

Amazing trip! Will stay again.
Joe was fantastic to work with from start to finish. He went over and above by getting a pack n play and beach cart helping us save space in the vehicle. The cottage was clean and the neighbors were friendly. We look forward to coming back and staying in this cottage. Thanks again Joe for everything!

Tiny trailer on wheels not on beach. Gravel parking lot. Nosy mean neighbors. Tiny house and worse bathroom. Pool is tiny community pool not the rentals pool and colder than ocean. Dogs not welcome despite promises they were.

This place is truly a gem!
The cottage itself is just adorable. The property is well maintained with a great heated pool. The beach is right there and you can hear the ocean from the pool and cottage. They thought of everything, and the host is also a gem. The location is also terrific. It is walking distance (0.3- 1 mile) to many restaurants and shops. My favorite VRBO to date!!

We had a few bumps in the road in the beginning but the owner was very accommodating and available. The cottage was cute, clean and had all the amenities needed for a nice stay. There is a pool and the beach is just over the dunes. We enjoyed and would stay again!

Paradise in beachfront cottage
You will fall in love with the property of Blue Heron — gorgeous. Each cabin is privately owned and you are friends right off the bat with everyone; renters or owners. There is nothing not to love. Just cute, cozy and everything you need. In our particular unit we could use some chairs for the front porch as thats where the action is. The grill was old and not useable which was a bummer.
