Savor the gentle sea breeze and a stunning Gulf of Mexico sunset at Blue Heron, a vacation home in Pensacola Beach, Florida. With the beach as your backyard and enough room for 13 guests, you’ll be returning to Pensacola Beach year after year.
After just a few minutes here, you'll soon find that Blue Heron is a beach lover’s paradise. Bursting with coastal elegance, you’ll find that no attention to detail was spared here. The wide-open floor plan is bright and airy, allowing lots of Florida sunshine to pour in through the windows. The addition of Mexican tile floors in every room even keeps your feet nice and cool in the summertime. A well-furnished sundeck provides panoramic views of the water and is an excellent place to unwind in the evening. In addition, the open-concept kitchen has been upgraded to include subway tile walls, exposed shelves, and top of the line stainless steel appliances.
The unique furnishings don’t stop there! Blue Heron retains its original charm with pedestal sinks in two of the guest bedrooms and the primary bathroom, situated in the bedroom, has a clawfoot bathtub and sliding barn door revealing the walk-in shower. To access the first floor, simply make your way down the outdoor steps and let yourself in. The first floor is accessible through the front of the home or the Gulf-facing rear. Down here, you’ll find a cozy space complete with a large guest room and full bathroom. There is also a kitchen and living area on the first floor, making this space great for multiple families traveling together or the kids in your group.
Once you’ve explored Blue Heron from top to bottom, it’s time to head to the beach! Just a few steps out the back door and you’re on this award-winning shore in no time. Set up your beach chairs, frolic in the surf, or go for a walk down the soft white sand. When you return from the beach, rinse off the sand under the heated outdoor shower. In the evenings, venturing out to one of Pensacola Beach’s numerous restaurants is a must! Take advantage of the free Pensacola Beach Trolley from Memorial Day Weekend to Labor Day to help you explore the area. If you don’t want to leave the home, there is also a private gas grill that’s perfect for an outdoor cookout.

Good Day, thank you for taking the time out of your day to review the property. We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay with us here on the Gulf Coast. We look forward to hosting you here with us again soon. Kind Regards, Your Southern Team
Amazing location. The house was perfect for a trip to the beach. While we were there the air conditioning started to act up one evening and they sent a technician out right away, even at 11pm. We appreciated their prompt response so we could sleep comfortably. Top notch service.
We really enjoyed our stay, home is all on one level which was great with little kids. House was recently updated and very clean. Loved the location, right on the beach. Home and beach are very private.

Beautiful location. Well stocked kitchen. Comfortable beds.
Great beach house. Downstairs apartment is not connected to the house which is a small inconvenience. The view is incredible.

Thank you for your review! So happy to hear you enjoyed your time with us here on the Gulf Coast! We look forward to hosting you again in the future! – Your Southern Team
We absolutely loved our stay at this stunning coastal home! The beachfront location couldn’t be better—just steps away from the sand and close to all the attractions in town. It’s the perfect spot for a family getaway, with plenty of space and a layout that made everyone feel comfortable.The home is beautifully maintained and offers all the essentials for a relaxing vacation. While having a kayak set would have been a nice bonus, it didn’t detract from our overall experience. We’d gladly stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and convenient beachfront retreat!
This place was setup so thoughtfully and intuitively. Each room was so comfortable and homey. The open living space and kitchen with wide open ocean views was breathtaking! Perfect location and spotless. We will be back!

We had the best time at this property last month . Conveniently located right on the beach , we enjoyed every moment here , back and forth from the beach to the condo, drinking coffee in the mornings with a gorgeous view on the deck . Also so comfortable for a large group , we all had plenty of space and privacy . We cooked all but one meal during stay due to the fabulous and well stocked kitchen . Truly a gem of a property !

Hello Kevin, Thank you for sharing the positive review. Hope to see you again in the near future! Kindest Regards, Your Southern Team
House was great. Very clean and in working order. Beach was amazing. Had problems with keypad but management helped us through that. Definitely recommend. The add on $$$ was a bit high so for us it worked out to be 1K daily but split 2 ways was so worth it!!

After losing our mother we didn't want to spend Christmas in any of our homes, so we decided to go away and spend some time together in a beach to allow more healing to take place in our hearts. The entire experience was very refreshing.

Hello Carl, Thank you for sharing the positive review. We are sorry for your loss and glad your family was able to have a refreshing holiday getaway. We look forward to hosting you again in the future! Kindest Regards, Your Southern Team
This beach house was perfect for our girls trip getaway! Be prepared to bring or buy every little thing upon arriving though. Toilet paper, coffee, coffee filters, salt and pepper, dish soap, etc. The hospitality is lacking when it comes to these comforts, unfortunately.
