The house & location are amazing. The communication & amenities were good. Our only issue was we could not keep the house cool even after a visit from HVAC. It wouldn't deter us from booking again. It was most enjoyable

We had a great family vacation at Blue Heron Estate. It’s such a great secluded location yet close to great restaurants. The hosts were fantastic. The house was so clean!! Beds were comfortable. The pool is inviting. I would recommend this to anyone. Such a great place. Can’t wait to get back.
Absolutely gorgeous property. Enjoyed the sunrise, the heated pool, kayaks and the deer are just darling. It is a slice of paradise n I am so happy we began this year at Blue Heron Estate surrounded by love n laughter.

I'm glad that you and your family enjoyed staying at Blue Heron. I agree with you, it is a slice of paradise. Thank you for choosing Blue Heron for your family vacation. You are welcome to come back any time. The pictures are awesome.
The home is beautiful and the pictures do an accurate job of showcasing this amazing property! We loved the land, the ocean view and access, the pool, and the decks. The interior rooms were perfect for our family and we loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom. The kitchen was well stocked. The Key Deer greeted us multiple times per day. The kids loved the pool and basketball court. We had a fabulous week and look forward to returning some day! Michelle and Mark are gracious hosts.

It was a pleasure meeting you all. I'm glad you had a great time. You are welcome to come back anytime.
This property is ideal when looking for relaxation and rest. We thoroughly enjoyed fishing, swimming, kayaking, feeding the deer, eating as family in the large gathering space and being only 15 minutes from Marathon and 35 from key west. Highly recommend!!!
I cannot say enough about this house!! The location is perfect, and the house is in amazing condition. The owners are super nice and accomodating, and clearly take pride in how they take care of their property. We will absolutely be booking again!!!

We loved everything about the house and property. It was just perfect. Either lounging by pool, having drinks on the patio or out fishing. It was a perfect week.

We are very pleased that you had a great time and enjoyed your stay. Keep us in mind when you plan your next FL Keys vacation.
We loved this house. Plenty of room and beautiful views. We like being close to touristy things but not right in the heart of it. This place is perfect for that it’s close to key west and marathon but far enough you don’t feel crowded by people. The house has great amenities (laundry, pool toys, outdoor freezer, kayaks, etc)

This is a beautiful home with a beautiful view in a great location! Michelle is so easy to work with. I can’t say enough about how comfortable, clean, and spacious the house is. Loved the pool, the kitchen, the dock, and our personal herd of Key Deer. We didn’t want to leave and we will definitely be back.

This property was amazing. It was a very comfortable house with each room having their own bathroom. The patio was a gathering place for the family and had incredible views. The pool is large and very refreshing. The wildlife and birds are incredible and the fishing was great. Would highly recommend for any family or group who likes a peaceful, private environment yet can get to Key West easily.

A wonderful home and getaway. Still close enough to Key West. Faces east for beautiful sunrises.
Owners were great and live next door. 30 minutes to Key West. We spent Christmas week with our boys. Large open floor plan great back porch and pool. We all had a great time. Fed the deer celery by hand. Only downer were the biting gnats of the keys. They kept us in at sundown.

I am glad you enjoyed your stay. It was a pleasure meeting you and your family. I can not forget solving the mystery of the smoke detector. Keep us in mind for your next vacation.
Beautiful property with storybook views, everything was better than listed and very clean. The home owners mark and michelle may be thee nicest people in the world! We were the tenants from hell and mark bent over backwards to make sure we had the best possible time. He works on the property with all his free time after 12 to 15 hr days at his regular job to ensure his tenants are happy.. if they will let me back i would definitely stay here every year..

Thank you for your kind words. You are always welcome.
No complaints at all. Made friends with all the deer. The group got bigger everyday. Seems they told all the friends and family about the great apples we had for them in the mornings and evenings. At the end we had 3 Bucks, many new families visit. Was the Best time.

We are lucky to have them around all year around. The families are growing since Hurricane Irma. Hope to see you soon.
We loved our stay at the Blue Heron…we were greeted when we arrived by the Key Deer that made frequent visits during our stay. The view is gorgeous. The home is big with an open feel. The owners Michelle and Mark are easy to communicate with. We loved hanging by the pool, fishing off the pier, dinners on the huge covered porch. Key West is a 40 minute drive south. We definitely hope to return in the future. If you are into a rustic chill environment Big Pine Key is the place for you. Thanks Michelle and Mark for sharing your beautiful home.

This vacation home has it all! Location, Location, Location!
So much unbelievable space, inside and out! When you drive up the driveway, you just can’t believe your eyes, you don’t know where to look first, between the home and the views. The space of this home and the pool is just remarkable. Everything a family would need and want is available! Michelle and Mark keep the home and grounds so clean and pristine! Their communication is impeccable!
We rented bikes from Big Pine Bike Shop, that was fun.
Not only is Blue Heron Estate wonderful, Big Pine Key is a perfect spot for every want! If you want it all, this is the place to be! We had a vacation of a lifetime! Thank You Michelle and Mark!
The property is very spacious with a very large pool. The access to the sea is not the best, it is only accessible with kayaks. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The fridge was not freezing properly, the clerk came to evaluate quickly, but did not pack it until the end of our stay. There was no shredder in the sink either, but it is not something that is needed so much. We saw deer everyday on the property. I think it would be nice if they had some beach items like chairs and umbrella for guests to use. There are plenty of towels to use at the house and on the beach. Overall we enjoyed the property, and would rent again on a next trip to the Florida keys.

I'm not sure what you meant when you said that access to the ocean is only with kayaks. The property has the best boating access to the Atlantic Ocean from the North side of Seven Mile Bridge in all of the Lower Keys!! It is only one and a half miles to the Atlantic and a short run to what is called the "Back Country" on the Gulf side. Our dock is 70' long and as you know it is in a protected area. There is a minimum depth of six feet. 33' boats have had no problem getting in and out. Please look at Google Earth as proof of how great the location is for boaters. Hope to see you again. You may cosider renting a boat on your next visit.
