Great time and the house has nice outdoor spaces. Nice lake location too. Rooms are spacious. Communication with property manager was excellent and check-in, check-out easy.
The house was exactly as advertised with a stunning view of the lake, convenient to restaurants and popular spots on the lake. The house itself had lots of extras like kayaks, games, grill etc. This was a perfect vacation for our family of 6 and we hope to stay again soon!
We had a really wonderful stay. The owners were very responsive and helpful and the house was clean and had everything we needed for a short birthday celebration trip. We enjoyed the lake and took the kayaks out one afternoon. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room for the six of us. Would definitely stay here again!
Our family had a great time at the Heron's Cove Cottage, this was our second visit. The house is perfect for our family of 6, clean and has a beautiful view of the Sandbar. The Sandbar Marina and Grill is close by and the house is close to many restaurants and grocery stores. Highly recommend.

Hey guys! second trip to the cove and hopefully it won't be the last. We love the place. It is truly a place of beauty and peace. Just for you to note, it needed a good cleaning. Nothing big, but the surfaces were all very dusty. I looked for something to clean with, but there was nothing I could find like pledge. The floor needed some attention as well. It was nothing dirty, just dust and a few bugs; almost like it had been cleaned a while ago, then sat empty for a bit. Everything IMPORTANT was very clean like bedding, towels, bathrooms, and kitchen. Also, there are outlets and lights in the kitchen that don't work on the sink side. These are minor things, but as hosts I trust you would want to know :) See you next time!
Overall a very nice place to spend some time away from home
The property was amazing the only thing we wished was different is the water isnt able to be drank from the faucet and leaves behind a slightly unpleasent smell. Im assuming its well water considering the location of the house. But its worth dealing with for the privacy and virw
Beautiful lake house! We hosted our son’s wedding rehearsal dinner on the beautiful deck. It was great and so much for our whole family to do, for all ages. The dock was awesome to swim from and the kayaks were a great addition. Going back in a month!
