A wonderfully cozy place. We appreciated all of the little things that were provided to enhance our stay - beach towels, coffee and condiments, etc. the location is perfect - close to everything without being congested. We stayed here in early March.

Linda,
Thank you for your review, if you come back again maybe you would like the King bed and the water/canal view. If coming with a larger group we also have a small bungalow, (sleeps 5) in Nokomis, 1.25 miles from the beach. Again thank you for your review and it was our pleasure to host you.
We traveled to Sarasota for some beach time. We found everything as listed. Easy check in and out. Great food and music at the Restaurant on the property. Thanks for and enjoyable weekend.

Thank you for the 5 Star and kind words review on the Blue Heron. We are very happy that you enjoyed the amenities. We have other suites we manage there, one on the water. We also have long-term condos or a larger house for more guests, if you or your family or friends come to SW Florida to stay. We will be happy to assist everyone.
Thanks again,
Jon
Place had all you need. Very clean, I think some of it had been redone. Airport is pretty close so you could hear planes. Fun tiki bar but if you go to bed early, the music is pretty loud. Had an enjoyable time

Bret,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We manage other properties, but it is hard to match all the amenities. If we can help for your travel needs, please let us know.
Thanks again,

Unit was clean and comfortable. It was listed as a condo but was unclear that it was a converted Ramada inn room. That being said it was perfectly fine for what we needed.

Jennifer,
Thank you for your review. It's a condotel, it was a hotel, then all condos, and now a condotel. We hope you will stay with us again; we manage other units there and other places as well.
Thanks again,
Jon
My daughter and I were in town for her gymnastics meet. Loved all the little details in the space- cold water bottles, extra beach towels, plenty of coffee, quality bath towels, champagne at check-in. The tiki bar was fantastic with great live music and a spectacular view. Enjoyed the pool. Ty.

I hesitate to write this review because I don’t want to advertise this hidden gem. We want to keep it all to ourselves. We stayed two nights on a last minute booking over the 4th of July weekend. The room was perfect. Clean and cozy with absolutely everything we needed. Fridge, coffee maker, microwave and toaster oven. The property was very nice. Check in was fast and easy and Lynn at the front desk was very kind and helpful. The host was very accommodating when we asked for a late checkout. The tiki bar on property was our favorite place to hang out in the evenings and enjoy a drink or two. The mojitos made by John were the best we’ve ever had. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly. Live music was a very nice touch. We already have plans to come back.
