Very nice, dog friendly beach house. My family enjoyed our time at Prime Hook Beach. I loved being in a quiet beach community right next to Prime Hook Natl Wildlife Refuge. The views of the marsh are wonderful and I enjoyed birding with my morning coffee on the upper balcony. I also enjoyed the quick hop across the street to the beach for early morning walks with my dog. The house had everything we needed for my husband and I with our two adult daughters. The kitchen was well appointed and we had no trouble cooking family dinners. the outdoor flattop grill was a nice addition to make meals.

The place was just what we were looking for-very dog friendly and quiet. The house was gorgeous, extremely clean and had every accommodation. The neighbors were very friendly too. I wish we could have stayed longer to use the kayaks. Maybe next time!!

We had a wonderful stay. Heron’s Haven is beautiful and off the beaten path (which was our goal), so we had an incredible peaceful stay with my family and our very old puppy. There was a flattop grill with a full propane of tank that we used almost each day for making our family dinner. The kitchen was stocked with dishes and included coffee pots with coffee to use. The whole house was incredibly clean, we did need to supply our own towels and sheets, but we expected this. There was a deck with a wonderful view all around, and we spent quite a bit of time watching sunsets and a beautiful lightning storm. The welcome book had great ideas on nearby activities and restaurants which we used throughout our stay. It was truly a wonderful stay and we would love to return here in the future.

The house has the most incredible views of Primehook National Refuge. It is in a relaxed, quiet, and tranquil beach setting. The home is updated, clean, and well equipped. Everyone in the area was extremely nice and friendly. The home provided everything that anyone could ask for. The host made check-in and check-out extremely easy and quickly responds and communicates with their guests. The home and overall experience is a 10 out of 10 and we will definitely be returning.Thank you for a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend!
