Quiet neighborhood. We had a water issue, but it was resolved and Gulf Coast kept communications with us.

It was a great location and it was clean. Very close to Englewood and Venice beaches and shopping. Unfortunately the water was awful coming from sinks and shower. Had to buy lots of bottled water for brushing teeth rinsing fruits and veggies and drinking. Screens and windows were falling apart so couldn’t open the windows

Beach Heron house

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the Beach Heron. The house is comfortable and well furnished for relaxing. The neighborhood is quiet and convenient to shops and restaurants. The only suggestion is to add some larger skillets for cooking. Other than that, the kitchen is well set up for meal preparation. I would highly recommend this property to others.

Clean, Coastal Themed Vacation Rental

This was a great rental for us to stay in while we waited to close on our new home. It has everything you need in the kitchen to cook your own meals at home. It was clean and has newer furnishings. It is also in a great location, close to beaches, stores, restaurants and Venice Island.
