Reviewer Comments:
This was our third summer renting through Blue Heron, and while we've had positive experiences in the past, we were disappointed with this particular property. Cape Charles homes are older, and that's the charm of staying in the area, but the cleanliness of the house fell well below expectations.The home is in need of a thorough deep clean. There was noticeable dust, the floors and carpets needed vacuuming, and the overall condition made it difficult to feel comfortable. The house is also filled with a significant amount of decorative items and oversized furniture, making several of the rooms feel cluttered and less functional than they could be.Families with young children should also know that we didn't find the home especially kid-friendly due to the layout and abundance of fragile décor. The upstairs bonus room/kids room has wood floors that are splintering and unsafe for little bare feet.The outdoor shower hose off area created a mud pit and attracted mosquitos, making it impossible to clean off after the beach. The kids were dirtier with mud than sand!The location is excellent—an easy walk to both the beach and town. We also appreciated that each bedroom had its own private toilet, even though the bathrooms themselves were quite small(and dingy).Unfortunately, the condition of the home put a damper on what should have been a relaxing vacation. With a deep cleaning, decluttering, and some updates, this property could be much more enjoyable. As it stands, we would not choose to stay here again or recommend it to others.Property managers were lovely to work with and I'll note that we did not bring up our issues to them during our stay.
