We really enjoyed our stay at Blue Heron Beach House! The location was fantastic, especially being able to walk to several of the shops and restaurants on the north end of Anna Maria Island. The house itself was clean, comfortable, well-appointed, and very well equipped with modern amenities. We also loved the pool, hot tub, and outdoor space, which made it a great place to relax after a day at the beach.Our only frustration was with after-hours maintenance. Around 5:15 one evening, all of the Nest smoke detectors began chirping due to low batteries. Since the management office closes at 5:00, our maintenance request went unanswered and my husband ultimately had to climb up and remove the detectors himself. Thankfully it wasn’t an emergency, but it highlighted the need for some type of after-hours maintenance contact, since issues don’t always happen during business hours.That said, this was a relatively small hiccup in an otherwise wonderful stay. We loved the house and the location and would absolutely recommend Blue Heron Beach House to others visiting Anna Maria Island!
