The Blue Heron 30A

A modern 4 bedroom, 4 ½ bath 2-story home, built in 2017 is located only a short flat walk to the beach in a quiet neighborhood. It is a spacious 2200 sqft beach home decorated in a modern coastal style, with 10ft ceilings and white washed oak hardwood floors throughout.

Whether preparing a meal in the well-stocked kitchen, playing games, or lounging on the comfy sectional watching a movie on the Smart TV, memory-making family time is encouraged by the bright, airy, and open floor plan. We have 2 front porches and a secluded back patio with seating and a gas barbecue grill for relaxing outside. 4 bikes are available for your use during your stay.

The home sleeps 9 comfortably with each bedroom having their own bathroom.
Primary BR Downstairs – King bed, double sink vanity, tile surround soaking tub and shower combo

Designed with family fun in mind, there's something for everyone here. If you are looking to put your toes in the sugar white sand beaches and emerald water, you are a 10 min walk to Ed Walline Public Beach Access which is equipped with parking, bathrooms, outdoor showers, picnic tables, grills and is ADA accessible. Across from the beach access is Gulf Place which offers restaurants like Shunk Gulley with stunning gulf views, shopping, bike rentals and live entertainment. If the pool is more your speed, we are just a few houses away from the community pool which is never crowded because it is only available to the small number of homes on our street. From Gulf Place you have access to the 19 mile paved bike path that parallels the entire length of 30A passing through all the famous beach communities (Dune Allen Beach, Grayton Beach, Seacrest Beach, Seaside, Alys Beach, Rosemary Beach).

For shoppers, the Grand Boulevard shops and Silver Sands Premium outlet mall have anything you may want, and there are numerous golf courses nearby and several tennis facilities all within a 15 minute drive.

Note: Parking for 3 cars. No student rentals. Street legal golf carts are allowed on 30A.

Guests pets are not allowed and smoking is not permitted in our home.

Grocery stores are less than a 10-minute drive and Publix now has online ordering and delivery to our area allowing you more time to relax and enjoy your vacation.

Perfect Home for a Family Beach Getaway!

We had a wonderful stay with our family of 6 adults and one child. The home was spacious, very clean, and very comfortable, with plenty of room for everyone to relax without feeling crowded. There were more than enough towels for beach/pool use and we loved that there were some beach toys for the little one to enjoy!The walk to the beach was easy, about 10 minutes, and the neighborhood was welcoming and safe. We’d recommend renting beach chairs and bringing along your favorite games for evenings or a rainy indoor day.All in all, a fantastic rental for a laid-back, family-friendly beach vacation. We'd absolutely stay here again!

Blue Heron Stay for Spring Break 2022

The property was great and was a perfect fit for all 9 of us, including 3 kids who loved the bunk bedroom. I thought the house was even better in person than through the photos. It had a great space and met all of our needs. It's a very short walk to 30A, and close by a lot of local places, and the beach. We had a great time and would stay there again. Angela was great through the whole process and answered a few questions about the area prior to us arriving, and provided some great recommendations.
