Better than Advertised

This property was Excellent. In every way, it exceeded expectations. The property was spacious, immaculately clean, equipped with everything you could ever need and to top it off, the owner was tremendous. I recommend this place without reservation.

There were 10 of us all together. We had plenty of room. The accomodations were very comfortable. The pool was great and we had everything we needed to cook our Thanksgiving dinner.

We were centrally located to the beaches and shopping. Plenty of things to do in the area. We all had a wonderful time. For the price, I would venture to say that you could NOT do better in SouthEastern Florida.

Wonderful, wonderful time.

Above and Beyond

Review submitted: April 4, 2012   Date of arrival: February 23, 2012

Recently, two of my sons & daughter-in-law and I spent a week in Heron's Nest in PSL. To say it was enjoyable is an understatement. It was above and beyond. We enjoyed everything. There was not a single thing we needed that was not provided. Thank you for providing this wonderful experience for us. We enjoyed it beyond belief, Everything is in such good taste.
Sincerely, Connie

Great Family Retreat

Linda (St. Louis, MO)

We just returned from a wonderful week in this lovely Port St. Lucie home. There were six of us traveling together and the home was very spacious and perfect for our needs. We were only about a 40 minute drive from Roger Dean Stadium. The pool is a bit small, but adequate for a refreshing dip. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone who loves warm weather, baseball, golf and the beach!

Some friends and myself were on a winter break golf getaway. This was a perfect place. Very spacious house clean& nice lay out.Private Pool and barbeque area were nice. Perfect location for golf and only 5 min from beautiful jensen beach. The owner was very easy to work with i will recommend to anyone looking in that area.

Girl's Week 2011

We spent our Girl's Week at this lovely home. The house was just as pictured in the photos. We went out for dinner a few times but otherwise spent most of our time at the pool chatting and reading. It was a very enjoyable week.

Great House

Stephanie (New York)
Review submitted: June 15, 2011   Date of arrival: February 18, 2011

Nice area, lots to do, House was clean, pool was excellent. Great master bath. Had to put some of the breakables away to "toddler proof", patio has optional safety fence which was a great relief to a mom with 2 kids under 5. Owner was very accomodating, neighbors were nice. House was well appointed, was probably one of my best vacations, just hanging out at the pool, lots of shopping nearby, fort pierce farmers market nearby, stuart beaches nearby. My son was thrilled there was a tv in the kids bedroom. Felt like home and will definately stay again.

Great Spring Break!

Joe (Anderson, IN, USA)
Review submitted: April 9, 2011   Date of arrival: April 2, 2011

Accurate description. Very clean & well maintained. Great decor. Great, prompt communication. We had everything we needed except food & drink. Just minutes from beach. Minutes from grocery, general shopping, etc. In quiet residential area. Went down for Spring Break/get-a-way and to spend time w/ my brother & sis-in-law who live in Port St. Lucie -- My wife & 2 boys (ages 2 & 4 -- we celebrated our youngests' 2 b-day while there); my sister, bro-in-law & niece (age 7); & my mom & dad (mid 70's). With 3 families splitting it evenly, it was much, much cheaper than a hotel (w/ more ameneties). Layout is great -- very open but intimate, comfortable living space that has lots of "nooks" to sit and read or have a conversation or whatever w/out being seperate from the rest of your group (you'll understand what I mean after you rent it -- it was great). Master suite is huge & private -- we gave that to mom & dad. Back rm has twin beds (we put 4 & 7 year olds there); then we kept the 2 yr old in our rm in a pack & play and my sis & bro-in-law got the other rm. Still rm for more -- sectional folds out into full size if you need it. Pool is awesome -- kids lived in the pool and although we didnt use it, there is a kid fence so that you can still let the kids into the enclosed pool area w/out worrying about them drowning. Tons of windows & sliding glass (& regular) doors opening out into pool area (there is a bathrm w/ shower right off of pool area -- extremely handy). Used the heck out of the grill. Pool area is private on 3 sides and then looks out into back yard/canal on the 4th side. Large backyard that has a canal. We had 3 cars in the drive -- plenty of room there. Lots to do around area (golf, fishing, eco/nature, shopping, etc) although we kept things low key and mostly hung around the Heron's Nest w/ family. Loved Conchy Joe's (Ed recomended this as well as my brother who is a local) for authentic ambience, affordable, casual seafood on the water -- get the Hemingway Daquiri or Rum Runner, conch chowder, raw oysters on the half shell and finish w/ the Key Lime pie. The only bad part of the trip was watching Bulter men & Notre Dame women losing b-ball nat'l championships on the bigscreen TV. Thanks Ed -- we would definately rent the Heron's Nest again -- this will be our first choice when we go back. I was just looking at some of your other properties -- I've never been to the Jersey Shore -- we may have to check it out.

Great Fathers Day Weekend

Yankeefan (New York City)
Review submitted: June 28, 2010   Date of arrival: June 18, 2010

We rented Heron's Nest for a family weekend. Description was very accurate. Place was very clean (my dad is a neat freak) and well maintained. We had a very minor problem with the A/C and the owner came over as soon as we called. The pool was very nice. We had guests over for an afternoon and the you could hear the kids squealing with joy all the way down the block. My Aunt is a great cook and found everything she needed in the kitchen. Initially my family was apprehensive, and wanted to rent hotel rooms. After 1 day at Heron, they were praising my choice, and trust me, my family is hard to please. I would stay there again in a heartbeat. GREAT TIME
