Walk to the Beach, 4 BR, Sleeps 8 in Daytona Beach

We loved the "Nest"

Review submitted: May 21, 2013   Date of arrival: May 21, 2013

We had a wonderful time at the Herons Nest. It met all of our needs (and wants). The Herons nest was beautifully decorated, like something out of House Beautiful magazine. We felt right at home. It was a special time in our family as our granddaughter graduated from Embry Riddle University. Families came together in Daytona for this special event, most staying at hotels. We went out in the evening but were able to get together at the Herons Nest to visit later in the evening. Thank you for your house. Once again, thank you for making a special event even more memorable

Vacation of a lifetime

In May of this year my wife and I took my daughter to Disney in Orlando Florida. After a week of Disney we needed to relax on the beach, so we booked the Herons Nest in Daytona Beach FL. Once we arrived in Daytona we were so astonished by this house and the view of the sun setting over the river. My wife and I spent 3 of the best days of our vacation just sitting on the deck drinking wine and enjoying the rivers breeze. During the day we would walk to the beach side for shopping and fun days at the beach, which was fun. However we would always make it back to the house for the sunset. After the vacation was over it was very hard to leave this place.

We have just booked our vacation for next year we are spending 3 days in Disney and 7 at the herons nest

Simply Amazing Sunsets!!

I have been staying at the Heron's nest for years (around 15 to be exact). In fact, when I am in the Daytona area I wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else. My girlfriends and I love the amazing patio. We spend hours sitting on the patio, drinking coffee, listening to music, and enjoying the beautiful sunsets. There is so much to do in the Daytona area, but to be honest with you it is hard for me to leave the Heron's Nest. I am from the big city of Houston, and to be able to sit in my pajamas and drink my coffee with the view offered at the Heron's Nest it is truly difficult to pull myself away from the patio.

When we do leave the Heron's Nest, we always spend one day driving up the coast to visit the historical town of St. Augustine. St. Augustine has incredible shopping and great places to eat!! The drive to and from St. Augustine on A1A is one you will never forget. Oh, and you will not want to miss lunch at Snack Jacks in Flagler Beach (on the way to St. Augustine). Snack Jacks is located directly on the beach and the Fish Sandwich is the bomb!! Very casual...

Another great place in the Daytona area you will not want to miss is the "Ocean Deck". On Saturday afternoon, they have Karoake!! Great food, great music, and right on the beach!!

Another great place to visit while in Daytona Beach is the Flee Market! It is huge -- one of kind -- and always on my to do list!! Only open on the weekends.

The really cool thing about the Heron's Nest is that is extremely close to everything, but far enough away that you do not have to deal with traffic and parking. You can walk to the beach, or better yet just hang out on the patio (my personal favorite!!).
