4 Bed, 4 Bath w/ Private Beach Club Access

This is our 3rd trip to the Blue Heron! The house has everything you need and is a short walk to the beach and beach pool/restaurant. We absolutely love being able to sit and have some good food and drink and have an ocean view. The neighborhood pool and weight room is also great to keep yourself on track for fitness goals. Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, and Pensacola Beach are all close. Flora Bama is a must! This year we watched the Blue Angels practice and that was incredible. Gulf Shores state park is an awesome place to go for a walk or e-bike ride. Lana, thanks for always being a gracious host!!!

This was my 1st visit to Perdido Key and it will not be my last. Blue Heron by the Sea was the perfect place to stay. House was spacious and clean. Location was absolutely amazing. The Beach Club was just fantastic. The transport back and forth to the beach was a huge plus. Can't wait to come to back again.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The house is beautiful.

The Blue Heron by the sea is wonderful place to stay and perfect for families. It has great amenities with pools, fitness center and the private beach access with umbrellas and chair provided. We never had an issue getting chairs and umbrellas, the 2 pools (1 in the community, 1 on the beach with a restaurant/bar) were great. It is a gated community with security at the front, so only the people who have credentials are allowed in. That’s a nice feature especially when traveling with children. The location has plenty of shopping and restaurants close by, but because of the location it doesn’t feel like you’re in a busy area, it feels like a nice, quiet and private place. The house is incredible, spacious, well appointed has everything needed for a great vacation with small or large groups. I highly recommend staying here.

Thank you Lana for being so responsive and providing such a great place for our family to stay! We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation. Blue Heron By The Sea is in a wonderful neighborhood. The pools and facilities in Lost Keys are very well kept and clean. The house is perfect for a large group or family. Would definitely recommend Blue Heron for your family vacation!

Had a great stay at Blue Heron. House is well stocked with everything you could possibly need, plenty of room for everyone, and Lana was super quick to respond to any of our needs. Pool down the street was probably the kids' favorite and they loved being able to bike to pool and beach. Streets are pretty safe for kids to ride on. Having the pool and restaurant on the beach was a nice perk and it was never difficult to grab beach chairs despite the crowds. Lana's advice of dropping a group off at the beach and then driving back to house and biking back was the best bet. The public beach parking next door was usually full. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks for everything Lana!

Our stay was wonderful. Lena was great to deal with during our stay and the home was beautiful and perfect for our family.

This was our first time to Perdido Key and the Lost Key Resort. Overall, we had a pleasant stay at the Blue Heron. The home is spacious with ample room for a large family or group. The home is appropriately appointed for a rental property. (We could’ve used an ice cream scooper though!) We did not find the beds to be comfortable and the set of bunk beds were too wobbly to feel safe. The washer and dryer worked well and we were happy it wasn’t a front loader! The reason we deducted 1 star was due to the beach “resort”. Our vacation began by waiting in a queue for 30 minutes at the guard shack to register our vehicle and get a parking tag. We arrived at about 5pm on a Saturday with many other travelers. This information could VERY easily be provided ahead of time and a tag mailed or left at the unit for renters. Second, while the description is accurate that it is about 1 mile from the house to the actual beach, it is not mentioned that you have to cross a very busy highway without a crosswalk. There is a crosswalk down by the public beach access but not in front of the actual club. 2 of our party almost got hit by a car riding a bike across the cross path! If you’re used to Seaside, this traffic did not stop! While there is a shuttle, it is very hard to actually utilize. When we would call to request the car, we were told it would be 20-30 minutes each time, even at times when the busyness slowed. Since there isn’t parking at the beach club for guests, this was annoying. It is much too far to tote children, gear, etc: so we ended up driving, dropping off, and someone would ride a bike back. Lastly, we felt the beach club not to be worth the extra premiums paid for this rental. The pool by the beach (where the bar is located) is TINY and seats fill up very quickly. The larger pool is nice but also fills up quickly. It’s worth noting that you are not allowed to hold a drink in the water or even have it on the edge. Security guards walked around many times and made people remove them. It kind of killed the vacation vibe. The bar and restaurant are currently not open M-W (which was told to us a week before check-in via email). However, the drinks were good and the food average. If you want a beach chair, go EARLY as they fill up fast. However, be prepared to leave by 5pm because they remove the chairs at 5:30pm! All in all the house and owner are very nice and accommodating but the club needs some operating improvement.

Great condo/house. Great amenities and perfect sand/beach.

This home has just about everything you need! There’s plenty of beach chairs and a couple of umbrellas. The kitchen has plenty of dishes and tools. It was really nice how they provided soap, a couple of trash bags and dishwasher and laundry pods. The beds are very comfortable. The house was very clean and I am a picky person. We had a great week! The Blue Heron is a very nice place to stay!
