Worst in my experience
The fact that this place was rated 8.2 on hotels.com greatly erodes any trust I might have had in their ratings. It is not a hotel. It is a run down motel, decades old, in shabby condition. The first problem was the room number began with “1” but was finally located on the third floor. There is no elevator. The steps are steep, have no real hand railings, and are slippery when wet. The room is shabby by my standards. I have traveled internationally and stayed in low and high graded hotels. The floor had a definite slope. The balcony doors were rusted and difficult to open. The furniture is shabby, inappropriate and generally unpleasant. The phone is not functional. The towels were inadequate and seemed worn or poorly laundered. The kitchen had a tiny microwave, two dish towels, no dish cloths, no napkins, no placemats, and filthy looking scraps of silverware. The next day, I expected the room would be cleaned, trash emptied, and the towels replaced. This did not happen. I discovered the room phone was dead when I tried to call the desk. So I called the hotel number on my cell. I asked the woman who answered for more towels, and she said I should come and get them in the office. I paid a premium price for this room for the area. This is no service at all. At that point I considered the fact that the entire town closes at 8pm and by 10pm the street is vacant. I’ve had enough beach and waves, and I have work waiting for me elsewhere. I packed up and checked out early.

Beachside weekend trip
Location was great, right on the beach. Lots of good restaurants nearby. We were on the ground floor and wore shoes inside due to sand. Didnt bother us though. Con of being so beach side. We never saw a single employee to get new towels or anything. But we only stayed thurs to sunday. So we survived. Walls are a little thin, we could hear neighbors showering. So maybe not a good place for light sleepers. We enjoyed the quiet pool and hot tub. Overall, would recommend for a quiet weekend beach trip.

This is an older motel but very well taken care of. It’s right on the beach (get the 3rd floor for a view from the balcony due to the dunes), the grounds are very well taken care of and the staff is amazing. There is an indoor pool and hot tub, as well as 2 outdoor pools, all very clean. There is no elevator but there is a motorized cart that will take your stuff to the top floor and back. We will definitely be coming back

Clean, budget and family friendly.
Blue Heron is perfect for a budget-friendly family vacation. It has the amazing beach access as well as indoor/outdoor pool. My family has stayed there several times now and its everything we need. It is not super modern and updated but very clean and convenient. We will continue staying here!
