Absolutely Awful Experience
We didn’t even to stay! No notice of ferry schedule or fee or cancellations (meaning no access to the property) on the listing. Put us out of our way about 2 hours to finally find a hotel around midnight. Captain of the ferry is ride. Owner of the home “Denise” does not respond to your calls or return them, and does not respond to EVOLVE, which is.a third party website VRBO uses I guess. Still no response regarding my refund, as we spend $527 and some change for two lousy nights with very unprofessional companies and homeowner. DO NOT BOOK!

Lovely Herron Island stay
Nice, quiet location. House was well equipped. We didn’t use the kayaks as our friends on the island have plenty, but it’s a great option to have available. Loved our morning walks to say “hi” to the island deers. Would definitely stay again.

Great stay on Herron Island
We enjoyed the property and the relaxed pace of the island. We enjoyed walking around the island, looking at the houses, feeding the deer, and visiting the beaches. We did have some issues with the ferry and we could not find the single person kayak. But overall, a nice, relaxing visit.

Anniversary Trip
Really enjoyed our stay on the island. Comfortable place. Liked having a choice of bedrooms (up or downstairs), and having two bathrooms. We made good use of the kayaks everyday, even when it rained one day. It was difficult to find all the kayak choices since many of the marking on the kayaks are wearing off. We also noted that the one garbage can outside was full when we arrived nd we really struggled to put our own trash in it the we left. It seems it should have been empty when we arrived. We enjoyed the evenings sitting on the deck playing cards, and games, and relaxing. We also found the dryer full and washed bedding and towels. Whoever comes to clean the place in-between renters must have missed emptying the dryer. Thanks for a great stay. We would like to stay again next year.

Peaceful island fun
We really enjoyed our experience, though the description of sleeping capacity (6) should have clarified that the upstairs quarters where the Murphy bed is also houses a small futon in a very tight space. Maybe ok for 4 adults and 2 children, but not 6 adults. Other than that, we enjoyed sharing our family gathering there (two of whom also have a cabin in the island).

Dated/ Needs Maintenance
Has lots of room for large parties. Large deck. Home was clean. Very dated and in need of a full maintenance run through. Exterior lights not operational. No satellite for TV. Deck needs resurfacing, splintering all over, along with other smaller items.

Birds and Deer galore
Small comfortable home. Not a lot of room to stretch out but everything works well and is perfect for the price. The beach access is lovely and it's so nice to walk where there is no traffic. Be prepared for the days it rains. No internet and minimal channels on Dish but there is a Free Little Library across the street to take a book and read. A true getaway. Restorative. Birds will wake you up and it's fun to see the deer. No deer food this time. Enjoy

This rental served as a perfect retreat for us while we worked on our rental house. We had very relaxing evenings which we definitely looked forward to. The house was perfect in every way.. It is immaculate and had everything a rental needs and all of this plus watching the beautiful deer made this a very enjoyable stay. Without question we would definitely return.

Wonderful getaway!
We had a wonderful trip to Herron island and we're so pleased with this vrbo. All the instructions, including how to use the ferry, we're helpful and clear. The home was cozy and clean. Out kids especially loved the little pirate themed park next to the home! We would definitely stay again! Our only (very minor!) complaint is that the dryer is very loud. I had intended to dry a load of clothes after the kids went to bed but it was too noisy. Very grateful for this peaceful retreat, thanks!

Great stay at the island
This property was perfect for our small family. It had everything needed - from kitchenware to extra blankets, it had it all. Loved the detailed instructions from Dianne & Adam ahead of our stay (even though we were familiar with the island and ferry process I think this is super important for the guests!). Everything was wonderful and would not hesitate to stay again!

Beautiful Blue cabin home
We loved staying here, I highly recommend this place to others. The home was nice and clean, there was no smell. The beds were comfy and nice. The laundry and the kitchen areas were nice and the deer came up to us and we were able to feed them. There was also special food for the deer that was provided and there was a folder with the instructions on how to use the property. Thank you again. Great job.

Clean, spacious , comfortable place
We stayed here over the Memorial day weekend and enjoyed our stay. Our friends stayed across the street, water front, so it gave us good perspective. So the only minus of this place is - no beach access and no view of the water. If its important to you than don't rent it. Everything else was great. It was clean and roomy and comfy. The lawn up front and attached wooded area is perfect for playing games and kids. Kitchen was fully stocked. Teflon frying pans can be replaced, maybe with stainless steel so they don't get scratched up that easily. Bedrooms comfy and heaters worked great. Front deck is extensive and very nice. Deer came by daily to visit. We walked over to North Beach and used kayaks too. All in all it was a great weekend.

This was the perfect place for me and my 10-year-old son to have a boys’ weekend. Feeding the deer was a highlight and a perfect view of the stars and the lunar eclipse.

Fun times for a family of four
Our family of four had a great stay on Heron Island. The cabin had plenty of space to relax & enjoy our time. The kids enjoyed having the whole upstairs to themselves, with 2 beds, their own bath, & a nice size TV to play some video games. The master was large, & we definitely utilized the laundry room & kitchen a few cooked meals.

I loved that there were two Separate sleeping areas one upstairs and one downstairs with their own private bathrooms. The owners were very thoughtful and left food to feed the deer!!
