    2175 West Beach Blvd

    Blue Heron! So cute. So nice. Stand-alone, beachfront 5BR home sleeps up to 18. Wide open beach feels like your own. Expansive views from the BIG decks. Whether sunrise or sunset, coffee or cocktails, you ll love it! Guest favorite since we bought it. The heatable pool is in! It is 21x11x5 and sheltered under the southern side of the home. New pool pics too! Extraordinary place! Come relax in our home.

    Brand new virtual tour up now, and the new HDR photography up soon! Wow! What a great looking place! :-)

    Wifi! You bet. Strong. Very usable for work or play. A Keurig, and two drip coffee makers, because... coffee! Coffee not your thing? Ice! Stand alone ice maker, and ice maker in the fridge too. Roku on the main living room tv for those who want to login to their streaming services from the vacation!

    More! Many summer weeks gone already! Get it before it's gone.

    We've christened her the Blue Heron, because she reminds us a bit of that majestic seaside bird, plus check out that blue, and the reflection of the sky too!

    LOCATION!
    OMG. The BEST wide open beach area right behind your home, and those views from all the BIG decks? Oh so awesome! Beachfront. Yeah, THIS is beachfront!

    POOL?
    You bet! Absolutely. Awesome heatable pool sheltered under the home for a little respite from the hot hot hot of the sun! Private heatable pool. No sharing. 20x10x3-5' Rectangle, and added a propane gas pool heater, so YES the pool is heatable to a maximum of 82-84' (the high side of recommended rec pool temps) to take the chill off! This service is by request in advance with a nightly surcharge that varies by season and is per night for length of stay (the 12 month range has been $65-85 depending on season) gas is expensive right now, this does not actually recoup the cost!). Simply request the pool be heated any time after making the reservation and any time up to at least a few days before check in so we can get it on before you arrive. See our FAQ about heatable pools too. The pool is beachside, in the sun, with an expansive deck area around it, PLUS a nice shaded and sheltered area to escape the heat, right under the home. Nice!

    EXTRA FRIDGE (and an ice maker too)
    Extra fridge? Of course! Full size extra fridge, right around the corner from the kitchen! Oh, and under counter ice maker too (and one in the fridge... because... ice!).

    BEACH ACCESS
    Um, yeah! BEACHFRONT. Right out the back door. Nothing between you and the water but sand!

    PARKING
    There is available onsite parking for 4-6 cars.

    WIFI/INTERNET
    YES! We have an awesome Eero mesh network to ensure excellent wifi coverage throughout this spacious home. Spotty coverage is always an issue for big places. Sure internet may work next to the router in the living room, but what about the far reaches of the home!? That's why we installed a multi-node mesh network. And what's the internet like? It is generally rock solid and ran > 250Mb down the last test--sufficient for several simultaneous video conference sessions for remote work and education. Internet is, of course, an amenity and subject to service provider outages (and guests "troubleshooting" it), especially with the havoc the sand and salt wreak on cabling and facilities, no more so than any other home on the beach though, and likely better since its close in and new construction!

    SOAPS, TOWELS, COFFEE, ETC ETC
    As with most beach homes in the area, the local mgt co provide what they call a "starter supply" of soaps, toilet paper, and paper towels, etc. Enough for the first night to get you going! Please plan to bring or purchase additional supplies, and any cleaning or pantry supplies you may need, or to make a quick run to the store (or have it delivered!). You will want to bring beach towels or beach chairs as well. Because mgt cos will not generally support them, grills are not provided, though they are sometimes inherited from prior guests: your mileage may vary on this, and we usually assess and then go snag a small charcoal kettle when we come down ourselves. Also of note: at many locations, you may find the bunk beds (and certain other beds) are not fully made--instead a bedding pack is provided. This is a common practice for the local management companies, which is both green (if the bedding is not used, it doesn't have to be laundered) AND more sanitary--housekeeping does not have to crawl on the bunks and so on to make the beds. Also also... all our homes have drip coffee makers and most now have Keurigs as well.

    PETS
    We do consider well-behaved canine furry friends. This requires owner pre-approval, and is subject to a pet fee (currently $250 per pet). Please inquire. Subject to restrictions which often vary by season. Again, please inquire.

    Snowbirds welcome. Inquire for best rates. No smoking please. Kids welcome! Weddings and reunions okay too!

    And if Blue Heron is not quite the right size, we own several more homes, bigger, smaller. What do you need? Also also! Blue Heron is only a couple doors east of Dancing Dolphin (and that many west of Egret and Erica's Sandpiper) so you can be close but not too close to other people if that's the way you roll!

    Please note that virtual tours may not be fully up to date if furniture is replaced, or walls painted, etc! They require a full re-scan of all rooms of a home. So, if you have your heart captured by a particular loveseat, and its not longer there, we apologize! 😉 VRBO changed how they do these, so hopefully this shows up!
