Our family loved this place! Just like it is described and more beautiful then pictures! Awesome vacation and loved this beautiful clean home! The owners were wonderful!

No complaints at all! Beautiful and Clean!!

We enjoyed our stay so much! The location, property, and decor were perfect! The bed was comfy, the shower was exhilarating, and the personal touches throughout the home were lovely. Our pups were right at home & we hope to return soon! Definitely recommend!

This is a fabulous property! Serene setting by the canal, easy beautiful walk to the ocean & very comfortable house! And there really are herons on the water!!!

We loved our time at Heron's Hideway! The location on the canal was perfect. My son and husband fished morning, afternoon and night, and we enjoyed kayaking every day. The house and property are beautiful and had everything we needed. Our dog, Lacey, loved exploring and relaxing in the fully fenced front and back yard. The beach is close by -- 20 minute scenic walk or just a short drive. The owners responded to my questions/emails quickly. We will be back!

Great property. We would love to stay again.

Wonderful!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Heron's Hideaway. In a quite peaceful location that is close to sights, restaurants, and the beach. Our corgi also loved the stay. Would definitely like to return! Thank you!

The house is beautiful and comfortable. The rooms are perfect to spread out and nap and relax. The living room was comfortable for the whole family. The kitchen was well prepared to cook at home, and we did nearly every meal. The back deck and gardens were sooooo nice. The canoes which we used were great! Just sitting on the dock was wonderful! I would definitely love to come back. And having the laundry there, as a mom, helped me not arrive home with a ton to do. They really did think of Everything. Now I do love seeing the beach at sunrise and watching the ocean, but this really is a very close second to that. And we did see the Hanks and the herons, I didn’t catch any fish or crabs, but they have a great cleaning station if you do. The walk to the beach is easy, you will see many doing it from the neighborhood. If you have a lot of stuff, the drive to the beach and parking is easy too.

Enjoyed. Very meticlous house, deco, and everything about the house/host were just simply on point.

This property is cozy and inviting. Lots of privacy even though neighbors are quite close. The dock on Davis Canal is a real bonus for those who fish and for birdwatchers. The property owners quickly respond to questions. They obviously love the property, as it is well cared for, and one of them is a gardener :) Amenities to suit everyone. We plan to schedule our third stay next Spring :)

This home was very clean, comfortable and had everything that we needed for a two week stay along with the fenced yard which was wonderful for our fur babies. The location is great, close to the Oak Island beaches as well as surrounding beaches. Plenty of shopping and restaurants and the owner was so easy to work with. We would recommend this property to anyone who enjoyed comfort and privacy. Fishing from the dock was fun as well.

This was our second time staying here and we love your place! Has everything you need! We will definitely be back!

We stayed at Heron’s Hideaway for two weeks in late September. I echo the comments of others that the pictures on VRBO don’t do this house justice. It is so cute, and the yard is just gorgeous. I had to work for several days during our visit, as did my daughter. We found the wifi to be strong and reliable. There was plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen was fully stocked. Walk to beach was about 15 minutes, but it was such a pretty walk! Communication with hosts was fantastic — we were there for Hurricane Ian and they were in contact through everything. Can’t say enough about this place. Can’t wait to go back!

I rented this location for my sister and our parents. They had a great time and enjoyed the home. The dock in the back was great - they caught things and cooked them the same day. I was very busy and was not communicative with the owners, but man are they nice people. They let me know when the house was ready early and were welcoming and let my parents in early. They were very friendly and down to earth in their communications and let us know about a toaster that was being delivered. Many owners who rent are a bit defensive/offensive in their tone when they communicate with renters, these guys were the best! My sister and parents had to leave a few days early as we have a serious family illness back home, but they still had a great time at this rental and definitely want to return.

Beautiful home!!! Very clean. My son said we were selling our home and moving to this house. Loved fishing off the dock. Close to the beach and many delicious places to eat. Amazing. 10/10 would recommend.

The home and property were very nice. The fensed in yard is a beautiful garden. There was a new kayak launch at the dock with two kayaks available in addition to the canoe. The two firepits were inviting. The owners are very attentive to any communication.

This house is the best one we have stayed at by far! The pictures do not do this place justice! The house everything you need. Plenty of room for our family inside and out. We throughly enjoyed the dock! Good, quite neighborhood and convenient to stores and restaurants. We can’t wait to stay here again!

This property was fantastic. This was one of the better homes I have ever stayed at. We absolutely loved it !!!!! We loved the location. Thanks so much Tommy for sharing this beautiful home!!

We didn't like how far from beach it was. And in order to use a golf cart you have to go way out of the way. Other then that we loved the property

We loved our stay here. The area is very quiet and relaxing yet close to the beach. My husband's favorite feature was probably the gigantic tv in the living area! My favorite was the hammock with wind chimes overhead. It overlooked the canal and was a great place to read one of the many books at the house. Our dog's favorite was the fenced in yard where she could explore without being on a leash. The house was only 5 minutes or so from 2 grocery stores and several restaurants and 20 minutes from Southport which was a great place to spend time as well. We hope to stay here again soon.

The fishing was great!

We loved staying here, we have been coming to Oak Island for over 20 years and this is by far our favorite place we have ever stayed.

When we opened the front door, it felt like being welcomed into someone's home rather than a cold hotel with standard decor and noisy neighbors. Everything we needed was on site, and the two minor questions we had were answered by the owner within minutes. This was a great opportunity for us to spend time just enjoying time together, the house, fishing, incredible birds, and the fabulous weather.

Perfect spot for a relaxing Spring Break. The house and view are beautiful. We enjoyed walking to the beach and hanging out in the backyard taking in the view. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking meals. Fun was had by the humans and the canine!

Heron’s Hideaway is a gem! Easy access to the beach, nice walking, fishing, biking, and kayaking. The house is well stocked with all you need for cooking including a nice gas grill. The dock is perfect for an afternoon of fishing and the deck a great place to enjoy a good book. We highly recommend this rental. Our pups loved it too!

Heron's Hideaway goes above and beyond as a vacation rental, it is clean and comfortable and Dawn and Tommy have thought of everything and more. We did not have enough time to take advantage of all that was offered, however, we did take advantage of the excellent birding from the property. Heron's Hideaway's location on the canal, next to the marsh, next to the ocean, and adjacent to stands of native vegetation provided us with 49 species of birds from the property! The fenced-in yard was perfect for our dogs, the many choices for outdoor seating was perfect for us, and even when the weather was challenging the views from inside were captivating. In the evenings we loved being on the comfortable couch, watching the huge TV and feeling the warmth from the gas log fireplace. The walk to the beach on the 31st St boardwalk over the marsh was exciting every time. We enjoyed Thai By the Sea and Bar-B-Que House for takeout meals, although we could have cooked anything given the well appointed kitchen and Publix was a short drive away for groceries. My favorite object in the house was the tide clock next to the sliding glass door, all the maritime gadgetry was fun. It will be difficult for future vacations to live up to Heron's Hideaway, we hope to return!

We had a wonderful time at Heron's Hideaway. The house is very clean and nicely furnished. We enjoyed fishing off the dock and sitting at the fire pit. We had dinner on the deck with a fire going and the string lights in the backyard turned on. It was a magical setting. The fully fenced in yard was perfect for our dogs and made our time at the house stress free. I would stay here again and highly recommend it.
