The house is really shabby, which you can't tell from the pictures. My family didn't even want to go in when we arrived. During our stay, some contractors came to stain the decks (which we were sitting on at the time). I asked the property management if these men were supposed to be there while we were occupying the house. They responded that it was the property owners' scheduling error and for the inconvenience, they wanted to offer us a credit for one night stay (at a future date). We thought that was a little insulting considering the experience made our stay very uncomfortable and awkward. And, no, we aren't taking the offer. We will stay somewhere nicer next time. The property was nice. We enjoyed the waterfront and beautiful view. And the private dock was amazing. But the house itself was uncomfortable and in bad shape. Also, if you book this property, make sure you check your invoices. The property management charged me several hundred dollars more than what I agreed to pay on vrbo. I contacted vrbo to get information as to why that had happened and they said there must have been an error, I should only have to pay what was agreed upon when booking the reservation online (which makes sense). I contacted the property manager about the discrepancy and they said they don't normally adjust their prices based on vrbo listings but they would do it for me once as a courtesy. WHAT?! We had a contract. You can't just raise the price after the agreement. It was strange.

The house is a bit rough around the edges, but comfortable. The upstairs bedroom is glorious. One of the bedrooms is facing the bay and is very pleasant. The other faces the road and gets full sun. It was over 85 in this room in November! Several broken appliances but plenty of utensils. Great place to have a relaxing stay.

We loved the house layout and the dock was great for fishing. Very easy location for getting around the island. It would be great to have some additional seating in the living room to accommodate a few more people. Look forward to seeing the upgrades for next year!

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: After years of neglect, the property finally got some repairs and upgrades. It is still rough around the edges and not worth the drastic $800 increase in weekly rent over the past two years. The property management promises “free early check-in” on the listing but with the check-in information states, “We cannot allow early access, even for grocery drop off, whiny kids & pets, etc.” Dishonest and passive-aggressive customer service is what they actually offer, apparently.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I loved my retreat at Grey Heron. The owners are making needed repairs but the screen doors don't slide and I fear for the roof which needs looking after. The setting is divine, and the house is spacious and comfortable. I asked for a vacuum cleaner and one arrived the same day. The toaster is very old and a toaster oven would be a major improvement. Otherwise, I loved everything and found the kitchen to be well stocked.
