Great family locatio?
The house is great for families and it is very medically accessible. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The only major issue we had is that the property is next to a marsh/tall grasses so there were a lot of flies.

Family Getaway
My three siblings and along with our families rented the Heron Harobour home for our first annual family getaway. The home was the perfect place for our stay as it provided ample space for our large group, a beautiful location on the water in a prime area of Ocean City, and great amenities. If we decide to return to Ocean City next year we are likely to rent this space again.

Family time
The owners were very communicative and easy to get in touch with. The house is spacious and spread out so everyone had their own space but plenty of room in the great room and kitchen to hang out together. The house is as pictured. Plenty of kitchen supplies to cook a big meal! Our family had a great time and will hopefully book again next year!

Wonderful Experience
Access to the house was easy and having a place to stay for wheel chair access made this the best experience for my entire group. The house fit all of our needs and we couldn’t have asked for a Better layout. Overall a great experience. We plan to use it again for future get togethers. Worth every dollar spent

Great Location and Property
Several of my brothers, sister-in-laws and our adult children traveled to Ocean City for a long weekend. We loved the spaciousness, layout and decor of the house. The location was fantastic. Far enough from the crowds but easy distance from the Ocean City bus stop, Wawa convenient store, grocery store and great restaurants. It was quite easy working with Brad and Judy. We'll be back!!

Great for a large group!
We enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and very spacious. Well stocked kitchen for cooking and the men enjoyed the dry bar in the living room for making cocktails. The kids had the upstairs to themselves and we didn’t even use the second living area space. The neighborhood was very quiet. Also huge plus having a brand new washer and dryer to clean your clothes before packing!

Nice house - Most of the rooms had their own bathrooms and that was a plus for the team. Old school rules with bring your own sheets and towels! Would have been challenging if we hadn't driven. We worked around the front door passcode not being remembered with an old fashioned key.

Great Ocean City house!
This home was perfect for our multi-generation family vacation with tons of space to relax, play, and connect. I loved the kitchen/dining/living room configuration to chat and watch the kids while prepping meals. The location was amazing too, with the house being in a quiet, more peaceful part of the city with gorgeous views, but also super close to everything we needed or wanted to do. Brad and Judy were quick in responding to messages and answered all of my questions. 100% would recommend. Thank you Brad and Judy for sharing your home with us!!
