Amazing
The property is hands down awesome!!! The location is perfect for walking to everything on the boardwalk. This home has ample space for 6 people and not feel crowded. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking if you plan to stay for a long trip. The two front patios have great views, and the master patio was great for sunsets! Will definitely rent again!!

First Extended Family Beach Vacation
My family and I had a very great time! It was our first time at a beach house and we plan to do it again! There were some issues with the bathroom shower door and it was addressed in a timely manner. All and all we enjoyed our time even though we had to cut our trip short because of tropical storm Debbie. The only suggestion I would make is to add blinds on the sliding glass doors and windows facing the beach for privacy at night.

Great place in a great location.
Several friends of mine stayed for a long weekend in late July. The condo is lovely and spacious. We enjoyed the outside decks, and the two parking spots were great. The location can't be beat - it's steps away from the beach and nightlife. I would stay here again.

Blue heron nest
This place was amazing! It was a very short walk to the beach and very spacious. I booked for 8 people and we were very comfortable. It was very clean and put together. There was plenty of room for everyone and all of our belongings. The hosts were amazing with communication and got back to me very quickly. I would definitely recommend this place. It was a 5/5 stay! The only thing I will say is we had to walk up all the stairs to get to the condo, not particularly bad for me and my group ( we were able to get in some exercise) but I would recommend double checking with hosts about the elevators for people who are handicapped.

Perfect place for our Family Vacation!
We just finished our stay at Blue Heron Nest and wish we could stay forever. Everything was just as described and there was plenty of room for our party of 8 adults ( 2 had to sleep on bunk beds, but they're 18, so no big deal). The location was perfect- very short walk to the beach and the pier. We only had to get in the care when we needed to go to Publix. Comfy beds. Huge house with ocean views. Super responsive owners/management. I really can't say enough good things.

Best Vacation
We came here as a getaway from DC and it was such a great break! The condo was really comfortable, well-appointed and so close to everything. We didn’t have to drive anywhere for an entire week. There was so much space, we never felt cramped, the kitchen had everything we needed. Every morning we were able to look out at the ocean from 2 balconies! We saw dolphins, pelicans and really disconnected from city life. Another fantastic benefit was that we were able to walk to so many great restaurants. We enjoyed Shuckin Shack for shrimp, Fat Ps for the beverages and Seaworthy was delicious all around. Next beach vacation we will definitely book Blue Heron Nest! I can’t say enough wonderful things about this property and location!

Wonderful Vacation
We love visiting Carolina Beach but this has been our favorite place we have rented. It is beautiful, great location, and well stocked. Everything went well for our stay, no issues. We enjoyed hanging out on the decks for coffee and sunset. The property was perfect for our family and we are already planning our return.

Great location. Shower issue.
The location of the property is wonderful; however, We were made aware the day before our arrival that there was a leak in the master bathroom and we would not be allowed to use the shower or tub in the master bath during our stay. We were told they would be in touch regarding compensation. Since there was 10 people in our group, this made showers difficult to manage during our stay. We waited patiently about compensation and was then told we had to wait until inspection was completed upon checkout. Checked back in 3 different times with them and was told it was being refunded and would take a few days to reflect. That was about two weeks ago and have not received anything or any prior responses. While I understand things happen, it is the principal of the issue that was not addressed properly and made some aspects of our stay not very enjoyable. The only other issue we had was that someone was in one of our allowed parking spots when we arrived for check in and we had no where else to park for a while until we were able to speak with another resident in the building that allowed us to use their spot. That was slightly inconvenient after 12 hours of driving. Overall, the rental was clean and perfect for families. Location to the beach was wonderful.

Carolina Beach Managed by iTrip
We recently stayed at a VRBO property managed by iTrip, and overall, it was a decent experience. The location was the highlight, with easy access to the beach and the boardwalk, making it a dream for beach lovers. However, the elevator was out of service during our stay, resulting in lots of stair climbing, which might be challenging for some guests. The broken dishwasher and loose shower door were also minor inconveniences. On a positive note, iTrip's communication was excellent, handled efficiently through text messages. The property itself seemed a bit tired, likely due to the end of the season, but the price we paid for the prime location made it a reasonable choice. It's not the best vacation rental, but it's certainly not the worst, offering good value for those who prioritize proximity to the beach.

Great getaway close to the boardwalk!
We had a great time! My only suggestion to the owners would be to fix the sliding shower door in the guest bathroom. It’s barely hanging on to the rail. Other than that zero issues. So quiet too with it being an entire floor! Be prepared for the trek since it’s at the very top. Also, the water from the faucets doesn’t smell the best. Not sure if there is anything you can do for that, but don’t be surprised. I think it’s just how it is in the area. 10/10 would stay again!

The Perfect Place
We just returned from our stay at the Blue Heron and after many trips to Carolina Beach and others alike this is the first place that we truly hated to leave. It checks all of the boxes: cleanliness (literally the first place we’ve ever stayed that we didn’t feel like we needed to re-clean ourselves after arrival), spacious size, comfort (beds and all seating), accessibility to all attractions and the beach (easy walk to everything), a great view of the ocean from the front two decks and of the town from the master bedroom. Not only that but the managing company- iTrips NC is most excellent to work with- not only are they a family run business but they are very accommodating, fast with communication, overly helpful, so kind and welcoming! It was truly the perfect stay!

Great Place
We had a great time at this property. It is rented through a separate entity, but they were very accommodating. This place was very nice on the inside, clean, and it's location is very convenient to many restaurants and beach access. Not a downside, but just a note. If you plan to drive a large SUV or truck, the parking spots for this place are pretty small.

We were very fortunate to have our family come to town and celebrate Thanksgiving!

The Blue Heron Nest penthouse was large and had a private elevator (small but adequate). I-trip was quick to respond to our questions. The carpets were stained in a few spots. It was a convenient spot to walk to the beach or head for ice cream at Squigglys.

Great location!
So convenient to both beach and boardwalk. The communication with property manager was great. Place was very clean and the decor was nice. The set up was ideal for large family and pretty spacious. Plenty of room to spread out in dining and living area. The decks were great for hanging out on. Elevator was a lifesaver. The stairs to the third floor are rough but worth it for the views from the deck.
