In Fall 2019, facing a 2020 deployment and having just learned we were expecting, due Spring 2020, we decided The Blue Heron would sit out the 2020 rental season and that we would make it our residence for the year. Then the pandemic hit. With deployment ultimately delayed until early July, we welcomed a baby boy home to The Blue Heron in early April. The Blue Heron has proven to be much more of a haven during this challenging year than we could have possibly even imagined back in 2019.
As our stay here full time winds to an end, though bittersweet, we are happy to once again open our haven to guests for the 2021 rental season.
After closing in December 2017, we’ve renovated the kitchen, ground level, stairs, and both half baths, installed wood-look tile in the common areas, painted throughout, and refurnished most of the indoor and all of the outdoor spaces. We have also replaced the roof, both AC units, and the water heater. We truly enjoy updating and transforming this house at the beach into a home, for ourselves and for our guests.
Updates for the 2021 rental season include an outdoor ceiling fan for the top-level screened-in porch, to keep you cool on hot summer days, and a desk for the mid-level landing, in case you want to escape to the beach but can’t quite escape from work or school.
We also replaced all the blinds with new cordless ones and the bedrooms have new curtains, luggage racks, and smart TVs. In addition, a new washer and dryer and all new kitchen appliances are coming soon!
Bookings are coming in fast for Summer 2021. All available full weeks in June and August are booked and only two weeks are left in July–the weeks of July 4th and July 18th. Book now while you still can! We are also currently accepting reservations into September. Enjoy!
