I have known the Blue Heron for many years. I knew it was an older motel. Our room was very clean, The water was so nice and soft. No noise, no disturbances. Ice machine was well accessible. I had reserved a King bed/room and they took my reservation. When we got there, we were told that all of the king rooms/beds were being worked on. Wife asked about a Queen. No, we don't have any. So we went from a King to a double with no apology, refund or anything. We were the 1st to check in that day. I know it was winter time at the beach but they should have told me they had no king rooms available and let me make other arrangements. They should have marked these rooms off as not available when you reserved them. That overrode any good things that I received from them.

The property it self is a bit run down. That being said all the rooms are ocean front and the sound of the waves at night out you right to sleep. I have 2 wants for this property. Black out shades for the front doors and to have them use non toxic cleaning products and detergents for the linens. The fragrance from the bedding made it hard for me to get to sleep.

I was really surprised when I rented a room here. I had a late appt and didnt want to drive at night. The room was so clean to me , spacious and had a kitchenette !! The king size bed was nice and neat with crisp sheets and pillow cases I would like to stay here during the Summer one day because there is privacy on the porch with a double high chair A heavy one !. The mattress was perfect for me . They spared no expense on it. I need to find out that brand because I want one just not as big.. I was very pleased and hope I will be able to stay there again in the future for a few days .

Already recommended The Blue Heron to others
We have family in the area that we were there to visit them. This was our first time at the Blue Heron and we were very pleased with everything to do with our stay. Our dog was with us and they accommodated us with a first floor room in order to make it easier to take our dog in and out. Our room was clean with access to the parking lot and the beach. We plan to stay here everytime we come to OBX.
