Guest Reviews

• Trish (9/5): -
• Indhira (10/5): In love with this! - It was absolutely breathtaking. Very peaceful : not noisy at all. Even the poolside music was chill. The views were stunning. Very convenient location. Loved that the amenities were available until 11pm.
• Ibai (9/5): -
• Emmanuel (10/5): - Very clean room and nice pool, is a perfect resort easy location of disney and sea word ,epcot, universal ,island of adventure very nice i like this resort
• Gustavo (10/5): Ótima opção para Orlando. - Boa localização, perto dos parques da Disney. Atendimento muito bom do anfitrião. Piscina boa também. Foi uma ótima estadia para mim e minha família.
• Jeremy (10/5): - large clean rooms, beautiful pool and walk ways, Dunkin and Mini Golf right out front. Neighbors properties are not as well kept.
• Jason (4/5): - Although we have enjoyed staying at the Blue Heron Resort for many years. (This most recent stay would be our 11th), unfortunately the unit that we were in this stay had some issues. The Vacasa rep was very responsive to our concerns and showed up in person to assist which was appreciated. They did offer some alternative options within the property, but we decided to check-out early and move to a new location since it was our 25th Anniversary trip. Even though, this unit did not meet our expectations, we have had 10 previous years where we absolutely enjoyed staying at the Blue Heron so we assume this was just a one-off fluke.
• Donna (10/5): - Everything looks just like in the picture. It was close to the parks and restaurants. I would definitely stay here again
• DANIEL (8/5): - would be a 5 star experience, but the property advertised as “sleeps 6”, and the pull-out sofa bed was
• Cyril Joseph (2/5): - Sheets had blood stains on them,not happy.
• Marilei (1/5): Sujo, roupa de cama suja, usada, banheiro com cabelo. precisa de uma bela limpeza PROFISSIONAL - tamanho do apto sujeira
• Janet (10/5): - I. Loved to stay
• Nina (10/5): - The stay was great. The only issue is that the front desk did not have our reservation when we got there. They had to call the booking agent, who gave them the wrong dates, which caused another delay at check out.
• Jennifer (10/5): Great place! - Great place to stay! Very clean and beautiful views!
• Terence (10/5): - Property was clean
• Heather (2/5): - This place is very dirty. Cobwebs and dust on everything. A dirty towel on the floor right when we walk in. Another dirty towel laying on a bed. Dirty sheets just balled up in the closet. A glass pane with 90degree corners was on a shelf in the closet and hanging off the shelf about 5 inches where you would use the hangers to hang clothes. Right at head level. Almost had to go to the hospital because my head hit it. Handle broken off to a bedroom. Faux drawers or cabinet doors fell off in the kitchen. Night stands with the draw bottoms falling off or barely on so those are unusable. They don’t spray for spiders and after I counted over 50 as soon as the sun went down I ran in and locked the doors and that was just one balcony. They have two and each is just as bad. Even the ones by the elevators. These are huge spiders. Not little ones at all. The pool was digusting . Trash in it and people weave allover. And the worst part is a maintenance worker sprayed me and my brother and my car with some kind of chemical. I still don’t know what it was but it was burning my skin. We had to wipe down the car and get a car wash and both take showers right away. The man didn’t speak English to tell me what chemical it was. I have pictures for all this but this review didn’t ask for photos. Also the hotel did nothing at all to accommodate things that were wrong. There was many more things but these were the top complaints.
• Mballic (8/5): -
• SUDHIR (6/5): - The only good thing about the property is that its within 15 mins drive from Disney and has stores around it. The presentation is very good but the property is not clean, the carpets are very dirty and I used 2 properties and both had issues in washroom , cleanliness issue and kitchen amenties issue. Even if you complain about something, you will receive an automated message but no actual action, i stayed with flooded bathtub for 3 days.
• Brenda (8/5): - The condo that we stayed in was clean but had NO cookware. Unit had two pots and no frying pan. We’ve stayed there several times before but this was first time we encountered not having cookware. Also didn’t have any towels for the pool.
• Kristin (8/5): - We were there for a girl’s national volleyball tournament. The hotel is apx. 20 mins from the Orange County Convention Center. The team stayed at this hotel so it was fun to meet at the pool. The rooms are large and comfortable and it was nice to have the bunk beds in the hall of the unit. We had a great view from our room in Tower 2, unit 601. It needs some fixes. The patio out of the bedroom doesn’t lock, the clock on the living room is broken. The sink and tub drains super slowly in the bathroom of the bedroom with the patio. The DVD remote is missing a battery, and there are several hot iron imprints in the carpet in the bedroom with the patio. We enjoyed our stay as the size of the unit was great, it was comfortable, and a great location.
• Josie (10/5): - We had an absolutely amazing time at this condotel. Everything was spotless, beautifully designed, and thoughtfully equipped - it truly felt like a home away from home. The location was perfect with an amazing view, it exceeded our expectations. We’ll definitely be coming back!
• Valerie (9/5): -
• Igor (4/5): - Aggressively below average property. Bedroom carpet has an awful, strange smell. Roaches appeared every so often. Unit had a busted garbage disposal on day one. One of the bathroom doors were off one of the hinges and did not close properly. Mattresses were mediocre. Curtains and decorations are very tired and old. TVs are hilariously old, there is even an actual DVD player… Long story short, you’re “saving money” on a place like this for a reason. You’re better off somewhere (anywhere) else. Don’t bring your family here. The only silver lining was checking out at the end of the trip.
• Teresa (9/5): Home away from home - This was a nice resort! It had everything we needed for our stay. Home away from Home😊
• Simon (10/5): - Unit was clean and stocked with what we needed for our week long stay. Pool, lake, and proximity to OCCC made this a great place.
• Melissa (10/5): - Hidden gem! Traffic is a bummer but worth it for the space. We will be back for sure!
• Mika (10/5): Exceptional -
• Diane (10/5): - Great
• NATHANIEL (8/5): - Loved the proximity to wdw
• Douglas A (4/5): Poor air conditioning - We emailed the Vacasa because the air con was not flowing in our bedroom and at night it was extremely hot they did respond to the email but it appeared that nothing was done to alleviate our suffering at night
• Beth (10/5): - The safe is amazing .......Abbey is so sweet and took care of us with an issue with had with the owner
• Christopher (10/5): Great stay - Great stay in a great location. Apartment a little tired but came with all mod cons and we would stay again
• Christina (8/5): Had a wonderful time felt very cozy and clean - Felt like home Was not able to use hot tub at the pool .Was too crowded every evening with same crowd for hours
• Joseph (4/5): OUTDATED condo with ants. - These are privately owned units that the owner (host) rents out. Our unit was extremely old/outdated. TV in bedroom didn’t work at all and I had to program the whopping 32 inch outdated TV in the living room myself in order to watch. Wood laminate on nightstands in bedrooms was completely missing in spots. Patio furniture was broken and a lone dead plant greeted us on the balcony. ANTS in bathroom and kitchen. Food wrapped on counter covered in ants the following morning when we woke up. The condo itself did have a beautiful view of small lake. Pool was very clean. Im sure other units in these buildings are beautiful. The owner of ours obviously hasn’t invested a dime in years and should not be allowed on Hotels.com.
• Yuki (10/5): Perfect rental for family of 4 in Spring break - We really appreciate that it has 2 full bathrooms and washer and dryer. The unit was clean and beautiful. The location was great. The sunrise from the balcony was incredible!! If anything, Teflon like pots and pans in the kitchen could be updated.
• Katie (10/5): - The hot tub is hot. The neighbors are quite, people here are amazing
• Jackie (10/5): Everything was perfect. Decor was great and loved the added touches of coffee and bath amenities. View was stunning. - Nothing
• Kim (4/5): - Jacuzzi tub didn't work. Two tv's and neither remote worked for either tv. Refrigerator was battered and rusty and felt very hot. Dryer would require 2 or 3 cycles to dry clothes. Very dated. We won't be back.
• Charles (2/5): - Roaches in the kitchen
• Laurie (6/5): - Outside pool bar
• Amber (8/5): - Everything was great, EXCEPT the place had a terrible chemical smell..... almost as if they had sprayed our room for bugs before we got there? I'm not sure but the smell was horrid....
• Karen (10/5): - Blue Heron is a very nice place to stay -- convenient location, condo is always nice and well equiped. Nice view in either direction -- over the lake or seeing the EPCOT fireworks at night.
• Lianny (10/5): Exceptional -
• Md (8/5): - The property needs a good upgradation. Roaches and Ants in the kitchen. The toilets were not cleaned properly. Not enough toiletries were supplied for a week of stay. The washer and dryer were dirty. Please take these all under consideration before booking this condo. Otherwise, it's a great place to stay. Awesome front view, some good fast food and restaurants are within walking distance. 15 to 20 minutes drive to Disney World and Universal Studio.
• Karachalia (10/5): Super nice apartment!! - This apartment has everything you could want - it’s fully equipped (really liked the makeup towels provided and the body cream), clean, and in a great location (20- 30 minutes from universal studios, Disney springs super close). The view is amazing, and it’s a steal for the price. I’ll definitely be back!
• Joe (10/5): - Didn’t disappoint it was clean and best location. All around great.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Great Location! - Great location to all area attractions! Property is a little outdated and had some issues with the elevators. But, staff was very helpful and attentive.
• Denise (8/5): - Overall great place to stay. Would like to see furniture and TVs updated.
• Christine (8/5): Comfortable and convenient - The location was convenient and the apartment was very clean and comfortable. Not too much at all. The main mattress was probably a bit bouncy for my taste but the bed was lovely and big.
• Mike (4/5): - We stayed on the 3rd floor and one of the owners of a condo on the 3rd floor lives on the property, plays his TV at full volume and the stench from their condo is like something has died in the condo. We talked with the front desk and they said there is nothing they could do because the owner is the problem!!! Never will stay on this property again.
• Chantel (6/5): - Loved how close this property was to everything . Could use some updates in the apartments themselves but the resort was clean and staff were friendly
• Michael (6/5): - We stayed for 7 nights in a one bedroom apartment. Unfortunately the apartment was very "tired" Handle was broken off the fridge. We had to wedge a piece of cardboard into the main door to stop it rattling in the wind. The TV remote didn't work properly and the bug guard on the balcony door was broken. Also the cooker had rust at the bottom and several areas were dirty. It's such a shame as the location and view over the lake are excellent. The apartment clearly needs a lot of money spending on it to bring up to an acceptable standard.
• Victor (10/5): - Great place to stay at very clean spaces. Only thing is I wish the toaster and the coffee maker worked besides that I have no complaints. Definitely will stay again.
• Renata (10/5): Exceptional -
• julian (10/5): - Perfect location. Close to all attractions
• Bridget (8/5): Very good - Spacious rooms with private bathrooms, full kitchen, balcony, and washer/dryer No housekeeping. I had to clean myself on vacation.
• Katelyn (8/5): - We love the location of the property. We have been coming back to Blue Heron every summer for the past nine years!
• Erin (4/5): - Roaches in the kitchen area,the faucet handle in the master bathroom is loose. The door knob in the master bathroom has a screw hanging out of it. At check-in, the lady told us that we could call and see if our room was available an hour later so we called an hour later. The woman was very rude on the phone and said absolutely not. You have to wait till check in at four. She could’ve handled it differently, it was the first and only time we will ever stay here. We did like the location of it being close to everything and we enjoyed the pool and Lakeview
• Rocio (8/5): - The rooms need updating, but very clean.
• Alison (10/5): Loved it! Beautiful property, lots of extras like toiletries, so comfortable and lovely communication from the host. - Quality of the furniture & appliances. Also the cleanliness was excellent. Not applicable
• David (10/5): - great place
• Lisa (10/5): We will stay here again. - Spectacular views of Epcot which included their nightly firework show. Lots of room and comfortable beds. Downside Non working coffee maker and the washer dryer was on its last legs. No real response to reports of these minor problems.
• Pranay (10/5): Well presented accomodation with excellent amenities - Excellent location, well presented accomodation with all amenities, very spacious, amazing pool and view, convenient parking. Overall, it was a great stay. This is also a very short distance from Epcot and not far from Disney World.
• Rodney (6/5): Unfortunately not what it used to be. - Have previously stayed here on two occassions pre Covid. Property has certainly disimproved. A lot of the furniture was shabby and requires replacement. The property was not clean and suitable for guests. Cockroaches found in bedroom and bathroom.
• Nicholas (8/5): - Great location and view.
• Melissa (8/5): - Great location, but room was quite outdated.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Perfect place the furniture could use updating - Place was amazing, beautiful view nice staff pool was awesome. Inly downfall was furniture could use some updating and we seen a few bugs un the room other than that absolutely perfect place for a family.
• Laurie (10/5): Perfect place minus the furniture could use some updating - Place was amazing, beautiful view nice staff pool was awesome. Inly downfall was furniture could use some updating and we seen a few bugs un the room other than that absolutely perfect place for a family
• Andrew (10/5): - Love this place will definitely be back
• William (10/5): - The location is great, centralized between disney world, universal, and other attractions in the area. Friendly staff, and easy to get to off the highway.
• Maria (10/5): - Property had beautiful views with the ocean in the back .
• Angel Luis (10/5): - Was Nice place thanks
• David (10/5): - A good stay, had all the basics. Pool and hot tub were great. Lovely (sunrise) view over the small lake. Short drive to Disney. Only complaint was that the shower water never got above lukewarm temp, and some of us like a hot shower. Overall I highly recommend.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - it was dirty in the room but the housekeeping came in and addressed it and made it right!! we always stay here when we come to florida and we love it! we did check out early because the bed was hurting our backs so the beds could def use some upgrading but for the price I really can’t complain. That won’t stop me from going back! we love our blue heron stays regardless!!!!!! it makes u feel like ur home!!!
• Verified traveler (4/5): BH - Unit is a strong mold smell that we could not get rid of. The floors were filthy and would turn your feet black. Door and window tracks had years of mold and dirt in them.
• Mary (8/5): Repeat occupant and will come back again. - This was our 2nd visit to Blue Heron and it didn't disappoint. Great location. Suggestions: Update the chipped furniture. Put blinds or shade the windows in the fitness room. The sun is blinding in the morning.
• Laura Lea (6/5): - This property is in need of some updating. The check in process didn't work. I was sent an email to fill our registration ahead of time, but the link did not work. Our room needs some updating as well as better cleaning. There were leftover socks as well as a spoon under the master bed. The comforter for the sofa bed was stained and unusable. The drain in the second bath was very slow.
• Jennifer (6/5): It’s OK - The first room had bugs and was not clean. The hotel switched the room, where we also found crumbs and cereal that wasn’t from us. Was glad they moved the room. Was a little disappointed in cleanliness. The porch also had broken seats so that was a bummer.
• mehmet (10/5): - Everything was fine,except that they have stopped service to the studios.
• Graham (4/5): - Closest I’ve ever been to leaving a reservation. Dirty room, mechanical room left open and it was disgusting, lots of water damage, couldn’t get simple toiletries after 3pm (after a day at the parks), very out of date. Stayed here 8yrs ago but this is not the same place. Unfortunately this will be our last time at this resort.
• Cyndie (6/5): - Communication was null. Nothing. No helpful tips ot direction
• Janet (10/5): - Was a nice place to stay. Near to Disney's park
• Kathryn (10/5): - Great location for Disney, Spacious, well equipped and clean apartment. Bunk beds made it a perfect family apartment - better than all sharing one room! Lovely pool area overlooking the lake. Thanks
• Teresa (8/5): - We have stayed at the Blue Heron every year for our Disney trips for the last 5 years. We love the location and area. They always provide shuttles to the parks; however, upon arriving this time, they said they no longer had a shuttle as of 1 month ago. Just know that although it says they have a shuttle, they currently do not so plan accordingly. Otherwise, we love Blue Heron and their awesome pools/hot tub/tiki bar/location. :-)
• Tomika (10/5): - The stay was nice and check in & out was easy.
• Caroline (10/5): - We like the property for what it has to offer..We enjoy being near the lake and the walkway and opportunity to sit out there and enjoy it.We enjoy the balconies that come with the rental.Also nice to sit out and enjoy the views.The outside property well maintained.Great large and small pools and plenty area to sit out..Also outside bar if interested.The inside is comfortable.Bit dated but have no problem with it. you can bring family there for reasonable price..Near many restaurants and stores and maybe 10 min to Disney Springs.Thats a plus.So close to Disney.We enjoy staying there.Look forward to next visit.
• Cheryl (6/5): - Our room was very rundown and very dirty. I had to clean the whole place before we settled in.
• Verified traveler (8/5): B+ -- Suited our Needs - We loved the set-up with the hotel! It felt like we were in a home, not necessarily a hotel room. The kitchen was decently stocked, but missing a larger frying pan and salt/pepper, which made it a bit difficult to use as a fully functioning kitchen. There was some dust on the dressers, night stands, end-tables, but other than that it overall was clean. The pool was a very pleasant temperature & the hot tub was a perfect temperature. There were plenty of chairs poolside to use for relaxation. In spite of the few hiccups, we would stay there again & recommend people trying this place out.
• Juliane (10/5): - Property sent text messages to check in with us. Condo had everything we needed. Mattress in the bunk beds could use an upgrade, otherwise great place.
• Martin (6/5): - The hotel was nice, However the unit we stayed in needed some attention. The bedroom carpet was dirty. There was a mystery wet spot on carpet that did not dry up for the 2 days we were there. Floors were so dirty that our feet turned brown when walking bare foot.There was long hairs left in the toilet and tub. There was mold on the bottom of the curtains in living room. There was a mystery brown spot on the master bedroom toilet near handle. The TV in bedroom is very small. Security chain on exit door is falling off. We did not sleep well because the master bathroom toilet flapper was not sealing property which caused the toilet to run water about every 20 minutes.
• Richard (10/5): - Clean and convenient location. Nice pool! Great view for sunrise. Close to the parks.
• Marta (8/5): - Nice, quiet property with beautiful view of nature. Apartments need renovation and new furniture.
• crystal (6/5): - Dirty and cockroaches. We had to clean ourselves
• H Haden (8/5): - It was a unique experience. I wasn't sure what I was going to get or how it would work since it wasn't your standard hotel room, so that was a cause for some anxiety, but that was mostly on me. I was very happy with what we got for the cost. It was as advertised and there were no surprises (which I am very grateful for). I would recommend this place to a friend or book it again if I could guarantee I'd get the room we were assigned.
• Julia (8/5): - The furniture in the unit was pretty shabby. The layout was great with two full baths, a kitchen, living and dining area. Streaming services on the tv would have been nice. The apartment could use a coat of paint, especially baseboards and door frames.
• Amanda Rae (6/5): - The property itself was nice, clean, and quiet, but when it comes to requesting extra toiletries it took them two days because they stated that they were short staffed.
• james (8/5): Family trip to Disneyland - We waited for our room from 1030am -345 until we had to call and ask what is going . They never communicated we us . They are not at the property, they work from another property.
• Anthony (10/5): - Good to stay in
• Hilda (10/5): - love it already booked this place again !
• Verified traveler (8/5): Orlando Getaway - Wonderful stay as usual!
