    Awesome stay!

    My friend and I stayed two nights with our three dogs-- could not have asked for a better location, clean comfortable cottages and such an incredibly nice, dog friendly courtyard. The people and pets staying in the other cottages were all very friendly and the dogs played well together. Only a mile to fabulous Dog Beach, lots of yummy local food choices and easy walk to Sunset Cliffs. Dogs, dogs everywhere!!

    Wonderful Vacation

    We stayed for four nights at the Blue Heron. It was very clean, nice people and Charlie our host was very helpful. Our two dogs loved playing in the courtyard. The cottage was cute and had a nice kitchen with a dishwasher. Glad to have a dedicated parking space. We were walking distance to Dog Beach, lots of restaurants and other Ocean Beach activities.

    Amazing in everyway

    We had an amazing stay and will be back. This place has perfect ratings on all sites and we now know why. The cottages are so clean and very well kept. The area is extremely pet family. The whole cottage area is fenced in so dogs can run free. There are many dogs but the cleanliness of this place is incredible. The dog beach is 2 mins away and all major attractions within 10 minutes. Perfect location, perfect staff and the perfect location to travel with your pets. The only downfall of our trip was we didnt stay long enough. All the conveniences of home.

    We'll be back!!!

    This is not a place that just tolerates dogs, this is a place designed to make both dogs and their people happy, comfortable and welcomed. The rooms were immaculate and grounds were well kept and great for playful pups. Charlie and Samantha were wonderful. They made sure we were well taken care of as well bonding with both of our dogs, even our shy puppy. We highly recommend the Blue Heron Cottages to anyone traveling with a dog.
