Best vacation

This house is as advertised and more. We stayed a week and never had to leave the house. The whole family stayed entertained. Our groups age ranged from 8 to 60 and everyone had a blast. Check in and out was stress free. Hands down the best vacation we have had.

Honest Review Of Herons Watch

The place needs a lot of TLC. If the homeowners knew exactly how this place is being managed, they would, or I'd hope, would be very upset.

Relaxing lakefront getaway

My family loved our time at Heron's Watch - it was the perfect place to relax and recharge. The private dock was fantastic and gave us easy access to the lake, and the outdoor spaces and screened in porch were beautiful! The listing was very much as advertised and the pictures online are accurate. There were lots of thoughtful touches and the house has lots of games and fun things to do. The waterslide into the lake was a huge hit with our kids, and we all enjoyed having access to the kayaks. We brought our own paddleboards and tubes, which were also really nice to have, and we brought fishing rods and enjoyed catch and release off the dock. We would highly recommend this listing and would definitely return!

Heron's Watch made our vacation perfect!

Heron's Watch is a perfect place for a big group to enjoy Lake Anna. The house has everything you could possibly need, including crib and changing table for the little ones (though we didn't need those), and a basket of dog toys for your pup! The kitchen is outfitted with every appliance and cooking utensil you could possibly need and our teenagers had a blast with the foosball and ping pong tables in the game room. There are even TONS of puzzles provided for us vacation puzzlers. The dock is great for fishing, relaxing, kayaking (3 kayaks provided) and a slide! And the screened in porch is perfect for relaxing or dining. We also loved the hot tub after a long day of tubing and wakeboarding. The house is very clean and everything in great working order. The house is located in the no-wake zone of a quiet cove so it's safe to swim right off the dock and the area is very peaceful. Our entire group agreed that Heron's Watch made our vacation easy and relaxing. Communication with Vacasa was also very easy during out stay. There were a couple times we just had quick questions and the Vacasa staff got back to us immediately by text with answers. We would definitely go back to Heron's Watch!

Inside of the home was clean. Plenty of room for our family. Lots of games, puzzles etc to do inside. Lake access and boat dock was a short walk from the house. Boat dock was covered with spider webs upon arrival, umbrellas that were there for shade are cheap ( slight breeze will close them up). On the back deck of the home, the Traeger Blackstone would not light. Plugged it in, changed propane tank, still nothing. Regular propane grill on the back deck after hooking up new propane tank and turning on all burners, would not even reach 300 degrees with lid closed. The back deck furniture was not usable due to the overflow of debris from the gutters when it rains ( gutters need cleaned out bad). Windows on the back deck were covered in spider webs and filth. Doesn't look like the outside of the house windows and frames have been cleaned in a very long time. The big cooling mist fan on the back deck does not work as well. The plug to hold the water in for the mist is missing, so only the fan itself will work.
