Herons View
My family and I had a wonderful time at Herons View. The townhome was spacious, decorated nicely, and well located. We were able to easily visit Rehoboth Beach with its huge outlets, Ocean City, as well as the wonderful local shops and restaurants in Fenwick Island. After spending the day shopping, walking on the beaches and boardwalk, and eating wonderful seafood, it was very nice to return to the townhome and watch the geese and ducks on the water from the relative privacy of the sunroom. Unlike most of the other condos and townhomes in the area, Herons View afforded some measure of privacy with more mature trees and peaceful views of the water. Since returning, I have recommended Herons View to numerous friends, acquaintances, and family members. The Luftmans were extremely courteous and conscientious property owners. Not only did they provide an accurate description of their townhome, they provided numerous brochures and information on local activities and sites. They even went so far as to provide a binder of menus from most if not all of the restaurants in the area. I highly recommend Herons View. Thank you, Pat for permitting us to stay in your townhome.

Columbus Day Weekend @ Heron's View
We loved our stay at Herons View! Our son was in a soccer tourney nearby and the location was perfect - just minutes from both the tournament and the beach. It was so nice to stay a few nights here instead of crammed into a hotel along Ocean Hwy. The 2BR home was as nice as the reviews suggested. Good size bedrooms, kitchen and family room. The community is nice and looks like a great location for an in-season beach trip. Looking forward to returning!

Great Girls' Getaway!
I sat on the porch with my coffee, watching the heron, the ducks and the geese land and take off on the lake. This is a beautiful way to spend a relaxing long weekend or longer with family, friends or just by yourself. Close to shopping, restaurants, beaches and more. Clean and comfortable, I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a carefree getaway.

Perfect Get Away!
We are repeat visitors at Heron's View. The property is so well kept and relaxing atmosphere. We would be there every weekend if we could. The lake is so beautiful and the birds are amazing to just sit and watch. We love the peace and quiet that surrounds you there, The neighborhood cafe is great for a home cooked meal and friendly atmosphere. So close to the beach and all that goes with that. You really can not find a nicer more affordable get away. We love it!!!

Charming Beach Community
This beach house is very cute, and well decorated to fit the theme of "Heron's View". The house is large and comfortable, and it is inside a very nice community where you can go and swim at one of two pools, play tennis, shuffleboard, and basketball! The view in the morning is wonderful as you sit outside and enjoy the view of the lake, the ducks, the birds, and the magnificent heron (that is when he/she decides to come over). My overall trip was quite enjoyable because of the lovely environment, wonderful beaches, and a fantastic place to stay.

Loved it..AGAIN!
This was our 3rd season at Heron's View! We absolutely love it. It's our "home" at the beach. The property is very clean and well maintained. We enjoy the view of the lake and wildlife. This year a group of ducks and geese walked right up to the sun room! We went to the pool one day (clean & well maintained, too!). Since we love the beach, we appreciate the close proximity of Heron's View to Fenwick Island State Park. There are plenty of choices for mini golf on Coastal Highway. Check out Harpoon Hannahs for a great meal and don't forget Dumser's for ice cream! I absolutely would recommend Heron's View to family and friends : )

Mini-week getaway
A perfect place for a Beach and sightseeing getaway. Close to everything. we went to Assateague Island, Ocean City Boardwalk, Bethany Beach, Dewey and Rehobeth Beach. My wife and I spent 4 days, 3 nights here. Very tranquil, and quiet. Your place was nicely furnished and immaculate. Coffee every morning in the sun foom, and dont forget fresh steamed crabs from the local fish market 2 minutes away and Harpoon Hannas. Thanks Pat and Henry.
