This is an older motel but very well taken care of. It’s right on the beach (get the 3rd floor for a view from the balcony due to the dunes), the grounds are very well taken care of and the staff is amazing. There is an indoor pool and hot tub, as well as 2 outdoor pools, all very clean. There is no elevator but there is a motorized cart that will take your stuff to the top floor and back. We will definitely be coming back

Clean, budget and family friendly.
Blue Heron is perfect for a budget-friendly family vacation. It has the amazing beach access as well as indoor/outdoor pool. My family has stayed there several times now and its everything we need. It is not super modern and updated but very clean and convenient. We will continue staying here!

Economy Room
When my family and I arrived we were all greated the man at the desk came outside showed me where the room was and also said hi to the family. He was very accommodating! We have no complaints. AC was cold, bed was comfy there were planty of towels, rags, soap, shampoo/conditioner, nice size mini fridge, microwave worked great, and noone knocking to clean while your there. Also returning visitors get a 20% off coupon on their next stay. (The coupon is on the back of the tag) We were also very close to the ocean, which was nice for the price we paid. We did not expect to get oceanside.

Great beachy stay
My daughter and I (and her dog) stayed two nights at the Blue Heron Motel. If you expecting five star motel experience, this is not the place for you. But, if you are budget conscious and want to stay right on the beach, you’ll have a very nice stay here. The rooms themselves have been updated, but the bathrooms are from the 1960’s. The motel manager was very friendly and the rooms were pretty clean. We stayed in room 17 in the north building. It’s probably one of the best rooms on the property as it is on the third floor (there’s no elevator) and directly above the boardwalk to the beach. We had an unobstructed view of the ocean from our window and balcony (which had nice tall Adirondack chairs.) I was amazed by how close we were to the ocean and this section of beach was not very crowded. The motel is a short drive to some very nice restaurants and we were able to walk to do some souvenir shopping. We throughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again.
