vacation rental description

Heron Now is a comfortable bayfront home located on St George
Island overlooking Apalachicola Bay. The large deck offers seabreezes and a private panoramic overlook of the bay and estuarine reserve. You have the same view from inside the house and even from the updated kitchen.


Heron Now has the best of both vacation worlds: the gulf coast
beaches and the beautiful bayside marsh. The spacious nationally ranked gulf
coast beach is only 1.5 blocks away via easy public access. There you can swim in the waves, fish the surf, or lounge among sand castles. Heron Now adjoins the bayside world of the Apalachicola National Estuarine Reserve which provides one mile of undeveloped bayshore waterfront to explore by foot or boat. The
Reserve is part of the Great Florida Birding Trail. Bring your canoes and kayaks(or rent locally) because there is bay access. Bring your fishing gear because the bay is full of sea trout, redfish, and mullet. Bring your camera and binoculars because every hike or paddle will bring a new discovery.

A Nature Lover's Haven

NancyRV (Lake Park, GA)
Review submitted: May 3, 2013   Date of arrival: April 13, 2013

My family had the best vacation ever at Heron Now--so glad we decided to stay two weeks--one would not be enough! The bay view is so magnificent that even on a rare rainy day, we enjoyed it--my artist sister-in-law painted the view repeatedly. The photos of the home are spot on--it is a lovely, comfortable, clean home. The deck is wonderful and we sat out there often during the day. The beach is only two blocks away so we enjoyed long walks and shell collecting. My brother and grandsons swam in the cold surf. We brought our kayaks and paddled in the bay several times. We brought our cameras and captured numerous nature scenes, including close-ups of many bird species. We took advantage of the binoculars, nature reference books, jigsaw puzzles, that were there. The kitchen is a bit small when there are three competing cooks! The bedroom view from the loft was as spectacular as from the living room. We experienced a loose dial that broke from the stove and could not turn off the burner, but a maintenance person responded within minutes for repair. We were fortunate to be one of the few cars of the day to be admitted to the eastern-most portion of the nature preserve--beautiful! We also went to the free estuary museum and recommend that also. All in all, it was the best vacation ever and we recommend this rental highly--we'd like to return every year!

We loved our stay at Heron Now. After exploring the Island we decided our location was excellent, one of the best. Convenient access to beach and the bayside view. Great getaway!! We especially appreciated the library and learnt a lot about nature on the gulf. It would be our first choice to stay if we return.

Great Location: Great Price

Review submitted: February 15, 2013   Date of arrival: August 1, 2011

Heron Now was just perfect for us. The house is not luxurious, but it suits us just fine. The location is ideal for the price, with beautiful views of the marsh pond and bay off the back. The beach is as close as touted...an easy walk. We rented a kayak for the week. It was very hot off of the beach. We plan to return in the spring with cooler weather to explore the St. George Island State Park inland trails, and kayak the smaller coves and bays.
