Beautiful home!

Our family of 4 spent a week at the Blue Heron in February 2025. We are thrilled with the home and its location which is on the quieter side. The neighborhood was very pleasant, especially considering a number of residents were still dealing with the aftermath of the hurricane. From the Blue Heron, we would have never even known a storm occurred. The home is spacious, clean and well equipped with the necessary items. Further, the communications with the owner/manager was Outstanding. We intend on returning as soon as we can. Booking the home through Lane and Lynne was painless and simple. 5 stars from us.

Great place

This house is probably the 4th place we have stayed at in the area. Finding a house with ample parking is always an issue and there is plenty here. A lot of homes say that they sleep 10 people but only have room for 2 cars, not including boat trailers. The pool was fantastic after coming in off the water. We had a little trouble at check-in but smooth sailing otherwise. Would definitely recommend!

I am an avid motorcyclist. I also love boating and I enjoy visiting parks, both large and small, and find peace when I am outside enjoying nature.

Why they chose this property

The Blue Heron is an idyllic retreat, a sanctuary where one can truly immerse into nature's embrace. Having friendly neighbors adds to the sense of community and warmth, enhancing the overall experience of living there. Being able to dock your boat right in your backyard adds a delightful dimension, offering the freedom to set sail and explore the Gulf of Mexico whenever the mood strikes.

The privacy of the backyard provides a peaceful haven where one can unwind, bask in the sun, or seek refuge in the cooling shade, all while being serenaded by the gentle rustle of the salty breezes. It's wonderful to hear from my guests that the Blue Heron embodies not just a physical destination, but a state of mind—a place where relaxation permeates every aspect of life, inviting you to slow down, breathe deeply, and savor the simple joys of existence.






What makes this property unique

What makes my property unique is the essence of true relaxation and contentment—when the surroundings seamlessly merge with the tranquility of the mind, creating a harmonious sanctuary. The gentle rustle of the salty breezes, the warm embrace of the sun, and the soothing presence of nature all contribute to this blissful state. In such a place, time seems to slow down, allowing you to fully appreciate the beauty of the moment and the simple pleasures that life has to offer. The the Blue Heron is indeed a haven where one can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and reconnect with the peace and serenity of the natural world.
