Sheila was a wonderful host, the house was beautiful, and we loved the waterfront views. Everything we needed was right at our fingertips - delicious coffee, lovely furniture and dinner ware, and the whole house was sooooo tastefully decorated. It was like having our own resort in our former (before Hurricane Michael) neighborhood! We plan to return often!
Super home! Exceptionally clean and well stocked. Kayaks and dock were a huge hit with our kids. The master bedroom has a lovely office overlooking the water and a wonderful master bath. Will definitely stay again.
We had a wonderful stay at “Heron Bayou” The pictures only tell a one dimensional story. The main event is the water view with its ever changing form. Such a perfect setting to watch & listen to nature. Even had a dolphin visit. The location was quiet during our stay off season. The interior of the home has comfortable furniture, bedding & quality linens.The kitchen had everything needed to prepare & serve meals. There was an abundance of disposable supplies provided & cooking spices, oils etc. Host was available for initial questions & we knew we could feel comfortable contacting if there was any further need.
