The cabin was quaint, the views were amazing. We had everything we needed if we wanted to cook in. The valentine chocolate was a very thoughtful surprise. The only thing I am sad about is having to go home.

Perfect location. Great views. Needs a couple of things added to furnishings, (coffee table and rugs)but not a big deal. Super comfortable. Could use a coat of outside paint, but that wouldn't stop me from staying there !

My wife and I loved the location and being able to literally walk 20 steps right to the bay side water. The sunset view was absolutely beautiful. Cannot think of anything else I could have done on this surprise trip for my wife to reign in a 30 year anniversary gift.

Herons Nest was absolutely amazing. From the cute home to right on the water we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! Area was very quiet you could hear the waves and conveniently located to anything and everything you would want to do.
