About this property

Heron Now is a comfortable bayfront home located on beautiful Apalachicola Bay, St. George Island, Florida.

The large deck offers sea breezes and a private, panoramic overlook of the bay and estuarine reserve. You have the same view from inside the house and even from the kitchen.

Heron Now has the best of both vacation worlds: the gulf coast beaches and the beautiful bayside marsh. The spacious 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 the 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. 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.

Amenities:: -two queens, two twins
-TV with cable and dvd
- well stocked kitchen
-washer/dryer
-binoculars
-extensive library of birding, plant, shell, reptile, and fish guides and other naturalist topics

Activities:: George Island is a world class birding, naturalist, and fishing
destination. Experience it from the deck of Heron Now, or walk the adjoining
reserve or nearby beach, or use Heron Now as base for eco-adventures to
nearby natural features such as St George Island State Park, St. Vincent
National Wildlife Refuge, and Apalachicola National Forest.
The nearby town of Apalachicola is a Victorian fishing port which offers
upscale restaurants and walking tours of its Victorian houses. The town and
the surrounding area are featured in two National Geographic books: Guide
to Small Town Escapes and America's Hidden Corners.

Great memories made!

We loved our stay at Heron Now! Our twin boys had so much fun watching for birds and wildlife on the back porch and exploring the bay. It was perfect for our family of four and very well stocked. A king bed and some minor superficial updates would be nice, but for the price, location & memories it was all worth it! We look forward to staying again!

Great view

The view was out of this world. We sat on the deck in the rocking chairs every evening and enjoyed the sunsets. The house was clean and had all the kitchen accessories that we needed. Could use a few more lights on the front porch and stairs as I took a tumble in the dark. Owner was very quick with a response. Would love to stay there again.

Perfect location!

Heron Now was a dream location for our weeklong vacation. There is a public beach access directly across from the house, 1.5 blocks, and it was super easy to navigate anywhere you needed to be on the island. The house is well appointed and had everything we needed during our stay. Our group enjoyed the bay views from the comfort of the living room, and we were amazed at the amount of natural light we got each day. Bonus, we watched the meteor shower from the spacious deck! We definitely want to stay here again.

Heron Now was a pleasant stay.

Everything we needed was provided. Beds were very comfortable which is very important for our old backs! View of the bay was great! The trip to put our kayaks in however was more of an effort than we anticipated. The stairs were hard on my knees so next time i will have to look ground level. Hate it cause we really enjoyed our stay.
