A great relaxing stay by the water
The cabin was clean and well supplied. The marina was quiet in a very lovely area. Captain Billy and Mary were super friendly and couldn’t have been nicer. All in all it was a great experience and awesome place that we hope to get back to sometime.

Wonderful place to stay to relax!
We loved staying at Heron’s Nest. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. The marina is quiet and clean. We brought our boat and having a covered slip was a bonus for us! We loved being able to jump in and take the boat out without having to launch it every time. Mary was very helpful with our stay. Recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet place right on the bay.

Serene tiny house
The tiny house rustic cabin was charming and well appointed, exactly as described. Super quite at night, sleep with the windows open. Quick access and centrally located in the NNK to both southern and northern towns and restaurants. We toured up and down the shores from Reedville to Urbana and a cruise to Tangier Island. Check out Hughlett Nature Preserve and hang out in Kilmarnack. Ledbellies at the Marina was a great dog friendly restaurant frequented by unapologetic locals. We plan to return, rent both tiny house cabins and take a cruise on the Bay with Captain Billy. Mary and Billy are so friendly and accommodating.

Exactly as described & Perfect!
We arrived in the dark and Mary was there to help us. Cabin was exactly as described and had the most pleasant cedar aroma. We enjoyed the view of the bay and for BOATERS, THIS is where you want to be! So quiet at night we had wonderful, restful nights! 15 minutes from Kilmarnock, 10 from Reedville. Perfect stay!

I did not stay but leaving a small review for posterity.
Mary(property owner) was helpful in getting our situation adjusted. We really wanted to stay at the property but obligations and timing didn't work. Fully expect to have a caring property owner. I fully expect and aim to stay at this property next year God willing. Thank you Mary for working with us.

Loved the tiny house!
We had a very relaxing home away from home getaway. The tiny house was exactly as described in the listing (so cute!). The kitchen was equipped with all necessities needed. Mary and Captain Billy made us felt so welcome. Mary personally checked us in and gave us few tips. They let us use their crab pots which we came home with 2 dozen (yummy!). We enjoyed having coffee on the porch in the morning and watching stars (so many, so beautiful) at night. The location was very safe and peaceful (no traffic noises 😊). Our small pet enjoyed running around big the lawn. Love the banana plants (nice tropical touch). In between the 2 tiny houses there is cookout area with large gas grill, picnic table and a lounge chair (very nice setting). There is a beautiful gazebo, picnic area and fire pit by the water (steps away). It was nice to just sit and enjoy the water view. Tips: Please keep in mind that there is no restaurants, stores, or shopping center nearby. However, they are within 30–40-minute drive to most area. Also, don’t forget to bring your own shampoo, soap, and bug spray. Suggestions: The area could use some lightings at night, such as strings light would be perfect around the gazebo, picnic area, and the cookout in between the tiny houses, it would make the place more beautiful and more romantic and provide walking hazardous free. We would be back!
