The Blue Heron- Waterfront-Gulf Access-Dock-Pool-Kayaks

Nestled on a peaceful canal with direct access to the Gulf of Mexico, The Blue Heron is a serene waterfront escape. A 36-foot dock with a 22-foot floating section is ready for your boat, fishing, or quiet moments by the water. The private, fenced backyard features a sunlit custom pool, perfect for relaxing days in the Florida sun.

Please note: The Blue Heron is not a venue for parties or events of any kind. This is in accordance with county rules and community guidelines

Enjoy the shaded patio with comfy seating, a large dining table, and a gas grill—ideal for laid-back evenings and fun games like Corn Hole and Giant Jenga. Four kayaks invite you to explore the calm canals at your own pace.

Inside, the home offers a bright, open layout with three cozy bedrooms and two modern bathrooms. With a king, queen, two doubles, and a sofa bed, there's room for everyone. The wraparound porch, screened verandah, and upper balcony offer beautiful spots to unwind and take in the views.

When booking, please remember: please count every guest—including little ones! Children under 2 stay free. We’re excited to welcome you!

Amazing house. Plenty of room for the family. Great location. You can fish from the dock and spend the evening at the pool while grilling.

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.

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!

We visit Florida every year for baseball spring training. This year was no exception! This property was cleaner than any we have ever rented. Congrats on the best property ! Everything you need is there all you need is to take the time and visit.!
