About this house rental

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.

Place was as described with no surprises. Gray location as with pretty much anywhere on the island. Would definitely stay again and plan on it.

Can't say enough good about this place. My family of 4, with two teens thoroughly enjoyed this costal cabin. The location to the bay, and beach is about 3 minute walk to each. The deck has amazing views, and is great for sunrise, and sunset. We enjoyed using the binoculars to check out all the wildlife. Interior could use some minor updates, but overall clean, and functional. The coffee maker takes about 30-40 minutes to brew a pot, so that may need attention. The master bedroom is a loft, and there's only 1 TV in house so that's something to be aware of. Also bring a fire stick/Roku if you want to watch anything, there's only very basic cable. There's no way to block out morning light in loft, didn't bother us since we like to watch sunrise. Kitchen was well equipped, and we cooked many meals. Overall one of our favorite places we've stayed in over 10 years of coming to forgotten coast area. Would recommend, and stay again.

We had a great trip to St George Island. Home was comfortable and cozy. Sunsets from the living room were fabulous. We loved the short walk to beach and lots of local seafood.

Great location! 5 minute walk to the beach and 5 minute walk to the bay where there is a small beach. We had some pretty strong winds 3 out of 7 days and the bay was perfect to set up for the day. It was perfect for our grandkids to play on. The house is older, but in very good condition. The large deck was great for birdwatching, sunsets and a play area for the grandkids.

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!

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.
