Tie up your own vessel at the 36’ dock (with both permanent and floating sections), or launch one or all 4 of the house’s kayaks to explore hidden canals, or head out on a charter to scallop, fish, and chase dolphins at sunset. Back at the house, gather on the shaded patio for grilling and games, or steal a quiet moment on the wraparound porch, screened verandah, or upper balcony. Inside, sunlight fills three inviting bedrooms and two modern baths, sleeping 8 comfortably—or up to 10 with the sofa bed. Here, every day flows with ease, laughter, and the magic of Florida’s Gulf waters. 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. 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. Your privacy is our highest priority.
