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!

Beautiful home!
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.

Great place
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!
