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 swimin 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.

    The host sent us all the information we needed. The location of Heron Now is great with a view of the bay and a very short walk to the beach.

    The bay view was beautiful here. The house was great, as advertised. It was clean and looked like they had just put in new carpet and had recently painted. The walk to the beach was very quick and convenient. The host was very clear in his communication. We loved it and would stay again.

    Heron Now is perfectly located (for us) off the main drag, with a great view of the bay and a close walk. For those interested in fishing, check out the bay. we caught crooker, catfish and redfish and crabs.The owners communication with us left nothing to the imagination, we were well informed of what to expect upon arrival as well as who to contact in the event a problem arose (which none did). The best recommendation we can give is that we would definitely return to Heron Now.

    The house was exactly as listed. Very integrated into the pine trees with a great bayside view. Lots of birds, sound of surf in the distance and close to the state park.

    Very relaxing stay! The home is an older home, but well maintained and clean. We saw bald eagles, osprey, an American kestrel, loons, and countless other birds from the back porch! It was amazing! There’s also tons of little tree frog friends that visit every evening! Very quiet area and it was fun to see a different side of the island as we usually stay ocean side. Wonderful trip!

    Stayed for fall freak 2024 and thought the place was awesome. Kitchen was a little small but couldn’t beat the scenery and distance to both bay and ocean!
