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.

Heron Now was a dream location for our weeklong vacation. There is a public beach access directly across from the house, 1.5 blocks, and it was super easy to navigate anywhere you needed to be on the island. The house is well appointed and had everything we needed during our stay. Our group enjoyed the bay views from the comfort of the living room, and we were amazed at the amount of natural light we got each day. Bonus, we watched the meteor shower from the spacious deck! We definitely want to stay here again.

Everything we needed was provided. Beds were very comfortable which is very important for our old backs! View of the bay was great! The trip to put our kayaks in however was more of an effort than we anticipated. The stairs were hard on my knees so next time i will have to look ground level. Hate it cause we really enjoyed our stay.

The property is beautiful and the house is very clean. The kitchen was fully-equipped to meet our cooking and food needs. The beach is a short walk or bike ride just across the street. The view of the bay from the back deck is a great way to enjoy our morning coffee. The property owners are friendly and responsive. The owners also provide a lot of information about local sites and places to go. My son loved looking at the bird and critter books and then spotting those creatures on the island. We had such a great time and made a ton of memories.

This was a beautiful place hidden between the beach and the bay. Very clean and spacious. We rented a golf cart which I would recommend. It made getting sound so much easier. The beach is a short walk from the house and that end of the beach was not that busy. There was plenty of stuff for the kids to do and watch when we came back to the house. Would recommend this place.
