Heron Now is a comfortable bayfront home located on St George
Island overlooking         
Apalachicola Bay. The large deck offers seabreezes and a private
panoramic 
overlook of the bay and estuarine reserve. You have the same view from 
inside the house and even from the updated kitchen. 
     Heron Now has the best of both vacation worlds: the gulf coast
beaches 
and the beautiful bayside marsh.  The spacious nationally ranked 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 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. The
Reserve is part of the 
Great Florida Birding Trail. 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.
