Heron's Landing

Maureen is a most accommodating hostess and her place is magical. We didn't have any expectations upon our arrival but we were so pleasantly surprised. The place is clean, spacious, comfortable but not overdone. The view out every window is breathtaking. My 18 yr olds spent every waking second there fishing and laughing. What more could a parent ask for? We went charter fishing and the captain was able to pick us up at the dock. We felt like royalty. (Maureen hooked us up here too!) No accommodation has been overlooked. Extra towels, beach chairs, umbrella for the beach and back porch, beach towels, condiments of every variety, plenty of paper towels and garbage bags etc. Yes these are small touches, but they make life so much easier and made our vacation easy! The neighbors were delightful and you are steps away from anything and everything! Basically, a breathing suit, and let Maureen take care of the rest! Also, the place is pet friendly and economically desirable.

Thanks or such enchanting memories! We will always remember it, and hope to return soon.

So Beautiful!!!!
Found some fabulous shells and got to see some dolphins playing..
Loved it!!!

Stayed here many times. Love the dock and the patio.

Great vacation, very convenient with a dock for our boat and directly across from the beach. Pet friendly so our pups could come and large enough for 4 to sleep comfortably.

My partner and I, along with our son and his girlfriend, stayed at 2 Heron's Landing from December 17 - 27, 2012. Gerry now wants to sell his ice huts and move to Florida for a month at least! The house is beautiful, exactly as described and the location is quiet, with great neighbours. But what is not obvious from the web site is the private pier. A 70 foot long walkway takes you out to the pier that is over 65 feet in length with a bench at each end, a fish cleaning table, 2 freshwater hoses and a boat slip. We lived on the pier, catching and eating all sorts of different fish. The herons, egrets and wood storks become your best friend as they wait for handouts. Manta Rays and dolphins swim by.The fish bit well in the morning and evening, giving us time to do other things during the day i.e. go to the outdoor markets, restaurants, walking trails, deep sea charters. The Gulf Beach is just across the road (the sand is like flour!) and the house is only a few short blocks from 'downtown' Bridge Street where there is a convenience store, ice cream shop, gift shops, mini golf, lots of restaurants and a bait shop. The free trolley runs every 20 minutes from one end of the Island to the other and is the best way to get to the Publix grocery store. It stops for a longer period at Anna Maria Island Beach Cafe in Holmes Beach. Be sure to get out and look around and eat there! Great food, beach bar, lots of sand.
We loved our vacation at 2 Heron's Landing!
