    We were looking for an overnight stop on I95 and just happened on Blue Heron Inn in a guide book. It was like a mini overnight vacation. Bill and Jan were fabulous hosts and made us feel very welcomed. This is a peaceful, quiet, secluded spot. The breakfast was superb!!

    had just a wonderful weekend at the blue heron inn. Bill and Jan were charming hosts and made us feel like we were visiting old friends. the room was very comfortable and the view of the marsh and night sky from the porch/deck was spectacular. delicious breakfast each morning, a beautiful area to ride bikes and super convenient if you plan to go to sapelo island.

    Found this to be very relaxing. Enjoyed the evening of wine, cheese, and wonderful conversation. Rooms were welcoming, turned down bed service and candy were a welcomed site after a long day touring. Views of the marsh were outstanding--very peaceful there. The innkeeper upgraded us to a bigger room for the same price, because it had become available. Inn was located back a long lane in the country, a plus for us, but may not be for some. The shower was a bit small and was only a little warmer than lukewarm water, but we did not care. The large room, satelite TV, and balcony more than made up for those things.

    Innkeeper Response
    So sorry you experienced a problem with the hot water. We noticed on Dec. 21 that the shower handle in the Shell Seeker was not turning all the way to allow for adequate hot water. Fixed! Happy to hear you enjoyed your stay with us despite the shower.

    - Jan (innkeeper)

    Every year, my Grandmother, Mother and I take a trip around Christmas to a B & B somewhere quaint. This was our 7th year, but my 89 year old Grandmother doesn't like the cold and stairs are getting more difficult (we're taking her on a trip in the summer instead!), so it was just my Mom and I. Everything was wonderful and it was the most peaceful and relaxing trip we've had. Loved the shops in Darien (Shops at 107 Broad and Olive Affairs) - and the food (Skipper's and The Purple Pickle). The rooms at Blue Heron were beautiful and the breakfast was superb. The innkeepers were friendly and helpful. All in all, a very warm, comfortable atmosphere. Will definately visit again!


    Incredible escape to GA's wonderful natural beauty.

    This B&B is tucked away in the woods of Georgia's shoreline. We absolutely enjoyed the Inn, the Innkeepers and their hospitality, as well as the locale. There are some great restaurants locally. The environment is clean, quiet and breath-taking. We loved our stay.
