5 out of 5Weekend stay at the Blue Heron Inn Bed and Breakfast
May 09, 2013
Hosts were great. The breakfast was very tasty and filling. We stayed on the second floor. Our baloney over looked the wetlands. I saw many different birds. While on the baloney, I heard a bull alligator calling for a sweetheart. Grounds and Inn were very clean and neat. Quite airy. If the area again, I would stay here. Hosts were knowledge about places to dine. Ate at a seafood restaurant on the river. Quite tasty.
4.8 out of 5A Wonderful Respite
February 15, 2013
We were looking for a Bed and Breakfast with a bit of character and southern hospitality where we could truly relax and we found it at the Blue Heron. Jan and Bill helped us find our way on our first trip to beautiful coastal Georgia. The Seafarer room was perfect for the 'naturalist' in my husband and I. Wood Storks, Black Vultures, Tufted Titmice and more were visible from our perch on the 3rd floor. The kayaks gave us great access to the salt marsh where we even encountered a dolphin. Suggestions for birding hot spots, guided tours and local seafood restaurants left us very satisfied. The evening happy hour was delightful. We have frequented B and B's all over the U.S. and this experience equalled any. This is an Inn where you come as a guest and leave as a friend. We will return!

We only were able to stay for a night but we'd love to go back and stay for much longer! What a beautiful place!
5 out of 5A fantastic weekend
August 23, 2012
Thsi was a great visit for my wife and I. And I say visit because it was like going back home for me. Bill and Jan were like family from the time we arrived until departure. The view from the rooms and balcomy is fantastic with plenytty of entertainment from the various birds. It could not be more relaxing and a short trip to Darien and Skippers topped off the stay. Bill will tell you about Skippers and the Bucaneer restaurants. Thanks Bill, Jan for a great time. Give Sassy and Wildman a pat for me.
5 out of 5a stay in a birder's paradise

In addition to the wonderful service and outstanding breakfasts (be sure to check out Bill's sweet potato pancakes!), we saw an abundance of birds, including several painted buntings and of course numerous egrets, ibises, etc. A place to return to, for sure!
