    My husband and I came to the Heron B& B Inn to relax and celebrate our 30th Wedding Anniversary on May 6-8, 2011. Everything was beautiful and The Family Members: Pat, Mike & Rowdy were very welcoming and willing to share their true friendship with us. The Heron B & B Inn has a pleasant, friendly & loving feeling about it which is Very Hard to find. It’s a Diamond in the Rough!!! We are planning to come back again in the Future. The Heron B &B Inn had provided us with a very Pleasant Experience and We Loved It. The Experience at the Heron B & B is Hard to describe!!! Just, Try it and you’ll Not be disappointed!!! Hello, Pat (Smile)!!!

    Our stay the most comfortable and relaxing that we ever had experienced. The room/area was amazing, great jacuzzi, wonderful homemade treats on request and AMAZING breakfast. We chatted with Pat for over 2 hours at breakfast and she is an amazing woman. Her bed & breakfast is BEAUTIFUL and super clean. Thank you for making our anniversary getaway the BEST ever. We WILL be back soon.

    My wife and I had a great time at Heron's View Bed and Breakfast. We enjoyed relaxing and enjoying the great views. Pat made our stay amazing by making us great breakfast and also by treating us like family and we felt that way by the time we left. Their two dogs were very friendly and I am sure they enjoyed our company as much as my wife and I enjoyed theirs. I was able to have a good time going fishing and taking the canoe out into the intracoastal. I would highly recommend Heron's View.

    We stayed at the Heron's View and were extremely happy with the service, food cleanliness and hospitality of the innkeepers Pat and Mike. The rooms have exquisite views, the common room is on the 2nd floor for privacy, and the amenities are A++. Internet access and HD TV, as well as snacks, refrigerator, etc. It will be my new home away from home. Great for travelers with kids, lots of privacy. Literally the top floor of their house.

    My girlfriend and I recently celebrated our year anniversery here and couldn't have been more pleased. Pat and Mike made you feel like you were taking a trip to grandma's house, the property was gorgeous, and Pat's blueberry pancakes were unbelievable. Thank you both for a perfect anniversery.
