The great heron inn was a "fall back" when I couldn't get a nice balcony room in this area over Easter weekend. I prepared myself for a less than perfect stay at a mom/pop hotel that was luckily beachfront (and we had the beach/ocean view room) Reservations were handled pleasantly over the phone and confirmed via email. Upon arriving the... More

We booked at the Great Heron Inn because if its high rating on tripadvisor. Never were we so pleased with the system. This place is on the beach, clean, located near lots of great restaurants, and very friendly. The suites are the right size for two people and have what you need for more than a one nite stay. There... More

Great Heron Inn is right on the Gulf of Mexico. Very friendly staff and clean apts. Beach chairs are available to take right down to the beach area. We've been coming down and staying here for 3 yrs. More

I recently spent three nights at Great Heron Inn. The room was clean and had everything we needed to eat in, although there are a lot of places within walking distance to dine. The beach was perfect, nice for early am walks and afternoon sunbathing. The resident Heron hung out on the dunes outside the Inn. The sunsets were beautiful.... More

My friends and I have stayed here several times through the last few years. Returning this month, can't wait. I wouldn't stay anywhere else on the beach. The location is perfect, the beach right outside your door. Room are clean and equiped with everything you need. The owners and staff are very friendly and helpful. Many of my favorite places...

This was a perfect affordable motel type accommodation right on the Gulf of Mexico. For beach lovers it is perfect, miles of soft icing- sugar like sand to walk and watch the dolphins at play. A little bus to go up and down the road when you don't feel like driving and restaurants with sports bars and entertainment in the... More

This was perfect! We are not into the large chain hotels but like to stay at places with character and style. The beach was right outside our door and the owners couldn't have been nicer. We will be back again and again. Thanks for a great birthday! More

I chose this spot because the pictures reminded me of the places of my childhood, small, two storied, on the beach without a skyscraper in sight. We stayed for three nights in a gulf-view room. The room was comfortable and we had everything we could have possible needed. The staff were wonderful, thanks Tina & Susan for making us feel... More

Visited last year just me and hubby, this year returned with more family members. This time we stayed in the 3 bedroom apartment which had plenty of room for 5 of us - good sized living room and dining area, and 2 full bathrooms. We loved that we had a huge balcony overlooking the intracoastal and could also sit out... More
