About this property

Blue Heron * fish, boat, wine, dine, relax, repeat!

Welcome to the Blue Heron. This beautiful home will win your heart - a place to create amazing memories. Located in Bokeelia, this home offers tranquility and is the perfect spot to boat from, fish, enjoy family time, and simply relax. There are 2 boat docks and a boat ramp close by, we have kayaks and paddle boards to explore the waterways, bikes to explore the island, or stay home and make the most of the heated pool, fish from the dock, or hang at the private tiki bar!

We very much want you to feel at home, be able to relax in comfort, and thoroughly enjoy everything this beautiful vacation villa has to offer, as well as the Pine Island location and the Florida sunshine!

Imagine waking up in the king size bed in the primary bedroom with the sunshine filtering through the blinds. Take your morning coffee on the dock and see if you can spot the manatees, or jump in the heated pool, for a refreshing wake up! Then choose your favorite spot and contemplate what the new day has to offer. An early morning kayak or paddle boarding trip straight from your private dock? A boating and fishing day? A leisurely day by the pool? An afternoon nap? A beach day, perhaps, or exploring the island by bike. How about a cornhole tournament? And if your schedule includes work time, set up on the patio, with a canal view - it is definitely going to beat the office! Oh, and did we mention the large private tiki bar? We have a feeling you may spend a while hanging out in there and maybe even create a margarita (or two) with our top notch margarita machine!

If fishing is your thing, Bokeelia has some of Florida’s best fishing at your fingertips - snook, redfish, trout and grouper, and tarpon are just some of the fish you may find on the end of your line and Boca Grande Pass, home to some of the world's most active tarpon fishing tournaments.

The house is spacious, light and airy, set over 2 stories, with vaulted ceilings in the main living areas and large glass sliders leading onto the enclosed balcony room, overlooking the canal and the pool deck. It has a serene, relaxed feel - recently updated, completely repainted, and recently furnished The owners have put a lot of work into ensuring the best experience for your vacation.

This house is perfect for a couple of families vacationing together and we have provided everything with this in mind. The access and main living area of the house is on the second floor, including the kitchen, living and dining area, 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms, so guests must have the ability to climb stairs.

The patio and pool, and dock area is where you’ll spend a lot of time! The pool is heated and there are sun chaises for the sun worshippers and floaties for you to lounge on in the pool.

This is a waterfront property and the patio leads down to a private dock, complete with 2 boat docks, a fish cleaning station, and a fire-pit for the evenings. We have provided kayaks and stand up paddle boards for your use as well as life jackets. There are plenty of protected waterways along Jug Creek and Pine Island Sound that are great for kayaking.

Heavenly
This place has it all. Beautiful well equipped home with a peaceful view and neighborhood. The pool is huge and plenty of bikes, cayaks and other equipment. We paddle boarded out to the end of the canal and met the local friendly dolphin every day. Manatees around the dock and even caught some trout with a local fishermen, which we are for lunch. We rented a boat( just a few minutes away from the house) and made our way to the private beaches at Casa Cayo. We would love to come back next spring. We would just bring bug spray, because the “noseeums” sure loved us.

Great for our family reunion
My mixed age family (1-50) stayed here for a week. My grown kids live all over the country. It was wonderful! Best stocked vacation rental any of us have ever stayed at. Very clean and comfortable. Tasteful decor. There was plenty of seating for all. I highly recommend this house. The tiki bar was so much fun and three fridges and two stoves made less trips up and down stairs. It was such a great week. We were all sad to leave.

Terrific place
If you have a boat, a dog and love to fish, this is a wonderful place! The Tiki bar and pool made it the perfect place for telling tall fishing tales. We had a terrific time. Thank you. We'll be back.
