Waterfront Scallop & Fish Spot! Private Dock + Ice Machine—Pet Friendly Home

Skip the long idle times and the morning ice run. Located just 200 yards from the open Gulf, Heron House is a waterfront paradise designed for those who live for the water. Whether you’re here for the legendary scalloping or world-class fishing, our private dock and 160lb/day commercial ice machine ensure your catch stays fresh and your cooler stays full.

This spacious, pet-friendly 3-bedroom home sits high on pylons, offering shaded parking for up to three vehicles. Inside, you’ll find a bright, single-story layout with a fully equipped kitchen (Keurig + drip coffee included) and a living area built for relaxation. With a King master, Queen guest room, Twin room, and two comfy futons, we comfortably sleep 9.

Use the private ramp just two doors down (boats up to 18’) or the Keaton Beach ramp 1.5 miles away. Tie up at our private dock and clean your catch at the dedicated fish-cleaning station.

Two levels of covered outdoor space overlook the canal. Fire up the charcoal grill and enjoy dinner al fresco at the picnic table under the ceiling fans.

Don’t leave your best friend behind—your pup is welcome to join the adventure!

Primary renter must be at least 21 years old, sign a rental agreement within 48 hours of booking, be present for the duration of the stay, and agree to a $500 damage deposit hold. No smoking or parties allowed. Up to two dogs are allowed with a pet fee of $150.

Guest boats are welcome. Due to the high/low tides and the natural environment, only boats that can draft in 12" or less can be utilized in our canal. Anyone bringing a boat will need to monitor low/high tide schedules and depending on departure date, should be prepared to take the boat out of the water before a negative tide. During the stay, boats can simply sit on the canal channel during a negative tide. Our boat will likely be on property but that is not included in the stay. Do not swim in the canal. A fishing license is required - $25 for a weekend.
