Other things to note
Welcome to Grey Heron Hideaway!
This home was designed as a peaceful coastal retreat—a place to slow down, enjoy quiet mornings, and spend evenings by the fire pit. We love being close to the water while still tucked into a calm neighborhood, and we hope you’ll enjoy walking to the docks, relaxing at the beach, and unwinding in the comfort of the house as much as we do. If you need anything during your stay, we’re just a message away and happy to help make your visit memorable.
