- Jeffrey (10/5): - EXCELLENT!! Staff met us when arriving- very professional and courteous. The room (Hummingbird suite) was large, clean and very comfortable ( watch out for the stairs) They thoughtfully had snacks, wine, and coffee available daily. Parking a bit challenging, but even on this very busy day (New Year’s eve), parked in front. We did not partake in the breakfast (up too late!), but could smell the bacon in the morning. I can’t say enough good about this place. It is what a bed/breakfast should always be about! Bravo! We will definitely return- soon!

We can't wait to return to this charming inn!

- Kerri (10/5): What a gem! - Easy check-in, which was great since I arrived after hours. Amazingly friendly management and lovely included breakfast on the terrace in the morning - great way to kick off the start of a stay on the island AND close to everything!
Only thing is that I didn’t think of the 3-stories of stairs to get to my room and overpacked! Be mindful of what room you choose and how heavy your luggage is!

- PATRICIA (10/5): -
We really enjoyed our weekend stay at the Blue Heron Inn. The location is perfect for walking around the downtown area with many restaurants and shops close by. We were able to park our car at the Inn and barely needed it again. There is ample parking in their private lot, and parking is permitted on the street in front of the Inn.
The house is historic and beautifully decorated, with a mix of antiques and contemporary furnishings so that its history is evident, but feels open and modern (and extremely clean!) at the same time. The innkeepers, Julie and David are extremely charming and hospitable. The breakfasts were perfect- and I really enjoyed the 5pm Beer/Wine Happy Hour in the main room where you can mix with the host and other guests. We stayed in the Heron Room on the first floor. I loved the light and airy ambiance in that room. All in all, from the moment we entered, from initial welcome, to our leave -taking, we felt like friends and so, we will be back!
- lauren (10/5): - Location, cleanliness, hosts, breakfasts
- Mike (10/5): - Wonderful stay at a beautiful well kept in. Julie the innkeeper was warm and friendly !! Very clean and breakfast was the best!!!!!
- Iain (10/5): Blue Heron - top flight - Second trip to this beautiful property. Julie and David are such kind and generous hosts. The breakfasts were delicious and the happy hour enticing.

- Michael (10/5): - David and Julie were born to be B&B hosts. You feel their warmth and pleasantness in every room. Breakfast each morning was delicious and beautifully presented. Our 5 o’clock social gave us an opportunity to meet others. We enjoyed relaxing times on the porch, and rest in our room. Looking forward to returning.
- William (10/5): December Getaway Close to Home - Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this very conveniently located Inn. Highly recommend!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - David and Julie are consummate hosts! I altered my departure plans because I didn't want to miss one of Julie's breakfasts! Our room was magnificent, clean and so comfortable. They were very attentive but super cool and laid back at the same time. The house itself is a gem. Location is perfect and the pool is the cherry on the sundae! We can't wait to return!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We had such a lovely stay at the Blue Herron Inn. Check-in was easy, the happy hour was appreciated, breakfast was absolutely delicious, and all staff we encountered were friendly and accommodating. It's not the most modern or up-to-date property, but it was absolutely charming, clean, and had everything we needed. We cannot wait to return!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - My wife and I went to Blue Heron Inn for our anniversary. The Inn is close to downtown and the shopping but not to close that if you like quiet you can find the peace.
