Relax under the pavilion or take a dip in the private pool, soak in the hot tub, or stretch out on the king-size covered cabana bed overlooking the bay.

A poolside bathroom and outdoor shower add convenience, while the ambient lighting from the pavilion to the palm trees creates an enchanting nighttime atmosphere.

Enjoy the private beach by roasting marshmallows at the fire pit or wade fishing for redfish and trout. Take the free kayaks and paddleboards out into the calm, clear waters or stroll along the shore collecting shells and watching dolphins in the distance.

Kids will love exploring the tidal islands and shallow water, while adults can grab one of our custom #LivetheBeachLife bicycles and cruise the scenic bay path to the lighthouse. For more exploring, golf cart rentals are available to cruise around town.

The White Heron is located just a short walk or bike ride to downtown Port St. Joe, where you’ll find local boutiques, coastal dining, live music, and old-fashioned ice cream shops. This charming town offers everything from fresh seafood and friendly locals to stunning Gulf beaches just a short drive away.

You’ll also be close to tennis courts, playgrounds, and a local boat ramp (less than ⅛ mile away). With parking for 8–10 cars, an oversized carport, and space for boats or RVs, this home is ideal for families and groups of all sizes.

Whether you’re here for rest or adventure, The White Heron offers the perfect blend of luxury, history, and coastal beauty — a true Jewel of the Forgotten Coast.
