The gourmet kitchen features stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a spacious 10-foot island—perfect for preparing family meals or fresh local seafood. Dine indoors with lake views or cook out on the Weber gas grill and gather on the large, screened in porch with ceiling fans and a Bluetooth sound system.
The main level offers three well-appointed bedrooms. The lake-view primary suite features a king bed and a private bathroom with water views. Two additional guest bedrooms share a hall bathroom, with one offering a queen and twin bed and the other featuring a queen bed and twin-over-twin bunks. Upstairs, a spacious private suite offers a king bed, sitting area with a full-size futon, and a private bathroom with double vanity and walk-in shower.

Blue Heron Lake is intended for scenic enjoyment only; swimming, boating, and fishing are not permitted on the lake, with many excellent options for all three available throughout the island.
A four-seat golf cart is included, making it easy and enjoyable to explore the island and reach multiple beach access points in under five minutes.

Set on one of the island's most tranquil lakefront settings, Hidden Treasure offers a rare blend of peaceful waterfront living and quick access to beaches and resort amenities.
