This very nice house had a beautiful view from the living room/dining room overlooking a large waterway that would recede a good bit mid morning and come fully back later in the day. The other side of the waterway had a few nice looking houses with docks and nighttime lighting that added to that great view. The living room, dining room and kitchen were very roomy and nicely decorated; the kitchen was well-stocked with items for cooking and dishes. The master bedroom with its own bathroom was very large and also had an excellent view of the waterway. The other two bedrooms had access to a full and a half bathroom. The parking was easy and close to the front door. I and my two friends liked that there were no steps in the house and only one into the front door. The owner and local company managing the property were both very accessible and helpful.

Peaceful and cozy home.

We love Ron and Sue’s home so much. In the living room, we can see the beautiful water view and those hummingbirds flying around. The bed is very comfortable, the decoration makes it feel like home. The most recommended place.

Cozy home on the beach

The house and owners are very nice. They accommodate you very well and are overall great people!. The house itself is very spacious and everyone has their own space. The hot water comes instantly in the shower and it feels very nice and powerful! The hot tub is also amazing and very clean. We would stay at this house again 100%

The most beautiful and comfortable vacation home!

Heron Reach has it all! A gorgeous, quiet setting with privacy and spectacular views. We enjoyed the hot tub and large deck with gas BBQ each evening. The living room and bedrooms were so comfortable and beautifully styled. Every room was impeccably clean and supplied with things to anticipate any needs, such as extra towels, blankets, everything you might need in a kitchen and pantry, plus many other thoughtful extras. The host/owner went above and beyond to provide us with a wonderful experience. We hope to visit again!

Just like home, only better...😊

This property had so much more than was listed! Such a great welcome basket with goodies! 😊 Fully stocked kitchen spices and utensils. Relaxing matter suite with beautiful view! Sad we didn't get to enjoy the hot tub -- we were so busy visiting the area: Mt Rainier, Seattle, Bainbridge Island, and downtown Gig Harbor Farmer's Market. Couldn't believe the wildlife with the water and mudflats; each has its own beauty!

We loved our weekend at Heron Reach! The house is very open and spacious, very comfortable and clean so we were able to immediately relax into vacation mode. The deck is so nice with beautiful waterfront views. We loved using the kayaks. The very kind host stopped by to see that we had everything we needed and to offer great advice that made our stay even more fun. We definitely want to make a return visit.
