    Clean comfortable home in a peaceful, quiet neighborhood. It was really cool to see the difference from high tide to low tide up close.

    My sister, mother, aunt and I stayed here for a girls weekend and it was beyond relaxing. Kayaks were so fun and it was a beautiful view. Incredibly clean. Hot tub was amazing! We will definitely be back!

    My husband and I loved this property. Even in December, we were able to enjoy our time outdoors. The house is beautifully furnished and very comfortable.

    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!

    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!

    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%

    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.
