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.

Great Property and Owners

As soon as we checked in we felt like we were welcome with open arms and knew we would be comfortable for our short stay. Owners were friendly and welcoming. The gift basket was top notch and the fresh eggs we ate daily. Will definately book again and I hope to book it soon.

The deck, the view, the beach access, the hot tub … we could not have asked for more! This was exactly the weekend getaway we’d hoped for. The owner is kind and accommodating. The home is thoughtfully and comfortably furnished - great beds! Shopping and dining in cute downtown Gig Harbor was fantastic. We can’t wait to come back!
