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!

Great local getaway

We live in Gig Harbor but rented this house to celebrate my stepdaughter’s 16th birthday. Her friends had fun paddle boarding and soaking up the sun. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The only mishap was 3 different people got lost trying to locate the house using the Maps app on the iPhone. It worked fine on Google maps but apparently the iPhone map was sending people in another direction. Nothing the owner can control but just something to be aware of. We definitely plan to come back next summer!

Amazing! Can’t wait to return!

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!

Nice house

Nice relaxing trip- gave 4 stars to accuracy of online listing as I had to call customer service as unable to access or pay 2nd payment through VRBO. I had to download a 3rd party app. We use VRBO for all of our getaways and this is the first time I had to use a 3rd party. Not convenient.

Amazing views of bay and wildlife

The 4 of us stayed 4 nights at Heron Reach in July. The home is wonderfully appointed with everything you might need (spices, condiments, toiletries, boots, kayaks, toys etc.) The AC in the main room worked well to cool the common areas. We spent quite a lot of time on the back deck just watching the water and many birds (hummingbirds, finches, nut hatches, eagles, and of course herons). The hot tub was sparkling clean with a clear tent- which would be great if the weather doesn't cooperate. We had fantastic weather and explored the area- Gig Harbor and too many walking trails to remember. The pathway down to the water was an easy minute walk. At the bottom is Sandpiper lagoon, which transformed with the 16' tide change. We enjoyed the kayaks and corn hole as well. I would definitely recommend this VRBO for couples or families!

House on the bay.

The house had great views of the bay and a nice deck to sit in and watch the birds. The hot tub on the deck was great. The house was clean and the beds were comfortable. The host was great to work with. He even brought us a dozen fresh eggs from his chickens. Overall it was a great experience for our family.

Moms weekend

The house was beautiful. The layout was easy to navigate. There was alot of amenities- books, games etc. We wished that the deck to the beach was accessible. Check in and check out times could be better arranged. It made us feel a bit rushed, but understand the circumstances with COVID protocol. The home offers alot of privacy. Overall we had a great time.

We had a nice weekend at this property. The kids enjoyed kayaking in the bay and exploring at low tide. The hot tub was a nice place to relax. We appreciated the sweet extra touches- s’mores supplies, snacks, and a bottle of wine. The owners made sure we had everything we needed for our stay.
