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.

Loved the house!

We had a small girl trip here, it was clean, loved the view, so cozy and so much more. I’ve stayed at a few places and these owners pride themselves in great customer service. It feels like home when you walk in. We are already planning our next trip back :)

When you first enter the home, it feels very inviting, bright, and cozy. The big windows are great for the view. The furniture is very comfortable, especially the reclining chair by the big window. It’s perfect for morning coffee. I love that it’s a one story home, so no stairs. The open kitchen, dining, and living area is perfect for families with kids since everyone is in the same space, gathered together. Walking the beach area behind the home was fun. The owners are very kind and accommodating, they have lists of local restaurants, sites to see, trails to walk. Overall 10/10 experience.

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.
