We enjoyed our stay at Twin Spits Heron House very much. The owners have made the place very comfortable and provisioned it well. They were helpful when we needed guidance with the television, and they were open to any suggestions we had. We would love to stay there again. We gathered family from all over the US in three houses in Hansville. We made some wonderful memories, and we ate well including the king salmon and dungeness crabs that we caught. The location with a dependable breeze, and lovely views of the Olympic Mountains was wonderful. We enjoyed the great fire pit, too. Thank you for sharing a comfortable, clean home.

Heron House and Kingfisher provided the perfect venues for our large family reunion on Hood Canal. We also rented another home about .4 mile from Heron House. Heron House was our favorite with its well supplied ammenities and equipment and gorgeous views and breezes. We enjoyed the firepit and kayaks, and we caught crabs and king salmon in Hood Canal. The houses are well-equipped and clean, and comfortable. We cooked half of the meals there. Enjoying cousins from around the US was the best part, and these homes helped make that possible. Thank you for sharing your homes with us. Everything was wonderful.
Owner's Response: Thank you, Kay and Family! We enjoyed meeting you and it was truly a pleasure providing a comfortable space for your great family reunion. I love that you mentioned the breezes, as the weather was quite warm here. We are glad that all your planning paid off so well for your relatives!
We will welcome you back to Heron House, guest house, and our wonderful Twin Spits Beach next year!

Spectacular setting with it's own private dock, we walked for miles along the beach! The home was beautiful, comfortable, and relaxing. Homeowners have made every effort to create a perfect beach experience. We were lucky enough to arrive during crab season and some wonderful people willing to share their bounty of fresh puget sound crab.
We'll be back.

Owner's Response: It was fun to share some Dungenness crab with you! We are glad you enjoyed it.
It is a delight for us to have people come out here who love the beaches as we do, not to mention those amazing sunsets. We never tire of the views--always changing and always beautiful. So glad you were comfortable, too! We are ready to welcome you back!

Our stay at Heron House exceeded our expectation! The house is beautifully appointed and the kitchen is well stocked with the cooking utensils and pantry essentials to make preparing gourmet meals a breeze. The open floor plan and copious amenities offered comfort and breathtaking views. We stayed a total of eight days, two of which we never even left the property it offered so many opportunities for fun. We spent hours kayaking, crabbing and playing on the fantastic pier from which we watched the abundant wildlife (porpoise, seals, several bald eagles and Kingfishers). Our 7 year old loved exploring the beach, discovering the giant seastars and throwing rocks in the water. On the other days, we explored the many surrounding port towns (Port Townsend was our favorite), took ferries to other islands, visited Hurricane Ridge (one of the highlights of the trip) and had a fantastic day trip into Seattle. At the end of each day, we made sure we were back at the house to bask in the beautiful sunsets either from the pier, the balcony/deck, or one of the many cozy places inside. It was well worth the small additional fee to have use of the boats. The equipment is impeccably maintained and I was fairly amazed by all the options. There were four Kayaks (the “double” made it very easy and safe to bring a child), an array of lifejackets covering all sizes, as well as the small boat that helped in the crabbing adventure. The crab pots and cooking ring were all there and there was not a thing we thought during the week of that didn’t already exist at the house. The owners are a delightful couple who made every effort to make our stay amazing. We will remember this as one of our best family vacations!

Unbeatable Beauty!

This beautiful location has it all for those who in enjoy Mother Nature and her beauty, yet want the conveniences of near-by town. Nothing better than waking up to a view of the Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains with all their splendor. The house is very comfortable and has all the amenities of home. Great walking beaches, and many attractions near-by. Easy drive into Central Kitsap and the Olympic Peninsula. Ferries also easily accessible. This was by far one of the best vacations spots we have experienced. Been to the Pacific Northwest many times, but staying at Twin Spits Heron House was like the icing on the cake. The owners are very gracious and their hospitality made us feel right at home. Will plan on returning to this perfect retreat! A++++++

Owner's Response: Yes, we agree that our spot at Twin Spits on Hood Canal is unique and special, and we enjoy sharing it! We were glad to have the Three Sisters at Heron House. And now, the change of season is all around us with the return of the cormorants and eagles, the fall colors, and the new snow covering the Olympic Mountains. Stay put and relax, or take a myriad of day trips to nearby sites of interest. Come on out to Heron House for that needed getaway!

This property is everthing described and more. The private pier adds to the experience tremendously. Relaxing and fun. So many things to see. Very quite location with so much beach line to walk and enjoy. House is so comfortable. On site kayaks, and etc. make it fun for the entire family, You feel so secluded but are close to ammenaties. Owners are gracious and ensure you are well taken care of. 5 Star.

Owner's Response: How wonderful it is to know when our guests have had a great experience at our home and property! We do want to accommodate our guests in any way possible, and it is heartening when guests report an exceptionally positive stay! Our sunsets are amazing, the kayaking fun, and we enjoy other people enjoying themselves here.

I do think our long, safe pier is something special here. Unique on Puget Sound. Pulling up crab pots or fishing with drop lines, or just taking a chair out there to sit and do nothing but look and see and breathe is like you are out sitting on top of the water!

This time of year, the fire pit and picnic area are used often--during the day for lying in the sun, and at night for campfires and marshmallows. The breezes sweep through the house on a warm day to keep you comfy on the sofa, and the view from the balcony eases the cares of the day beautifully.

So, don't miss out on a family vacation! Come on out! Really! The beach and house and pier make a special combination for relaxing and playing!

We'll take the time to have the house sparkling for your arrival! Mother Nature will provide the rest! (Well, we DID rebuild the pier ourselves. :) )

We'll be happily anticipating your stay at our vacation home and property!
