Description

This home is represented by Nauset Rental, a local vacation rental management company.

Welcome to this peaceful 3-bedroom, 2-bath retreat perched on the Orleans–Eastham line, offering sweeping views of the surrounding salt marsh. This pet-friendly home is designed for pure relaxation, with a long back deck that captures the changing light over the marsh throughout the day. Whether you’re lounging with a book, enjoying dinner outdoors, or simply taking in the calm of the landscape, the outdoor spaces make this property truly special. Inside, the main living areas are spacious and welcoming, giving your group plenty of room to spread out comfortably. The lower level is cooled by a newly installed ductless split system, while each bedroom has its own window AC unit to keep everyone comfortable on warm summer days. Your dream Cape Cod vacation rental awaits here.

The layout of the home is bright, functional, and ideal for families or small groups. The main floor features a comfortable living room with vaulted ceilings, a flat-screen TV, and beautiful marsh views. The fully equipped kitchen offers marble countertops, a breakfast bar with high-top seating, and an additional dining table for casual meals. A formal dining room with seating for six sits just beyond, and the deck provides even more space for outdoor dining beside the gas grill. A full bath with a stand-up shower and a bedroom with two twin beds complete this level. Upstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms—each with a queen bed and marsh views—as well as a second full bathroom with a tub/shower combo. The driveway offers plenty of parking for your stay, an the home is located at the end of a sleepy cul-de-sac, making it a safe place for your family to unwind. 

You’ll also love the home’s central location, close to the best of both Orleans and Eastham. In just minutes, you can explore the bay beaches Eastham is known for, including Campground Beach, First Encounter Beach, and Cook’s Brook. Head into Orleans for excellent dining and shopping, from casual seafood spots to boutique stores and local markets. The home is also just about a mile from iconic Rock Harbor, where you can watch breathtaking sunsets, stroll along the inlet, or book a fishing charter for the day. With natural beauty, convenience, and classic Cape Cod charm, this is an ideal setting for your summer getaway.

Heron House in Eastham is a beautiful rental. It is a loved family home with a chefs kitchen and the best view one could ask for. I was hoping for a bay or ocean view plus a place to take my pets and this beautiful home fit the bill. You need just take a seat on the deck and watch the rare and unusual birdlife. Location is perfect and the dogs were delighted! That is an Osprey in one of the pictures!!

Breathtaking view on the marsh. The home exceeded our expectations. Every amenity possible from a fully stocked kitchen, outdoor shower, free hulu, netflix ect. Only down side was no Red Sox channel but otherwise thoroughly enjoyable. House is beautiful, comfortable and welcoming. Will come again if available in the future. Quiet cul de sac which was perfect for my dog. A great escape from the city.

If you are a bird person and enjoy quiet and relaxation, this is the rental for you! Situated on a marsh in Eastham, it is quiet and relaxing. The home is clean and in excellent condition and has everything you could want for a weeks (or longer!) stay. We felt very much at home and it was a wonderful relaxing week. It is centrally located to beaches, shopping and restaurants. We would highly recommend this rental and fully intend to visit again!

The house is in an ideal location. Isolated, yet within 10 minutes of shopping center. The house is fully equipped, comfortable, and the view of the marsh is fantastic!

Heron House is a fantastic place to enjoy your Cape vacation! The home is beautiful, with plenty of room for togetherness-as well as some alone time! It is located on a quiet road, overlooking the salt marsh, but minutes to Orleans and Eastham. Nice outside deck with comfortable furniture and great grill. The home was immaculate, and very well stocked with little things that made our stay as comfortable as home. Loved the information provided by the owner- very clear and helpful. My family enjoyed a fabulous week here and look forward to renting again next summer.

We want to let you know what a WONDERFUL time we had at your place .-- It was a very peaceful, relaxing week, spent mostly out on your deck facing the marsh, and at Boat Meadow Beach, walking out at low tide . . . Your place is lovely, comfortable, well-equipped -- made for the ideal vacation.

This is a wonderful house, very clean, well equipped and well laid out with lots of private areas for different interests and activities. Cozy franklin stove in kitchen is perfect for chilly evenings. With the house overlooking the salt marsh, it's almost like being right on the beach-- the marsh changes by the hour and is endlessly entertaining. Walking/biking trail is also very close by. House is at end of cul-de-sac, private and safe for kids to play outside. Location is ideal-- in a less crowded part of Cape than Hyannis and Dennis areas, yet not isolated and with shopping and attractions nearby.
