Perfect pet friendly home for a restful yet active vacation. The location is near every thing we enjoy. It contained everything we needed- beach towels, chairs, bikes, and so much more. This is our third stay at the beach shack and will definitely book again. Thanks to Tara our host for coordinating our stay and making sure everything met our expectations. Thanks to all at Heart of Cape Cod.

We had such a wonderful time at the Surf Shack. The location was perfect. Within 15 minutes the best beaches, best dining, best shopping..everything. The house was incredibly clean with all the amenities needed to have a great family vacation. The host was incredibly quick to reply to any and all inquiries and was so pleasant to deal with. We couldn’t be any happier with our stay and will definitely stay there again if our travels return us to the Cape.

Great location in Eastham near Orleans. Surf Shack Hideaway is not a shack, but rather a very large uncomfortable house to stay in. Would come back again, especially if managed by Heart of the Cape who kept everything clean and had quick communications.

Beautiful house in perfect location!

Our family booked a spontaneous weekend in April, and we will sure be back! This beautiful spacious house was spotless when we arrived, and the arrival treats for our 2 legged and 4 legged boys was a thoughtful touch! Our family used the bikes and kayaks that were available, explored the coves and beaches with our dogs. It was the perfect place for our getaway!

Wonderful Experience!

We had a great few days in Eastham. We absolutely loved the house - beautiful, impeccably clean, comfortable, well-stocked, great layout and fantastic location! Tara was great too, checking in to see if there was anything we needed. Very happy with Heart of Cape Cod.

Great birthday weekend getaway

The house and location were great. Close enough to feel like we could easily get to the beach, hikes, and restaurants. The rooms are large and comfortable. The hosts were very responsive and answered all our questions in a timely manner. There is a very useful house manual that was invaluable in making our stay easier. Sadly we weren't able to take advantage of the Kayaks and paddle boards since we didn't have an easy way to reach the water access, which is a slight walk from the house.

Cape Escape

Wonderful time at this home. Perfect escape especially for off season. House was immaculate. Master bed was very comfortable. Couches and living room were great! Very clean. Had essential like paper towels to get us started which was more than enough for our stay. Very quiet location. And we appreciated being able to bring our dog.

2 weeks in paradise

What a wonderful experience we had spending 2 precious weeks on the Cape with the surf shack as our home base! Location is perfect to go to so many breathtaking beaches (we bought a beach sticker for the bay beaches in Eastham and used it daily)... The house was spacious, clean and comfortable with a great kitchen to cook in every night. Friendly neighbors and a lovely little inlet to walk down to, plus fort hill right next door for more great walks. Thank you for everything and making our stay truly memorable.

Perfect getaway

Simply a great time at the Surf Shack! It started with Tara from Heart of Cape Cod. She was very responsive to my inquiry before booking as well as questions I had after we arrived. She told me the only thing we would need to bring is sunscreen and that was the truth! This home has everything you need and more. It was clean, updated, and in a quiet location. The best part of all was being able to bring our dogs along with us. Thanks so much! Can’t wait to return!

Private outer cape oasis

What a lovely fall retreat spot! We found the location so convenient to lots of mid-Cape and outer-Cape destinations and appreciated that the property was very private--there were some neighbors still in residence so it didn't feel isolated. On arrival, we found the house to be well-cleaned and the homemade cookies from Tara were a nice touch. Beds were incredibly comfortable and the water pressure was excellent. WiFi seemed reliable and the Roku TV was easy to navigate. Everything was very pet-friendly! The short walk to the neighborhood water access at the marsh was lovely this time of year-- definitely pack shoes you don't mind getting wet for exploring the shoreline. Don't miss the Fort Hill trails and overlook. We loved the house and look forward to visiting again!

Wonderful !

The Surf Shack Hideaway was the perfect home for our cape getaway . It was exactly as described on the website and the neighborhood was lovely and very peaceful . Listening to the various birds in the backyard every morning was such a treat & my golden doodle loved exploring the marshlands just a few minutes walk from the house . The modern kitchen was nice and well appointed with cookware, pots, pans and a variety of spices , We also loved the decor and the soothing colors in the living room with the sliding doors open letting the fresh breeze and light in . There were an abundance of books to read and games to play , fortunately we had excellent weather so we headed for the beautiful national seashores which are a short drive from the house . I have been coming to the Cape for the past fifty years and this location was absolutely wonderful !
