About this property

Steps away from Craigville Beach. Riverfront! Your own private bird sanctuary!

FALL (second summer) 2026. You deserve a waterfront retreat!
PERHAPS THE MOST AFFORDABLE DIRECT WATERFRONT ON CAPE COD! CERTAINLY ONE OF THE MOST CHARMING AND CONVENIENT! Welcoming one bedroom unit (in 2 unit home) w/ cathedral ceiling great room, private deck and amazing views! Nature Lover's Dream. Watch the osprey and herons and swans, a very bucolic setting, yet just 484 steps up the private drive is spectacular Craigville Beach.
Updated kitchen 1.5 baths. Outdoor grill and firepit, spacious deck, central air. WONDERFUL! For some reason VRBO says six minute walk to beach, it really is about 90 seconds...
Cape Cod! Visit our beaches, breweries, vineyards, hiking trails, fabulous restaurants AND shopping! Check out all you can do, cut and paste the link below.:

The apartment was larger than we expected, and filled with light from the skylight and sliding glass doors facing a peaceful, bird-filled estuary. (think: herons, kingfishers, cormorants, ducks, hawks, and more)A real plus was the complete quiet of the place, despite being located only a few hundred yards down the lane from the highway next to popular Craigville Beach.This place is great !

Tranquility

Beautiful place and location for a quiet and relaxing getaway. The outdoor fire pit is a major plus at night and a short walk across the street to the beach. The hosts were very accommodating and wonderful! Would highly recommend for solo travelers or couples.

Wonderful Location

This place was in the best location for all the things we wanted to do on Cape Cod. It is also a very short walk to the beach. Evan and Sara were the best and very responsive to any questions we had. This place is also an absolute dream for birdwatchers but make sure you bring your binoculars!

Great location and comfortable property

We really enjoyed our stay on Cape Cod. The property was comfortable and well-maintained. Beautiful view off the back deck. Great location to use as a home base for excursions to beaches, Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. It's a short drive to ferries. The owners were helpful and very responsive.

We were in town just to relax and unwind, this property is absolutely fantastic. Very quiet and peaceful. Reasonable pricing, hosts are amazing and are close by. We will definitely be back.

Loved this hidden gem

We had a wonderful stay in Cape Cod. This was our first time visiting the Northeast and we are in love! The property was beautiful and just a short drive to Hyannis for great meals and shopping. We walked to the beach and sat on the deck enjoying the birds and view. Management was close and had great suggestions for dinner and entertainment. The property itself was fully equipped with everything we needed. I was nervous about the required deposit but the reviews were so good on this property I trusted the process and was credited the deposit the same day we checked out. I would 100% stay at this property again.

Great place on the Cape!

Overall location was pretty much in middle of the Cape so easy access to everywhere! Very close to the ferry terminal to Marthas Vineyard which was convenient! Right across street from beach, definitely walkable and view from back is absolutely beautiful. I sat outside several mornings and watched the ducks fly in/around, simply beautiful! Property manager was very quick to respond and super helpful with local recommendations! Spacious for a couple and very clean with everything you could need there to use. 1/2 bath was nice for an extra restroom and washer/dryer was a plus. Bed was firmer then we were used but still nice with nice blankets/pillows. Bedroom heater/fireplace was nice! Hot water for days as well. Overall would absolutely stay here again and definitely recommend it!

Perfect Autumn Escape

Another relaxing escape to Heron’s Reach. This was our third visit and we fully enjoyed this perfect location. We’re always happy when we arrive at this clean and comfortable home nestled between the beach and estuary. We love to linger over our meals as we observe the bird activity on the salt marsh. Fresh lobster meat from Cape Fish & Lobster made the best homemade lobster rolls ever. Evan & Sara are extremely accommodating hosts. When we informed them that we found the coffee maker was cracked, a new one was on our doorstep within a couple of hours. Once we finally break away from the view, we enjoy the many hiking opportunities in the area. The AllTrails app is our favorite hiking companion. We even got a little cycling in this time! And a sunset stroll on the beach is the best way to top off a relaxing day.

This place is truly special

On a quiet little dirt road but directly across from Craigville Beach (on foot, you’re about three minutes from the ocean). In other words, the best of both worlds: sand and waves in one direction and a gorgeous marsh and riverscape in the other. The views from the unit and deck are stunning: beautiful light on the marsh grass and water, lots of birds. Literally silent during our entire stay. So, so peaceful and yet so conveniently located (in one direction, Hyannisport is about five minutes, the ferry to the Vineyard or Nantucket maybe twelve; in the other, local favorite Four Seas Ice Cream and other Centerville spots are about four minutes). Beautifully renovated and attractively furnished, light and airy, with bright white walls and ceilings. The glass slider to the deck, combined with the windows over the sink, provide maximum access to the magnificent view. The main room, which combines kitchen, dining area, and living room, feels much larger than it is, because of the very high vaulted ceiling and well-placed skylights. We have done many short-term rentals in recent years and have rarely found a place a that hits the target the way this one does. Plus the price is right: no gouging here, it's worth every penny. Thank you for that! And Sara is an excellent communicator, very friendly and pleasant but very respectful of one's privacy. I've never seen anything quite like this place. We loved it and will be back as soon as we are able.

Great place to stay

We stayed here for about a week while we explored the Cape Cod area. The place was just as described and very comfortable and welcoming. We had a couple questions about our stay and the owners responded immediately and helped us out. No complaints at all about the house. Just a heads up if you or your partner moves a lot while sleeping the bed does make noises every time you move.

Wonderfully Peaceful Property

My husband and I were fortunate enough to spend an entire week at Evan and Sara's property. We enjoyed every single moment while there. The cottage itself is a little slice of heaven, with breathtaking views from every window, an abundance of natural light, and every amenity that one could possibly need. The location is slightly off the main road so it's private, quiet, and serene, but close enough to town for dining and shopping. Thank you, Evan and Sara, for a long overdue 25th wedding anniversary vacation. It was well worth the wait and we dream of returning someday.

Return to Heron’s Reach

This was our second visit to Heron’s Reach. It was just as peaceful and comfortable as our first visit in the fall. Such a perfect location for bird watching, beach walking, and accessibility to many local trails for hiking. We enjoyed most of our meals at “home” since you can’t find a better view at any restaurant. We’re looking forward to our next visit in the fall.

Great weekend stay

Just stayed Memorial Day weekend and had great time. House is perfect size for a couple, so much better than getting a hotel room. Was clean and had nice kitchen that we made all our breakfasts. Location was perfect, very close to beach, but the deck out back had a beautiful view, could spend all day there. Ten minutes to Hyannis and it’s restaurants. Hope to be back.
