In Falmouth's Historic District and on the Falmouth Road Race route, central AC, hardwood floors, dishwasher, washer & dryer, Webber gas grill, porch with cool ocean breeze, Samsung flat-screen TV, gas fireplace, beautifully landscaped surroundings, picnic tables, 8-minute walk to town or harbor, 2-minute walk to beach, close to Shining Sea Bike Path, Spohr Gardens and Martha's Vineyard ferries. Four bicycles are provided for free (each would be $100 per week at Falmouth rental rates).
The Neighborhood: This is a year-round established neighborhood in Falmouth's Historic District. It is cooled by pleasant sea breezes, making the porch an especially delightful spot to enjoy a book and a beverage. The location is ideal for the biking enthusiast, being a short ride to the Shining Sea Bike Path which connects picturesque Wood's Hole with North Falmouth (12-14 miles each way). If you are a coffee nut and like to spend time over great coffee, I recommend the Coffee Obsession. There is one in Woods Hole another in the 'Queens Buyway' in Falmouth center. Also highly recommend 'Pie in the Sky' in Woods Hole for breakfast sandwiches and great coffee. From the house it is a short walk to Falmouth Harbor, where the Clam Shack provides great eating while you sit and watch the boat traffic in and out of the harbor.
Falmouth Center: The center of Falmouth is an 8-minute walk. The town library, which has a large selection of DVD's, wifi, and a great selection of books. There is a variety of restaurants along main street catering to varied tastes. Park your car in the driveway for the week. Bike and walk. While you can drive a couple miles to Stop and Shop or Shaws supermarket, I recommend biking or walking the Windfall Market, across from the harbor, for your shopping. If you're a bargain shopper, Falmouth has a WalMart, Christmas Tree Shop and Ocean State Job Lot.
Golf: There are a number of great golf courses in the area. My favorite is Cape Cod Country Club, followed by Falmouth Country Club. Check out their websites for details.
We had a wonderful time-thanks!
Enjoyed this property and its proximity to the beach. The owner has thought of everything - house is very well supplied and clean as a whistle. We hope to return soon.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dennis & Claire's Cape Cod cottage. The location was perfect for walking to the beach and into town. The kitchen was very well equipped, the beds were comfortable, and the living area was large enough for four adults. The outside porch was perfect for sitting and taking in the breezes. The house was impeccably clean. Linens, bath towels and beach towels were provided and plentiful. The hosts were totally responsive to our inquiries and provided suggestions and recommendations for our stay. We would book a stay again.
Exactly as described and better! So close to the beach, which is a great beach, not crowded. Everything you need is there, house is clean, private, comfortable and gives you the cottage feel that you want when you're visiting the Cape. If you have a smaller family I would highly recommend this house. We will hopefully be back! My 8 year old daughter made me promise to ask everyone to be nice to the rabbits- she made close friends with them haha :) Thanks Dennis- you're an excellent host- thanks for sharing your special home.
The house is in a great location. It's very small. Nice to have bikes available, although they are at the bottom of steep steps in the basement, and only 2 are any good. No beach chairs provided. But the major problem is the attitude of the owners. They are abrasive, and even nasty if you ask polite questions like I see there is only one key, would you like me to make a copy so you have two? Also, you are required to clean when you leave to the standard you found it, but they don't tell you that it was professionally cleaned before you arrived, and a cleaner comes after you to clean it. So they are making you work your butt off to clean it to a professional standard for no other reason than I want it double cleaned! Ridiculous! You don't want to deal with people like this on your vacation.
This is an amazing house. The location can't be beat, walking distance to Surf Drive beach, 1.4 miles to the Shining Sea bike Path.The house is immaculate bright and cheery. The kitchen has everything you need and good quality. The outdoor shower is lovely. The neighborhood is great. We met many of the locals and everyone was so welcoming. We can't wait to come back again
2nd year, cute house doesn’t disappoint.
Great location. Awesome house w all the amenities. Beautiful porch and a lovely yard full of bunnies. Will definitely stay here again!
We loved the house! Very clean and cozy! The kitchen is fully stocked and Dennis was wonderful to work with. The porch was our favorite spot. Close to the beach, bike path and Main Street. Highly recommend! Stephanie
We absolutely loved the charm of this cottage and left with many wonderful memories from our time on the property- cozy breakfasts in the kitchen, dinners at the picnic table, refreshing outdoor showers, and passing time reading or playing on the porch. The location also could not be better-both in walking distance of the beaches and Main St... we didn't even have to get in the car to enjoy some of the best spots Falmouth!
