    The kitchen was well equipped and clean. There were four of us at any given time, and we ate almost all our meals in. There were plenty of plates, mugs and glasses, although we could have used more silverware. Very convenient location on a quiet side street. We walked into town, to shops, stores and to the beach. Good lighting throughout and night lights in the bathrooms - much appreciated. Plenty of towels. The heating was a little uneven. Being March and below freezing at night, the second floor bedrooms were a little cool. Good check-in and check-out information.

Even some lobster pots which we took advantage of. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this comfortable home with plenty of room for everyone. We wish we could have taken advantage of the backyard but weather didn’t cooperate. Highly recommend this home.

    Everything about this home is wonderful! Though not huge, it has substantial space for anything you'll need to do. The kitchen is stocked with dishes and pans and all you need plus spices and some cooking ingredients. Available are two full baths and four separate bedrooms, a dining room plus a small table and two chairs in the kitchen, cozy living room for hanging out and watching tv, back porch with table and chairs and chairs to relax and enjoy the beautiful yard. Love the shelf of books to borrow or add to, many maps and local guides and restaurant menus. Checking in and out was easy. Hope to say again!

    Location was a big plus for us. We appreciated having only a 7-minute walk to the Martha’s Vineyard ferry, and having the downtown and restaurants nearby. We loved shopping in downtown Falmouth. Walking on the nearby beach, eating Wednesday evening’s lobster special at The Raw Bar for under 20!!! There were plenty of fans to help with the Indian summer heat. We felt right at home. The beds were comfortable and we had plenty of towels, TP, and Kleenex. Our host was immediately available when we had a question about the heat and seemed appreciative and receptive to minor items needing her attention to insure her future guest would have as nice of a time there as we did.

    Two friends and I enjoyed our stay in early March. Even in late winter the house has a cozy vibe, and there was plenty of space for the three of us. The rugs and towels were well-maintained. We didn't take advantage of the fireplace or firepit, but there were ample supplies in case we wanted to. Very clear directions and procedures for arrival/checking out, and the owner was quick to answer my questions. If we come back to Cape Cod we'd definitely come back to this house.

    This place has everything you need for a very pleasant stay in Falmouth. Communication was great. Check-in was flawless once I figured out which key was which. The location is in a nice quiet neighborhood and just minutes from everything anyone could need, including a GREAT patisserie/boulangerie that I wish we would have found two days earlier. The house itself is a bit older with a few minor, older house issues, none of which are bothersome at all. It is very well equipped. None of the nit-picks I have about the place amount to anything. I was traveling with my adult daughter, so having separated sleeping and bathroom areas was a plus for us. I would certanly book this again if we were to return to Cape Cod.
