We are eager to share our place for just a few weeks during the summer so that you can relax and have a great vacation too!
David and Melanie were amazing hosts. Everything was very clean, organized and nothing was lacking. Would love to stay again.
The house is perfect! It is situated in a beautiful neighborhood and a quick walk to the neighborhood beach. The house was updated and had all the necessities you would need in the house as well as for the beach. The fenced in yard was a plus for our 2 toddler boys to run around and play. Nice patio, outdoor shower, grill and fire pit are also great. There is plenty of room for parking. Bigger beaches and downtown Falmouth are a 10-20 minute car ride away. Tons of stores and restaurants in the area. We paid for the Sea Coast Shores Club House, but never had a chance to go down and use the facilities there. Between going to the beaches, exploring all Falmouth has to offer and taking long walks around the beautiful neighborhood, there was no time left for us to check out the clubhouse. The owners of the house (Michael and Melanie) are great! They communicated promptly to any questions we had and also notified us that the house was available for an early check in. All in all perfect house, for a perfect vacation! We will definitely rent this house again! Thank you Michael and Melanie!
This house was by far the most well equipped than the houses we have rented in the past. The hosts Melanie and Michael were super in answering all of our questions and very welcoming!
Comfortable House with everything we needed and well located to the beach.
The house was just as described, very clean & spacious. We had a great time going to Old Silver Beach during the day & to visit family for dinner. The house came with bikes, beach chairs, cooler, beach toys etc..everything you need for a fun day at the beach. The beds were very comfortable & closets had plenty of room to hang up clothes or you could use the bureaus in the room. Outside is set up nicely with a table & chairs to sit outside for dinner or you can sit around the fire pit (which has chairs also) and make s’mores. Overall we had a great vacation & plan to rent here again next year.
Great stay, had everything we needed! Convenient location. Beach was smaller than anticipated but larger beaches nearby. We will be back.
The house was very clean and comfortable. Private beach was nice for the little ones and close enough to town. Hosts were very kind and considerate.
This is the second time we stayed at Melanie and Michael’s home. Our stay was comfortable and roomy, the kayak was fun to use, and a short walk to the beach was convenient. Would recommend to others staying in Falmouth.
My husband and I just returned from a 3-night stay and had such a fabulous time at Michael and Melanie's cottage! The check-in process was easy and the beach house was spotless when we arrived. The cottage is fully stocked with everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable and the out-door shower was perfect for after the beach. We rode bikes on the Shiny Sea bike path, took the kayak out several times and had a beach day at Old Silver. The private beach is perfect for little ones. Within a short walk, you can see the sunrise on one side and the sunset on the opposite side. The location is perfect, much to do within a short ride including the ferry to MV, the Cape Cod Winery, Mad Marthas Brewery, Seafood Sams, and the Flying Bridge to name a few. There is also a fish market down the street and Moonikas, a local breakfast place that is so so good! We certainly made the most of our time and would absolutely rent this cottage again. Thank you M & M for hosting us!
We had an amazing time staying at Melanie and Michael's home in East Falmouth. We traveled to Cape Cod from Maine with our three year old son, as well as my husband's sister, her husband, and their two year old son. The home was incredibly clean and perfectly appointed for our two small families. Each couple was able to have a sizeable bedroom, and the kids were able to share the bedroom that had a twin trundle bed. The two living rooms provided ample space for us to spread out, watch a movie on a rainy night, play games and puzzles with the kids, and not feel cramped. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed for a week away from home as we love cooking and spent most nights having dinner out on the beautiful back patio. A bonus for us was a fenced in yard for the kiddos where they could ride their scooters in the driveway, swing in the hammock, and play. We loved that Melanie and Michael offered us a guest membership to the Seacoast Shores Association club house and pool. We often spent mornings at the local Association beach or another area beach, and then afternoons relaxing at the pool with the kids. The temperature was consistently in the high 80s and 90s when we were visiting, and having central AC at the house was such a treat as we knew we had a place to escape the sun when we needed to. In addition to their beautiful home, Melanie and Michael were so responsive to my many questions ahead of time. They were always quick to respond and offered some great suggestions to us as we planned our week away. Melanie also made a point to check in with us about how things were going and was responsive when we had the occasional question during our stay. I can't recommend this home highly enough and we look forward to renting it again in the future!
Melanie and Michael were communicative, responsive, and helpful. We lost power twice during our stay and they called the power company to ensure power was restoration times and checked to be sure we were doing well. The location is close to many nice places to visit if you don’t mind 10-15 minutes of driving each way. The local beach is quaint and young children might like the water play. Our children preferred larger beaches nearby. We enjoyed our week here and the kayak to paddle to Washburn island was a definite bonus. Overall, the house was rough around the edges. Our son has food allergies so we have to cook most meals and this kitchen was a challenge. Many of the dishes hadn’t been used in a while so we had to wash them first as they were a little sticky. and the house had a musty smell. All said, we would book again but would look for a more convenient location first.
