Falmouth Cape - Walk to Island Queen ferry to Martha's Vineyard, Beach, Downtown

LEAVE THE CAR in the driveway...
This cozy 4BR, 2BA Cape Cod home (sleeps 8) has a spacious patio, seasonal outdoor shower, and indoor fireplace and outdoor firepit. Centrally located in Falmouth, it is just a half mile walk to the beach, restaurants, and 200 yards to ferry to Martha’s Vineyard.(Island Queen Ferry is operational seasonally. For 2025 the ferry schedule runs (5/23 -10/13) There is a full year round ferry that's run from Woods Hole (Steamship authority) which is 5 miles from the house. There is also a direct Edgartown Ferry from the Harbor ( just a longer walk from house: falmouthedgartownferry. com ) You an also take the Bike path to Woods Hole to make for a great day trip.

The dining room table seats 6—a comfortable size should you wish to throw an inside dinner an additional 2 seat table in open kitchen allows for overflow...

Just off the dining room sits the kitchen, which has fully stocked with plenty of cooking pans, plates and utensils. Cooking is by gas propane and frig has ice making capabilities so no forgetting above filling the ice cube trays..The breakfast table for 2 is a perfect spot to plan your day’s adventures while sipping coffee—there’s a traditional coffee machine. .

The back door leads to a stone, furnished patio surrounded with perennials and trees. Yard also gets great morning and afternoon sunshine for chilling with a drink while also very private.

THE LOCATION

This Falmouth home is centrally located in a quiet neighborhood. You’re just a half mile to Falmouth Heights Beach and less than a 1/4 mile to Falmouth Harbor. Hop on the ferry to Martha’s Vineyard for an easy day trip or head to Woods Hole which is just 5 miles away. You are just off the 6th mile marker of the infamous Falmouth Road Race!

When you need to pick up groceries, you’re less than a 1/4 mile . ( Shaw's and Stop N Shop). Also the Windfall Market ( Falmouth's Whole Food equivalent) is a short walk from the house by the harbor and Falmouth's newest groecry store ALDI is now open and close to home.

Don’t feel like cooking? No problem—there are plenty of restaurants within walking distance. Head over to the Shipwrecked ( former British Beer Company) for a pub atmosphere and English fare. Or, for an upscale seafood treat with ocean views, try the Sopranos or house favorite Flying Bridge (both are a half mile away and right on the beach/harbor). Or venture downtown ( again 1/2 mile away) to a host of different eating options including Estia(Greek), Simply Devine (pizza), Bluefins ( sushi/Japanese), Anejo ( Mexican) and Liam Maguire's ( Irish) downtown.

Ice Cream your thing??? Dairy Queen is a stone throw away or head downtown to Falmouth's own Ben & Bills!!! Smitty's Ice Cream is a short 15 min ride.

Coffee your thing... the new Black Dog Cafe on Falmouth Height Road makes for a great morning walk but with the traditional other options like Starbucks and Dunkin and Pickle Jar to name a few are all within a half mile of house.

For rainy-day amusement, restaurants, shops, a movie theater, are not far!..also a couple of bowling / axe throwing alleys ( Trade Center Bowl & Ryans)

Property fee of $25 covers you for up to $1500 in damages.

Home from home in a beautiful location

I was celebrating a Big birthday by running the Boston Marathon. This home was the perfect place for myself and my husband to relax and unwind pre-race. We travelled from Boston by bus & explored the area using local buses and the bikes kindly provided.The house had everything that we needed and felt like home (only bigger and better). We absolutely loved our stay. Thankyou!

Girls weekend

The house was so clean and well stocked with all the necessities you would need. We loved it. Close to grocery stores, liquor stores and a short drive to downtown. We walked to the beach one day. Would recommend to anyone looking to visit Falmouth. There were 5 of us. Plenty of room for 8.

Excellent property!

Des has done a great job with this property. It was clean, smelled like the beach, and very coastal cozy! We stayed off season, but the home seems to have everything a summer visitor would need. The kitchen is fully stocked with supplies, there are linens available and the garage was packed with bikes etc. We had a great werkend.

Family vacation

This was our third stay at this property. The house is very clean, comfortable, and well stocked. The location is great- a nice walk to the beach, close to many stores, restaurants, etc. Des is very helpful and easily accessible by text- he has always answered any questions very quickly. A great place to stay!

Perfect for the Offseason

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.

Very Pleasant Stay

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.

Great stay in Falmouth

This was the nicest house that we have ever rented on the Cape and Islands. It felt like home. Quality furnishings and well stocked kitchen and we didn't even have to bring extra toilet paper. will hopefully stay here again. Was so close to beaches and the main street for shopping etc. Love this property!!!!!!

Incredible weekend

This house is absolutely incredible! Everything about it was perfect. It was cozy, had everything we needed and the location was a dream. The host was just as incredible as the house! Very welcoming and super helpful. Would highly recommend this house to anyone who is looking for a trip to the cape and interested in spending time at the beach and taking the ferry to the vineyard, the house is walking distance to both! The only downside was we didn’t stay long enough this trip but have already booked a full week next year and are counting down the days.

Great Place to Stay

We came to Falmouth for my sister's wedding and Des's place was perfect for me and my family. There was plenty of space and linens for everyone. The kids enjoyed the games provided. I wish we had more time to enjoy the amenities like bikes, beach gear, and outdoors space! My only suggestion would be to upgraded to keypad entry--although that would take away some of the charm of the older doors. We hope to visit again!
