The house is in a great central location for hitting the beach, restaurants, and other excursions. The house was very clean and is located on a very peaceful street. The property owner was very courteous, responsive, and helpful. It was an all around great experience.

Thanks so much! We are so glad you stayed with us and hoping to welcome you back again soon!
We enjoyed our stay here, the neighborhood was great - quiet and safe. Just a few houses away from the private beach. (Not really a place you would lay out in the Sun, but great for walks, and for children to play in shallow water.) Public beach is a short walk (take the road not the trail). Would have loved a throw blanket in the living room and some games!

Thanks so much for the suggestions. We appreciate the review!
I can't say enough about this cottage. Everything you would need was there for our week. Great location to the beach, Falmouth Commodores Games, great restaurants. Such a comfortable cottage with a fantastic outdoor shower we enjoyed everyday!! Owner kept in contact with us during our stay to see if we needed anything. Highly recommend!!!
This house was in amazing shape, the setup was perfect for entertaining and spending time with family. Is it located near the beach and plenty of restaurants. I would highly recommend for a family of 4 or 5.
Great location, right near a trail that i ran every morning down to the beach.
Right near Bristol Beach!
Clean and Cozy house!
Great central AC for when its hot, tv's in each room and dining/living room furniture. Outdoor shower, patio and BBQ were great to have as well.
5 mintues from Falmouth Main street!

Thank you Jason! We’re looking forward to welcoming you back.
We were very pleasantly surprised at how nice the property was and all the amenities that were included. Having Air Conditioning was an absolute must for us and the AC performed very nicely. The owners were in touch with us early on and very responsive if we had any questions. They were also nice enough to let us know that the property was ready three hours ahead of our scheduled check in and that worked out perfectly for us to get the extra time.
There is a beautiful coastline trail within walking distance and even a couple of small lake beaches that can be used. Another ocean beach is just a 15 minute walks away or a very short drive. The location is so central and so many things nearby.
Highly recommended!
We were so fortunate to find such a cute place last minute for a out of town family wedding. The house was immaculate and perfect for 5 people. Private beach a short walk away was wonderful to get toes in the sand for a bit. Owners kept in contact with us throughout the process - would highly recommend!
The house was very cute. The central air in the house and sunroom made things very comfortable. The beach, shopping and restaurants were 5-10 minutes away. The yard was perfect for relaxing.
Cute summer home rental, steps to walk down to beach
Lovely, really cute summer home rental! Location cannot be beat, relaxing sunroom for morning tea, enjoyable outdoor dining w gas BBQ w awning, central A/C, working wood stove, hi pressure shower, quiet year-round neighbors, steps to walk down to Great Pond beach area, easy bike/walk to Bristol Beach, neighborhood benches were great to watch the fireworks from, easy driving/biking to many stores: Falmouth Fish Market, TJX, HomeGoods, Shaw’s, Walmarts, Stop n Shop. Ferry to Martha's Vineyard/Nantucket also an easy ride via trolley or by car. Shining Sea Bikeway close by. Enjoyed the Falmouth Farmer’s Market with local artisans selling at the Falmouth Marine Park on Thurs afternoons. There is 4 hrs free electric vehicle charging at the marina. Terrific French bakery Maison Villatte and great shops in downtown Main St, along with weekend horse rides, and a carousel behind the Falmouth Library. Stacie communicates easily via text or email.
This is really a 5* property. I took a star off there’s no dishwasher, fridge is tired, washer/dryer access thru bulkhead and takes 1+hr/load (rained the days we needed to do laundry), the kitchen and bathroom while serviceable needs updating, no broom to sweep out 2 storm's debris on patio, owner/cleaning have to work out some kinks (although cleaning people came right away), and there’s new construction of a large home across the street.
There was fortunately no construction the July 4th week we rented, but we weren’t told of the possible noise, in advance, even though I emailed multiple times w the owner. As it's a vacation to get away from it all, construction noise would've been problematic. There’s probably another 3 months of construction beyond mid July 2021 as the windows/doors were not in. The pics didn’t show there’s a large white patio table and 6 chairs + bench along with a new outdoor shower.
We had a great stay! The house was clean, organized and had everything we could need. The hosts were communicative and helpful. And the location can’t be beat. I’d def rent from them again!
