Charming, Family Friendly and Convenient 4-Bedroom Cottage in Woods Hole

Welcome to Cape Cod! Our family friendly 4-bedroom cottage is the ideal summer retreat. The house sleeps 8 comfortably and offers plenty of indoor and outdoor space for relaxing, entertaining, and cooking. The first floor includes a living/dining room, kitchen, family room, 1 bedroom with full size bed, 1 bedroom with a bunk bed, master bathroom, and a convenient laundry room. The second floor includes two bedrooms (with full size beds) and a half-bath. Outside areas include a private back yard with a large brick patio and yard, great for BBQs and napping in the hammock.

The house is located within a 5-minute walk to a private neighborhood beach, which you will have full access to use. The neighborhood is quiet and wooded, with stately oaks and maples, providing lovely shade from the summer sun. The house is a 10-minute walk to the village of Woods Hole, which offers two public beaches, a lighthouse, and the ferry to Martha's Vineyard. Woods Hole also has restaurants and shops, an aquarium, and two major marine biology and ocean science research institutions. A charming summer vacation spot!

Trip to the MBL

We were a group of scientists attending a conference at the MBL. The house and location are perfect for this type of trip. Easy access to Woods Hole and the MBL in a very quiet spot.

Very nice house. Some complications with owner.

This is a very nice, well kept, and charming house. The kitchen is not adequate for serious cooking. The owners apparent preoccupation that everything be exactly right and requirement that the house be cleaned up in advance of departure (towels washed, beds stripped) before professional cleaner come in was off putting.

Fantastic Summer Getaway

We had a great stay and enjoyed being close to Woods Hole Village and the beach. The house is tidy and well equipped to handle a family (well setup kitchen, plenty of plates + utensils, linens etc.). This place is a great basecamp for summer adventures or to just hang out at.

Cozy House in the Perfect Spot

Our family of four spent a week here and absolutely loved it. The house is charming, with a rustic older half and a more modern 2-story addition. The older half has a lovely sitting room lined with bookshelves, and a kids room with plenty of fun games. The modern half has a large bathroom, TV room, and comfortable bedrooms. The whole place is great and nestled in a beautiful woodsy area of Cape Cod. We were able to walk to the center of Woods Hole (try Pie in the Sky - delicious!!), and getting to the beach was so easy. All the Falmouth beaches and Main Street are a quick drive away, too. Tania is an excellent host and was easy to reach (especially when a hurricane struck at the start of our trip!). We are so glad we stayed here.

Charming! A quintessential Cape Cod home.

My husband and I, along with my brother and sister in law, brought my mother to the Cape to celebrate her 80th birthday . The house is not only beautiful inside and out but is also conveniently located so that we were able to walk into town -this house is a true gem! My mother’s birthday celebration trip was a huge success, made so much more so because of the beautiful house we stayed in.

Great location short walk from the harbor in woods hole and far enough out to be a very quiet street

Peaceful and comfortable. Plenty of kitchen gear and bunks for a family summer cottage.

Beautiful Cottage in Woods Hole

We thoroughly enjoyed our week staying in this lovely cottage in Woods Hole. This comfortable cottage has everything needed to fully experience life in Woods Hole, with warm, well- appointed living spaces for meditating, reading, playing games, and dining. It is located on a quiet street within easy walking distance to the town and several beaches.
