Girls Trip

Enjoyed the house and location. A few small items needed addressing. Lights were out, couldn't turn fan on. I think they need more information for guests. No towels were out, dishwasher needed to be unemptied which we didn't figure out for a day. Comfortable stay.

Nice place to stay with responsive owner

House is great in a great place. Beds were unmade when we arrived due to communication mixup between owner and cleaning woman, but I contacted the owner who had his lovely cleaning woman come within the hour. All good. Owner was very responsive, and cleaning woman was great. No harm, no foul. I would rent here again. The place had everything we needed.

Great Place! Great Stay!

A wonderful house in a great little section of Falmouth. We felt close to everything- able to quickly get around to town, the beach, and shops. The house is bigger than the photos show. There was ample room for 8 adults and a toddler to spend a weekend. The house was clean and stocked with the little things that were needed. The house had ample parking. My connections with Wally were all very easy and professional. He was very helpful in clarifying the things we needed to do in checking out properly. We will look here again when we visit the area.

Great location. We were in Falmouth for a 70 year birthday party. Accommodations were great. Two minor criticisms-we ran out of propane for the grill (1st day) and the lawn wasn't mowed.

Girls weekend

The house was in a great location and was clean. It suited our needs for a girls weekend. The only things to make it better would have been blinds for all the bedroom windows and a more comfortable bed in one of the downstairs bedrooms.

Lovely home, very clean

Perfect size home for our needs. We stayed in Falmouth to celebrate my Nephew's wedding and the house was very clean, very homey and well equipped with everything we needed. The binder left for us had all the nearest stores, restaurants, etc and was a nice touch. Would absolutely stay here again. I really loved the Cape Cod Memories pictures in the kitchen area - sooo sweet.

A little disappointed

Owner was responsive during rental process. Had enough space for 4 of us. Overall, was OK for our 2 nights. But disappointed as home could have been cleaner. Didn’t want to sit on back porch as chairs were pretty dirty. Front bedroom had no window coverings, except for a valance facing the street. Not as nice as pictures. Would be a great rental if updated.

Clean and central w great backyard

I stayed at this property on a mom trip weekend. Spacious bedrooms. Clean and good quality furnishings. We loved how uncluttered it was. The backyard is huge and fenced in, and would be fantastic for the kids which we were taking a break from:) Close to Route 28 to get easily into Falmouth. Appreciated that there were some basic supplies in kitchen including good coffee. Quick and easy communication with owner. Good price for the time of year we were here in May.
