charming and convenient
On a busy road, as others indicated, but we biked and walked--to beaches, the store, ice cream--everywhere we needed to have a great vacation. Very comfortable. Many thanks!

Great Location/Needs Upgrades
This location was excellent. Close to ice cream shop, market, walking trail, and beach. The house itself appears quaint, but needs some major upgrades throughout and more comfortable furniture and stronger internet. No soap, shampoo, or other bathroom. Children complained about internet connection, especially upstairs, and about how uncomfortable beds were. Recommend clearer directions for use of the TV.

Nice place
Well kept house and even though on a busy road, no noise from road in bedrooms. Although there are a lot of bedrooms, it would suit a single family best. Would be good to have layout on site to make this clear. Good access to West Falmouth Market and Shining Sea trail. Host is very easy to work with and very helpful!
