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.

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 down town ( again 1/2 mile away) to a host of different eating options! My favorite place is C Salt on 28 again not far from house but reservations recommended or Estia 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 alleys ( Trade Center Bowl & Ryans)

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

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.

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!

This Cape Cod Cottage was exactly as described and was clean and comfortable! The beds were very comfy and we had everything we needed (except washcloths so make sure you bring yours). The check in/out was very clear and easily understood and the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. The house is convenient to so many things. We would definitely stay here again!

We can’t say enough about this property! It’s the best we’ve stayed in. The host has provided anything and everything a guest could need. Check in was simple and the house was easy to find. Falmouth is the perfect place to call home while exploring the Cape. The necessities r close by and the host recommended great places to eat nearby. We cooked in, relaxed at night and burnt the fireplace. Spring weather kept us from using the fire pit and grill, but it’s there if u need it!! It’s a super cute, super clean house that sleeps 8 people. I would recommend it to anyone!!
