About this house rental
This beautiful and private 1800's house has been in the family for over 60 years. It was moved down from New Hampshire and rebuilt just prior to the 1938 hurricane. It is surrounded and next to over 17 acres of private and conservation dunes assuring an exceptionally intimate setting.
The Surprise House was so named as it came unexpectedly filled with antiques and of course, being such an old house, it is filled with nooks and crannies.
The main house has a Living Room, formal Dining Room, Kitchen, Pantry/hall and 3 bedrooms. The bedrooms are as follows:
1: Queen and full bath (tub/shower) on first floor.
2: Twin beds on second floor.
3: Another set of twins on second floor with full bath (shower) between rooms.
There is an additional half bath on the first floor.
Across the lawn there is an outbuilding called The 'Fish House' which sleeps from 4 plus. This is typically where children or one family will sleep. The Fish House has:
1: Two sets of bunk beds with a full on the bottom and twin on top. There are two extra single mattresses underneath the bunkbeds. Half bath outside in the barn and two outdoor showers, one enclosed, one open.
The Main House opens through French doors to a beautiful stone patio with flower and herb gardens and giant fish bowl (we don't keep fish in it anymore as the birds kept eating them). The patio boasts a grill and teak furniture to seat 12. This is where family and friends relax, cook, entertain and play games. A stone wall runs along the gardens and lawn for additional sitting. It is as wide as a yoga mat for those so inclined. The lawn is about 40 by 60 feet perfect for croquet, badminton, ball games or weddings! Wonderful for family gatherings and intimate parties up to 25 people. Larger parties such as Weddings up to 125 guests may be arranged for an additional fee.
In addition to the Main House and Fish House, there is the 'Barn' which houses adult bikes, kayaks and a sunfish. These are for your use as long as they are fresh water cleaned and returned. Assorted games, beach toys, kckboards and inflatables are also for your use.
The beach beckons. Beach combing, surf riding, creature catching, sand castle making, kayaking, sailing, and long walks down to the 'Point' where you can ride in and out with the tides at the mouth of the Great Sippewissett Marsh. Rest in the hammock at the top of the dunes and listen to the wind whistle. Western sunsets and evening bonfires.
When not beaching it, take a walk, run, bike or skate along the Shining Sea Bike Path which is just down the road. It runs all the way to Falmouth (4 miles) or Woods Hole (8 miles). You can also walk to the local market, cafe, organic ice cream shop or public library along the picturesque West Falmouth Harbor. This is a very special place indeed.
Please be advised: ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKING AND NO PETS ON PROPERTY.

What a great property! Perfect location to the beach and PRIVATE. So quiet. We loved our time in Falmouth at this historic house. The house and grounds are well cared for. Love the little touches throughout the house. Definitely felt like we stepped back in time and could relax, unwind and enjoy our time at the beach.

Our family couldn’t have spent our week together in a more perfect place! We enjoyed the patio and large yard and the easy access to a most beautiful beach where we spent our days and watched amazing sunsets at night. A truly memorable stay!

private beach, amazing location, exclusive and entirely fabulous
We have rented a number of places on Cape Cod and this one is hands down the BEST! The beach is yards away over a small dune, and it's essentially a private beach. It's close enough to the house to be sitting on the beach and hear a baby waking from a nap. The Bay here is mellow and the water great for swimming. The house is classic Cape Cod, rustic, with lots of bedrooms. The property is FABULOUS for kids, with a large yard for sports and playing, and a large outside living and eating area. We grilled fish and ate outside just about every night. Close to Shining Sea bikeway which is beautiful for running or biking. House has lots of adult bikes which is helpful. Falmouth proper not far by bike. With just slightly more effort, ride all the way down to Woods Hole. The owner is really nice and easy to deal with. Highly recommend this property, five stars. We'll be back again next summer, no need to look any further.
