Close to Woods Hole and Bike path

This property is close to Woods Hole (walking distance) and Bike path. Located on a very busy road (main road between Falmouth and Woods Hole.) The property equipment are dated and not very clean. This place have suffered from years of not being cleaned enough. Otherwise plenty of room. Leaving room is quite confortable.

The Cape

This house was pretty much what we expected when we booked. It was a landing pad for exploring the Cape. Th location was right up the road from Woods Hole which was awesome. We loved hiking the Knob and going to Nobska Lighthouse. The property just is pretty dated and not very clean. It was definitely straightened when we arrived, but it seems to have suffered from years of not being cleaned very well. However, we weren’t spending a lot of time there so it was still a good value for our trip.

Cute and comfortable

Communication with the host was excellent- he was responsive, made sure we were all comfortable, and answered all our questions. The only confusion that we had was a discrepancy between check-in times on the listing and what the host told us (an hour later for check-in and an hour earlier for check-out). We stayed for a weekend and this was a great middle ground between the beach and the downtown area. Took us about 15 minutes to walk to the beach, and less than a 5 minute car ride into downtown. The house itself is very cute and has tons of charm inside. The oven/stove is on the older side but we had no issues cooking. Lots of space to spread out and a great living room/dining area for when we wanted everyone together. The house is older, so it was a bit stuffy when we arrived, but we had no complaints. It was a perfect spot to recharge before heading back out to the beach or downtown.

Great location and a lot of space for everyone!!

This home was in a fantastic location to enjoy all that Wood's Hole and Falmouth have to offer. We walked to the beach and downtown within 20 minutes and also drove to Main Street in Falmouth (3 miles) and a few other fantastic beaches in Falmouth. The home had 4 good sized bedrooms that fit our families needs. The bedrooms were cozy and clean and the bathroom was a good size. The kitchen was on the smaller side but the dining, living and outdoor deck made up for it, giving us the opportunity to spread out. The only downfall was that the yard was a overgrown but the owner said that a landscaper was set to come soon. Overall, a great value for the price.

Fantastic stay!

Loved the close proximity to the ferry and Falmouth! We had a wonderful dinner in Woods Hole, and lovely walk to the beaches. The house is very clean and home-y. The kitchen is vintage and the original woodwork is fantastic. Patrick was very responsive to our questions.

What makes this property unique

The ferry is minutes away. The bus goes right by the house. There is an aquarium and playground down the street and loads of food venues. The ARTS and Music have a strong presence in this scientific community also.
