About this property
Central Woods Hole Village Waterfront: Summer Booking!!
**Pets and events are prohibited with no exceptions.** Commonwealth of Massachusetts recommended COVID-19 protocols now in effect, including: independent (passcode) check-in; thorough cleaning & disinfecting; on premises high temperature laundering; natural ventilation from the gentle breezes coming off of Mill Pond; provision of hand sanitizer and disinfectant cleaning supplies for guests; and PPP employed by our professional and dedicated cleaners.
New for 2020: we have upgraded our WiFi speed to super-fast 600 mbps, and installed a whole-house, backup generator so that the house will never lose any power, even in the event of storm-related damage to the Cape electric grid.
We love Woods Hole and think you will too! It has a truly unique ambiance and mix of tranquility, as well as accessibility. Once you park (or arrive via express bus from Boston), you will find everything you need within a short walk. These are approximate walking distances: Stony Beach (2 minutes); Woods Hole park and playground (3 minutes); center of town and Aquarium (5 minutes); and Martha's Vineyard ferry, the start of the Shining Sea Bikeway , the shuttle to Falmouth Center, and the bus stop (7 minutes). Stony Beach is famous for its gentle slope to the warm Buzzards Bay waters, which is perfect for children, and adults, alike. We provide both adult and children's kayaks and a paddle board which can easily be carried for use off of the beach (with adult supervision of children). Families, in particular, will enjoy the easy access to the park, including play structure, swings, beach volleyball, tennis courts, and baseball diamond. At the Aquarium, guests can check out the sea lions and some of the work of the local marine biologists. In town, there are wonderful restaurants, including Captain Kidd, the Landfall, and Pie in the Sky (whose made-from-scratch bread pudding is out of this world!). Those who like to bicycle will be especially happy at our home, not only given the beauty of Woods Hole and surrounding areas, but also because it is the start of the 10-mile-long Shining Sea Bikeway, which passes along the ocean, cranberry bogs and beautiful salt sea ponds and marshes. Day trips to Martha's Vineyard are easy from Woods Hole, whether on foot or on bike. The ferry leaves regularly and only costs approximately $7 each way. Our home was newly-renovated and includes 600 mbps high speed internet, and 2 large screen televisions with hundreds of free channels, including HBO, and an abundance of free on-demand offerings. The home is complemented throughout with original artwork from artists featured in the French gallery, Carre d'artistes. The furnishings are all brand new and feature a large sectional sofa and dining room chairs, all upholstered in supple leather. One only has to look out the window or off the deck to take in the wildlife present in and around Mill Pond, a location popular with bird watchers. Enjoying the view is made easy by the comfortable deck dining table and adjacent gas grille. We understand that plans sometimes change, and are, therefore, happy to grant net refunds, however, only to the extent that the house can be re-rented on the same net terms. Please reach out should you have any questions or concerns about this policy.

Great home in a perfect location! Short walk to town and the beach. We spent so much time on the deck that overlooks the beautiful pond. The hosts were responsive and it’s clear they like to provide their guest with a wonderful experience. Would highly recommend for your next trip to Woods Hole! We will be back!
We had a wonderful time at Leonardo’s place. There was plenty of space, everything was clean, amenities were stocked, and there were toys for the kids to play with. The location was perfect, walking distance to the beach and the town. We also appreciated that they left us a bottle of wine to enjoy during our stay!
I recently stayed at this Woodhall rental and I was impressed with the cleanliness and comfort of the property. The rental was well-maintained and had all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. The location was also very convenient, with easy access to shops and restaurants nearby.
Property is well maintained and fully stocked with amenities - we appreciated the use of the children's toys and beach towels. Walking distance to aquarium and quaint downtown area.
Had a great two night stay with two young kids. Location is excellent, easy walk to the beach, restaurants/market, and playground. House was very clean and comfortable, great space for kids to play, and plenty of children books for us to read. And a really nice view of the pond. Next time we return to WH, we'll be looking to renting here again!
Our stay was made easy and comfortable in this well-appointed home. The location allows for easy walking access to all that the area offers. Birding from the deck or the many windows is special. The beds are very comfortable; the kitchen is fully equipped. We would happily return to this house.
So close to Stoney Beach and a 5 minute walk to Eel Pond, Pie in the Sky Bakery and a park with swings-we had a relaxing week with no need to get in a car (though we did take a trip to a grocery store 15 minutes away). The house was very clean, with everything we needed including a well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds.
The property is in a great location to walk to all of the interesting places in Woods Hole. This made a great home base for exploring Cape Cod, we enjoyed waking up each morning and enjoying the ducks on Mill Pond, our son loved the beach and playground that are both a short walk from the house. They have anything you could need in the cabinets and we appreciated the stools in the bathroom for the littles ones as well as the toy box that kept our son busy while hanging out at the house.

We are especially grateful to those of our guests who are able to find the time to review their stays at our house. We are happy to learn that Saeed and his large family enjoyed their stay. As for the yard, it is exactly as is depicted in our listing photos. We invite and encourage any potential future guests to reach out with any questions that they may have about our property and its surroundings. We want our guests' stays to be memorable, and we dedicate ourselves to that end.
This is probably the best vacation house we have ever rented. In addition to its perfect location in Woods Hole footsteps from Stony Beach and town, there are so many thoughtful amenities the owners provided to make staying there relaxing and comfortable -- mini-split air conditioning in each room, king beds, big new fridge, two full baths, and lovely deck where we ate and bird-watched. Also we appreciated what house didn't have -- no pet hair, no mold, no mildew, nothing broken. We're thankful for terrific stay and hope to return.
Woods Hole was a wonderful place to visit. So many things are within walking distance - the beach, restaurants, coffee shops, museums, and aquarium. This home is perfect for a family vacation. Spacious, lots of amenities in the home, and even toys for children! The view from the windows and deck was absolutely beautiful. The hosts were responsive and understanding. I would definitely come again!
Leo & Marielisa's home was the perfect location to relax and unwind. Comfy beds, plenty of space, gorgeous views! Hosts were excellent at communicating & very kind. Home was clean & had everything we needed. Thank you again! I will definitely be back!

Why they chose this property
After spending 25 years on different parts of the Cape, we fell in love with Woods Hole, for its ambiance, friendliness and ability to offer so much to a diverse age and cultural demographic. Marine biologists, graduate students, fishermen, beatniks, authors, financiers, vacationers . . . Woods Hole has them all, amid the stunningly unique backdrop of this Cape Cod port village. The ambiance is warm, welcoming, refreshing and, above all, unique.
What makes this property unique
You’ll love our home because its newly-renovated, modern and open layout, with spectacular views of Mill Pond, and given its tranquil, yet very central location, within walking distance of everything that you will need to make your vacation truly memorable.
We are happy to facilitate the payment of weekly summer rentals in two installments: one due at booking and the balance in the spring.
