Family Gathering

The house was ideal for our family stay. The unfinished basement was a big plus as it allowed for telework in quiet and rainy day activities. The location was convenient to all our events.

Cape Cod Summerspiel

Very nice home. Clean and comfortable. Great accomodations for our group of friends. Two couples and two single ladies. Everyone could have their own bedroom. Great location. Easy access to town, Mashpee Commons, restaurants, beaches and especially the curling club. Wally responded quickly when I had a question. I would certainly recommend this property. Thank you for accepting a stay that started on a Tuesday and ending on a Saturday.

Lovely home, very clean

Perfect size home for our needs. We stayed in Falmouth to celebrate my Nephew's wedding and the house was very clean, very homey and well equipped with everything we needed. The binder left for us had all the nearest stores, restaurants, etc and was a nice touch. Would absolutely stay here again. I really loved the Cape Cod Memories pictures in the kitchen area - sooo sweet.

Nice place to stay with responsive owner

House is great in a great place. Beds were unmade when we arrived due to communication mixup between owner and cleaning woman, but I contacted the owner who had his lovely cleaning woman come within the hour. All good. Owner was very responsive, and cleaning woman was great. No harm, no foul. I would rent here again. The place had everything we needed.

Girls Trip

Enjoyed the house and location. A few small items needed addressing. Lights were out, couldn't turn fan on. I think they need more information for guests. No towels were out, dishwasher needed to be unemptied which we didn't figure out for a day. Comfortable stay.

Clean and central w great backyard

I stayed at this property on a mom trip weekend. Spacious bedrooms. Clean and good quality furnishings. We loved how uncluttered it was. The backyard is huge and fenced in, and would be fantastic for the kids which we were taking a break from:) Close to Route 28 to get easily into Falmouth. Appreciated that there were some basic supplies in kitchen including good coffee. Quick and easy communication with owner. Good price for the time of year we were here in May.
