We recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful home for a week. The home has everything you could need and more, is spotlessly clean, and is very well designed. We were a total of 9 (two families with a combined 5 children) and had a lot of space to relax in the home. The views from the porch are lovely -- nothing like sitting out there first thing in the morning with your coffee watching the sun dance on the water and birds fly past. Also nothing like opening the windows and listening to the ocean waves as you fall asleep....
The private beach (steps away) is shared with a few other homes, but was never crowded. The beach is quite small and a bit rocky but otherwise lovely.
The owner was incredibly helpful, from the very first email contact I made to inquire about the home, until even after we left. He initially talked with me about the home, its beach and the location, saying he wanted to make sure they matched what we were seeking in a rental. He then called a few days before our rental week to go over any questions I had and to give more details about the home. And then, after we left and realized we'd left three different items behind, he so kindly mailed them back to us. We've been renting on the Cape every summer for the past 9 or so years and not once have we had an owner be so thoughtful and helpful!
The location was quite private although there are houses everywhere around the home. It was only about an 8 minute drive into the Falmouth area, where we found Friendly's (a big hit for us, given that none of us had been to one in years since our town Friendly's had closed down!), Dairy Queen and multiple shops. And of course, downtown Falmouth, which is quaint with all of its boutiques, shops (including Black Dog) and restaurants.
After we left, we took the ferry (only an 8 minute drive from the home) over to the Vineyard and walked around for the day. It was really nice to be able to so easily get to the ferry and squeeze a few more hours out of our vacation!
If you are seeking an oceanfront, top-notch home with any amenity you could possibly need (including a standalone ice maker, and a cooler on the back porch in which to store cold drinks -- we used them from the moment we arrived!), with gorgeous ocean views, in a private, tranquil setting -- this is the vacation rental for you!
