Coffee your thing... the new Black Dog Cafe on Falmouth Height Road makes for a great morning walk but with the traditional other options like Starbucks and Dunkin and Pickle Jar to name a few are all within a half mile of house. For rainy-day amusement, restaurants, shops, a movie theater, are not far!..also a couple of bowling alleys ( Trade Center Bowl & Ryans) Property fee of $25 covers you for up to $1500 in damages.

Where do we even begin. My two friends and I rented this space while on a girls trip to Cape Cod. It’s a great location and a lovely home. We felt so comfortable, safe, and happy here. It’s hard not to feel relaxed in this beautiful home. The owners were gracious and so helpful with anything we had questions on or needed. I’ve already recommended this location to friends and family. If you’re considering it, it’s an amazing place to visit!

4 of us playing as part of a golf trip with 48 guys. We decided to stay in a house rather than hotel. Great choice. House was clean, central to restaurants. It was nicely appointed and made for a pleasant stay and experience. Host was very accommodating.

This is by far the BEST VRBO rental we have had. The home is immaculately clean and appeared that the interior was freshly painted. Or party included my husband, myself, my son and our 9 year old granddaughter.
Everything we needed for cooking, cleaning and playing were organized so well that it was very easy to intuit where things would be.
We cooked all of our meals there. A wonderful fresh seafood market is very close by as were three grocery stores and our granddaughter loved walking to the Dairy Queen.
We walked and biked to the beach daily. We brought our own bikes but will leave them home the next time we rent. The house comes with many good bikes for every size person ( I’m 6’2”).
Falmouth Heights Beach is wonderful and getting there from the house with children is a breeze. Very close, few cars and most of the walk is on a sidewalk along a lovely town greenway.
It was hard to pull our granddaughter away from the fun provided at the house. We enjoyed the board and parlor games provided each evening and a warm fire in the indoor fireplace.
During the days, we all got very good at Corn Hole, loved reading on the comfy lawn chairs, sitting by the outdoor fire pit at night and loved eating our meals on the patio table.
This is a great spot for families. We will be back! Thank you Des!

What a wonderful cottage in Falmouth-- roomier than it appears from the outside, bright and sunny, with two more bedrooms up a steep flight of stairs, a nice dining room, cozy living room filled with toys and games, and one of the best-stocked kitchens I've ever seen.
The rocky beaches of Falmouth are all within a 10-15 minute drive, and the cottage is located in a nice, safe, quiet neighborhood a 3 minute walk to the nearest Starbucks. Lovely flower-filled backyard. Owner Des couldn't be nicer or more communicative. The family and I loved it-- we will be back!

The house was wonderful! There was,plenty of room and we loved all of the windows to let light in. The location was perfect for going into town or heading out to other locations on the cape.it was only about an hour to Boston so we went there for the day, as well. The house is well cared for and has all the amenities you coukd ever need. Des was wonderful with communication before, during, and after our stay. We would definitely like to stay again!

Comfortable, clean, well stocked house in a great location. Nice, quiet neighborhood- very close to many restaurants, shops, and beaches- many within walking distance. Des was a great host- responded quickly to any questions- left clear instructions for everything in the house manual, which made checking in and out very easy. Thank you Des for a relaxing family vacation!

We are a family of 5 (two adults, one grandparent, and two kids aged 4 & 6) and the house was perfect for us for a getaway in February. The house is VERY well stocked with everything we needed in the bathrooms and kitchen. Even kids soap! Cooking staples in the pantry and great dishes, bowls, serving items. Great games and books in the living room for all ages. Beds were SO comfy! And blankets were warm and plentiful. Towels were soft and luxurious. Heat worked great. We were all very warm, comfy, and very relaxed and happy all weekend :) Owner was easy to communicate with and gave lots of great suggestions for nearby kids activities and restaurants, which we visited and can verify were great! Beach was close by but given it was snowing out we just checked it out and did a quick walk. Overall, we couldn't have been happier with the house, it was perfect!!

Home was so accommodation for our “Girls Weekend”. We had plenty of space to accommodate all the festivities. Sleeping arrangement was perfect especially with the 4 twin beds upstairs. Close to downtown and shopping and restaurants. We also had an Axe throwing competition at Timber Axe and Bowl. So much fun. Would certainly love to return, next time in the summer months. Thank you to Des

We stayed in three homes while touring the Cape. This was easily our favorite. There's plenty of room and the host is very helpful. As a runner, he offered a path for me which turned out to be magnificent. Would definitely stay here again.

We visit every year and this is the best rental so far. I really felt welcomed and at home—but cozier. Everything was well thought out and very clean and uncluttered. It’s a great location and would be very comfortable for a family.

The house is very clean, bright, cheery, and very well cared for. The host was available to questions and requests. We were not able to enjoy all the amenities but there was a lovely backyard fire pit we wished we had time to use! I was saddened to see the summer season next year fully booked! I have family in Woods Hole and it was the perfect spot for us to stay. Highly recommend in season or off season!

The home is on a lovely quiet street — walking distance to the grocery store, the beach, restaurants, the ferry (in season). And a short drive to many other things! Although the home is a bit older, it’s spacious, well stocked, and comes with a great outdoor space and updated bathrooms. Our family of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our time here!
