We loved our stay. The house was great and the location was perfect.

Terrific location, easy walk to town & beach. Amazing house, the kitchen especially had absolutely everything one needed & more. Communicating with Karen was easy & efficient. The house is clean & the gardens well maintained.

Enjoyed two visits to this Woods Hole property in 2018 - Memorial Day weekend and third week of August. Such a great rental! A block from Stony Beach and two minutes to WH d'town. Lots of room for our family of four and puppy. Even had friends come from MV for an overnight stay. Kitchen is fully equipped for dinners in. Back patio is a dream. New bathroom is terrific. The owner, Karen, is such a pleasure to deal with. Oh yes - and there is a "secret" dog beach just up the street. Could not ask for anything more. We will be back certainly!

The house was generally fine except for the major discomfort described below. The neighborhood is pleasant and the location is good, as it is a short walk to the MV ferry, several restaurants, and the fascinating marine research activities centered in Woods Hole. One could have a pleasant stay during cooler weather. However when the weather is hot, as it was during the week we rented, it is in my opinion close to uninhabitable. The bedrooms are all on the upper level (see listing photos - there are three plus there is a walk-through alcove on the way to another bedroom). They have little ventilation; there is a single inadequate window AC unit in one bedroom; and only some very low-end fans were provided. As a result, the bedroom temperatures were much hotter than the outside temperatures. Opening all the windows, and doing our best to re-position the fans in every conceivable way for best effect, brought our group little relief. Temperatures were in the mid-high 80's during our stay in early August; the bedrooms were in the high 80's and into the 90's at times, and very stuffy as well. The sole AC unit was small and quite inadequate. The one bedroom with the AC did cool down (leaving the loud window unit on at all times) but the other bedrooms were too uncomfortable for our family of five adults, as several were unable to sleep for the first several days. Instead of staying for the week as planned, several of our group decided to leave; one went home early to NYC and another left to stay with relatives elsewhere on the Cape). The owner was communicative before and during our stay, but did not offer to make any adjustments to the rent for the inconvenience, or to provide or reimburse better fans or ventilation, but simply said she would consider our suggestions in the future. In short I would have given the house a good score if we had stayed there during a cool period such as April/May or October, but I cannot give it a good score based on our experience in August. I understand and I am sympathetic to owners for trying to cover their costs through means such as VRBO; I own several vacation houses up and down the East Coast that I occasionally rent out to guests, but I have great effort to ensure each guest is very comfortable and receives good value. In this case the house did not serve our purposes and we regretted not have chosen another property. I sincerely hope the owner invests a bit to address the issues and has success in the future.

We really enjoyed our stay in Woods Hole. The home is close to the beach and and easy walk to downtown WH. It’s nicely furnished and equipped with everything you need! The home owners were friendly and responsive and we hope to return again for another visit!

House is amazing, close to beach and town. Owners were responsive and very helpful. Highly recommend.

An amazing 9 days in Woods Hole made all the better by Karen and her wonderful home. The modern house had everything we needed and the location couldn't be any better. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Nicest house we've rented in over 15 years of coming to Woods Hole.

We loved everything about our stay. Woods Hole is a real gem with marinas, beaches, family friendly research institutions (kids and adults learn while having fun), great restaurants. Everything is walking distance. The house was great with tastefully but practically furnished spaces. Open space living area opening onto the lovely wooden deck and garden was just amazing. A hot outdoor shower was a daily treat after the beach. The owners were helpful and responsive, with the instruction book full of useful information. Two items we would recommend include a crib (our kid was fine with a futon but it's just easier to be in another part of the house knowing your kid is safe, plus they are used to it). The owners were clear one was not available so this is just a recommendation to make the house even more family friendly. The other is that it would be great to have bikes available. We had a few rainy days and had to drive to Falmouth (another lovely place with some really good restaurants). Bike stores will be closed outside of the season and Woods Hole does not have bike rentals. Driving by the ocean and on local bike paths is fantastic! We know we will be back and would love to stay in this amazing house.
