About this property

Steps to Ocean Beach, Walk to Falmouth Village, Renovated!

We've spent every summer in Falmouth and couldn't resist buying this house because the amazing location is easily accessible to the beach, Falmouth Village, and the Shining Sea Bike Path.

Beautiful Surf Drive Beach is literally a 2 minute walk to the right. You can see and smell the ocean from the front yard. No need to hassle with beach parking permits or full parking lots. Surf Drive Beach is great for kids with its limited tides and surf due to the protection from Martha's Vineyard across the Sound. At this beach there is a snack bar offering the usual fare plus healthier options like lobster rolls, chicken sandwiches and fruit smoothies. Help yourselves to beach chairs and towels from the house.

To the left, charming Falmouth Village is a 10 minute walk or quick bike ride. The first place you'll encounter is the legendary Ben and Bill's homemade candy and ice cream shop. In addition to boutiques and candlepin bowling, there is a wide selection of outstanding restaurants including the French bakery, rustic Italian at Osteria La Civetta, premium Tequila selection at Anejo, and the famous Lobster Roll at The Quarterdeck. You'll also find Thai, Indian and Greek restaurant options.

The house also boasts easy access to the Shining Sea Bike Path that stretches from Woods Hole to North Falmouth with spectacular views and many top-notch food and drink options along the way. You can even ride 2-3 miles from the house to catch the Steamship Authority or Island Queen ferry to Martha's Vineyard. Bring your bike aboard and explore the island's beaches and towns by bike. Help yourself to the bikes and helmets in our shed or you may rent bikes in Falmouth Village.

We renovated this 3+ bedroom home with an open dining/kitchen area, an airy sunroom, a den with roomy sectional and flat screen TV, the strongest available Wi-FI, new kitchen appliances and 2 full bathrooms plus an outdoor shower. The house feels fresh (without that common musty Cape Cod feel). You can see the ocean and Martha's Vineyard from the front yard. The back yard abuts conservation land and has an open, airy, oceanside feeling.

The house offers easy one-story living with 3 bedrooms plus a den to comfortably accommodate 8 people. The house has a washer/dryer on the main floor and a second refrigerator. Enjoy meals at the gracious dining room table or in the back yard. The house is stocked with bed linens, bath towels, beach towels, beach chairs, a Nespresso coffee maker and condiments / pantry items. There is a Google keypad for keyless entry, Nest smoke detectors in every room and Nest thermostats.

We recently purchased this home and updated all of the furnishings including all new mattresses and high quality bedding. The house has brand new central air conditioning and heating.

We seek renters who will be respectful of our home and neighbors.

Available for weekly rentals for late June / early July. Two night minimum stay during spring and fall.

Overnight parking for up to 3 cars.

Great house and location!

We had a great time staying at the beach house. It was clean and very comfortable -you can tell Isabel puts a lot of effort into making guests comfortable. She was easy to communicate with. The house was a very short walk to the beach - which was great!

Beautiful, cozy house

My wife, infant son and I stayed for the weekend with friends to run the Cape Cod marathon. The house was very clean and well stocked with linens, basic cooking equipment and lots of towels. The house was extremely conveniently located - on the marathon course and 2 mins from the beach and 15 mins walking from town. Thanks for a great stay!

Great location near the beach with big backyard

Great property just a block from the beach. Big backyard perfect for relaxing. Property included beach chair, beach towels and bikes which was really convenient since we flew up. Close to historic downtown and Shining Sea bike path. Master bedroom was away from other bedrooms so convenient for families with teenagers. Would definitely rent again!

Winter Get Away

This was the perfect get away for our family! Great location ( walkability to necessary ice cream/ dinners out in town), a stones throw from the beach. The home was very clean, and so comfortable. The space feels bigger than the images portray. Nice backyard space! Isabel was very responsive and wonderfully flexible with our out of season stay! We'd happily stay here again and recommend this home to friends! Thank you Isabel!

Great Spot in Falmouth

Rented this house for a second time for our group of 6 ladies. We come in December to enjoy the holiday activities in Falmouth and the surrounding area. There is plenty of space in the house for groups to gather in multiple locations. The listing is as described and the owner is very responsive when you have questions. The beach is steps away from the front yard and even in the winter so nice to be able to walk down for the sunrise and sunset. We also walk right up to Main Street vs. driving and its very convenient. Highly recommend this house!

Memories for a lifetime

Nestled between the ocean and the historical Falmouth Village, this VRBO was ideal for returning to the Cape for our mother's celebration of life. Having spent summers on the Cape as children, we LOVED the beach walks, bikes rides, stories around the big table, open floor plan with plenty of space, the well equipped accomodations, easy access to restaurants and groceries, and the gorgeous fall weather. Isabel was great and we definitely want to come back and create more memories!

Stay for Wedding in town

We absolutely loved our stay. Owner made everything so easy and we really didn’t much any issues. The house is a 5 minute walk to down and even shorter to the water/beach. Wedding venue was a 2 minute drive from the house so we couldn’t have asked for a better location. House is very spacious, all 5 of us had more than enough room to get ready and do what we needed to do. Owner was very friendly and responsive as well. Highly recommend this house!

Unbelievable location!!

The house is very spacious and had everything we needed. It is literally a two minute walk to the beach-I had my coffee on the beach every morning! Downtown Falmouth is walkable too. And the Shining Sea Bike Path is a short bike ride away-highly recommended! The backyard is wonderful with Adirondack chairs, a hammock and picnic tables. The property was everything we hoped for, and Isabelle was very responsive and so nice! We highly recommend this owner and property!

Great Location in Falmouth

This house has a great location! It's only a 3 minute walk to the beach and a quick 3 minute drive to restaurants and shopping in Falmouth. The house is spacious and well decorated, even if it's a bit older. As with any old house, the bathrooms are beginning to show that age, but the online pics are accurate. I would definitely recommend this place due to its location, spacious interior, as well as friendly communication with the owner.

Perfect location!

The house is only a few houses down from the beach and .7 miles to town. The house is nicely decorated with new appliances. We loved having the bikes which we rode down to Woods Hole. The house is a bit older but they’ve done a great job making it feel cozy. The bathrooms are a little old but are accurately portrayed in the pics. I would definitely recommend this place. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Why they chose this property

The location of this property is absolutely spectacular. It's everything we want in a vacation home. It's that rare combination of being walking distance to a great beach and a wonderful town center. It is also boasts quick, easy access to the Shining Sea Bike Path which runs 10 miles from Woods Hole to North Falmouth with many places to stop along the way for a treat.

The town of Falmouth offers all the charm and beauty but is much more easily accessible than towns Lower/Mid-Cape towns and Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.
