With a waterfront location on Siders Pond and roof deck views that reach all the way to Martha's Vineyard, this four-bedroom Falmouth vacation rental is an ideal retreat for beach-goers, art lovers, and guests in search of scenic relaxation.

Beautifully situated between the calm waters of Salt and Siders Ponds, Mill Watch is conveniently located within walking distance to the shore and one mile from the Main Street shops and restaurants in Falmouth Village.

This home is newly renovated and features 2,724 square feet of living space and water views in nearly every room, offering the perfect destination for your next family beach vacation or couples' getaway to Cape Cod.

The main floor living room is spacious and welcoming with large windows, plush sofas, and artwork lovingly created by the owner. Grab a window seat and flip through one of the many books of art, or gather your friends around the table for a tournament of board games.

Move upstairs to find a second living room with cathedral ceilings where guests can flip on the TV, enjoy an afternoon game of cards, or simply soak in the surrounding views of the ponds. This house is equipped with WiFi and air-conditioning for your convenience.

The newly-designed gourmet kitchen features pristine white cabinetry with lighting underneath, custom Corian countertops, high-end stainless steel appliances, Pergo flooring, and even a washer/dryer for your convenience. Enjoy family breakfasts in the formal indoor dining room, or move just outside the glass doors to find a patio set on the expansive back deck.

With four new and comfortable bedrooms, along with three full bathrooms, Mill Watch can accommodate as many as seven guests during your Cape Cod vacation - as well as your dogs, for a small nightly fee. On the main floor, you'll find three bedrooms with two queen-size beds and one twin; upstairs, the master suite offers a queen bed and a private sitting area. There's even an electric stair lift to help out any guests with limited mobility navigate between the upper and lower levels.

Although the serene lakefront of Siders Pond is just a short walk through the yard, there is so much more for guests to discover in and around Falmouth Village. Built upon the very land where John Gosnold founded the town of Falmouth in 1660, Mill View is rich in traditional appeal and local history. Falmouth's rich history is always on display at the Museums on the Green just one mile away.

Looking for some fun in the sun at one of Falmouth's 10 public beaches? Enjoy views of Martha's Vineyard from Falmouth Heights Beach just three miles east, or stroll through the white sand of Old Silver only six miles north. Find thrills fishing for tuna right or your next trophy fish right off the coast. Have a more relaxed afternoon on a charter sailing boat or just sitting in the sand with the home's provided beach chairs and umbrella.

A home you don't want to leave!

Great house to visit on beautiful mill rd. Beach is within walking distance and the home is very nice. The two livings rooms give the home a lot of versatility. The roof top deck was wonderful and gave great views of the boats leaving woods hole. Recommended stay for a relaxing time.

Beautiful Location.

Great location between the ponds & ocean. Great deck & family rooms to entertain in. Beautiful Kitchen. Smaller EIK area but definitely doable.. a few negatives do exist though. There's a row boat in the photos down by the pond on this property. I just assumed , as with other beech properties, we would be able to use it & was very much looking forward to that. The boat has a hole in it making it unusable,, The furnishings are from 60's 70's but we still love the interior of the home. It was spacious, airy, & comfortable. The home defiantly needs some interior upkeep.. One bathroom had paint chipping off the shower ceiling into the shower...our M.bath had the toilet the paper roll constantly falling out of the wall & not secure.. & the house apparently did not have guests there previously so when we asked if we could get in earlier then 4pm,(we were there for a family funeral), we were not granted permission... But our Rep Vanessa was one of the best reps we have ever dealt with. She was quick to respond, helpful & clear with instructions. A pleasure to work with. This place does have high fees compared to most & they would not budge on waiving or reducing them.. Maybe it wasn't her call to let us in early or reduce those fees....Overall this is place has much to offer for a Cape vacation. I definitely recommend it...

Needs some TLC

The location of the home is great. Only a short distance to beach and downtown. Beautiful view from rooftop and great neighborhood to walk. Description does not tell you that there is a space above the garage (connected to the house, not a separate garage), where someone is living while you are staying there. Check in instructions were sent the day before and was told then, and they explained it was the person that helped with the landscaping. What landscaping? lol.. The exterior of the home needs a little attention. The landscaping is way overgrown, weeds are overtaking the bushes and pathways to the house. The kitchen has been remodeled and in good shape. Furniture in living spaces are dated and soiled. We found a pair of men’s pj’s behind bed in master bedroom. Cleaning crew should have found those items if they cleaned properly before we arrived. There were children’s gel stickers and finger prints on the sliding door and windows. Also, children’s toys were lying around. Toilet paper holder in master bath was barely hanging on wall. Spider webs throughout house. While staying there, a man came to house asking to come in to get trash from garage. Never notified of this. Could be a very nice place to stay but needs some attention to detail, inside and outside, CLEANING DETAIL.

Great location, gross house

I chose this house due to the location, which is great. I'd give it a 9 for location and pretty views. However, the house itself is not good. It's probably the grandmothers who doesn't live there anymore and the kids just decided to rent it out as is to make money. The handicap chair going up the stairs and the old clothes in the closet should attest to that. Every room has different flooring, which might be eclectic, but this is just ugly. The furniture is terrible, uncomfortable and smells pretty bad, the master bed is basically on the floor, no window coverings at all in the bedroom which is dumb. I found a couple cockroaches lurking around the kitchen, and only one bathroom is decent (not nice but decent). Plus, there's some guy who lives in the FROG who comes and goes, parks in the driveway and whom one can hear thru the master bedroom walls. I was pretty creeped out here at night. As I mentioned, the location and views are great, but if you think you'll be staying in a nice, fresh, comfortable house, you'll be very disappointed. I would never stay here again, and that's a first.

Great home. Needs some love though.

This home was not our first choice, there was a complication with our rented home (no keys in the lockbox), and this was our other option as a replacement for our stay. The location of this home is perfect, half a mile to a public beach, and an easy walk to the center of town. The home is great, but it needs a little love. We found cobwebs all throughout the home, and even walked into a few down the hallways and going up the stairs. Multiple lightbulbs are burned out in the home. The Jacuzzi tub is broken, which was not a big deal for us. The toilet paper roll in the master bedroom is half ripped off the wall, I find it hard to believe that the cleaning crew didn’t know that it was falling out of the wall when they cleaned the bathroom… it was the first thing I saw when I walked into the bathroom. The home does have a musty smell, but that is common with beach homes. The crows nest or widows watch, whatever you want to call it, had incredible views of the area. My only concern with that is that the stairs are all painted the same, and it is hard to differentiate between the steps on the way down. The previous owner of the home was an artist and her artwork is displayed throughout the home. The yard is quite overgrown, the bushes need to be trimmed back on the pathway leading up to the house. We saw many animals in the yard; a mama, duck, and her four babies, multiple bunnies, and a fawn. All in all a very nice house just needs a little love and attention.

not worth the money! Beware...

If you like hanging out in a humidity filled house with windows that don't open, an old musty smell permeating everything in the house, finding prescription medicine bottles with medicine in them under your child's bed, finding dirty men's underwear under your child's bed, finding half smoked cigars in the glass cabinet, and almost having a shower door fall in on you, then this place is the house to stay in! The only reason we are even giving this property two stars is because the kitchen is nice, and the back deck is nice. Also, the location is fantastic. Other than those three things, the house was a pretty terrible experience. And the things wrong with this rental far outweigh those positives. It is by no means worth the money the owners/rental agency charges. The description of the house (and list of amenities) is completely misleading. My family has a lengthy list of things that we experienced which just were not ok. First and foremost, is that the description of the house claims partial AC. I am not sure in what world "partial AC" means one small air conditioning unit in one of the bedrooms (NOT the master suite), but apparently for this house that is what it means. The master suite upstairs is extremely uncomfortable, and also has no air conditioning and the windows don't open. In fact half of the windows in the house don't open. So in a house with no AC, it is always hot and humid. There are multiple fans throughout the house, but they are all old and one of them broke while we were there. Also, the description of the house makes it sound like the area/path to the pond is user-friendly. There is no easy way to access the pond from the path, and the one chair they have out in the back sitting near the pond is broken (my husband almost fell out of it when he tried sitting down). The weeds are so bad that even if you wanted to try to access the pond (which we did try), the weeds make it difficult. The other thing I will mention in this review from the very long list of things wrong with the house is the many dangerous parts. We have two small children – the youngest being 2 1/2. He found men's dirty underwear and a prescription medicine bottle with medicine in it under his bed. What?! One of the bathrooms downstairs has a very old door on it which almost fell on me while showering. One of the stairs is split and my husband actually hurt his foot on it because of the split in the wood. The list goes on. Awful.

Perfect location

The location was south of Falmouth on the way to Woods Hole between 2 ponds. Beautiful views from the widow’s walk. The vintage decorations were nice. The kitchen was set up for cooking. We had 3 couples and it was the perfect size with 3 bathrooms.

Nice, but could be better

The house location is great with excellent deck views. However the house needs bedroom renovations such as curtains, blinds, new mattresses and bedding etc. Our biggest let down was being told the House was A/C throughout with window units but there was only one in one bedroom. During a hot summer week with little children, this was an issue for us. Otherwise the house is nice and again location is great.
