Across the Street from Two Beaches, Martha's Vineyard View
Falmouth Heights Vacation Rental - ID 21527

Growing up, my parents used to take us to the Cape every summer; my memories of those vacations are magical - sunsets over the ocean, outdoor showers, saltwater taffy, and catching minnows and crabs in tide pools are some of my best memories from those summers. As an adult, I was delighted to come across this cottage to give my children the same experiences. The proximity to both Bristol and Falmouth Heights beach cannot be beaten - close enough to watch the sunrise and then go home and eat breakfast. One of our favorite things to do was head back over to the beach or Little Pond after dinner and hang out until sunset. Plus the short drive (or walk, if your kids are older) to the center of Falmouth allowed us to shop and enjoy the food (the croissants at Maison Villatte are delicious) on a daily basis. The house is comfortable and charming, and the front porch was the ideal setting for our meals. If you are nostalgic about the Cape Cod summers of your youth, this is the place for you; essentially it's a perfect little cottage that provides a respite from today's busy world and gives you a chance to sit back, relax and enjoy the beauty, and magic, of Cape Cod.

My family had a wonderful week in this charming house. The location was perfect for trundling my grandchildren right across the street. We opted for the Heights Beach. The house was so clean and supplied with everything we could need. My husband the early bird loved to read his newspaper on the porch rocker waiting for the rest of us to get up. It was so nice not to worry about having to park a car or get a spot at the beach. The outdoor shower was a big hit! Thanks for supplying games too! We loved Rummykub at the roomy dining room table at night. We absolutely want to rent again!

We were delighted to stay at this charming cottage - it was absolutely perfect for our family of four. The location is outstanding - quick walk to two beaches. All the amenities available (instacart and doordash deliver!). The house was clean and well kept. The owners were available and helpful. Great experience! Hope to stay again!

Our second year here and it was amazing again! We spent many mornings on the covered porch with our coffee, overlooking the water and watching the dog walkers. Simple to walk across the street and be on one of two beaches. I could walk the beach and the quiet neighborhood for hours and then end up at the local brewpub just down the block for lunch or happy hour.

Grocery stores, delis, and such are nearby...walkable for those of us who don't mind a mile stroll. The boutique section of Falmouth is a short short drive away. Amazing selection of restaurants and a to-die-for bakery! Woods Hole is a great adventure and so are the glass museums and stores in Sandwich.

The cottage, the town, and the state were very well-equipped for Covid-19 restrictions. We always felt safe and socially distant. Greg was very easy to work with and the kitchen had every possible pot and pan we could use! This place is great!!

The Elysian house is perfect for the kind of beach getaway that we like best—steps to the beach, flexible accommodations for friends and family, walk to restaurants and the Martha's Vineyard ferry, and has everything we need! Really well set up, and the covered porch increases the living space by a lot. Greg was very enjoyable to work with one securing two weeks this year instead of just one—just a wonderful vacation!

This cottage had a fantastic location in Falmouth Heights. Our favorite beach is Falmouth Heights, as my husband measured 240 paces to our beach spot. But Bristol Beach is probably even closer. The house is so well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The outdoor shower was great! The porch was a great place to relax and just feel the ocean breeze. We have been renting on the cape for years, and this is the first house we are looking forward to returning to next year! Also, Greg was great to deal with and responded to all correspondence in a timely manner. Thanks for sharing your family home, Greg.

The location of this beach house was ideal! Lots of trips back and forth to the beach for snacks, books etc. Greg was very accessible and welcoming. His home had some amazing vintage pictures of the area. My family loved our week here and I would absolutely rent from Greg again!!

The week my family and I spent in Falmouth was absolutely wonderful. The cottage itself is charming and offered ample space for the 4 of us, not to mention the large yard for my children (ages 3 and 6) to play. The outdoor shower was incredibly convenient when returning from the beach covered in sand, and the front porch was one of the best parts - we ate our breakfast out there every day, as well as enjoyed afternoon cocktails and dinner as well. It was a great extra space to relax on.

Lastly, the beaches. With two beaches literally a stone's throw away, it was so simple to head over for a quick dip or a few hours of sun at a time. If you asked my children, they'd tell you their highlight was the nearby marsh, where we spent hours catching crabs and collecting shells. We even saw a live horseshoe crab - something I haven't seen since I was a kid.

The location is also ideal for walking and running - I started every day with a run along Grand Avenue with its spectacular views. It was also very close to the ferry to the Vineyard, making a trip over to the island super easy. Honestly, this place just made us really happy this summer, and we're hoping to return in the near future. I would highly recommend this property based on its location to the beaches, as well as the ease of working with Greg, who made sure we had everything we needed. I can't wait to spend another vacation here!

Wonderful location across from beach. Home is smaller than we have rented before but extremely well equipped plus all the beach chairs , toys, umbrellas, etc. . Would highly recommend for family of 6 or more.

After booking our wedding in Falmouth this past June (2014), my husband and I knew we wanted to rent a beach home. We stumbled upon this amazing home, equipped with a full kitchen, bathroom, in-home laundry, outdoor shower, and plenty of space for 8 people. The front porch served as our mainstay when coming back from Falmouth Heights Beach, literally right across the street. We woke up to beautiful views of the Atlantic Ocean and Martha's Vineyard from our loft space, and went for morning runs along scenic Grand Avenue. The downtown area is only a 2 mile drive, but if you want to have the convenience of walking to food and beverage, the British Beer Company is a 6 minute walk down the road. We frequented this locale as did our friends and family.

As my husband and I both appreciate the historic quality of homes and generations of families who own and take care of them, we were delighted to work with Greg, a multi-generation owner of this place. He was welcoming and made our stay easy and comfortable. We very much appreciated being welcomed by a photo of the 2nd generation owners of the home in 1916 atop the fireplace mantle as well! My husband and I will definitely rent this place again and recommend it highly.

We arrived and were immediately taken by the close proximity to Bristol and Falmouth Heights Beach. You just cannot get any closer to the ocean for the price anywhere on the Cape at this time of year. The Falmouth Heights area is beautiful and the beaches were not crowded. The British Beer Company and the Island Queen Ferry to Martha's Vineyard are extremely close by (walk to each). Falmouth Center is a 5 minute drive away and having the beautiful downtown (restaurants, shops, activities, and -of course -ice cream) separates Falmouth from most other options on the Cape.

Being so close to the beach made it much easier to go back and forth for lunch with 2 - 4 children. This rental was ideal for our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 children) and has plenty of space for visitors. We had cousins/friends come down to spend a few days and everyone was comfortable.

We have rented on the Cape - Dennis, Harwich, Falmouth - for the past 8 years, and this was our most memorable experience. Greg was very helpful and easy to work with. If you are looking for a genuine Cape Cod experience, this house would be a great choice. We have already booked another two weeks in 2014!

Absolutely by far the best vacation rental we've had in the 12 years we have been visiting the Cape. This home has all the charm of a true Cape Cod beach house with the updated amenities (cable TV, WiFi). Great front porch to sit and watch the activity in the Heights and the ocean views. The large front lawn was perfect for yard games. Great proximity to restaurants, beaches, etc. We'll definitely be back!!

Our party of eight persons from 5 to 55 years old enjoyed the location, the neighborhood, the nearly beach, and the house. The history of Falmouth Heights development is easily understood with all the books of the house library. Well equipped with everything to have a comfortable stay, the ambiance of wood finished interior makes that house a beautiful beach house, with the air of Vineyard Sound to refresh rooms at night. We hope to go back in the future. If you like or need firm mattress for your back, maybe to avoid.

My family and I stayed here and were completely WOW'd by the location and the cabin itself! Quaint, fully stocked, and right across the street from the ocean!! Cape Cod charm and a total vacation feel.. 3 bedrooms (one has bunk beds for the kids), a loft (which is actually a great upper bedroom), and a big front yard perfect for the kids to run around in when they weren't enjoying the beach! lol The outside shower is so convenient as well! .. Added bonus being so close to restaurants and shops. You will not be let down.. We will return every year! .. So don't book July 14th thru the 21th please :-)
