Walk to Old Silver Beach /Shining Sea Bikepath
West Falmouth Vacation Rental - ID 23248

I rented this lovely home in West Falmouth, a short distance from a lovely beach for a week in September. I met my son and my daughter there. They both came from other cities with their significant others and my one grandchild. I also brought my two dogs. The house was wonderful: very roomy, with a slider in the dining room opening up to the yard in the back where we could have dinner on the deck . The kitchen was well stocked and very comfortable. We had use of the laundry facilities and there was also a dishwasher.

I stayed in the studio unit with a separate entrance. It was great, and the air conditioning kept it very comfy at night. I have already decided that if I am able to get back to Cape Cod next year, I will rent this house again. Erick was very easy to deal with. It was a great week!

We had a family reunion that included 14 people of various ages as well as a well-behaved dog. The house more than comfortably accommodated all of us. There is plenty of room to move about and plenty of room to sleep. The backyard is spacious and the pool table in the basement helps to pass the time on less than ideal days. Old Silver Beach is a 10 minute walk from the house which helps because parking there is next to impossible. The Shining Sea Bike Path is a 5 minute walk away and really adds to the overall experience. If you are looking for a place to stay that is close enough to downtown Falmouth, close enough to a beach, and close enough to area amenities, this is it.

This was a great place to stay for a family reunion. We were 10 adults and 2 small children. The other reviews are accurate. The owner is really responsive and easy to deal with, and the house was clean and close to everything we needed. With air conditioners on and house closed up, it cooled down fine for a good night's sleep. We all said we would stay here again.

A little tip on the beaches and parking. We were here just after Labor Day and everything was free and plenty of parking. Water was warm enough to swim too!

We stayed here for two weeks (with friends the first and family the second). The other reviews have hit the highlights, so I'll just add a few points:

1. There is a good wifi and cable for working (if you need to) or general entertainment.
2. There is a window AC unit in the living room if it's hot (and it was for us), but not every bedroom has AC. There are fans in each of those rooms though.
3. It was not clear from the listing, but one of the largest bedrooms upstairs with three beds is only reachable by walking through one of the smaller bedrooms (with a queen). Be sure this setup works for you (like parents in the first room and kids in the back room). If you have a group of friends using those two rooms, it would be awkward to have to walk through one bedroom to get to the other and kills the privacy of both rooms.
4. The yard is huge, both front and back, and offers plenty of privacy. Great for letting kids run around while you lounge on the back deck.
5. The bedroom in the separate apartment with its own bathroom is nice. Plan to have people fighting over who gets it. This is the third bathroom though, so effectively the main house has two bathrooms, one up and one down. This means all four bedrooms upstairs share a single bathroom.
6. Old Silver Beach is great and is walkable in about 15-20 minutes. Parking there is tough, so plan to walk or shuttle people if you stay here.
7. The basement has a pool/ping pong table combo and an extra fridge. Very useful.
8. The grill is charcoal, so if you are driving, consider bringing a charcoal chimney.

We really enjoyed our stay at this house in West Falmouth. The house was in a great location: half mile walk from Old Silver Beach and not far from gorgeous bike path! Lots of room for mix of parents, teens and little ones and adjoining separate apartment great for grandmother to have a little quiet space. One bedroom requires cutting through another one to exit, so be aware of that. House was casual and clean with a big kitchen and lots of different space for folks to eat. Back deck was great for dining and chatting!

This is a perfect house for a big family. We had four families in the home for most of the week and we really enjoyed our stay. There were 14 of us and there was plenty of room for everyone. We had 6 children ranging from 3-10 years old, and when we were at the house the ping pong/pool table in the basement and the nice size yard provided good entertainment for the kids and adults. The beach is in walking distance but we thought it was better to drive, the road is busy and hard to walk with young children. Erick was quick to respond to any questions that we had, and if we go back to Falmouth, we definitely would consider staying at this home again.

We rented this home for two weeks and enjoyed every day there. This home was the perfect size and location for four families to gather, celebrate and see the Cape. Only 1/2 mile from Old Silver Beach and closer yet to Shining Sea Bike Path. Each family could choose what to do and when it was best for them. It had a great yard for our seven grand kids to run, play Badmnton and Whiffle Ball. The Pool/Ping Pong Table in the basement became a gathering point each evening for adults where we could laugh and visit without waking sleeping children.

We loved being in a quiet neighborhood and being able to go to bed without the hassle of late night partying by neighbors to keep us up. We had a Sunday get together with over 30 people and were able to use the two tables inside and picnic table and benches outside to accommodate everyone. We definitely hope to rent this home again on our next trip to the Cape. Thanks, Erick.

This house is extraordinary for a family vacation. There were 13 of us and a guest that came for a few days. More then enough room. The house was extremely well kept. The yard is great. The kids, ages 18 months to 12, had a great time playing there. House is just minutes from Old Silver Beach, Goodwill Park and town. The Shining Sea Bike path is just down the block. Everything you need is included. Erick was easy to work with. We hope to rent for many years to come. Thank you for the great vacation!

Our family loved our week at this spacious and well located Falmouth home. The rooms were extremely comfortable with lots of room for the three families vacationing together. Large, well equipped kitchen, great living room that accommodated all of us and a wonderful yard for the kids to play. Easy walk or bike ride to the beach and the bike path just up the street. Erick was wonderful...always available to help with any questions. Loved this home!

This West Falmouth house is in a great location. It is a short drive, a nice walk, or a few minutes' bike ride to Old Silver Beach. The Shining Sea Bikeway runs a short distance from the house, and this bikeway takes you from Falmouth to Woods Hole. The house is large enough for 2 or 3 families, it is in a quiet neighborhood, and has a pool table, treadmill and exercise bike in the basement. The back deck is nice for families dinners. The outdoor shower is a nice way to get clean after a day at the beach!

If you want a clean, spacious, comfortable, great location rental, this home is what you should choose! It worked out so great for our family. We had our 2 sons and daughter-in-laws and our 1st grandchild, plus various guests. Everyone had a comfortable bed (including a full size crib for the 1 year old) and air conditioning if needed. The work-out rec room in the basement was used. We enjoyed the back deck with the large grill for entertaining and relaxing. We loved walking to the beach with the baby and/or a quick ride to drop off others.
The owner Eric was great to work with. He allowed us to bring our 5 year old Curlycoat Retreiver. As our sons arrived a day late, he allowed us to stay an extra night.
We would definitely rent again!
