Description

Thank you for looking at our home. We are BOOKED THRU MID-SEPTEMBER OF 2023
On November 1, of each year, we accept bookings but I give our repeat families the first option to schedule through December 15 of each year. Then bookings will be open to everyone.

Welcome to our quintessential Cape Cod home. Four generations of our family have enjoyed this home with a great location, and we hope your family does too.

We are on a quiet cul-de-sac and the other homes are full-time residents. If you are looking for a central location but still want peace, quiet and minimal traffic, look no further. Put in a text inquiry and I will be glad to answer any questions. I will usually respond the same day.

Our photos will be updated in June since the house is rented through May. We keep the house well maintained and try to provide you with a home where we would want to stay. Cleaning is done by a registered professional company using non-chemical solutions unless dictated by the State of MA or CDC for covid.

We completely renovated the kitchen with white shaker cabinets, island seating for 5, quartz counter tops and new appliances. There is a washer and dryer in the kitchen.

The terrific large back yard gives kids of all ages space to play, while adults can sit and talk under the trees or umbrella while reading, cooking out, have cocktails or just relaxing. You are welcome to use the yard games of corn hole, croquette, Frisbee and others. We ask that you bring the outside games in at night.

A new patio was added in 2020 and there is a picnic table with umbrella and grill. Break resistant dishes and glassware are available for kids and outside use.

*We are one block from downtown Falmouth and the Cape Cod Trolley Service, which you can take to Woods Hole to see the Aquarium, Titanic Exhibit, dine out or visit the Oceanographic Institute. Do not plan on parking in Woods Hole unless you are very lucky. There are just over 400 paid meters in the area. Take the Trolley , just 2 blocks away, and enjoy the ride.

Pets are not allowed due to allergies of other guest families.

From the house, you can hear the Nobska Light House fog horn or Island Queen Ferry Boat horn as it returns from Martha's Vineyard.

Located:
* 2 blocks from Falmouth Main Street, Ben and Bills Ice Cream Emporium, shops and numerous restaurants. If you like real hardware stores, go to Eastman's Hardware on Main street.

* 3 blocks from the fabulous Falmouth School Playground appropriate for all ages and The Carousel of Light Merry Go Round. This is an exceptional playground for kids.

*0.7 mile from Falmouth Surf Beach which is great for kids, has a snack bar and restrooms. Most families walk to the beach or one person drives, drops the family off, then drives home and walks back 8 minutes.

*1 mile from the Island Queen Ferry to Martha's Vineyard and the Shining Sea Bikeway. You can rent anything needed for cycling from the Palmer Bike Shop.

* 1.0 mile from the Falmouth Community Center where the Falmouth Commodores play baseball.

*0.5 mi from The Liberte Schooner which provides a beautiful 2 hour evening cruise.

* 1.3 miles from Highfields Hall and the College Light Opera Theater

*3 nearby golf courses

Overall: There is an enclosed porch with full sized couch, dining table for family meals, leisurely breakfast or playing games in the evening. The Kitchen has an island with 5 seats and a corner table where little kids can sit.

We have whole house AC, Wi-Fi, dishwasher, microwave, washer/dryer, and cable TV. Any orders for movies need to be through your personal streaming provider.

Main Floor: kitchen, living room; master bedroom with queen bed; full bath; and den with a twin sized trundle bed. The book case contains games and puzzles for your enjoyment.

Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms and a half bath. #1 bedroom has three/3 twin beds (one extra long) and #2 bedroom with a queen bed. We have hair dryer in each bathroom.

The Falmouth Road Race on a mid August Sunday passes 2 blocks from the house.

We hope you will give us a look. Put in an inquiry and we will call you back today to answer any of your questions.

Come enjoy the salt air and ocean breeze; collect sea shells that can go into a glass container which is a great keepsake for anyone. We hope you grow to love Cape Cod as much as we do.

Jean and John Feick

Rental Rates $2,525.00 for 1 week. Cleaning costs and taxes are in addition to the base cost. If the cost of taxes goes up between the date of contract signing and the date of occupancy, that cost will be increased.

The cleaning fee of $275.00 is a set based on what we are charged.

Books puzzles, and board games are available but the supply was thinned due to covid.

    Wonderful home and vacation spot

    This was our third or fourth year renting this home for a summer vacation. We absolutely love it here! The house is beautifully maintained, well stocked with everything you could possibly need and has a great backyard for our son to play in. The kitchen is gorgeous and even made cooking on vacation this year (which we did more of than usual due to covid) enjoyable. It's a great location on a quiet street where you can easily walk to downtown. The beach is also walkable though we usually drive because of amount of stuff we bring. Looking forward to returning next year! show more show less

    It just keeps getting better!

    This is the fourth year that we have spent two weeks at this home in Falmouth and it just keeps getting better. Every year the owners make improvements. This year among the improvements was a patio in the back. There is now a large TV in the bedroom we used but we never turned it on as we always had something to do and the weather was great every day.

    The kitchen is modern and well-equipped. There is a screened porch with a large table where we ate most of our meals. The air conditioning was helpful on very hot days but the Cape weather was much more comfortable than the city where we live, anyway.

    We had our three grandchildren, 2, 4 and 7 years old, and they enjoyed every minute and made wonderful memories. We got a visitors pass to the Falmouth beaches which was a first for us and we will continue to do so. The pass lets us park at Woodneck Beach and any other Falmouth beaches. Woodneck is perfect for kids. Surf Drive Beach is just a short walk down the street from Linden and is also fine if you don't want to get a pass.

    We walked everywhere, to the beach, uptown -- everything is close by. We also rode our bikes with the kids to Wood Hole using the bike path a couple of times. It was safe for our four-year-old to ride her own bike.

    To sum up, the home is spotless, convenient, comfortable and well-equipped. The owners are conscientious and thoughtful. We look forward to every year.

    Perfect Falmouth vacation spot!

    This is the second year we've stayed in this house and it's the perfect location for a family stay. Walking distance from town and beach means no sitting in traffic to get where you want to go. House is super clean and comfy whether it's a beautiful sunny day or one of those rainy Cape days. Will definitely stay again!

    An Ideal place to relax in an unusual year

    Summer of 2020 was our third year at this cottage. We debated whether we would take a vacation but we are very glad that we did. The owners did a wonderful job of making sure the property was safe while keeping in perfect condition and still fun to stay at. After the chaotic year we have all had, it was delightful to just sit in the beautiful backyard and enjoy the peace and quiet. It's a short walk uptown and a little longer walk (maybe 10-15 minutes) to the beach. My grandson (19 months) loved the sand and water.

    Things are a little different but there are still lots of take out options or outside and inside options. It's a little less crowded too.

    The cottage is very up-to-date yet still comfortable and cosy. It is a great place to be together with family. Jean makes every effort to anticipate your every need. The kitchen is better equipped that the one in my home.

    This year part of my family was out of the country and could not make it. We hope that next year we are all there together.     show more show less

    Thank you very much for your kind review.

    It is always great to have families that return year after year. This year is definitely different. Mayflower Homemakers has done a great job meeting the CDC cleaning standards and has helped us follow the rules. We had to thin out dishes, pots, pans games and puzzles. But on the bright side, there will be new puzzles next year.

    Our location is terrific. 1 block from main street Falmouth: Ben and Bills ice cream/ restaurants and shops; access to the WHOOSH Trolley; 0.7 mile to the Surf Drive beach; and has a great back yard for kids and adults. In August we are installing a patio area and taller ADA toilet which is very important for those of us over 65.

    We strive for good communication and had sent out numerous virus updates based on Gov. Baker's plan.We try very hard to provide a home that will meet the needs of a multi-generational family and for kids of different ages.

    We hope to see you and all of your family again next year.

    Thanks again,

    Awesome spot for long & short term stays!!

    We spent two months there as a "family" of 5 friends while finishing up our studies over quarantine. The house had so many great spots for studying and hanging out together. All of the rooms were spacious with great furniture.

    One of our favorite spots was a large kitchen - it made cooking together a great experience and the large counters made for many fun messes and eats. The home was also fully stocked with spices, silverware, pots/pans, games, detergent, etc.

    The backyard was also quite large making it great for sitting outside. The location to the beach was also superb (10 min walk) - we often walked to the beach in the mornings or carted over kayaks/small sailboats. In other directions it was just 5 min to the downtown street and about 15 min to the beautiful bike path running through Falmouth.

    We would highly recommend staying here any time of year. It was splendid to coordinate with the owners and hoping to come back again!     show more show less

    Wonderful Falmouth Vacation

    This was an absolutely wonderful vacation. The house was perfect. Close to the beach. The owners are spectacular and very quick with communication with any needs that might arise. We look forward to going back and would highly recommend this property for your vacation.

    Perfect Falmouth Vacation Home

    We were two grandparents with two other couples (our children and spouses) and two very young granddaughters (2 and 4). We have been spending a couple of weeks in Falmouth for a decade, and this is by far the nicest place we've rented. It has been professionally updated recently and everything is first quality. We choose it for the location, it is a short walk to both downtown and the beach. The beach is good for kids and the adults liked being able to walk uptown for dinner or coffee. The house is on a safe, quiet, dead-end side street. The owners were very nice and made every effort to ensure we had a great vacation. The owners and the home exceeded our expectations! show more show less

    Thank you for a great review. We enjoy having families visit our home and try to provide everything that we would want when traveling. Falmouth is a great place for families. We have young grandchildren and are always trying to improve the home. In late August we painted the public side of the basement, the outside back and side entry areas.

    Let us know if you would like to return next year. To any and all renters for 2019: Please keep in mind, for wherever you may stay next year: If the proposed tax law is passed, you can save the expense of the 2019 (nearly 15%) tax if a contract is signed before the end of 2018.

    Ideal Falmouth Location

    This was a nice home in an ideal location - on a quiet street close to the beach and close to downtown Falmouth. The layout of the home was great with a screened porch, an entryway, a nice kitchen, a den, 2 bathrooms, and sufficient bedrooms for a large family. It has a large backyard which was perfect for our 3 kids to play in and for adults to hang out in. The owners were very agreeable and easy to communicate with. We live in NJ but are originally from MA and have rented many places in Falmouth. This was definitely one of the best, and we will look to return in the future. Our whole family loved it. Thank you! show more show less

    Thank you for the GREAT review. This was our first year with summer rentals and we want to do an excellent job for our guests. Our goal is to have a comfortable house that families want to return to on a regular basis. We have just purchased the home from our family and plan on upgrades in the next year. Jean and John Feick

    I have been coming to the Cape all of my life (68 years). My Grandfather was with the Marine Biology Lab in Woods Hole. My parents bought the home in 1980. My husband John and I bought the house from my family in 2017. Coming to the Cape is our annual ''coming home'' vacation for us, our children and grandchildren. Even if we took a trip to some other place, we all yearn for our time on Cape Cod. My granddaughter has said she wants to buy the house from us when she grows up.

    As we cross over the Bourne Bridge, we start to unwind and put the chaotic day to day grind behind us. There is nothing like the smell of the salt water, or hearing the waves lapping at the beach while sitting in the sunshine. Even the sound of the sea gulls overhead is a welcome sound.

    John is an architect/contractor and I am a Nurse Practitioner. We have tried very hard to provide a home that is FAMILY friendly with items that we would want and makes your vacation more enjoyable. We respond quickly to any questions you may have.

    We have several families that return each summer and hope that you will give us a try.


    What is special about this property?
    The greatest asset is the LOCATION and great backyard which is just what kids and adults need to relax. You can to have Family downtime playing games on the porch, reading books, doing a jigsaw puzzle or playing croquette, corn hole toss or Frisbee in the large back yard. Falmouth Surf Side Beach is 0.7 miles down the road.

    Main street Falmouth is one block away. You can take the WHOOSH Trolley to Woods Hole and not have to fight parking. Kids can walk to the Ryan Family entertainment center for bowling or arcade games. The Falmouth Library which is wonderful; the Mullen Hall playground is great for kids; and the Carousel of Light are all a 10 minute walk from the house.

    The Falmouth Road race passes 2 blocks from the house. Restaurants, unique shops such as Howling Bird, Soft as a Grape, the Falmouth Historical Society, St. Barnabas Tuesday night Lobster Roll dinners and many others are all walk-able from the house.

    It is a place to unwind, and reconnect with the people you love the most. We are the only non full time residence on the quiet cul-de-sac. You will feel relaxed on a quiet street and not have to worry about neighbors interrupting or being noisy.

    What is special about your town?
    Falmouth is a wonderful location. First of all, you do not have to fight traffic all the way out Route 28 or Route 6A. We are 15 minutes from the Bourne bridge.

    Look at the web page: http://www.falmouthmass.us/

    There are places to visit that are fun for everyone: Woods Hole, riding the WHOOSH Trolley, going to the fantastic playground with the Carousel of Light, multiple beaches, family oriented or adult restaurants close by, golf, deep sea fishing, boat charters, the Shining Sea Bike path and much more. I send a document to each guest providing a list of activities, places to see, outlet locations or whatever else you may find interesting.

    You can just sit on the beach,relax under the sun and read a book. Take a nap! Sometimes it is nice to do nothing.

    Where ever you stay, we wish you well and have a memorable visit. Cape Cod will call you to come back again.

    Jean and John
