Family Cottage with backyard, walkable to downtown and beach
Falmouth Vacation Rental - ID 28258

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.

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
