W. Falmouth Estate w/Pool & Tennis Court Overlooking the Bay
Falmouth Vacation Rental - ID 28881

Our group of 10 has been vacationing together for 30 years and we all thoroughly enjoyed this year! The beach is an easy walk, the bike path even closer. But, for us - it was the deck, grill, hot tub and pool that got the most use. Every day use. All day use!

Outdoor seating for lunches and indoor seating for dinners had plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare and serve any type of meal for a large group. The double ovens came in handy more than once to get the sides cooked for our grilled dinners. Air conditioning throughout the house made for a nice escape when it got too hot outside. We truly appreciate Kristen and her family sharing their house with us! It was an amazing week.

I was so nervous about 15 people, all ages, vacationing under one roof. Well, I needn't have worried. The house is absolutely beautiful and made for multi-generational groups like ours. Or any group, for that matter. Every bedroom had an en suite full bath, tv, plenty of space, comfy beds and great pillows. The kitchen has all top-of-the-line appliances and plenty of pots, pans, and any kind of equipment you could want. There are family rooms, big screen TVs, pool table, games, Play Station, puzzles, you name it!

And oh, that wonderful har-tru tennis court! We had an instructor come to give us a two-hour lesson and it was one of the highlights of the week. The pool was where the most laughter took place, for sure, and the basketball hoop was the source of endless shot-making (or trying). The homeowners put a big net behind it so no basketballs flying into the woods. We never got to use the hot tub, we were so busy enjoying everything else. Kristen, the owner, couldn't have been nicer and more accommodating.

This is a big, beautiful home that was hard to drive away from. And that's the absolute truth!

We gathered with friends and family to celebrate our daughter's birthday and could not have had a better experience. From the moment you contact Kristen, the owner, to the moment you lock the door behind you - the experience is literally perfect. We've rented many large homes and this was by far the best all around. The house is perfectly clean and extremely comfortable - no corner is cut making sure the guests feel "home." There is plenty of room to spread out both inside and outside - with numerous seating areas and activities everywhere you look. We rented bikes and had a great time on the very short and safe pedal to the bike trail, and then down to the beach.

Perfect home for a week for two families, 9 people in all, everyone had their own room including the two master suites. Pool was heated to perfect temp (83-85°), very nice clay tennis court (lots of fun there), pool table, jacuzzi, 0.8 miles to the beach, outdoor grill. No beach parking for guests but could drop off and walk, bicycle or scooter back to the beach. 0.5 miles to the North-South Cape Cod Bicycle Path. 0.5 miles to West Falmouth Market and ~4 miles to several larger grocery stores. Home in very good condition, very clean.

I cannot say enough about this beautiful home. We loved that each bedroom had it's own bath! The pool, hot tub, tennis court, and game room offered plenty to do when not simply relaxing. Kristen made the rental process quick and easy. She promptly answered all our questions prior to arrival. Her love for this home was obvious. We would certainly recommend this home to anyone looking for a special home for a large group!

My family (three generations of us) enjoyed a wonderful week at Cedar Crest this past July. The house is beautifully maintained and well suited for a gathering of our size. The owner was very accommodating and pleasant to coordinate with. The rooms were spacious, clean, and modern. Each bedroom had its own bathroom! I would highly recommend a stay at Cedar Crest for a group looking for a relaxing and comfortable setting with some great added perks (central air, pool, outdoor sound system, eight bathrooms, etc.). Thank you to Kristen for being such a gracious host to our family. This vacation always means so much to us and we had a wonderful time at your home.

We enjoyed another wonderful week on the Cape! This home has eight bedrooms, all with their own bathroom, making sleeping arrangements easy. Two of the rooms have a sofa in the bedroom (one is a futon) allowing for kids to easily share a room if desired. There are two great tables for everyone to sit around to enjoy meals, one inside and one outside (with optional canopy). The kitchen is well equipped for meals in, and there are many local great restaurants within a quick drive, including a Seafood Sam's for eat-in or takeout. (Simply Devine Pizza delivered us eight delicious pizzas in under an hour's notice too!).

The location is perfectly situated on a quiet road, within a very short walk to a small playground, field and tennis courts (onsite tennis court too!). The beach is about a 15-minute walk or 5-minute drive. We found the walk easy- and the sunset photo opportunity is definitely one to take advantage of. The beach is beautiful and well cared for with lifeguards and an area to rinse off. No bathroom at the closest beach is the only minor downside.

The home is also quite close to the walking/biking path that leads down to Woods Hole. We have enjoyed the 6-7 mile bike ride each year, and the amazing lobster tacos and ice cream there! We even ventured over to Martha"s Vineyard this year, hopping aboard the ferry with our bikes from Woods Hole was quite easy, even with more than a dozen of us! Back at the house we enjoyed the pool everyday, and the hot tub most mornings. The hot tub has an optional canopy to provide cover from the sun as well. The rooms downstairs are sectioned off well allowing the adults to stay up and play pool or watch TV without troubling those who wanted to go to bed early. For rainy days or grocery or beer/wine runs, there are many stores (Shaw"s, Walmart, liquor stores, movie theater, etc) within a 10-15 drive. There"s also a great playground that"s even bigger and better just a two minute drive away called Goodwill Park. There"s apparently a lake there too but we didn"t check it out. We love this house and location! Nitpick: downstairs bedroom has the only bathroom on that floor Home includes towels in bathrooms and pool towels. Bring your own beach toys and pool inflatables.

Simply put, a perfect week for our large group spanning 3 generations. The care and though that Kristen puts into her home to give her guests a wonderful vacation is above and beyond any experience we have had over many years. So much attention to detail and convenience, in particular in the kitchen - there was not a single utensil, appliance or cookware item that we were lacking, and the staples like trash bags, laundry detergent, toilet paper, etc., were generously supplied. Furnishings throughout the home are outstanding - all seemed new, well cared for and tasteful.

The layout of this home is ideal for a large group with enormous living spaces to spread out if you want quiet, and so much to keep kids entertained without ever leaving the home. We found ourselves relaxing by the pool and sticking around for lunch vs. packing up for the beach early given how much everyone loved the newly surfaced pool and massive outdoor deck space with iPhone music hookup. This always seemed to work out great finding space at Chappy beach in the afternoon as some morning beach goers would be leaving as we were arriving. It was also a big plus having a bedroom on the first floor for the oldest person in our group. Labels and instructions for literally everything throughout the home and nice safety features to keep little ones from wandering out to the pool areas. We did not have to call Kristen for a question on anything!

Can’t beat the proximity to West Falmouth Market and Eulindas for ice cream as well as the bike path while still being in such a secluded, peaceful setting.

Kristen is fantastic with communication and makes the rental process and check in go very smoothly. Thank you again for sharing your amazing home. We are looking forward to our stay next summer!!

We enjoyed our third visit to Cedvar Crest for our annual family reunion. It was a fantastic week for a 3 generation family of 17, ages 8 to 77. Kristen is marvelous to work with and the entire property is meticulously maintained. The rooms are large and nicely appointed, and the AC kept the temp comfortable. The kitchen has everything needed to make meals for a large group and there is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating for meals. The pool was great as well as the tennis court, pool table and nearby park.

I would wholeheartedly recommend this place and thanks again to Kristen!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Cedar Crest! The location is perfect (close to beach, ice cream, bike path, markets and town) and the house is amazing! There are rooms large enough for the whole family to gather in, and there are enough rooms in case you want to spread out. The large deck and pool area provide a nice alternative to the beach and were used daily. Having eight bedrooms, each with their own bathrooms, was a plus that our family greatly appreciated. The kitchen is well equipped and saw a lot of use! Kristen is so nice and easy to work with. We would love to come back in the future!

We stayed in this beautiful home (a former bed and breakfast inn) two years in a row now, and have loved every minute. The home has eight good-sized rooms, all with their own bathrooms(!!!), large seating areas indoors and outdoors, a great pool, hot tub, onsite clay tennis court, great kitchen, outdoor grill, pool table, game room, large screen TV with video games, and more! Easily walkable to the beach (maybe 1/2 mile), and there's a playground, baseball field, and additional tennis courts (not clay) about 2 minutes away. There's an ice cream parlor (with sorbet too!) and a local convenience store (with dinner options too) maybe two city blocks away - super convenient. The biking trail is easily accessible for biking, running or walking, and there are restaurants and larger grocery stores within a 10 minute drive. The house has great spaces to all hang out together, and also areas to escape each other! Can't say enough about how great this location and house is for a big family or group getaway. Homeowners very responsive, house in great condition - it is a pleasure to visit!

We've already RSVP'd for next year!

Cedar Crest is a great place to celebrate an anniversary or other special family event. With 8 bedrooms, each with a private bath, it is comfortable for everyone. The features of the house make entertaining fun for everyone.

The property was totally as advertised and, while expensive to rent, it's worth it! The owner is most gracious and everything was as expected. We had a great week at Cedar Crest!

We had the most amazing week at Cedar Crest! We had family members aged 4 through 75, and the house was perfect for all. It was in a great location with easy beach access to a lovely beach (bikes make it even easier). The house is extremely comfortable, beautifully decorated, well cared for, and spacious...we never felt like we were on top of each other even with multiple families in the house. The tennis court, hot tub and pool are kept impeccably and offer great opportunities for groups to play together. Surrounding area has a wonderful market and Eulinda's ice cream (so good!) and you're just a bike ride into Falmouth or to the ferry to Martha's Vineyard! The owner is extremely helpful and responsive. We can't wait to come back to Cape Cod, and when we do, we will be sure to stay at Cedar Crest!

Cedar Crest is the perfect vacation home. My family and I spent a week in there. There were 14 of us at the house, and we were amazingly comfortable. The house is large and expansive but very cozy. The home was well appointed and offered a lot. The pool, tennis courts, pool table, and foosball added to our fun. The kitchen has wonderful appliances, and we were able to cook each night with ease. We felt like we were "home." I highly recommend Cedar Crest. The location is also perfect. Just a couple blocks from the bike/running path. This is one of the nicest homes we have ever rented, and I highly recommend it.

(5 of 5 Stars)

We celebrated our annual family reunion at Cedar Crest in July 2017 and we were blown away by the accommodations. This home has it ALL…..a beautiful open main floor with plenty of large windows, eight well-appointed bedrooms, a stocked game room, modern comfortable furniture and a gourmet kitchen. The property also contains a pool, a hot tub and a clay tennis court and we enjoyed each every day of our vacation.

Two other major pluses for Cedar Crest: the location and the owner. The property is very private (we never heard our neighbors) yet close to the bike path, the beach and the West Falmouth Market. Kristen, the owner, is extremely accommodating, responsive and professional.

Next time we rent on the Cape, we will look no further than Cedar Crest. (Review emailed to home owner)

Lovely property, lovely hostess, great week! (5 of 5 Stars)

Cedar Crest exceeded our expectations! Our group of 12, ranging in age from 11 to 80, had a marvelous time. The house is a gem--a truly beautiful old home and yet very up-to-date. The owner, Kristen Marshall, has paid close attention to every detail, making our stay quite easy. Living space is varied and easily accommodates various different groups of people, with a wide variety of indoor activities (for days with less than perfect weather) including foosball and pool tables, a game table and a large screen TV room. Our younger members never lacked for things to do. When they tired of playing pool, they quickly shifted to the tennis courts or the outdoor pool. The bedrooms are large, each with its own private bath and each very well-appointed. We also loved the easy access to the bike path and the beach. All very well-done. We'd love to come back! My deepest thanks to Kristen for a wonderful experience! (Review transferred from HomeAway)

Perfect family friendly vacation home (5 of 5 Stars)

Our family celebrated my dad's 70th birthday at Cedar Crest and we were truly blown away by how beautiful this home is. The eight bedrooms gave everyone ample space to spread out. Even though we had three families and children on the trip, the house is spacious enough to provide a relaxing atmosphere and it never felt cramped. We also appreciated that almost every bedroom has its own bathroom attached. The views from the private balcony in the two master suites are stunning; it looks directly out across the pool deck, tennis courts, forest and the water in the distance.

The attention to detail the owners put into the house really enhanced our stay. These include...

Plenty of games, toys, books, video games and a pool table to entertain kids of all ages...

A beautiful pool, hot tub, and tennis court for plenty of outdoor activities.

A chef's kitchen which includes Viking and Sub Zero appliances along with a push button fireplace on the wall to add to the ambience

A spacious dining room with access to the massive deck for easy indoor/outdoor entertaining

A Bose speaker system throughout the main level of the house and outdoor areas...just plug your phone in and play all your favorite songs.

Short walk to the bike path which leads down to Woods Hole

We highly recommend this house for a relaxing week at the beach or a quiet getaway in the offseason! We will be back for sure! (Review transferred from HomeAway)

Great service - beautiful home (5 of 5 Stars)

We reserved Cedar Crest for a work retreat and couldn't have been happier. Kristen was an absolute joy to work with and accommodated all of our questions and requests. Traveling as colleagues it was important to have our own space but also the opportunity to have quality time together as a team. We had beautiful weather and enjoyed walks to the beach, tennis and the hot tub. The house was fully equipped with everything we needed and I highly recommend Cedar Crest and Kristen as your host. Since we have been back to work we have shared our experience here and others want to book their next retreat here as well. It is a gem and so glad we found it. Thanks again to Kristen and her family for sharing this wonderful spot. Hope to be back again next year! (Review transferred from VRBO/HomeAway)

Cedar Crest---a most unusual 116 year old!! (5 of 5 Stars)

Over the past two decades, my wife and I, and our family ( now 33 in number with 18 grandchildren, ages 30 months to 23 years) have vacationed on Cape Cod in many nice homes and places. None compare to this vintage home in Falmouth which, despite its alleged age, shines because everything still works impeccably. Most importantly, , there is abundant living space outdoors and inside with a magnificent modern kitchen fully equipped with the best modern appliances, TVs in every bedroom and living space , a pool and hot tub that were always clear and clean , a spacious deck, large air-conditioned bedrooms and baths all of which were spotless and completely functional, a game room with pool table, a wine cellar, a clay tennis court, and much more. Location is safe, protected and very private with beautiful views...., but still all of Falmouth and other Cape areas are easily accessible. Kristen, the new owner, is affable, kind, pleasant, intelligent and informed, available on a moment's notice, and fully committed to every detail. Nothing is left to chance. One cannot help but to have a spectacular time as our Clan did. Cedar Crest is a vacationer's treasure free of any worries. It has our unqualified, highest possible recommendation; all of our family voted unanimously to return next year!! (Review transferred from VRBO/HomeAway)

Comfortable luxury perfect for all generations (5 of 5 Stars)

My family group, ranging from 4 years old to 86 years of age, all enjoyed our week stay at the spectacular Cedar Crest property. The house has 8 very well appointed bedrooms and bathrooms and plenty of other rooms for group gatherings and activities. We had a week of sunny hot weather and thoroughly enjoyed the fun and convenience of the property's pristine pool and hot tub. The outside deck area is well equipped with chaise lounge's, tables, umbrellas, bar area, and grill, including a large outdoor table protected by a retractable awning with hanging lights. The teenage boys took over the den with its large curved leather sofas, giant TV, and sony play station. The bird-lovers in the family watched the ospreys soar from the 4th floor cupola with 360 degree views. We cooked fabulous meals in the well appointed kitchen and our large group was all able to dine together at the long wooden table in the dining room. Despite the 90 plus degree weather, the house remained cool and at night we all enjoyed playing pool in the game room or scrabble at the game table in the expansive living room. The owner, Kristen is very accommodating and has given great thought to her guests' comfort and safety. The house is privately situated with great views and less than a mile walk to Chapoquoit beach. Cedar Crest proved to be the perfect place for our family vacation! (Review transferred from VRBO/HomeAway)

Linda from Connecticut (5 of 5 Stars)

I am another member of the reunion family described by Amy from Connecticut. I can't say enough about the spaciousness and comfort of this elegant and charming house. It was absolutely perfect for everyone from 75 to 6. The kitchen was well suited to cooking for a crowd. The dining areas were great for large eating groups. Each bedroom was comfortable with such luxury to have a private bath in each. The living areas were spread out so we never felt bunched together.

It was a real pleasure to work with Kristen Marshall, the owner, in setting up our week there. She is very responsive and communicative and made everything easy and smooth.

We are looking forward to enjoying another week in this wonderful home next year! (Review transferred from VRBO/HomeAway)

Top Notch Vacation Home (5 of 5 Stars)

Our family (now 11 adults and 6 kids) has done a summer vacation together for many, many years. We've been all over the country but Cape Cod is one of our favorite destinations, and we've been back repeatedly. This was our first time at Cedar Crest and it went immediately to the top of our list!

The house is gorgeous as soon as you drive up, with a driveway that easily accommodates 8+ cars. You walk into a bright and beautiful interior, with plenty of large spaces for the whole gang while also providing a game room and cozier den perfect for the kids and teens. The kitchen is huge and modern, with every convenience to cook for a large group. We also really appreciated the extra fridge/freezer and wine fridge downstairs for extra storage! I can't say enough about having 8 fabulous bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, providing everyone with privacy and comfy accommodations. The outdoor space couldn't get any better - beautiful pool with plenty of comfy seating; private hot tub; grill, bar and large table for dining (we ate outside every night) and a tennis court that our kids used for all manner of sport!

The house is located within 10-15 minutes of everything! We especially loved the bike/run/walking path that goes all the way to Woods Hole.

We decided to book again for next year before we even finished the week! Cedar Crest is truly a vacation gem!! (Review transferred from VRBO/HomeAway)

Perfect for families, beautifully maintained, with exceptional customer service (5 of 5 Stars)

This home is utterly fabulous. My first impression was how immaculately it was maintained; my second was how unique the layout of the home was. Sixteen of us, including three families with children ranging from 3 to 14, were luxuriously accommodated in bedrooms of our choice. The girls in the family instantly took over the fourth-floor cupola room, dubbing it the "dance party room," while the boys claimed a larger bedroom as the boys' dorm room. Before arrival, we had some concern about the security of the pool area, but found the safety measures already in place to be sufficient to protect our little ones. The kitchen was fully stocked with housewares, and included a washer and dryer, which proved invaluable given the number of beach towels we washed and dried. Kristen gave amazing customer service, never hovering, but providing written information about the home and environs and being responsive to emails and texts as little things came up over the week. She even offered to mail back some clothing that we had left behind. We elected to do some day trips to Boston, Plymouth and whale-watching, but would have been just as happy to stay "home." One of the highlights of our stay was the first morning. We woke to find wild turkeys, adults and chicks, in the front yard! I highly recommend this beautiful property.

A Real Gem! (5 of 5 Stars)

My family had the pleasure of staying at Cedar Crest for the celebration of my son's wedding. The house and property are magnificent and wonderfully cared for by the new owners. Although built around 1900, the house has all the modern amenities plus more and is beautifully decorated.

It is a unique property in that the number of bathrooms matches the number of bedrooms so everyone has their privacy. There are many very comfortable common areas in the house so no one ever feels on top of each other, even with a large group.

There's lots to do at the house, tennis, billiards and tons of games for adults and kids alike and there's a cute playground just down the road. The location is great-it's down a private, heavily wooded road but within 15 minutes you can be to many places, including the ferry to Martha's Vineyard!

The owners are very "hands on" with this property and they were very attentive to any of our needs and always accessible through phone, text and email.

If you're looking for a home that can accommodate a large group (we had 16 plus 2 babies) you can't go wrong with Cedar Crest! (Review transferred from VRBO/HomeAway)
