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

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 />
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. show more show less

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! show more show less

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! show more show less

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! show more show less

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! show more show less

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. show more show less

(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) show more show less

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) show more show less
