Gorgeous Property, Inground Heated Pool, Stroll To Beach!!
East Falmouth in the historic Vacation Rental - ID 7281

This summer was the 4th time that we have stayed at this property - that in itself really highlights what we think of it! It truly feels like a home from home and the owners over the years like long distance relatives!

The house is spacious, well appointed and clean. There is honestly absolutely everything you could want on hand, and if there is anything you need, Sue and David will always endeavor to help!

The bedrooms are comfortable and cozy; the living and dining areas functional and bright. The master bedroom has a lovely deck outside to enjoy a morning cup of coffee!

The highlight of the house is the stunning garden and beautiful pool area. Relaxing, barbecuing, swimming ... it's really just perfect.

The house is also so well situated. Walking distance to beaches and just a short drive into Falmouth town where there are so many amazing restaurants and quaint shops.

We look forward to going back again soon! show more show less

My husband and I rented this house for two weeks in the middle of August with our children and grandkids. The house, located in East Falmouth, is beautifully decorated and there is plenty of common spaces, living room, family room, sun porch, for everyone to gather in. The kitchen was very well appointed, complete with all of the essentials. The large kitchen table was beautifully placed in a gorgeous sunroom overlooking the fabulous heated salt water pool. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds extremely comfortable. Another plus for us was the short walk to the public beach. The whole experience was exceptional. We would definitely rent this house again.

From the beautifully landscaped grounds, to the well appointed pool area, solarium and super comfortable den, this house is chock full of everything you need to have a great vacation. A fully stocked cook's kitchen with pots, pans and plenty of dishware, plus five bedrooms and four bathrooms makes it easy to entertain a crowd. The bedrooms are located throughout the house for maximum privacy. There's even a bar!

I've rented on Martha's Vineyard for the last 29 years, so I'm familiar with what a rental supplies, but this house really delivered. There were spices and condiments (so annoying to have to buy), kitchen and bathroom supplies, plus AC, five tv's and a sound system for the pool. A really nice private beach is a short walk away. There's plenty of parking. We had a family Fourth of July picnic and nobody could believe what a great house we'd found. This is really a special property, and the owners couldn't be nicer. I'm giving it an 11 out of 10! show more show less

What a wonderful home! The gardens are beautiful and the interior design and décor have such character. I took lots of photos of the gardens - the wisteria, the many annuals, the logs at the side of the house behind two huge trees. The interior is just as beautiful - such attention to detail! I love the old typewriter, and the screen in the corner of one of the many rooms.

We stayed for a week at the end of Summer 2015. My husband and I, our two kids age 11 and 6. My husband's parents, an aunt and uncle also joined us. They were visiting from Ireland and we wanted somewhere extra special to vacation with them. This house was certainly it! Everyone had a wonderful week. The layout of the house provided privacy and get-togethers as needed. The pool area is wonderful. Lots of comfortable seating/sunbathing areas. So many books, board games, DVDs for us to choose from! We were delighted to find a copy of "Jaws" and we watched it following our visit to Martha's Vineyard (which was so easy to get to from the house via the ferry close by).

The house was spotless and everything you could possibly need was supplied. I would highly recommend a stay here! show more show less

This spectacular property was the perfect base for our summer retreat in Cape Cod with easy access to beaches, Falmouth and other Cape Cod town as well as highway access for further exploration.

The house itself was spacious, well presented and had absolutely everything we needed. The garden was beautiful, and we spent many afternoons and evenings relaxing outdoors, either by the barbecue or enjoying the pool.

The owner, Sue, was very welcoming, helpful and always just a phone call away if we needed anything. Everything was thought of including a great house booklet that provided us not only with how things around the house worked but also with recommendations of places to visit and eat around the area.

We stayed for a blissful 4 weeks and loved it so much, we have already booked our return visit for summer 2017! show more show less

We were 2 families of 4 adults and 4 kids and we had great time in this beautiful house. Everything was so organized and clean and the kids loved it. We felt there is nothing out there that can be more fun for us than spending the time at the house. Of course, Sue was great and very helpful. We would love to visit again

What a terrific vacation! We stayed for two weeks just after the Labor Day holiday. The home (and I use the word "home" intentionally) was wonderful. The bones of old Cape Cod but with charming updates. Sleeping areas (5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms) were sprinkled throughout the house- upstairs, a downstairs addition, a room off of the kitchen- this really allowed the house to accommodate guests and family easily, especially those that needed first floor rooms. In addition to the living room, there was a comfortable game/tv room and an enclosed pool area (what I would call a "Tiki Bar"). Even on cooler days the glassed conservatory dining area brought light and warmth into the home. The pool was heated, and the house was outfitted with pool toys, rafts, beach chairs and umbrellas. The gardens were classic Cape Cod and the hammock was seldom empty. The location was perfect for us. Walks to the private Davisville Beach, the public Menahunt Beach, Green Pond Harbor and the beautiful Bourne Pond gave us great choices for exploring on foot. Natural beauty and Cape Cod history surrounded us. The town of Falmouth was a short drive as were the beaches of South Cape Beach State Park, Old Silver and Chapoquoit. As my mother says, "God willing, we will be back." show more show less

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful home. The home was clean, spacious, and Susan the owner was great to work with. The home had everything we needed from plenty of beach towels, chairs to use at the beach, a heated pool and TV's in every bedroom.

Thanks, Susan, for a great time.

Hi Susan: I vacationed at your 5 star resort home the first week of August 2011. I wanted to vacation with my children and grandchildren and create memories and I sure did.

I have vacationed down the Cape for many years and am quite familiar with the lower Cape but not Falmouth - I loved it. We were lucky to have seven days of sun and warm weather. I never thought about a pool - why would I - the beach was there. But this was a feature that was used constantly by the grandchildren. Your home had everything you could desire and want. Space was plentiful and what could I say about the lush surroundings. Then the walks to the beach and making sand castles. There wasn't one negative voiced by anyone in my family about this vacation week. I loved lying in the hammock and reading - how restful. Music surrounded us all day.

I can truly recommend this to any family who will have all the amenities they could desire to make this a memorable vacation. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Hi Sue,
We knew from the photos on the website, that your house was going to be a nice place to stay, but, WOW!!!....it was even better than we ever imagined! We knew the location was fantastic, and had fun parading down to the beach on foot, instead of on bikes or worrying about a parking space.

The pool was used almost non-stop, and my boys took great pride in keeping it covered at night, skimmed, and they were responsible for keeping track of the fantastic collection of pool toys. On the way back home to CT, my husband and I started thinking seriously that perhaps we should put a pool in our yard at home. It was tons of fun for everyone!

The landscaping is straight out of "Home and Garden"....we had our dinners outside at that great table, and spent many evenings there lingering with the music, a deck of cards, and a cocktail. (If we could get our kids to serve us as "waiters", it really would have been over the top!)

The kids played wiffle ball in the grassy area in back, and our 6 year old even took a nap in the hammock one afternoon!

All of the ammenities were first rate...the sound system was wonderful. (My brother-in-law, for some unexplained reason, likes Country music....if your neighbors had to suffer through the whining sounds of the Country music, please send our apologies!) Each bedroom was cozy, and to have a TV in each was on par with any 5 star hotel I've ever stayed in! The boys ended up in the upstairs bedroom, all together, and the 2 girls had a little paradise in the yellow downstairs room.

The kitchen was stocked with everything we could need, and to have such beautiful linens in a rented house is absolutely unheard-of!

Last, my sister and I agreed that we loved your decorating style. It is full of personality, with seaglass collections, the fun "bar" room, and little touches like antique trays and contemporary flower arrangements. The white-washed color palette is so restful and perfect for a summer house. We loved everything about it!

We will be back in Falmouth a few times over the summer, and perhaps will see you around the beach, town, or even a tag sale!...Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful home with us. When we make our vacation plans for next year, 481 Davisville will be at the top of our list!

Have a great summer.
Carole
