Fabulous location, short walk to town, steps to pvt.beach
Woods Hole Vacation Rental - ID 7783

Our extended family from two continents got together this summer and called this beautiful house " home" for a whole week! We were so happy to be with each other and not have to worry about having to pack our cars each day and drive to the beach! Just a few steps away the ocean is pretty much in the front yard. (Remember to bring water shoes if you want to explore the rocky shore!)

The owner is meticulous in maintaining the charm of this beautiful property. and you can find anything you need in the kitchen cabinets! The outdoor shower is perfect, I want to build one at our house too now!

Perfect location -walking distance to the Ferry and we did take advantage of it to explore Martha's Vineyard for a day! The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute with all its perks (donation based !) is within walking distance too, and we had the perfect midweek rainy day to explore it with the kids!
We all had a blast and we'll be back for sure in the future!

Owner was reachable and very responsive to any questions, which made our stay even more worry free!

Many thanks Alice fir opening your home to us!
Sincerely.
The extended O'Neill/Dico/Suteu family! show more show less

This house is in great location, 1 minute walk to a beautiful private beach which belongs to association of 60 houses in Woods Hole. It is also 10 minutes beautiful walk to many shops and restaurants on the main street of this charming little town, and a quick bike ride to the Ferry Terminal and a gorgeous Falmouth bike route. Even shopping can be done on bike - in case you don't want to drive on vacation.

The yard and the deck are wonderful, the house is very clean, the beds are extremely comfortable, and the house is equipped with everything you need. I brought many of my own kitchen utensils but they were superfluous because the kitchen has everything you may need. I never rented a house so fully equipped, including all the little things such as hair driers in each bathroom, etc. If I knew about it in advance, my packing would have been so much easier. And I never rented a house where I felt as comfortable as in my own home due to all little conveniences which are provided by the landlord.

There are many big windows downstairs - a lot of air. Each bedroom also has 2 windows (upstairs bedrooms are rather small, while the king bedroom on the ground floor is big). However, our weeks were very hot in Boston, so even in Woods Hole it was unusually hot. We were glad that we brought 3 smaller window fans, together with 3 fans which we found in the house, it was just enough.

The house is wonderfully managed - whatever is a problem, a manager of the property reacts immediately.

Wonderful vacation in paradise, with birds and flowers and waves - we highly recommend the house! show more show less

The house is spacious and airy. There is a wonderful skylit outdoor shower and a great lawn away from the street, so safe for small children. The best aspect, however, is the lovely private beach which is accessed by a bridge over a lotus filled pond. We loved the house and had a terrific family vacation there.

We spent four weeks in this charming house, and it very quickly felt like home. The beds were comfortable, there was a cozy living room for hanging out and watching movies. The kitchen was very well equipped - we really enjoyed cooking and spending time together there. The kitchen/dining room area opens on to a beautiful back deck that is very private and relaxing. This was our favorite spot, and was a wonderful spot to watch the birds and wildlife. We also made use of a fantastic new gas barbecue. We enjoyed every minute of our time there and hope to return! show more show less

Our family was so delighted with this home. Safe, secure, comfortable, a home away from home. The bird watching and chipmunk feeding was delightful. We were blessed with stupendous weather so sitting on the deck was delightful. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay with kids and with an elderly person. Easy walk to the beach and Woods Hole "downtown." Loved our time on the Cape.

We've come back to rent this magical spot the past five years and love it more on each visit. Our week is the highlight of every year. The house is extremely well stocked and maintained, and the location is beyond compare. You are a short walk to a great beach (one block) where you can swim and hunt for crabs (kids have a blast) and a quick walk (or bike) to town. The neighborhood is filled with interesting people, too, who have come back to these woods for generations. And if you like nature, you could just spend the day on the deck watching the many different types of birds. (My two young daughters love to stand out there.) The outdoor shower is a great way to end each day. This place is clearly a family home that generations have put a lot of love into. We can't wait to get back there in 2013! show more show less

"We have been comng to this home for 3 years now. The owners are marvelous. Very accomodating in many ways. This house has everything you can imagine so that you need only a few outfits for the beach. The laundry facilities are great. The only downfall on all 3 stays is that we had to leave....We will be back for year 4. highly reccommended. Five stars out of five."
