Lovely, really cute summer home rental! Location cannot be beat, relaxing sunroom for morning tea, enjoyable outdoor dining w gas BBQ w awning, central A/C, working wood stove, hi pressure shower, quiet year-round neighbors, steps to walk down to Great Pond beach area, easy bike/walk to Bristol Beach, neighborhood benches were great to watch the fireworks from, easy driving/biking to many stores: Falmouth Fish Market, TJX, HomeGoods, Shaw’s, Walmarts, Stop n Shop. Ferry to Martha's Vineyard/Nantucket also an easy ride via trolley or by car. Shining Sea Bikeway close by. Enjoyed the Falmouth Farmer’s Market with local artisans selling at the Falmouth Marine Park on Thurs afternoons. There is 4 hrs free electric vehicle charging at the marina. Terrific French bakery Maison Villatte and great shops in downtown Main St, along with weekend horse rides, and a carousel behind the Falmouth Library. Stacie communicates easily via text or email.
This is really a 5* property. I took a star off there’s no dishwasher, fridge is tired, washer/dryer access thru bulkhead and takes 1+hr/load (rained the days we needed to do laundry), the kitchen and bathroom while serviceable needs updating, no broom to sweep out 2 storm's debris on patio, owner/cleaning have to work out some kinks (although cleaning people came right away), and there’s new construction of a large home across the street.
There was fortunately no construction the July 4th week we rented, but we weren’t told of the possible noise, in advance, even though I emailed multiple times w the owner. As it's a vacation to get away from it all, construction noise would've been problematic. There’s probably another 3 months of construction beyond mid July 2021 as the windows/doors were not in. The pics didn’t show there’s a large white patio table and 6 chairs + bench along with a new outdoor shower.
