We greatly enjoyed our family vacation this July at this rental. The owner was easy to communicate with and answers question promptly. This newly renovated house has most of all that you need for a family vacation, including comfy sofa in the living room with large T.V., capacious eating area and kitchen, and a large outdoor porch with a porch swing to hang out with the family. The location of the house is easy to get to, just a short drive after the Bourne bridge. The house is situated in a great, little, coastal neighborhood with an extremely short walk to views of the ocean and to Monument beach. There is a playground, tennis courts and a large field nearby for a pet to run around. Monument pizza and the Whistlestop homemade ice cream parlor is in walking distance and worth the visit; we ordered pizza at least 2 times during our stay, super delicious. Also, having Cumberland Farms nearby is a bonus as well. Can't forget the awesome bakery items from Becky's Bakery, next to Cumberland Farms, reasonably priced and worth the trip in the morning for homemade croissants and muffins, just a short walk from this rental. This rental is close to Falmouth and also Sandwich beaches, making it very convenient. Definitely worth making a stop to Summerset Ice Cream Parlor in Falmouth, super yummy ice cream. This rental is in the area of Pocasset, with beautiful views and also walking trails. Buzzard's bay is nearby as well.
The only downsides to this rental was that the kitchen was missing some helpful items, like a few more pasta-pots for making sauce and boiling pasta. The stairs are very steep to the upstairs where the bedrooms are located, not an issue for young people. However, you have to be super careful especially at night when going to use the restroom. Another bummer is that there is no outdoor shower, one of my favorite things I look forward to after a long day at the beach. Also, there is little privacy as the rental abuts the next house over and you can see right into the house from the kitchen. I didn't realize the rental has a house somewhat behind it making it less private. There is very little parking at the house, mainly for 2 cars only. The cleaning of the rental before our arrival overall was fine; however there were a few dirty dishes/silverware in the dishwasher and the windows in the house were a little dirty.
Overall, great rental for the price and we would definitely consider renting again in the future!
