Dog-friendly, lakefront home w/ roof deck - blocks from the beach!

Overall great spot to relax over the holidays. Few complaints:

Jetted tub doesn’t function

Dryer does not dry

Need to invest in new mattress. - horrible.

This house is in a great location, close to beach and tows of Falmouth and Woods Hole. Customer service on minor problems and inquiries was outstanding.

This property is in a stunning location with the most spectacular views to the back and front. It has a beautiful decking area and roof terrace too enabling you to make the most of those views. Falmouth is a lovely town and the property is within walking distance to the beach.

The property itself is not decorated to my taste and that's fine. The upstairs living area is well equipped and very comfortable , the kitchen is well decorated and well equipped. The bathrooms, kitchen and living rooms were clean on the surface. There is some fabulous art work to look at too.

The bedrooms- the beds are very hard and we found them extremely uncomfortable. The pillows are thin and (in my opinion) need updating. We did not feel comfortable in the property. It became apparent soon after arriving that this property is firstly a family home and not a holiday rental. Cupboards, drawers and wardrobes full of personal belongings and therefore we felt almost like we were intruding. It also makes it weird to unpack so I lived out of my suitcase.

The kitchen utensils, place mats weren't particularly clean. The downstairs bedrooms had very thin curtains. One of the bathrooms downstairs had no light and no curtain. I slept in the bedroom upstairs and dropped something behind the back of the bed. It was absolutely filthy behind the bed and this was visible without moving the bed. The property has some fans but we didn't put any of them on as they were covered in thick dust. This was not a cheap holiday rental and I felt frustrated at the standards. This property could be amazing but we would not stay again in its current state. Had this been a hotel we would have asked to change rooms.

This property is not fit for rental in it's current condition. Don't let the great location or the outdoor deck tempt you. The furnishings are dilapidated, uncomfortable and were dirty. The rooms and beds on the main level are so small you can't shut the door without hitting the broken furniture. There were dead bugs in the windowsills and in the spare blankets. Oh, and a man who lives over the garage coughing all night. Don't do it!

Good news first- the location was great. Walking distance to the beach and only a.short drive into Falmouth. Plenty of space for 6 people and our dogs.

Now for the bad- There was an overall sense that the house was in a haphazard state. Upon pulling into the driveway, the upstairs tenant was sitting in the driveway in his truck staring at us. There is space for 3 cars in the driveway and guess what? The tenant gets first priority. So if you, like us have 3 couples meeting up it's a game of musical cars. The lawn was really long and it was chopped down on our second day. Guess what? No welcome mat to wipe our feet. Now for the inside of the house. 1) no air conditioning or ceiling fans. August at the beach was uncomfortably hot in the house. 2) Broken glass on the deck 3) plants on the porch were dead. Not like they needed water, they were black. 4) patio furniture was unkempt and slimy. What was more troubling was the fact that although the window crank to the master bedroom was broken and swung open during a downpour, the tenant asked if we had water come into the house. He was aware that it was not closing properly and didn't do anything to fix it. There were lightbulbs removed from the chandelier and never replaced. The tenant entrance to his unit is outside the kitchen. He looked into the kitchen window on Saturday morning and started asking us about our stay and if we were participating in the road race. It was not welcomed. Especially since he never said a word to us in the common area of the driveway when we arrived. When I approached vacasa.com with my many levels of discomfort I was told that I should have called during the 48 hours that we were there. Since I didn't call and complain about the creepy man outside our window I was only offered a 15% discount on a future stay. The argument on the part of vacasa.com was that I didn't call sooner. Vacasa.com offers 10% off anyway once you book with them so I rejected the additional 5% offer. We're all in our 30's. We are all professional adults so I let the company know that we didn't like the idea of being overseen. We were assured we would not be approached by the tenant. Their word is only worth what is convenient for them. I would not recommend this place.
