Spacious 4 br Woods Hole home / access to private beach

The place has a lot of character and nuances of several generations who have used it. Very comfortable and timeless in the appointments and furnishings. The sleeping porch is a unique feature where you feel like you’re camping out but with convenience.

This was our 1st time at this property, 5th time staying in Falmouth. From the moment I walked in, it felt welcoming and comfortable. One enters through the living room/dining room, a wonderful space for a memorable family/friendship gathering.

Our favorite spot was the large screened-in porch just beyond the dining room. It was furnished with comfortable chairs and couches where one could read, relax and enjoy the view of the surrounding trees and feel the cool breeze.

The description lists 4 bedrooms, but there were some bedrooms which opened to other rooms, so one could almost count 6 bedrooms. - 1 on the main floor, as well as bedrooms both in the basement and on the 2nd floor. One of my kids claimed the screened-in porch/bedroom on the 2nd floor as their favorite, as it felt like being in a tree house.

The kitchen was modest size, well equipped with dishes, pots, pans, cooking items, etc. There is a full size refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher and double sink. Washer/dryer in the basement.

The house is located at the end of a quiet street, partly shaded by large trees. Residents and guests at this property are allowed access to the beach facing the Bay - a very short walk just across the street, between two properties.

What I especially like about this location is that one could walk or bike into Woods Hole (about 1 mile) without having to travel on the busy and windy main road. Once in town, there are a number of good restaurants, the WH Aquarium, small shops, etc. One can pick up the Steamship Authority ferry to Martha's Vineyard in town, as well as access the start of the Shining Sea Bikeway - a 10.7 mile trail for walking, biking or jogging - passing marshes and ocean views along the way.

Upon arrival, we were met at the house by a very friendly caretaker/property manager who made sure the house was in good order. When I texted him about difficulty closing one of the windows, he came over within minutes to fix it! Prior to our stay, if I had a question about the property, the owner responded very promptly.

The house has three bathrooms - one on each floor. There is a large, claw-footed bathtub in the third floor bathroom, and a separate entrance to the one shower on the main floor. As with old houses of this vintage, there is some mustiness and dust, tough for those with allergies. No A/C, but the shading from the trees and a few good fans could keep one comfortable, even had it been warmer. Mid-June is a perfect time to visit.
