The kitchen was beautiful and well stocked for cooking or baking. Lovely deck where we and our dog enjoyed much time. Enjoyed basil from the beautiful raised garden on the deck. The turkeys and bunnies were a plus to enjoy. Easy to use smart tv. Comfortable beds and easy to use on site washer and dryer. The property manager was easy to reach and very responsive to our needs. Hope to stay there another time.

Spacious, pleasant and peaceful property. This vrbo is handy to all of the Upper Cape and the Mid-Cape as well as Falmouth beaches. It was nicely appointed and pet friendly. Wildlife walked through the yard several times, which was a pleasant addition.

Nice house - very clean

Kitchen is well equipped but we did not use the oven. We did boil some lobsters and had them on the back deck. Check in was easy as was check out. Host texted the key code the day of our arrival. Not too many chores to do to get out the door.

Perfect home base for our family vacation in Cape Cod. Spacious, well-appointed 3-bedroom house on big lot located in woodsy setting on a very quiet street. Large back deck was perfect spot for morning coffee and afternoon cocktails. Fresh herbs in planters on deck were a nice touch.Located a short drive from Falmouth Harbor, Woods Hole, Pocasset and Mashpee. Many great restaurants and bars between these locations, and of course beautiful beaches and marinas everywhere. Property Manager Susan, who lives nearby, was very friendly and responsive, as was owner Bill Tomic. Everything was as advertised. Our family will be back.

Great place for our family of 4 and our dog. Bill was very responsive and available without being intrusive. We’ve been coming to Falmouth for 20+ years and learned about the Epic Oyster from his recommendation. We would definitely return to his place.

Our Cape Cod Family Vaca!

We had a lovely stay. This home is wonderful for families because it is spacious and the living room, dining room and kitchen are all in one open concept area so everyone can be together. The 3 bedrooms are large and the mattresses are comfy. There is a back deck to enjoy as well . The home has lots of games to play and the kitchen is well stocked. It even has a lobster pot! A car is needed but you are in close proximity to restaurants amd beaches.

Great base for exploring the Cape

We needed a place to stay the weekend for my wife to run the Falmouth Road Race. This spot was perfect for us. Here are the positives: clean, spacious, comfortable, on quiet road but close to Routes 151 and 28. It also has a large yard ideal for kids and/or dogs (we brought our two dogs). Bill, the owner, was very communicative and accommodating. We weren't looking for a vacation house, e.g., close to the beach. Our priority was for a comfortable, quiet, home that would allow us to bring our dogs. We couldn't have made a better choice.

Cape Cod Getaway

Prior to arriving, I asked what the check-in process was and was told by the owner that he would meet me in the driveway with the code. You can understand my confusion when I arrived and he was inside the house--I've never had this happen before. The owner was friendly and gave my son and I a tour of the house and then had me decide on the front door code before he left. Once he left, my son and I placed our belongings inside and were pleasantly surprised at how clean the house was--I often wipe down surfaces that I plan to use (i.e., remote, toilet, shower, etc.) and every surface was very clean! My son and I then left to grab some dinner and when we arrived back, we heard a dog barking and saw people outside of the property walking around. Thinking it was the neighbors, I didn't worry but when I saw them again the next morning I was confused as this time they entered the basement. I reached out to the owner to ask and that is when he let me know a family was staying downstairs. I wish this was made clear in the description of the house as I felt like I could not get comfortable the remainder of our stay. On a more positive note, the house was in a great location; it was nice being so close to the beach, a variety of restaurants and best of all, within 15 minutes of family we had not seen in some time. All in all, our stay was okay as we spent most of the time out and about exploring the surrounding towns and enjoying the beautiful weather.
