About the owner: We are long term Western Mass residents who love the ocean and especially Cape Cod. When we left New England, we promised ourselves when the opportunity presented itself we would purchase a home here. We love this place and hope that you will enjoy your stay.
Why this property? We love old homes. This property has a long and rich history. Falmouth Heights was the first resort area developed in the late 1870's. Our property was built in 1880 and has been a boarding house and inn. It has had many structural updates, but its interior features has been preserved. The rooms are lined with bead board and the floors were installed with an antique heart pine.
Also,we wanted to purchase a home big enough to entertain large families. This is the perfect place. With its many bedrooms (6) and bathrooms (7.5) many of them as ensuite, we felt that families can take in the spectacular ocean views from the 2nd floor deck and living room an enclosed sunroom. Family members can also enjoy spending time together cooking in the large kitchen and eating together in the separate dining room. The house is large enough to provide family members with both privacy and socializing.

Family Reuniom
Guest Review: I live on Cape Cod, but I wanted my family from Connecticut and Maryland to enjoy our beautiful summer. There were 6 adults and 3 children (8,11, & 14)staying at the house and everyone loved their rooms. They all had air conditioning and most had their own bathroom. We made good use of the grill and found everything we could want in the kitchen. We also enjoyed the games and puzzles. And of course the beach! Falmouth has a terrific beach a short walk from the house. Downtown Falmouth is lively with many shops and restaurants. We highly recommend this rental!

Falmouth family vacation
We recently rented Gerry and Reene's house for a family vacation. The house was fantastic. The location is perfect--walking distance to the beach and several restaurants, and had great views of the ocean and Martha's Vineyard. The house itself was beautiful with more than enough room for the 10 of us and it had every amenity you could think of. The second floor wrap around deck offered incredible views and was a great place to hang out and relax. Gerry and Reene were very easy to work with and responded promptly to any correspondence. We loved it so much that we booked next year's vacation before we left.

Great House for Groups!
This was the third time my family has rented this house and we love it! It's a great size (with 2 kitchens) and in a great location. There are several restaurants within walking distance as well as the ferry to Martha's Vineyard and the beach. The house is extremely well stocked and has everything you could need. Even if the weather does not cooperate during the trip, it's enjoyable just staying inside the house and taking advantage of the great views from the porch. The top deck is our favorite part! We would all highly recommend this house. It's perfect for large groups as every bedroom has its own bathroom and ample space. Gerry is extremely responsive and great to work with.
