About this property

Charming Quissett Cottage - Private beach / Walk to the Knob!

NOTE: Before submitting a booking request, please send me an inquiry with any questions you might have! I am happy to be as flexible as possible!

A little slice of heaven - romantic and charming setting, totally renovated in 2017. Beautifully furnished with brand new appliances, couch, chairs and bed, nautical décor including shiplap ceilings. A perfect get away for honeymooners & couples, a weekend away or parents with children, sleeps 4.

Less than a 2-minute walk to Quissett Harbor and the Knob. A beautiful place for a picnic or to watch the sunset. A half mile walk to Quissett Beach and Surf Drive Beach overlooking Martha’s Vineyard Island.

There is one bedroom and one bathroom which has a tub/shower. It features a brand new, fully equipped kitchen with electric stove and granite counter tops. There is a washer/dryer in the basement, dishwasher, microwave, 2 TV’s with cable and wifi are also included. Brand new patio with grill and patio furniture outside.

While the beach is a half mile walk, it may be helpful to have a car to beach chairs, coolers, umbrellas, etc. There is parking for two cars in the driveway. Nearby beaches – The Heights, Old Silver and Woodneck beach (great for kids).

There are two bikes available or rent additional ones at Corner Cycle: Just a short distance from the front door is one of the most well-maintained bike path roots in the East. Ride along the Shining Sea Bike Path to go to town or visit the quaint village of Woods Hole - all on protected and safe paved bike paths.

Downtown Falmouth is only a couple of miles away and has lots of restaurants and shopping. The harbor, restaurants, pubs, boutiques, Falmouth Farmers' Market, Cape Cod Baseball League Games and Thursday Night Town Band Concerts are all in town as well.

In addition, more Cape Cod destinations are a short drive or a ferry trip away. Take a mini road trip to Provincetown for a full view of Cape Cod or hop on the ferry at the Steamship Authority to Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket. The house is close to the Island Queen Ferry at Falmouth Harbor for a day trip to the Vineyard!

For rainy-day amusement, restaurants, shops, a movie theater and the aquarium are not far!

Ghosted by the property owner

Full disclosure, we never actually got to stay here. We had been planning our honeymoon to Cape Cod for a YEAR and had this property booked the whole time. Initially had pleasant contact with the owner. Never received arrival instructions, so after we had already flown to Boston and rented a car, I messaged her saying we would be there right around check-in time. Didn’t hear anything, but I’ve stayed at a million home-stays and know arrival is always different and sometimes you get a code or something right at check-in. Drove to the house and it was locked up, no clear entry instructions. Tried calling and messaging her for about an hour until we gave up and called VRBO. They also couldn’t get a hold of her. We ended up having to find a hotel to stay at and then coming home early. We thankfully got a quick refund from VRBO but this completely ruined our honeymoon.

Excellent accommodation and location, but the couch and rugs need a deep clean.

The only thing that prevented this, from being a five star review is that the couch needs a shampoo, as well as some of the mats on the floor. We enjoyed our stay immensely, and would likely stay again at the same place.

Great place in between Woods Hole and Falmouth! Love the area! You could come to relax, walk, read, bike or go out on the town in either place! Home is small but great for 2 people. Marissa has thought of everything to make your stay comfy!

Small but it grew on me.

Took a day or two for us to adjust to the size of the place but we absolutely enjoyed our stay. We now love Falmouth. Rode bikes every morning to Woods Hole for coffee and muffins. Did some morning jogs on the roads by the beach. Went to beach every day from around 4 until 6:30 or so. No crowds. We most likely will be back.

Weekend on the Cape

We had a weekend stay at Marissa’s place. Our first night was impacted by a recent nor’easter but she provided us with an alternative option until the heat and power were restored. We were appreciative of her communication and offer to provide us with a backup. Luckily, the amenities were fully up and running by 10pm and we enjoyed the rest of our stay!

Lovely & Clean, Tho Close to Busy Street

We enjoyed our stay and Marisa was a great host. House is thoughtfully set up, including on little things that matter a lot (to us) like dimmable lights, kitchen supplies, etc. The house is right off Woods Hole Road, so you will hear traffic. Loved the air conditioner in the bedroom, which blocked out the street noise.

Well located and perfect for couples or family with small children

The property was well located and well kept. Some minor maintenance was needed. There was A/C only in the bedroom because the family room unit was down, and the back patio lights also were out. But that didn't keep us from having a great stay in Falmouth.

Nice retreat

Property is in a great location and is a very cute little house. It is nicely decorated and comfortable. Great for a couple. Easy access to all and use of bikes a plus. Unfortunately the property keeps getting scammed as a listing on Craig's List and we showed up and other people were already at the house who thought they booked through Craig's List and it was a hassle to sort this out. A better check-in, house access method needs to be put into place to avoid this in the future.
