Cozy Cottage 1/2 mile to Woods Hole village

1 bed 1 bath cottage 1/2 mile walk to Woods Hole village, Ferry/Bus terminal, and bike path. Access requires many stairs. Amenities include: full size memory foam mattress, gas range, microwave, dishwasher, full laundry, coffee maker, toaster, WiFi, smart TV, kitchen utensils, cooking oils/spices, outdoor grill, volleyball, soccer ball, and football. Bed linens, towels, and beach towels are provided.

100% of electricity is renewably sourced and 10% of gross annual revenue goes to supporting groundbreaking science in Woods Hole.

We welcome Inquiries for special pricing on stays of 10 nights or longer, particularly in May, June, and Sept.

DISCLAIMERS:
-Access requires many stairs, we are not a good fit for folks with mobility issues.

-There is no Air Conditioning. Our proximity to the ocean renders it unnecessary on all but rare occasions.

-Demand for our cottage as well as our turnover team's time are HIGHLY SEASONAL which requires us to employ a strict cancellation/refund policy in order to operate effectively.

-Once booked, guests will not be refunded for:

--Inclement weather forecasts except when extreme storm warnings are in effect and/or extended power outages are expected.

--Neighborhood noise: landscaping, nearby home repairs, tree trimming, children/family noises, trucks idling for propane/fuel oil deliveries, general deliveries, septic pumping, etc.

--If you book the wrong dates and fail to request cancellation within 48 hours, our cancellation/refund policy will firmly apply.

--Lack of cleanliness. Our turn team now takes photos/video between each guest. If you have a legitimate cleanliness complaint, there are always clean spare linens/towels/couch cover on site for immediate use and if assistance is needed to take care of something overlooked, our turn team is local and can generally be back on site quickly during reasonable hours.

Quiet get-away

The property is small but very clean, with lots of extras like a selection of spices, a variety of towels, and a fabulous private deck. It has a washer and drier and a dishwasher - all bonuses in my book! I would definitely stay there again.

Great cottage in woods hole area

Had a wonderful weekend - a great place to stay for close access to downtown Falmouth and the island ferries. Cottage was super clean with a great deck to chill out on. Host was super supportive and had an easy check in/out process. Two thumbs up!

Just right for getaway!

Loved the cottage. It was just right for our little getaway. Rhys was responsive to our questions and gave us good suggestions for the area restaurants and places. Appreciated the use of the bikes. Great location for a bike ride into towns, beaches, and a day trip to Martha’s Vineyard.

Great space for a couple to relax. Well laid out use of the space - nothing feels cramped in <500 sqft. The porch extends the living space nicely. No A/C, but windows and fans gave a good cross breeze. (Not sure it would be great if the weather were in the 90s, though.) Great location for 'base camp'! We biked into Woods Hole at least daily, did the entire Shining Sea bike trail, and used the trail to get to beaches - all easy peasy. Responsive manager/owner gave helpful local info on finding beaches (with parking!) for kayak launching. We hope to be back!

Cozy hilltop retreat in Woods Hole

This cozy hilltop cottage served as a wonderful retreat for my mom and me for four nights over the Labor Day 2024 weekend. We loved how clean, bright and quiet it was; its simple unadorned charm reminded us of cottages of yesteryear and its proximity to Woods Hole Village was ideal. With my help my mom, age 88, managed the 16 stairs going up to the property, but as the listing notes this place isn’t for people with mobility issues. The owner Rhys was very good at communicating with us and we greatly enjoyed our vacation at his cottage.

2/10 Terrible

Liked: Location

I rented the “cozy” cottage to work on a book, had to leave 2 days early because of unbearable noise. The neighbor was essentially building/rebuilding a house 12 ft away. The owner of the cottage claimed not to know before renting it to me. There were safety issues: The toaster was old and a hazard. Every time I plugged a device into the wall in both the bedroom & the desk area, the socket emitted a spark, so didn’t use the outlet near the bed. A chirping smoke alarm woke me at 3 am on one of the nights. I had to search the cottage for batteries to change it. The owner left no spare garbage bags in the cottage. Luckily I'd been travellng with one. The futon cover in the television area was dirty. There was slight ammonia smell in the cottage when I arrived. It dissipated when opening windows was an option. Unfortunately for most of my stay I needed to keep windows closed (for noise mitigation) and was unable to use the outside area during the day due to noise. from the building site, noise which was audible from 2 blocks away. The owner of the property was grandiose, insouciant, dishonest, and unhelpful in his responses and took 21 hours to respond to noise complaint. I travel often and have never had a negative experience. Photos below show the construction site, & proximity of it to cottage.

Great little cottage

My husband and I stayed here with our 1 year old son. It was perfect base for us to take day trips along the cape. The best part was the walking access to the ferry to Martha’s Vineyard. This was great Bc we didn’t have to deal with the process of parking at the ferry lot 2 miles up the road, taking a bus to the ferry etc. we just walked .7 miles from the cottage and walked right into the ferry! So convenient. Woods hole is a really cool place in cape cod, it’s still filled with locals and has a ton of research facilities which makes it a little more low key than a place like chatham or Dennis etc which was perfect for our style. Cottage was very clean and host was very easy to communicate with. If you have young kids or an elderly person just note you do have to walk up stairs built into an embankment to get to the cottage. We placed the baby’s pack and play in the office as there was not enough room in the bedroom for the bed and the pack and play, but that was not an issue for us. Cottage is in a quiet neighborhood which was really nice. Comes loaded with all the cooking spices! We would stay here again for sure!

Delightful Cottage in Wood's Hole

This was my first experience with a home rental through Vrbo. It was very easy to communicate with the owner, not only about the practical things but about what to do and see while I was there. The cottage was perfect for one or two but there was futon for the kids. It was well-furnished, tastefully but not over-done. Very much a Cape-Cod feeling.. Great base camp for biking and kayaking.
