About this property

Summer 2025 OPEN! Walk to Great Pond, Playground, Close to beaches Central AC.

Welcome to the quintessential Cape Cod town of Falmouth in the desirable Great Harbors neighborhood! We are excited to share with you our dream beach cottage. Having rented on the Cape for over 30 years, we consider ourselves the “professional renters” and know first hand what helps to make the perfect worry-free vacation!

The Space
Our home was completely renovated inside and out in 2020. Literally everything is BRAND NEW! From the fully stocked kitchen to the cozy and comfortable beds.
As you enter the front door you are welcomed into a large, open great room with cathedral ceilings, plenty of lighting including recessed and coastal fixtures, brand new bright white kitchen with high end finishes and appliances. The quartz island that seats four has plenty of room for games, puzzles and happy hour cocktails! For a sit down meal our dining area has seating for six with an extendable table for guests. An oversized sectional provides comfortable seating for everyone along with a 65” wall mounted Smart TV with cable. Hardwood floors throughout, central AC controlled with a Nest thermostat.
Off the main living area is a full bathroom with a tiled shower and upgraded finishes. Hand soap and towels are included of course!
Down the hall are two queen bedrooms, each decorated and furnished in a casual coastal theme. A spacious closet and dresser in each so you can unpack and feel right at home. Nightstands on BOTH sides of the beds!!
The master bedroom completes your single level living with a king sized bed, another spacious closet, dresser, and a full en-suite bathroom with high end fixtures. All our bedrooms include brand new mattresses, freshly laundered linens and beds made upon your arrival.

The house is great but you may enjoy relaxing in our private, peaceful backyard even more! The spacious patio has a wicker dining set for six, an offset umbrella, propane grill, and Adirondack chairs around a wood fire-pit. Tiki torches and patio lights complete the evening ambiance! Plenty of lawn space for games, they are included too and will be stored in the garage.
Who doesn’t love an outdoor shower after a long day at the beach? Our brand new oversized shower with separate changing area will be perfect!

The Extras
Our cottage is stocked with all the comforts of home and absolutely everything to help you enjoy your best Cape Cod vacation ever!
Just some of the extras include beach chairs, umbrella and beach towels; plenty of lawn games, board games and puzzles; hand soap for the bathrooms and kitchen; hair dryers; iron and ironing board; all towels and bedding freshly laundered.
We also include enough basic supplies to get you through a day or two without having to go to the store: k-cups, paper towels, toilet paper, dish, dishwasher, hand and laundry soap.
The Green Harbors Resident Association allows renters to purchase a weekly pool membership which includes unlimited access to the in-ground heated water view pool, children’s pool, tennis courts, pickle ball courts, recreational club, beach house and all association activities for that week. It was $350 for a week (Summer 2024 season) and includes passes for 6 people. A child 3 and under does not require a pass. This can be purchased ahead of time through the association or when you arrive.

The Location
Great Harbors is one of the most desirable waterfront neighborhoods in Falmouth. We fell in love with the area immediately! We are a short walk away from a small private association beach on Great Pond. Great for little ones to play, launching your kayak/paddleboard or watching the sunset with a cocktail. The association also includes a playground, beach volleyball court and dock space for drop-off and pick-ups. All within a short walk. There are several public boat launches nearby as well.

If you need to venture outside our community, you will find a sidewalk along Acapesket and Menauhant Roads to bring you right to the ocean! Just a little over a mile. Both Menauhant Beach and Bristol Beach are a short bike ride away.

Within 2 miles you will find Smitty’s Homemade Ice Cream, Cape Cod Winery and Bad Martha’s Brewery. Something for everyone! Less than 10 minute drive to downtown Falmouth. Honestly, too many great things in Falmouth to mention but know that you are close to all of them!

Beautiful house

LOVED this house. So beautiful, so well maintained, impeccably clean, had everything we needed. Home owners were incredibly accommodating and welcoming. Wish the neighborhood pool was included in the cost. House wasn’t walkable to an ocean beach, but was a super close and easy drive to local beaches. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect stay

The house was beautiful and fulfilled all of our needs. The host family was very gracious and thought of all of our needs and beyond. The bed was so comfortable that I slept better there than I do at home. I personally didn’t use it, but my family found the outdoor shower to be a real treat. I know that they can’t control it, but we had perfect weather and a wonderful vacation. Thank you very much Ford Family.

East Falmouth Great Harbor house

Great spot in a quiet neighborhood. Nice backyard with grill, firepit and outside shower. Cornhole and other games available. Beaches fairly close but need to drive to carry chairs and coolers. Menauhant-1.5 miles and a bit rocky, Falmouth Heights-2.0 miles but the best beach is Old Silver Beach about 5 miles away. Nice sand and snack shack.

Great Falmouth property with ample amenities!!

We had an awesome stay at this Falmouth gem! The owner has gone above and beyond the call of duty, providing so many helpful items and every possible yard/outside game and activity imaginable. Our 4 y/o loved the house so much, he decided he didn’t like the beach anymore! Luckily he got over the beach thing, with the help of the sand toys available at the house! Owner was super responsive and understanding. Home is beautifully maintained and furnished. Outdoor shower is a summer dream. Highly recommend this property, you won’t regret booking it!!

Beautiful property, great location and neighborhood

My small family and I visited in mid-summer. The property was beautiful; recently renovated and clean. Easy access with a personalized key code made entry and exit a breeze. My wife and I really appreciated the small touches, like extra toys for my 2 year old to play with when she grew tired of her own toys. Fun ring-swing game in the backyard as well! Host was very communicative leading up with great recommendations on things to do in the area, especially with a little one. Great location, very short drive to beaches and downtown Falmouth. Hope to return soon.

About the host

Hosted by Kathleen Ford

Host profile image
Growing up in Boston, now living in NH. Cape Cod has always had a special place in my heart. As a child I would come for a week or two each summer with family. When I had children of my own we did the same. We were never lucky enough to own our own property but rented all over. Some of our favorite towns were Chatham, Harwich, Dennis and Falmouth.

Why they chose this property

When the opportunity came for us to purchase a home in Cape Cod our first choice was Falmouth. We love that Falmouth has the summer/vacation/beach vibe of your typical Cape towns but also has an amazing downtown area with shops and restaurants. You can get something at Walmart or shop at Home Goods without having to drive to Hyannis or off-Cape. Literally so much available so close by while still feeling like you are away from it all!

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with our home immediately. It was perfectly remodeled with everything new. We didn't have to do a thing! The neighborhood is exactly what we wanted - lots of side streets for walking or biking, walk to the shores of Great Pond to launch a Paddleboard or watch the sunset and even a swimming pool overlooking the water. Close proximity to multiple beaches was a must. Just 1.5 miles to Menauhant Beach. Also a 10 minute ride to downtown, not to mention all the other great things to see/do in Falmouth!
