The kitchen is well-equipped with stainless appliances and everything you'll need to make meals for your family and friends. The back of the house opens onto a wooden deck with a large table and stone patio with lounge chairs and a propane grill. The front and back lawn provide plenty of peaceful space for relaxing or playing with children. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms- two with queen beds, one of which opens to deck with steps to the yard, and a third with two twin beds; all beds have a memory foam mattresses and two bedrooms have AC. There is an additional room upstairs with a skylight and sofa that can be used for work or reading. There are three full bathrooms, two with showers and one with a bathtub, and an outdoor shower.

We love our summer home and hope that you will make great memories here as well. Enjoy a chance to experience quintessential Woods Hole.

This house would be OK in the cool season but was nearly uninhabitable when the weather was warm.

The house was generally fine except for the major discomfort described below. The neighborhood is pleasant and the location is good, as it is a short walk to the MV ferry, several restaurants, and the fascinating marine research activities centered in Woods Hole. One could have a pleasant stay during cooler weather. However when the weather is hot, as it was during the week we rented, it is in my opinion close to uninhabitable. The bedrooms are all on the upper level (see listing photos - there are three plus there is a walk-through alcove on the way to another bedroom). They have little ventilation; there is a single inadequate window AC unit in one bedroom; and only some very low-end fans were provided. As a result, the bedroom temperatures were much hotter than the outside temperatures. Opening all the windows, and doing our best to re-position the fans in every conceivable way for best effect, brought our group little relief. Temperatures were in the mid-high 80's during our stay in early August; the bedrooms were in the high 80's and into the 90's at times, and very stuffy as well. The sole AC unit was small and quite inadequate. The one bedroom with the AC did cool down (leaving the loud window unit on at all times) but the other bedrooms were too uncomfortable for our family of five adults, as several were unable to sleep for the first several days. Instead of staying for the week as planned, several of our group decided to leave; one went home early to NYC and another left to stay with relatives elsewhere on the Cape). The owner was communicative before and during our stay, but did not offer to make any adjustments to the rent for the inconvenience, or to provide or reimburse better fans or ventilation, but simply said she would consider our suggestions in the future. In short I would have given the house a good score if we had stayed there during a cool period such as April/May or October, but I cannot give it a good score based on our experience in August. I understand and I am sympathetic to owners for trying to cover their costs through means such as VRBO; I own several vacation houses up and down the East Coast that I occasionally rent out to guests, but I have great effort to ensure each guest is very comfortable and receives good value. In this case the house did not serve our purposes and we regretted not have chosen another property. I sincerely hope the owner invests a bit to address the issues and has success in the future.

Another Terrific Stay in Woods Hole

Enjoyed two visits to this Woods Hole property in 2018 - Memorial Day weekend and third week of August. Such a great rental! A block from Stony Beach and two minutes to WH d'town. Lots of room for our family of four and puppy. Even had friends come from MV for an overnight stay. Kitchen is fully equipped for dinners in. Back patio is a dream. New bathroom is terrific. The owner, Karen, is such a pleasure to deal with. Oh yes - and there is a "secret" dog beach just up the street. Could not ask for anything more. We will be back certainly!

About the host

Hosted by Karen Dell

We started coming to Woods Hole as summer scientists back in 2004. Our whole family loved Woods Hole and after many summers here, we were lucky to purchase this house in 2011. We spend as much time as we can here but when we can't be here, we are happy to share our home and our love of the Woods Hole area with visitors.

Why they chose this property

We think our house has the perfect Woods Hole location; half way between the village center and Stoney Beach. The village offers restaurants (try the popovers at Pie in the Sky or dinner at Water Street Kitchen), coffee shops, world renowned science labs (MBL and WHOI), the Martha's Vineyard Ferry and the start of the Shining Sea Bike Path. Stoney Beach on Buzzards Bay is the "town" beach. With its typically calmer waters, you can choose to build sand castles or swim for miles. Our back garden with lawn and deck is a lovely place to relax with your morning coffee or enjoy dinner with friends or playing with your children.
