A Peaceful Retreat
Review Submitted: May 30, 2011
Date of Stay: May 2011
My husband and I stayed for 9 nights in May 2011. We were delighted with the location of the house, near Falmouth, where there are plenty of shops and restaurants, and also some malls on the edge of town. We agreed we'd chosen well to stay in this area on the Cape. The waterside frontage was a huge plus, because of the lovely view.
Unfortunately we had pretty awful weather the week we were there, but having the TV and free wi-fi, plus the view, helped. On the better days, the views across the pond are fabulous and we saw a plethora of wildlife, from an otter to woodpeckers, to cardinal birds, to a coyote! A great haven for lovers of wildlife. There was a robin's nest on the balcony, much to our delight.
The house is clean and well-equipped (although it doesn't have a dishwasher) and has the great advantage of a washing machine and tumble dryer, which are much more efficient than the ones we have in the UK! Due to the bad weather we spent most of our evenings in watching TV in the comfort of the living room ... or we went out into Falmouth to eat.
We only lived in the upstairs part of the house, as there were only the two of us, but downstairs there is a twin bedroom and another sitting room, so the house would suit two couples quite well (although there's only one bathroom which is upstairs).
Everywhere on the Cape is explorable by car from the house.
The house's owner, Giti, was so helpful in giving advice on where to go and what to do, and couldn't have been more obliging. We would definitely recommend the house to couples or small families who want to stay somewhere quiet, away from town.
We'd love to stay there again some time, but hopefully in good weather!
