Of course, the main attraction is Old Silver Beach, which is a short 1/3 mile walk, most of it with sidewalks. You can smile and wave at the cars who line up and wait for literally hours to get a parking spot as you stroll onto the beach. The beach has a snack bar, showers, and bathrooms, all very well maintained. Not to mention the sugar sand beach and swimming that make it known as a top beach on Cape Cod...Google it! At the end of the beach day, walk 5 minutes home and enjoy a private barbecue in the yard while the children play in the 1/2 acre open lot that is surrounded by trees and bushes that provide a barrier to the street and gives you exquisite privacy. You are also within a 1.5 mile bike riding distance to the Shining Sea bike way, which goes all the way to Woods Hole. Biking to Woods Hole, and jumping on the ferry with your bike for a trip to the Islands is always a favorite activity. Guest access You are welcome in all parts of the cottage, and in the basement with the exception of the part of the basement that is closed off with orange fencing. There is 1/2 acre of land which also has unrestricted use. Other things to note Our family has owned this cottage since it was built in 1967. Over the years, 4 generations have reunited here in the summer. When our matriarch, Lorraine, passed away this winter at the young age of 93, we decided it was time to share our enjoyment of Falmouth and Old Silver Beach with others. Lorraine spent every summer here since it was built, and although we have tried to make the cottage aesthetically pleasing to anyone who comes to stay, you may still find of few of Lorraine's personal favorite things around. We have also been busy doing some updating, including a new bed in the master bedroom, a new minisplit A/C and heat unit, new sheets, blankets and towels, and an indoor shower. But don't worry, Lorraine was meticulous about keeping up the cottage, including installing hardwood floors, new windows, and updating the landscaping on a continual basis. For anyone who is not familiar with this section of Falmouth, we have access to great restaurants without going through the stop and go traffic of downtown Falmouth. Family favorites include the Courtyard Restaurant and Bar and Chart Room, just a few miles away without going through downtown Falmouth traffic. There are also convenience stores and a liquor store within 3 miles. As I have an extensive history in the summer rental industry, I value your input and look forward to any suggestions that could make your and future guests' stays even better.
