Great stay on Cape Cod

We rented the entire property, house and cottage, for a family gathering. There were 16 in our group and all were comfortably accommodated. The rooms were more spacious than they appear on the website. The dining area and kitchen easily met our needs. The location was a plus due to its ease of going anywhere on-Cape or off-Cape. We never had to sit in bumper-to-bumper traffic to/from our daily destinations. Jeanette, the property manager, was wonderful! She was very responsive to our few requests. The fact that 16 people stayed on the property and everyone was happy is a testament to the property and the management. (We are avid VRBO users and this has not always been the case.) The only reason I gave 4 stars vs. 5 is because the sofas and chairs in the sitting areas need to be replaced.. They were not comfortable and the appearance detracted from the ambiance of the home. Also there needs to be a better selection of sleeping pillows for the bedrooms. Other than those two issues I would give the property and it's management a solid 5 star rating.

Wedding trip to Cape Cod

We had a group of 8 and rented the main house. The location was perfect for our travels while there very centrally located. The bedrooms were very comfortable and spacious and loved the common areas were great. Very much enjoyed our stay and Jeanette’s response time was always immediate and accomodating. Would rent again for sure!!

Great for large group gathering

Jeanette was very responsive and easy to work with during our stay. The space was big enough for a family gathering and close to plenty of things to keep us busy. My kids especially loved the playground right across the street! We’d certainly love to return and stay again!

Great house for a family reunion. Really nice property.

We found the house to be very accommodating and so too the host. Every room was spacious and each with a private bathroom. Kitchen was very easy to make family meals in. Location on the bike trail and the free bikes was a big hit as was the pond across the street for kayaking and fishing. Plenty of parking. Only issue we had was the internet was terrible. Bad connection and many of us could not connect. House has only an extender and no direct access to the router--this should be fixed. But otherwise, everything else was excellent.

About the host

Hosted by Jeanette Robinson /Proprietor

I grew up in Menlo Park California, my Father was a native Cape Codder and my mother was a native Californian. I suppose my mother's influence kept my Father in California, but he always entertained the notion of moving back to Falmouth. The stretch of land Frederick William House sits on has been in my family for nearly a century, strawberry fields encompassed the stretch, and the 4 houses to the left and the right all belonged to long gone relatives. One by one the cousins, aunts and uncles sold, but when I discovered that 594 Palmer belonged to me after my last living relative on Cape Cod passed away, I felt impelled to keep the last of the homes and share this magical place with you.

Why they chose this property

Frederick William House has been in my family for nearly a century. We enjoy sharing this magical spot with others. The best memories are made with family.

What makes this property unique

If you want to 'get there' Frederick William House' is located in an deal spot for the active vacationer who wants to antique downtown, bike, or take in our picturesque landscapes. Easy drives to historic points of interest, walk to breakfast across the street to enjoy the best Irish Eggs Benedict you have ever had. Location, location, location. Come visit the birthplace of 'America the Beautiful' written by Katherine Lee Bates, and visit her child hood home. Take a trolly tour, see Nobska Light House in Woods Hole, still occupied and operated by the Coast Guard Chief. Take in every season, the colors of fall, the impressive frozen ponds in winter, the yellow bursts of color in spring, and the bluest, quiet lapping waves in summer. Cook out, enjoy your family, ferry to the islands, there is so much to do and see here!
