The perfect seaside cottage in East Falmouth! The Minnow is an adorable 2 bed/1 bath 1940's home with central AC, outdoor shower, backyard w/ fire pit and Adirondack chairs. A half mile walk to our neighborhood beach, 5-10min drive to Falmouth beaches, Mashpee Commons, downtown Falmouth, and Island Queen to Martha's Vineyard. The perfect location to explore for up to 5 people. Dog friendly too with fully fenced in yard! Enjoy this darling sea cottage hosted by a 5 year Superhost! The Minnow is a small and sweet Cape cottage that was built in the 1940's as officer's quarters for Camp Edwards. It has been in the same family since it purchased from the army in the mid 1950's and has seen generations of family members for summertime fun ever since! This adorable 2 bedroom home is the perfect place to enjoy all Falmouth has to offer with friends or family. The Minnow can accommodate 5 people with 1 double bed and 1 queen bed in each bedroom, and a twin sleeper sofa on the enclosed porch (listed as bedroom 3). The cottage itself is charming and thoughtfully designed with antique and nautical touches. We've created a casual space for you to feel at home, inside and out – cook dinner and sit outside in the patio to take in the salty air, make memories around the fire-pit while you make s'mores, or relax indoors in the cozy living room and enjoy the 50" smart TV ready for you to sign into your own streaming accounts. Open the windows and feel the summer breeze or turn on the central AC to cool off after a long beach day. The layout includes a galley kitchen with stove, full fridge, dishwasher, a dining area, living space with sectional couch and accent chair, a bathroom with stand up shower, 2 bedrooms, and a lovely front porch.  Beach access to our scenic neighborhood beach is a .5mile walk to Bayside Drive. Larger town beaches are a 5-10 minute drive with paid parking. Bring a kayak or canoe and launch from our neighborhood landing, or launch your larger boat at the marina down the street. We are a quick 10 minute boat ride to beautiful Washburn Island and Waquoit Bay, or a 20 minute boat ride to Martha's Vineyard. Take a short walk to the Point at the end of Seacoast Shores and take in Vineyard Sound at sunset – it doesn't get better!  Set amongst other humble summer homes, you'll drive down our dirt road and see The Minnow – a private gravel driveway and our shingled cottage smattered with growing pink sea roses. Our house is the second to last home before the water's edge. We welcome vacationers with dogs and have a fully fenced backyard! While most beaches on Cape Cod are not dog-friendly in summer, there are nearby dog activities like walking trails, beach walks, Mashpee Commons, and pet-friendly beaches in Barnstable, Eastham, Truro, Provincetown, and more. We recommend researching pet-friendly beaches beforehand if you want to take your dog to the beach. We can provide a list of nearby pet-friendly activities – please ask! As homeowners with dogs, and many dog-owning guests that have stayed with us, you can absolutely enjoy Cape Cod to the fullest with a pup in tow! We cannot wait to host you for your next visit to Cape Cod, a truly special place to relax, take in the sea air and enjoy this salty slice of heaven. You'll be ready to come back for a return stay before you even leave!
