Elisa's Cottage - Your Family Vacation Destination

Inspired by the lighthouses of New England, this uniquely designed house is the perfect relaxing getaway for a family or small group of friends. This newly renovated home is nestled up high on a one acre lot at the end of a cul-de-sac in a tranquil residential neighborhood.

Walk to Quissett Harbor and The Knob where you will take in beautiful ocean views, enjoy the expansive, and never crowded beaches, and experience the best sunsets on Cape Cod. When you're ready to get some sand between your toes, I've got you covered with beach chairs, beach bags, coolers and cooler bags, beach towels and sunscreen.

After returning from the beach, enjoy our back deck with picnic table, ample cushioned seating, a gas grill, and outdoor shower. This is also a great spot for taking in the endless sea of twinkling, and sometimes shooting stars on a dark and quiet Cape Cod evening. Three steps down from the deck is a flat lawn area where bocci and croquet have been played for decades. If you're in the mood for toasting marshmallows, then simply sink into one of our Adirondack chairs out on the bluestone patio while you enjoy the warm glow of our garden firepit.



The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The bathroom offers a jetted tub and hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

We had a lovely stay at Elisa's Cottage in Woods Hole! Not exactly walking distance to most places, biking is possible, but we found that even in high season we could always find parking at the close beaches, Woods Hole, and Falmouth with minimal effort. The house was beautiful and very comfortable for 8 adults. The full baths were spacious with plenty of storage and the half bath and outdoor shower helped with 8 adults sharing. We cooked several meals and the kitchen had everything we needed plus some and it was surprisingly spacious. Three of us could easily work in there at a time. There was plenty of room inside and outside for us to all be together or spread out if we needed some space. The host was very welcoming and responsive. The extras like beach towels and chairs and snacks were awesome and saved us a little packing. We were very comfortable there. Highly recommend for spending a summer week in Cape Cod with 8!

Lovely house setting in a quiet, dead end street in Woodshole. The house layout and rooms as described and suited our needs with 6 adults and several young children. The kitchen was well stocked and we had everything we needed for the beach and backyard play. We did not try out the outdoor fire pit this visit but all the supplies were available for cookout. The home is beautifully maintained and very clean. Our host, Andrew, was very responsive when there were questions or needs. The adults could access the bike trail and jogging roads easily and very close to several Falmouth beaches by car.

Spectacular

We chose Elisa’s Cottage for a weekend visit with friends who live in the area. We could not have made a better choice. Andrew has thought of everything guests might need. The house is immaculately clean and thoughtfully decorated. It is spacious and comfortable. The location is quiet and private. Andrew met us at check in to make sure we had everything we needed. The goodies in the welcome basket were a nice touch! Thank you Andrew’

Golf outing

Over the years our golf gang has stayed in dozens of vacation rental locations and this was by far our best experience. The host made us feel like family friends and the home was immaculate. Every convenience was provided and well considered.

Fantastic weekend at Elisa's Cottage!

Elisa's Cottage is a beautiful home with an excellent host! Perfectly located close to the harbor, great restaurants, and downtown Main St., we couldn't have asked for more. The house is in pristine condition, and Andrew left us with a welcome basket of goodies, his private phone number, and a booklet of local activities and restaurants. We are already looking forward to our next visit!
