JFK once said, "all of us have in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears" - "we are tied to the ocean" and when returning to the sea, "we are going back from whence we came". Falmouth Heights Beach is lovely with soft golden sand. Many families enjoy fun moment on the waters off Falmouth Sound.

Surf Drive Beach is the site of the Old Stone Dock, attacked during the War of 1812. It was once where "packets" (mail ships) set sail. While part of New England maritime history, it is now more subdued. There's decent parking, it's clean, safe, with excellent views of Vineyard Sound. It reflects the seasons. One can watch osprey, gulls, and cormorants. It's more for relaxation than swimming. Beautiful eastern views.

You can walk all the way to Chapoquoit with great views. One of the best places to watch Sunset over the ocean. Lots of rocks & shells, so bring watershoes.

I booked this way before the pandemic excited based on the reviews. Issues started when I hadn't…read moreheard from them at all about their being open this summer. I emailed them only to found out they were not going to open the inn to guests. They offered the following - "We have an independent garage building on the property with a beautiful, airy 1-bedroom apartment above it that we are happy to move you to. It is quite an upgrade, as it is much larger, has a big balcony and has its own kitchen." She told me they would move us into that space at the same rate as long as we left a good review. Unfortunately we agreed to this and came upon several issues on arrival. 1 - I was told the unit we stayed in was a higher rate but that is not true. You rent it for $1700/week which is ~243 per night (before taxes etc.). We are being charged ~312 per night which was the B&B rate and did not get breakfast. 2 - The condition of this unit is not good. A. There are no curtains on the door that overlooks the driveway or in several of the bedroom and bathroom windows. It presents a significant privacy issue. B. The tv does not work properly. It posts an error message if you try and change the channel. C. The refrigerator is dirty. D. The condition of the bed is horrific. Throwing a cushion on top of an old worn mattress does not make a great place to sleep. E. There is no shower head so the water just sprays all over the place. The bathroom was also very poorly cleaned. 3. You told me you were not accommodating guests at the inn and that is clearly not the case as the parking lot is full and we have spoken to them. Lots of excuses were made. In their defense - they did credit me back the difference in rates. Overall this was just a disappointing stay.

Rideaway Adventures - Mashpee, Cape Cod Boomsauce Score: BS +++ (Amazing location! now that's…read moreboomsauce!) Tried booking through TripAdvisor--bit funky. So I went straight to the source and connected with Mike Morrison, who was not only professional and honest, but genuinely invested in making our family kayak dream happen. He even dropped a discount code like a true Cape Cod MVP. The experience? Unreal. We paddled out to a private beach only accessible by boat--and it was to die for. Calm waters, untouched shoreline, and the kind of peace that makes you forget your inbox exists. I still can't believe people get to do this regularly. It was truly memorable, and Rideaway made it seamless. They also offer sunset tours and paddle board rentals, which we're already eyeing for next time. The staff? Mostly young, but super informative, professional, and full of good vibes. Rideaway doesn't just rent gear--they curate moments. Boomsauce Scale B- basura (trash) BS basic (come on!

The open layout creates great communal spaces for gathering and dining, while still allowing for privacy -- and the view of Buzzards Bay makes it even more special. Morning coffee and evening sunsets there are hard to beat. The tiny house-style accommodations and Airstreams add a unique charm that makes the stay feel special rather than typical. Everything was spotless and well cared for. You can tell they take pride in maintaining the grounds and units. What really stood out was the staff -- friendly, attentive, and genuinely invested in creating a great guest experience. They represent hospitality at its best. If you're looking for a venue for a wedding, retreat, or corporate event, this place -- especially with those bay views -- would be ideal. And if you're a dog owner, you'll love how welcoming they are to pups. We'll absolutely be back -- and next time we're bringing family and friends with us.

We opted to stay in a classic cabin, but airstreams, and tents are available as well. The classic cabin was spacious and comfortable and well stocked with a small kitchen. We did have an accessible cabin, so our bathroom was a great size as well. The community of AutoCamp is such a vibe. We loved walking through the paths seeing all the different "neighborhoods" we were surrounded by. There is a general store onsite for simple needs. The kitchen also has some great options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The property sits right off the Shining Sea Bikeway. We brought our bikes and hopped on and off the path to go to the beach, lunch and dinner. You can also rent bikes onsite. One of the nights we preordered a meal that we could grill on our fire, everything we needed was provided and it was awesome to have a chill night and be able to cook our own food. In the common area they also have live music at night, which we could hear from our camp, so that was a total bonus! Lentz_explore
