Our regular check-in time is 3:00 p.m. and check-out time is 9:00 a.m. We are flexible in allowing guests to check in early and stay late providing we donŐt have any other guest or groups conflicting with your stay. Please inquire before your arrival.
The Cape House will probably be open upon your arrival. If not, there is a push-button combination lock on the front door. See your confirmation letter for the code.
Please only park in the backyard. Park on an angle and keep the middle section of the yard open. This will facilitate easy access for all guests.
Blankets, pillows and spreads are provided at The Cape House. Guests do need to bring the appropriate linens for the beds and towels. Check the house layout to determine the types of beds provided.
The kitchen at The Cape House is stocked with an assortment of pots, pans, mixing and serving bowls, baking sheets, dishes, bowls, silverware, drinking and wine glasses, mugs, cooking utensils, knives, cutting boards and more. There is enough equipment to prepare for and serve 25-30 people. The kitchen has two full size refrigerators, electric range and oven, microwave oven, toaster and coffee makers. (There is an extra refrigerator in the garage.) We provide dishwashing soap and clean up supplies. Guests are expected to wash, dry and put away the dishes they use.
Extra supplies such as toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, pump soap, dish washing soap and light bulbs are found in the outside storage shed and in the hall closet across from the half bath on the first floor.
The Cape House is cleaned before you arrive and again after your group leaves. There is a central vacuum system throughout the house. The hose and nozzle are located in the downstairs hall closet if you feel the need to touch up during your stay. The vacuum hook ups are located in the kitchen behind the dining room door, at the foot of the stairs and in the upstairs hallway.
Full trash bags should be stored in the barrels in the shed located in the back yard. Recyclables (plastic, tin and glass) should go in the blue recycling bin in the garage. Newspapers can be placed in paper bags and stacked alongside the recycling bin in the garage. Any deposit cans or bottles that are not taken with you should be placed in the barrel at the foot of the deck steps. If this barrel gets full, please remove the bag and store in the shed. Be sure to reline the barrel with another trash bag.
We provide vinyl table clothes for the kitchen and dining room tables. If you would like linen table clothes and napkins you will need to rent or bring them. They are kept in the drawers of the built-in hutch in the dining room.
The Cape House has two large Webber gas grills. You never have to worry about running out of propane because these grills are hooked up to a master tank. As a result, the grills cannot be moved.
There is a washer and dryer in the basement for guests to use.
The phone number of The Cape House is 508-548-2872. This is a restricted line. For any calls outside Falmouth, you will need to use a personal calling card. There is no answering machine on the phone to receive messages. You need to dial the 508 area code for each local call.
The Cape House is located in a quaint neighborhood on a roomy one-acre lot. The front of the house stands across from a motel, while the back of the house is abutted by residential properties. Please be courteous of our neighbors and refrain from loud noise after 9:00 pm.
Because some future guests may be allergic, The Cape House has a strict no pet policy.
Smoking is not permitted in the house, on the deck or on the front porch of The Cape House.
The house is just 3/10 of a mile, about a 5 minute walk to the Falmouth Heights Beach.
Please turn off the lights, turn the thermostat down (if necessary), pick up excess trash, wash and put away the dishes and leave the place in an orderly, broom swept manner. If you use the portable heaters located in the upstairs bedrooms, be sure to turn off and unplug the units.
