Inn on the Sound at Falmouth

Can't say enough good things about this bed and breakfast. Excellent inn, great service, awesome breakfast, clean and very comfortable. Great views of the ocean, minutes to the beach. Short drive to shopping and the center of town. Debbie is an excellent host, from recommending area attractions to ensuring you have everything you need to keeping the fireplace going in the front room. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and definitely plan to return. Highly recommended.

After a hectic week of holiday gatherings and helping a family member move out of her apartment, my husband and I decided on a last minute overnight to Falmouth to celebrate New Year's Eve. With sheer luck on our side... "The Inn on the Sound" had availability. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the lovely and hardworking innkeeper, Debbie. (I didn't mention the cozy living room with a roaring fireplace as you enter) She surprised us with a room upgrade and also had us peek into the breakfast room where she had buckets of champagne and a charcuterie board with delectable delights for each room. I could go on and on about how romantic the entire evening was for this lower cape couple but it's best for you to trust me and try this inn for yourself! Fireplace in the room, comfy king size bed, bathrobes, ocean view and a delicious homemade breakfast in the am... the list goes on and on. Thank you Debbie! Hope to be back in 2026! Katie and Chris

This was our first bed and breakfast experience and it has set the bar very high. We are more of a luxury resort type travelers and bed and breakfasts always scared us. But Inn on the Sound has made us rethink that. We went in not knowing what to expect or if we would like it. |The Inn itself is homey and welcoming, common areas are clean, well appointed and festively decorated as we travelled during the lead up to Christmas. Our room was large, immaculate and very nicely decorated. The sheets rivaled a luxury resort and towels were fresh white and fluffy. Breakfast was large and delicious. Each evening homemade sweet treat was out to welcome you back. |There is not one thing I would change and will definitely put the Inn on the Sound on my return to list

My wife and I have been coming here during the winter for a few years now and I can say with certainty that it’s the best b&b we’ve been to. We are always treated so well here between the wonderful hosts, the delicious food, a great tea selection, the fireplace every evening, and beautifully decorated rooms. The Inn also has lovely views of the water across the street and beaches within walking distance.

Just came back from a weekend stay at the Inn We could not have been treated better. Debbie was so kind, upgraded us for my husband's birthday and had procceco and chocolate covered strawberries in the room when we arrived. Breakfast was wonderful! Highly recommend folks to experience this wonderful Inn!!!

Love this Inn!! Been coming here for 6 years and always a wonderful experience. Wonderful room, delicious breakfast and treats, cozy fire in the living room. Usually celebrate my daughter's birthday here in January. I imagine summertime at this Inn would be amazing considering the location!!

I had a house in Falmouth for almost 30 years until last year, and went back over the holidays to see family friends. I had the best stay at The Inn on the Sound. The Waquoit Bay room had a great view, was clean, well-appointed, and the bedding was luxurious. The Inn's 'lobby' sitting rooms were beautifully decorated for the holidays, and belgian waffle breakfast was wonderful. The Inn on the Sound was like home away from home. I hope to be back next year!

Inn on the Sound is simply outstanding, we stayed in Juniper Point which was perfect for us. Big room, big bed, great walk in shower. The Inn is meticulously maintained so clean, decor is really nice coastal style. What really sets the place apart though is the hospitality, the treats and the breakfast. Every afternoon some sweet treats are set out for all the guests - we had freshly baked cookies two days and cupcakes the other. Tea and coffee on tap and soft drinks too, all included. Each afternoon we returned for a lovely cup of tea and cake/cookie by the roaring fire.||Breakfast was superb - juices, fruit, yoghurt, granola, toast and jams/marmalades, choice of cereals or hot oatmeal and then a hot special, different each day. We stayed 3 nights and had omelette, waffles and eggs Benedict across the three mornings. The team can’t do enough to help. Falmouth means a little more driving each day to explore Cape Cod, but the Inn on the Sound makes it totally worth it.

We just stayed there for our fourth time. Staff welcoming and want to make your experience great. Our room had outdoor deck and small kitchen. Breakfast is a treat with a few choices. There is always a freshly baked sweet treat waiting for you in the afternoon. There are areas on the first floor to relax. Last night a wood burning fire was going in the fireplace. I will be back again next year. You won't be disappointed staying at this lovely inn.

Inn on the Sound was perfect for a quick mother/daughter getaway. Impeccably designed, clean, and quiet. Amazing attention to detail and "extras" like homemade cookies daily. Love the out-of-the way location which is across from the beach where we read for hours and then grabbed a cocktail and snack at a local place a few places down. Then, it's a quick drive to downtown Falmouth and Woods Hole. We will definitely be back!

Been here three times. In a February, April and in May. Great scenery! Wonderful inn on the sound overlooking Martha's Vineyard. Very nice hostess, owner, and cook. Really felt like I was staying at a friends place for the weekend. Plenty of parking. Plenty of places year round to go eat see and do. Clean rooms. Been in one room twice and was upgraded during our last stay. No negatives whatsoever. A great and relaxing stay and very nice to meet other travelers and sit around the fireplace and chat over coffee. Highest of recommendations.

I've never stayed at a B&B, I didn't know what to expect. If all B&B are like this, I'll never do timeshare again. Simple check in, plenty of parking in front and back. Amazing views of the water from the patio in our room and the front patio. Well stocked fridge of complimentary drinks. There was fresh baked white chocolate macadamia nut cookies that were made by the staff, delicious. Breakfast was amazing, there was French toast that day. Spotless clean at the Inn and in the rooms. Very comfortable king bed and pillows. We were in the Nobska Point room. My only complaint is that I can't give more than 5 Stars. Book your room already!

I was very hesitant picking a bed and breakfast, since this was a birthday gift for my husband. We came in on Tuesday around 430pm and was greeted right away by Cathy, she gave us our key and showed us around and to our room. We walked into the oyster pond room and we thought it was beautiful, especially the view. The room was warm due to the air not being on and it smelled like mildew. We bought a scented candle to take that minor scent away. We had an enjoyable breakfast every morning, they offer a different egg dish, with fruit, granola, yogurt, cake, croissants, etc. There was a fridge full of beverages each day. On our 3rd day we met another innkeeper Marti, who was also a gem. Our rooms were well kept and all the staff was lovely. We'd recommend this place to friends.

Beautiful place by the sea! Wonderful rooms and ambiance! Great Inn keeper, Lisa. Place is spotless and modern "ocean" decor. The breakfast is amazing! Highly recommended!

cozy, relaxing trip! Very clean and well kept inn, everyone was so friendly and breakfast was delicious. Definitely worth it!

This is an amazing spot. If you are looking for a quaint, welcoming stay with waterfront views, BOOK IT. Debbie was extremely friendly over the phone and very personable. The room was clean and well put together. The staff and environment were so COVID friendly and it was a very safe environment. Everything was immaculately clean in the common areas and they were able to somehow keep their guests safe while making us forget there was a pandemic. On this road you can see Nantucket the whole strip. You can also see the island from most of the rooms. It truly felt like we were on the edge of the earth at some times with the high tide. Thank you Debbie and others behind the scenes for running a tight ship. We will be back; and for longer stay next! (We rented the Oyster room. One night stay, 1/16-1/17/21)

Absolutely beautiful Inn! The rooms were charming, clean and well stocked with whatever you might possibly need. The Inn keeper was so sweet and very helpful without being intrusive. Homemade cookies in the afternoon to a wonderful breakfast. I cannot say enough about the location, cleanliness and decor. They also have a refrigerator when you come in one of the doors where you can help yourself to drinks and store any food you might like kept cold. They have thought of everything.

Inn on the Sound is such a wonderful place to visit! I was there for an overnight in May, and can't wait to return. Even though the weather wasn't the best, we still enjoyed the peacefulness of the area and seeing the ocean across the street. The breakfast was amazing and if you needed anything, the Innkeeper was ready to help. The kitchen is fully stocked with coffees and water and other beverages in the fridge. The sitting room had games and books and other helpful information. There were oatmeal cookies when we arrived and yummy treats before we left too. The room was lovely with a little patio across from the water. Special thanks to Debbie for helping me find the perfect room and for accommodating me after I needed to cancel my original stay due to catching the flu. Hoping to return soon and enjoy more time at the Inn on the Sound!

We spent the weekend at this beautiful inn and just loved everything about it. No stone is left unturned. The rooms are beautifully decorated, clean and comfy. The location is perfect. Breakfast in the morning is delicious right down to the watermelon cut into stars. Afternoon treats like homemade brownies are waiting for you when you return from your day's activities. A real gem, highly recommended.

Wonderful, charming B&B in great location across the street from the water! The attention to detail is so nice -- delicious home-baked cookies, high end bath products, robe, beach goodies, etc. There really is nothing missing! The hosts, owners and staff are warm and thoughtful and obviously take pride is providing a great experience for guests. I lost an earring that had sentimental value.. sent a photo and several weeks later received a call that the earring had been found! Inn on the Sound sent my earing home to me in Virginia in a jewelry bag safe and sound. So thoughtful and kind! We will visit again when we are in MA!

If I could give the Inn on the Sound more than 5 stars, I would ~ it truly exceeded our expectations in every way! It's location is perfect, the Inn is beautiful and Debbie is amazing! The food was delicious, the staff and service was fabulous and the attention to detail was evident in all facets of our stay! Debbie was so pleasant and easy to deal with; we knew she was there if we needed anything but she seemed to anticipate our every need ~ and then some; all of the little "extras" were so thoughtful and very appreciated! The room we stayed in was absolutely beautiful and the view was...wow! A fridge and kitchen that was well stocked, plenty of parking, super clean common areas and guest rooms and very comfortable! We are already planning our next stay!

My first bed and breakfast and truly a 5 star experience. With no detail overlooked, it is an experience worth every penny. The bed was absolutely amazing and the location perfect! Breakfast was wonderful. The innkeepers are extremely thoughtful in regards to Covid. Couldn't recommend more.

Absolutely fantastic. The place is beautiful and the staff could not be more welcoming. Their service is the right one for the place. We had an inconvenient with the key, they solved in 5 mins and with the best attitude and professionalism. The Inn it's absolutely impeccable (extremely clean and organized) which I so much appreciate. I absolutely adore staying there. We will come back, for sure. The house it's right in front of the beach. Close to the Main Street - you'll find great shopping stores and restaurants. The View from Inn on the Sound it's breathtaking. You'll wake up in the best mood looking and having breakfast in front of the ocean. You will not want to leave (ever). Thank you Inn on the sound.

1st timer alert*** What an adorable B&B ! We booked same day (reminder it's Covid time) and Debbie was very accommodating and was happy to give us a room! Our Quissett Harbor room was quaint but facing the water and all you need for a few nights. The staff was amazing and the food was delicious, our breakfast was ready as soon as we requested and the frittata was delicious. As the name suggests, Right on the sound, beautiful view and great location. We would reccomend! Thank you very much Debbie and team!!

I would definitely recommend inn on the sound. We stayed three days visiting while visiting cape cod. Everything was perfect. The room was very clean and everyone was very accommodating. This was my first time staying at a bed and breakfast. It turned out to be a wonderful experience.

This was an amazing find! The room and bathroom are super comfortable and perfect for a night stay while visiting the cape! Breakfast was very yummy!!

Beautiful location, you can't get closer to the water. We had the Oyster Pond room. It was beautifully decorated, and even though the bathroom was small, the amenites were lovely. I have two minor complaints. 1) no one explained the heating units and we were too hot when we went to bed and absolutely freezing when we awoke! The bed was comfy and we did not hear noise from other guests - which is always a concern to me. I peeked into a few of the other rooms and loved them all. Breakfast was more than generous with great coffee and excellent cranberry muffins and I loved the fresh mango, honeydew, and blueberries. The salmon souffle was more like quiche...just okay. We so appreciated access to the full-sized refrigerator that was well stocked with beverages for guests. 'Nice touch. 'Sorry we did not get to meet Howard, the owner, but Allisette (sp?) was terrific. We would return.

Just came back from a short stay at the Inn on the Sound. Everything was perfect. The new owner John could not have been more accommodating and innkeeper Marti is lovely. We stayed in the Oyster Pond room and it is beautiful. Marti makes a different breakfast every morning and everything was delicious. We can't wait to book our next stay.

We had a wonderful stay at the Inn on the Sound last week. It was just what we were looking for as a getaway during these crazy times. It was quiet, clean, and low-key. The breakfast was a great added touch. We will definitely be back.

This is the second time my girlfriend and I had stayed here at Inn on the Sound and we couldn't be happier. The rooms are immaculate and very cozy. The towels and linens are always clean and neat and the staff is very accommodating. Situated directly across the private beach, we were provided with beach towels and chairs for us to use. The breakfasts are always fantastic and there are little treats like homemade biscotti and a refrigerator full of beverages. It's a very quiet B&B where you can just relax and chill, either in your room, on the beach or on your balcony. If you want more of an adventure...there is plenty to do and see. The downtown area of Falmouth is abundant with all kinds of restaurants and shops for just about anything you want! I highly recommend staying here!

This is a beautiful inn. Very friendly. Beautiful beaches. Don't hesitate to stay here . Great breakfast, and well decorated feels like home. Mike & Amy

The owner is very accommodating and attentive, the rooms and the view are beautiful, and the food is also fantastic! Would definitely go back, the town is really cute as well and it's a nice place to go and relax.

Cozy place to spend the weekend, but rude/inconvenient innkeeper that knocked on the door like crazy to let my husband know that someone was complaining of a "knocking on the wall noise" which wasn't coming from our room since we had heard the same noise, and had just arrived at the place. I guess she found out where the noise was coming from, but it was very inappropriate to knock on our door so loud making false accusations and then apologizing. I am very surprised that the owner would hire such an innkeeper for such a wonderful place to stay!

Charming place with many thoughtful amenities. I was warmly welcomed and the host answered some questions about what to see in town. My room was upgraded since they weren't full. There are books and biscotti at all hours, crisp linens, beach accessories, and even lip balm in the room! Located across the street from the beach, but it feels like the house is floating on the water.

We had a sensational weekend stay at this little B&B! The owner literally could not be nicer or more accommodating. Our room was on the smaller side but we hardly spent any time there so it didn't bother us. Just know if you are thinking about getting "romantic" we could hear the TV of the room across the hall, so thin walls... Our room was stocked with waffle robes, great toiletries, beach towels and even a beach bag! The inn was well stocked too with tons of books, guides, etc... Even a corkscrew and glasses. Plus they had tea and biscotti available. Downstairs there was a fridge we could use, which had complimentary sodas and water. Definitely came in handy for leftovers and roadside fruit we purchased along the way. Breakfast was delicious! The first day they served a quiche/frittata with veggies and the second day a blueberry French toast-esque pastry. Plus fresh fruit, yogurt, and pastries. The location was not in downtown but we thought it was perfect and enjoyed strolling the beach across the street. Highly recommend!

Love this place. Just stayed here (April 2017) for second time. First time was April 2013. The owner Howard is super nice and gave us some history and explained some of the decor. Visiting in off season means it's quiet but the views are breathtaking. Location is ideal- right at the top of the last hill on the Falmouth RR course. Close to downtown and has beach access. Decor is lovely and impeccably clean. The little touches make a big difference- like the tissues being brand name soft Kleenex, and the lip balm they provide is awesome. The food is outstanding too. Breakfast was a baked French toast with fruit compote and warm croissants in addition to fruit granola yogurt etc. we will be back!

I had a great experience staying at this Inn in Falmouth with my significant other. We loved everything about the quaint, cozy room. All of the small details were taken into consideration for the Inn's guests such as beach towels rolled into a cute little basket, make up cloths, a key holder, and robes. These small details add up to such a difference. Howard, the Inn owner, was a delight and made sure all of our needs were met as well as ensured we were happy with our breakfast every morning. The breakfast was great too! The location is absolutely fabulous and is right across the street from the beach. Beach chairs are also accessible to Inn guests which makes it so simple. I highly recommend staying here and taking the Vineyard Ferry which is less than a mile away to explore the Vineyard for the day. I will surely be back and my friend that ended up staying with me the last night I was there also recommended this Inn to her fiancé as a place she would love to stay at in the near future too!

Awesome quant inn with perfect location that's easy to get to the ferry, shops and the beach. Our room with a balcony was decorated perfectly and very comfortable with spectacular views. Then there was the breakfast which really surprised me considering I thought they would have the proverbial continental muffins and cereal. No continental breakfast here, they had exquisite egg creations, homemade muffins and fresh fruit with an impressive presentation every morning.

Cute & clean! Inn keeper was very nice & accomodating. It was the perfect location for us as well, had friends getting married at the Casino Wharf FX just two blocks away. Enjoyed the views from our room!

Pretty flawless experience. Very helpful and nice owner. Excellent breakfasts. Homemade biscotti, coffee, and tea at all hours. Private bathrooms with walk-in showers. An iPod dock. Decks overlooking the ocean. Free WiFi. I seriously can't complain about anything.

Sensational. My husband and I seriously could not have stayed anywhere better for our Cape getaway. This was our first B&B experience and if all B&B's are like this then we will never stay in a hotel again! Tucked away in a beautiful and quiet location looking out to the sound and short walking distance to the beach. Every detail was thought of and everything was so personable. Our room was impeccably clean with a comfy bed and soft sheets. There was a fridge off the breakfast room fully stocked with drinks and space for any leftovers you might have had from dinners out. Tea 24/7 and they even had my favorite Rooibos which I travel with because no one usually carries it! The breakfast was fresh and the hot plate always decadent. The morning hot plate was my husbands favorite part he couldn't wait to find out what it was each morning. I could seriously go on and on the experience was sensational I feel well rested and wishing I was still there! If your questioning where to stay DONT just book the Inn on the Sound you won't be sorry.

First of all, Falmouth is beautiful and I highly recommend visiting! However, this bed and breakfast was very cramped and honestly overpriced. The innkeeper is not friendly and very dismissive. Our bathroom was so small that two people could not stand inside it at the same time. I would stay elsewhere!

Million dollar view!! Literally. Our first night there we watched, from our deck the harvest moon rise over the water. By far the best moon rise I've ever seen and perhaps much more beautiful than a sunset. By the way, if you don't think Howard the inn keeper takes his million dollar view seriously ask him how come he has the only inn on the street with no power wires blocking the view!! That's right he PAID to have the removed. The rest of the inn is the same reflection of his meticulous style. Barely a scratch, nick or a ding anywhere. The room was outstanding with all the amenities you could want. It was quiet and peaceful. They had a place where we stored our bicycles (must bring your bikes). You can walk to the queen island ferry, the beach and to town for dinner (about a 30 min walk or uber) We loved this place and will go back in an instant. And for those of you who think the innkeeper is "unfriendly", you just may not have engaged him. Quirky yup. Unfriendly no. He's not going to run to the door and hug you (thank you) but he's full of knowledge and has a good dose of sarcasm. For example, did you learn how the birds know to go to a bird sanctuary? Did you know he can fry eggs like I hop or Denny's, your choice? I bet you didn't notice he removed the power wires either. We loved it!

BRING YOUR OWN VACUUM. Would be ZERO STARS if possible. Stayed there 3 summers in a row and loved it. Tried booking this year but was declined because of "past visits and staffing they cannot have the room ready in time for the next guest". My girlfriend is meticulous and works with the public daily, so we made the bed and we did everything but vacuum the rug and clean the toilet. We even took out our own trash and wiped surfaces down. SO, apparently for them to accommodate anyone, you should bring your own dust pan, broom and bring your own linen to the laundry mat for them. Not to Mention it costs more to stay there a week than to fly to Tahiti. The private beach is covered in sea weed and rocks and the water has zero visibility. And Howard's "French inspired breakfast" is the dullest, flavor lacking, heap of odds and end sitting around his kitchen.

We entered the Inn and were immediately notified that we were. Not allowed to socialized with friends at the INN, we could only see friends at a bar, restaurant or other. We paid for the most expensive room at the INN, a room with a deck. We paid over $900 for 2 days and spent our time with another couple at their Bed and Breakfast, which was wonderful! I would recommend Bailey By hoe Sea, they are very welcoming! Our next visit will be at Baileys by he Sea, I heard the food was excellent and the hostess was wonderful!

This place was worth every penny. Howard and his wonderful staff really make IOTS feel like home. The rooms are immaculate and the views are beautiful (ocean or not). And the breakfast !!! Each morning's breakfast was absolutely delicious, but the French Toast - To Die For !!! I absolutely love this place. Congrats to all of those who are lucky enough to find it.

Falmouth is fabulous, this inn, not so much. Unfriendly innkeeper, small rooms, breakfast on all three mornings was not very good. Last time we were on the Cape we stayed in Woods Hole and would recommend that instead.

Quaint and cozy rooms. Gourmet breakfast. Personable and knowledgable inn keepers. Definitely coming back

This great B&B offers a wide variety of breakfast options to guests. Many veg-friendly options! I had some wonderful granola and a vegetable egg puff the morning I stayed there. Fresh fruit and homemade croissants were also available.
