The perfect gift for every occasion

    Breakfast al fresco on the patio and gardens at Woods Hole Passage.

    All rooms have queen beds, private bath and a small sitting area.
    "Four Fish" bedroom - second floor of the carriage house. Both upstairs bedrooms have cathedral ceilings.

    Most Welcoming Hosts Ever

    January 21, 2013

    My partner and I stayed at Woods Hole Passage last summer, and it was the most welcoming and comfortable vacation we've ever had. Martha and Julie really have something special going here. It felt more like we were staying with friends than in a nameless hotel. I really can't say enough about Woods Hole Passage, except that we can't wait to go back!

    Serene, inviting, great location - our new #1 vacation spot!

    January 06, 2013

    What a peaceful, fun, wonderful place Woods Hole Passage is – a serene and customized welcoming experience. Woods Hole Passage far exceeded our expectations – it was better than home away from home! The grounds are picturesque. Our room (room: “Two Fish”) was clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. The main house offers an inviting sitting room, drinks/snacks and a gourmet breakfast experience (Martha is an amazing cook!) – each morning pastries, coffee/tea, juice, then a 3-course breakfast – (they readily accommodated my dietary restrictions too). Woods Hole Passage is spacious but offers a fully personalized experience. When we wanted to go antique shopping or whale watching, Martha and Julie provided us with directions, menus for area restaurants and discount coupons! When we went to the beach, they offered high quality beach towels (in a pre-packed beach bag), beach umbrellas/chairs/passes, bikes and walking or driving routes. Woods Hole Passage offered everything possible to make our trip enjoyable and complete! Woods Hole Passage is within walking/biking distance of picturesque beaches, quaint towns and fun shopping. It is a 10-min stroll to “the Knob” – a secluded landmark beach spot with such amazing sunsets! We walked there once a day during our stay. The whole experience was great for a romantic get-away, but would be family-friendly as well. Martha and Julie take a natural interest in their guests and did everything possible to make our vacation smooth and worry-free. No kidding, writing this review is making me “homesick” for Woods Hole Passage - the best vacation spot we have ever experienced. We plan to go back annually because our experience was SO enjoyable and relaxing! We highly recommend Woods Hole Passage to our family and friends. Happy Travels!

    Felt Like Home!

    July 08, 2012

    What a gem! From the minute we walked in we felt welcome. Julie and Martha felt like old friends and could not have been more accommodating and gracious. Our room was immaculate, very bright and airy and very well appointed. The bed was extremely comfortable and we loved the antique furnishings. Julie's pastries will make you forget about any notions of dieting while on vacation. We loved the afternoon cookies! Breakfast was scrumptious! We had a very early ferry to Martha's Vineyard and Julie made sure we had something to take with us to eat on the ferry. How's that for service! We will definitely be back.

    Pet room

    May 29, 2012

    Had a fantastic time here with our dog. Martha and Julie were so helpful in giving us ideas for sightseeing and eating out. They were always present and would greet us with "goodies" at the end of a long day sightseeing.

    Peaceful Getaway

    December 07, 2010

    We stayed at the Woods Hole Passage just for one night and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Our room was clean, well decorated, had great lighting, a nice bathroom, room to relax and privacy. The atmosphere of this B&B was perfect; warm tea and baked goods in the living room area and a most spectacular multi-course breakfast in the morning. They were very professional and inviting. We were most impressed and will return!
