Wake Up to the Best View on Cape Cod

Watch the Yachts and Ferries Navigate Vineyard Sound

One of the pleasures of living by the sea is how often the exquisite beauty of your surroundings takes you as you go about your day. Lighthouse Station sits atop a natural bluff overlooking Vineyard Sound–an ever-changing panorama as the boats and natural light shift throughout the day.

Living in Woods Hole Village

Quintessentially Cape Cod

Lighthouse Station is located in the coastal village of Woods Hole, known worldwide for its many marine science institutions and vibrant scientific community. Living at Lighthouse Station, you will be a minute’s stroll from Wood’s Hole’s bustling restaurant scene, coffee shops, and bakeries.

Take a Ferry to the Vineyard
Also, just minutes away, you can be on a Steamship Authority ferry to Oak Bluff for an afternoon lunch on Martha’s Vineyard.

Woods Hole Living Includes:

  • An 80-minute Drive to Boston’s Logan Airport
  • A 3-minute Drive to Falmouth’s Restaurants & Shops
  • A 10-minute walk to Woods Hole’s Restaurants, Shops & Bakeries

Leisure Time Passions

Cape Cod boasts 27 public & 15 private golf courses, including the Woods Hole Golf Club, literally in your backyard.

The many marinas, moorings, and yacht clubs on the upper cape (Bourne, Falmouth, Sandwich, and Mashpee) give mariners so many options. Buzzards Bay leads north to Cape Cod Bay via the Cape Cod Canal, and Vineyard Sound provides direct access to Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, and the open ocean.

A Historic Architectural Treasure

The Buckminster Fuller Geodesic Dome

At Lighthouse Station, history is in your own backyard. Located on the grounds just behind Building E, is the Buckminster Fuller Geodesic Dome: a feat of structural engineering and architectural design. The Dome was commissioned by Gunnar Peterson to provide the main dining space for the Nautilus Motor Inn Restaurant. In 2002, the structure was abandoned when the restaurant closed. As part of the ongoing development of Lighthouse Station, we’ve been working closely with the Town of Falmouth and the MA Historical Society to preserve the integrity of the structure and restore the Dome so that it can continue to inspire generations to come.

Cuisine, Art, Shopping & Nightlife

Unlike lower Cape Cod locations that ‘roll up their sidewalks’ in winter months, Woods Hole and nearby Falmouth Center are vibrant year-round communities with lots to offer, including:

  • Boutiques and Shops
  • Restaurants, Bars & Nightlife
  • A year-round Ferry to MV & Nantucket
  • Home to the Woods Hole Film Festival
