By the Seashore
We were delighted to get there from Vermont. Our weather was not great, but we kayaked, biked, enjoyed the historical sights, the Whaling Museum a lot and Rick swam. Had sensational food at Ricarrdi's. We would not recommend the Bait and Hook out by the west beach at all = Very Disappointing. As for your accomodations we both fit in well. We would suggest that perhaps you take some of the items off of the book case so there is more room for our odds and ends. In the batheroom perhaps some of the space on the little shelves to the left of the toilet might be freed up for a few of you guests things. Also maybe move the conch shell on teh back of the toilet so there is room there. Not much space for toiletries. Also, a towel rack in the bathroom or somewhere would be helpful. Our weather was not clear enough to put our towels outside. We loved the outdoor shower.We have one too and that was ideal. And you had so many things for us to use that were so useful in case we forgot. I loved the space in the next door house. That was my favorite. In your ad it looks like that is the house you are renting. We did not know there would be two "houses". Thank you for your generosity. We may come again. We enjoyed the neighborhood. Everyone was very friendly. It was too chilly for the beach, but so convenient. We had a very nice time. Again our thanks. Jody and Rick

Quaint and Cozy Cottage Stay
This was the best cottage with everything we needed. So close to the boat ramp and beach with excellent views. The cottage was clean and quaint with plenty of space for two. Backed up onto a preserve-like backyard, this gave us privacy when we were enjoying the patio space. Super inviting and host was easy to communicate with. Loved it and would stay again. :)

Quiet retreat
This tiny cottage worked well for me and my small dog, very cozy but cheerful. The neighborhood is quiet, except for a little road traffic to the.boat ramp at the end.of the street. A good spot for restful getaway. The kitchen is tiny but well supplied. While I would suggest an upgrade in the.bed linens, overall the place gets very high marks.

Fun little property to be by the water and get off the grid for a bit. Easy to get around. Great to be by the water and have access to a beach. Able to bring pups for a convenient bonus. Nice town center with quaint streets and nice bike path. Excellent location to get to the fast ferry to Martha’s Vineyard etc. Enjoyable time…thank you for the stay!

Great cottage in coastal Massachusetts
We had a great time staying at the cottage- we found the location perfect. My kids loved walking down to the beach on the bay! The location is also in close proximity to bigger beaches, New Bedford attractions, the ferry to the islands, and cape cod. Our teenager loved her pull out couch in the separate building - three steps away from the main cottage, close enough yet separate enough, the perfect teenager haven. My little one stayed on the pull out futon in the main cottage. Everything was well stocked, super comfortable. The hosts were easy to contact and super helpful. Highly recommend this delightful rental!

Lovely coastal cottage
A perfect place for a quiet weekend away. The cottage is smaller but has everything you might want (pretty well-stocked kitchen, too). Nice firepit and grill in the yard and a nice patio to relax on as well. A new sunroom addition in a second one-room cottage is also very nice and accommodated our two friends who joined us for a night. There is a small boat launch about 500 feet away with a small beach adjacent that is nice to splash around in. The location is quiet but still close to grocery stores and restaurants, though during the pandemic all the town beaches we tried to go to were blocked to non-residents so we had to drive about 30 mins to Horseneck State beach -- nice beach but not as close as we had hoped. Would recommend this place for a couple, small family, or even two couples if you're willing to share a smaller space. Joan was very easy to communicate with and made our stay easy and pleasant.

Quaint beach cottage
Stayed here for a 5 day getaway to the coast. The cottage is quaint and well-stocked with everything you could need for a beach vacation! The location is perfect- you’re only a few minute drive from Fairhaven and New Bedford, which has a cute downtown area right by the docks with multiple restaurants to choose from. There’s a private beach and boat launch within a 5 minute walk from the cottage. You’re also minutes away from ferries that go to Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, and hidden gem Cuttyhunk island. You’re also a short drive to cape cod. We enjoyed exploring the area and loved staying in such a cute place! While the cottage is on the smaller side (it probably wouldn’t comfortable fit more than 2 people), it was perfect for me, my boyfriend and 2 small dogs. Joan was a pleasure to work with and gave us several recommendations on restaurants to try- we did and were not disappointed! We will definitely be returning in the future!
