Awesome house and accomodations. Rooftop deck is the best. Melissa and Paul are great hosts. Every detail covered!

Host very responsive, great views and has everything that you need.

Great house. The views are stunning.

Melissa and Paul were excellent at communicating. Check in process was simple. In fact, Melissa and Paul greeted us and showed us around. They are super nice! Kitchen and living room are even bigger than they look in the photos. We had our daughter, her husband, and their two small kids first night and took them to the beach. The whole trip was worth seeing our less than 2 year old granddaughter laugh with joy at the waves and did not want to stop. My husband and I were alone for the last 4 nights there. We loved the quietness of the neighborhood, hearing the waves and the birds---grilling fresh seafood almost every night with fresh vegetables from farm stands. Beds were very comfy, loved the new tiled shower. Our favorite spot was either the rockers on front porch in the morning, or two chairs by the open windows inside---fabulous views. Air smelled so good. Thank you, Melissa and Paul! And Wesport Rose you left for us was delicious!

This is such a special home, and Melissa and a Paul make it perfect. It’s clean, charming, cozy and perfect. We adore this home and it’s owners!

Clean and comfortable oceanside cottage in a terrific neighborhood, great communications with hosts, property was as advertised. Very nice place to stay for a quiet, relaxing getaway in a wonderful setting.

This lovely cottage is the perfect retreat for family and friends. We are a family of four and absolutely loved our time here; complete with the distant sounds of the ocean and morning bird calls, views of the beach and salt marsh ponds. We can't wait to return. Thank you for providing such a special experience!

We had a wonderful relaxing time at the beach. The views are just beautiful from all over the house. (especially the top deck) The house is open and bright, very clean, cozy and everything we needed. The beach is just a very short walk down the road. It was just what we needed, a peaceful get away. Thank you Melissa and Paul!

Paul and Melissa's place is great. The view and proximity to the beach are great. Comfy beds and bedding, lots of sofa space to spread out and relax and tables to eat. Kitchen is large and spacious. Highly recommend!

Walking into Paul and Melissa's cottage on Howland Rd was enough! The magnificent views of Richmond Pond (with swans and geese) and waves breaking at Brayton Point were amazing. And from the rooftop deck, you also got the added view of Eastcock Pond, the Westport River and Horseneck Beach in the distance. Who could ask for more? But there was more, body surfing at Elephant Rock Beach in late September (the weather was plenty warm). We really loved our stay, the kitchen and living area are very ample, and the beds are comfortable. And windows all around to remind you of where you are.... We highly recommend!

Great home and location. Hosts were awesome as well. Property was very well equipped.

We have to say this has been an amazingly relaxing stay. First of all Melissa & Paul wonderful people and host. They are friendly and very informative on the area. They even leaves little treats from the area for you. The home is very clean and has everything you may need. Short of your food. We travel a lot and stay in many places. This one was the most relaxing and just gives you the feeling of being home. We even extended our stay a few days longer. Melissa & Paul even worked with us for that. Yes!! We have booked for next year already. I have and do highly recommend this cute cozy home. With the perfect location. I give them a 4.75 stars.. Its a must on your list of places to stay

Great cozy cottage with views of Cockeast Pond, Richmond Pond and the ocean, and a five minute walk from the beach. Loved the rooftop deck. Comfortable furnishings and kitchen was well equipped. Would definitely rent again.

Booked this, months ago, and it was worth the wait. Paul and Melissa were excellent hosts, and provided lots of suggestions for fishing, dining, farm stands, etc. Enjoyed walking on the beach, and just relaxing. Looking forward to a return visit!

We had a wonderful time staying here. The owners did a terrific job making us feel welcomed and at home. The house is a few minutes walk to a sandy public beach and has beautiful water views. There's multiple decks to enjoy and a large kitchen. A real gem.

We had a fantastic experience. The perfect weather weather was only matched by a Clean, roomy house in a perfect location with owners who put such care into making their home a great experience for renters. With multiple decks to enjoy all parts of the day there was really no need to leave. We are looking forward to another visit.

We had a wonderful stay at the beach house. There are views of the water from every room. We loved coffee on the front porch in the mornings and cocktails on the roof deck. In the evening watching the sunset. The house was very clean, nice quality towels and sheets are provided. The owners are wonderful. We will look forward to staying there again!

We've rented several beach cottages in Westport and this was the best! Great space, and great location! Not much more to say. Highly recommended!

As a 14 year VRBO veteran, we are very careful about the properties we rent, especially those that are premium properties like this one at Howland Beach. Starting with the owners, they gave a very accurate listing, were responsive, communicative and clearly wanted the renters to enjoy the property. WE DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE. This listing is all about having an easy time at a wonderful beach, in a rather exclusive neighborhood and around a very relaxing atmosphere of recreation. Bring your bikes. You must ride to the knubble at the harbor entrance and enjoy the views. Take a swim at the beach for sure. The Acoxet neighborhood is wonderful for long walks, bike rides and runs. Dogs are very much welcomed. We stayed for two weeks and wished we took it for longer. If you want a 'scene', it not here. Go to Newport for that. Everyone here is very comfortable in their own skin and it is all about enjoying the natural beauty with beaches and rolling pastures. Paul & Melissa make it very easy for you to do just that. My highest compliments.

Beautiful views, a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable rooms, and easy proximity to the beach made this a perfect choice for our family. Many thanks to our hosts for a wonderful Westport getaway!

Views are heaven and adorable seaside cottage! Owners are attentive and lovely! Will be back🐟💙

We had an amazing time. The house was better than expected. Beautiful views all around!!

We spent the weekend and the owners were more than accommodating. The place was great! It met all our needs. The location is just beautiful. Thank you!

There is nothing I can say about this exceptional beach cottage. Photos do not do justice. A very quiet and beautiful area, view of the ocean, birds and geese cackling and flying overhead, lovely place to walk your dogs, and the breathtaking beach. Very clean, nice deck, airy and you smell the ocean and get the lovely breeze. Absolutely the best place I have ever stayed. Friendly people and a great supermarket not far away. If you need a respite from a busy life or harried job, come here. The O,Connors are exceptional hosts and very attentive. I will definitely go back to this piece of heaven.

Great location for relaxing. House was well furnished and clean. Met Paul on first day and he was really nice and accommodating since we got there an hour earlier than expected. The only set back was that you have to really go out of the way if you want to go to restaurants and when you are traveling with kids you want to be able to have things to do close by. Oveall great place would definitely go back.

Our family had a wonderful time enjoying the breathtaking views and comforts of this lovely home. We enjoyed a short walk to a beautiful, clean and quiet beach. Our host were wonderful and provided Information on the local area and establishment to prepare us for our stay. The house was equipped with everything we needed and more. We highly recommend staying here.

Walking distance to the beach. Very relaxing. Perfect for us, our 7 month old and dog.
