My family had a great time during our stay at this property. Dorann provided a fantastic list of nearby activities and recommended restaurants upon our arrival. My only regret was not having spent more time in the area. Highly reccomended, and i would certainly stay here again.

It was a great place to stay. The beaches unfortunately are private and not accessible to “renters “. The neighborhood was not particularly friendly to those not in the private neighborhood “club.” The view was wonderful and the hosts were great , friendly and accommodating .
4.6
The house is located in a small community and my kids enjoyed riding their bikes around the quiet roads. It was a great home base for exploring the areas beaches and other attractions. The owners were helpful and enhanced our visit by offering suggestions of things to do in the area.
4.6
What we liked most about our stay was the location. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. This is also a great location for day trips to many locations throughout MA, The cape Boston, Rhode Island.
I enjoyed mornings on the patio, with my coffee, watching the birds and bunnies.
4.6
Lovely area, extremely quiet, great outdoor patio with a view of the bay side where you can watch the osprey nests, and windmills. It's a short drive to the beach or shopping. The Whaling Museum is a short drive and worth a visit. The owners are updating the interior - but as is, it is very clean and has everything you need to be comfortable. Will stay again.
4.6
The house was just what we needed, and the location was great. Dorann was very communicative and helpful.

We were looking for a weekend away from home, and we're lucky to find this place available. We got great recommendations for places to eat nearby, and were able to enjoy the area. We'd stay here again!

This is a perfect location spot for our family of 5. Our children ages 9,12 and 13. Its a beach house and is comfy and perfect with everything you need! If you are looking for luxurious, it is not...but perfect for sandy feet and tanned little bodies looking to play all day on your very own PRIVATE BEACH ! It is within walking distance and we loved it every day.

Cute fifties cottage in a beautiful location close to attractions. Lovely new patio, sizable yard, and access to a tiny beach kids will enjoy. We did feel that a good deep-cleaning would be beneficial, possibly in the bathroom but definitely in the kitchen. The kitchen (mostly original) could be cute if restored, but the years haven’t been kind, and lots of cooking and sink splatter have left their mark. There was a somewhat funky smell in the kitchen—maybe years of use without enough cleaning? Cute home, great spot, but some cleaning and maintenance would enhance it.

We had a nice time here. My kids and I loved the paddle boards, and it was an easy walk to the beach. The beach was much smaller than I anticipated, but never felt crowded and everyone was friendly. Lots of exploring to do when the tide was out. Dorann was welcoming and we overall had a wonderful family vacation.
4.6
The neighborhood was perfect! We went paddle boarding at the beach just a minute walk down the road. Having morning coffee while looking at the water was absolutely beautiful, too. A couple minor issues like the toaster didn’t work and the smart TV but the outside space was so nice it didn’t matter. Thanks for the fun week!

Great, quiet location. Excellent communication with host. 2/3 mattresses in need of replacement and were uncomfortable. Some dishes were dirty when we arrived.
4.6
Wonderful and well-maintained property. The house is cozy with nice beach decorations and has the most amazing view of the ocean. House had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. There are so many places to sit outside and unwind (lots of room for games and lounging) so we spent many relaxing hours on the porch admiring the view and area. Our host was very accommodating and respected our privacy. She greeted us upon arrival which was nice. It rained most of our time while there but we still enjoyed the house and surrounding area. The beach is so close (2 minutes walking), very private feel, and ocean water was wonderful. We would definitely visit again! Thank you!

Came here for a week long vacation with my husband and 4 kids (6 years old and under). What a great spot. There was a grassy yard for kids to run around in and the beach was an easy walk away. The water was not too deep and at low tide you could enjoy checking out crabs, fish, snails, and great seashells. Really enjoyed using the paddle board.
The house had good size rooms and a really nice sun room at the back that looked out at the bay. There was lots of outdoor seating options on the patio to enjoy visiting together outside or just relaxing alone.
Highly recommend this rental property.
4.6
Spacious cottage in cozy neighborhood close drive to beaches. Local Beach is quite small but can still take paddle boards kayaks out. Children prefer to go to a bigger Beach. In retrospect we probably would get a little closer to West Island or be on the other side of Sconicut Neck Rd, only because of more swimmable Beach would have been readily available to us. Otherwise it was a very lovely cottage and plenty of room for everyone.

Great location, Dorann was a huge help - would come back again!

We had a great time and enjoyed the house and neighborhood so much. The beach is a short walk and great to not have to drive or worry about crowds. We used her paddle boards a bunch and brought our kayaks as well. The bay was super warm and calm. We also biked to the bike path and down to the fort.
Was such a great find and looking forward to coming back again next year.

House seems made for simple beach life and provided perfect respite from quarantine crazy. Dorann was a wonderful host who responded to inquiries immediately and offered invaluable guidance about the area. Thanks, Dorann!

Weekend vacation
Our family spent the weekend in this nice cottage. The house was clean and well furnished. Location within walking distance of a small but nice beach. The owner answered all our questions and needs.
4.6
We had a great two weeks in Fairhaven.
The house is in a wonderful location, handy to stores and restaurants, and with a fabulous view. The rooms were spacious and well-furnished; and the outside decks were excellent for entertaining family and friends.
The weather was hot (in the 90’s some days), so AC in the bedrooms and a ceiling fan in the living room would bump the review up to five stars.
Would definitely consider renting this property again!
4.6
Nice house - beautiful setting
The house was a nice getaway to see the south coast of Mass and New Bedford, including whaling museum. Ferry to Martha’s Vineyard was very convenient. The house was comfortable and has a fire pit (!!) and lots of outdoor seating to enjoy the view. Loved the sunroom in the evenings. Dorann is super nice and friendly, and we’d recommend booking this house if you’re in the area.

We had a wonderful time.
Great central location for my family reunion. House was close to the water, we kayaked and paddle boarded each morning in the nearby water. Rode our bikes on the miles of bike paths. Great view to wake up to. All went well. Great host.

A wonderful place to spend a family vacation
We had planned a family reunion in the area where my wife's family came from. In all, we had a party of 7 people coming from France, Belgium, Vermont and California. Getting there from (and back to) that many places was easy thanks to the proximity of Boston Logan International Airport. We really enjoyed the confort of the house and all its amenities. We loved the beach at the end of the street, especially the possibility of canoing, we appreciated the quiet neighborhood, and the beautiful houses around Fairhaven and Matttpoisett. A very special time was had by all!!

Home away from home
We loved our stay at this cute cottage. There is a lovely sunroom and several outdoor seating areas to enjoy the exceptional view. We enjoyed the fire pit, kayaks and paddle boards. The cottage was clean and well stocked with everything but our food. We look forward to staying again!

Très bon souvenirs
We have very good memories of this beautiful house. The location is beautiful, very nice view to the quiet. Shops are less than 10 minutes away by car.
The house is very well designed with all the necessary, it is very clever with this magnificent view in the small living room, which faces the sea, a happiness to drink a quiet coffee in the morning.
Dorann is a nice and friendly owner, she proposes kayaks and various more to make the stay pleasant. I was very pleased, when I told her that we were getting friends, that she would provide us with additional equipment. The nearby beach is a real plus.
Thank you again for this beautiful stay.
Nous avons de très bons souvenirs de cette belle maison. L'endroit est magnifique, très belle vue au calme. Les commerces sont à moins de 10 minutes en voiture.
La maison est très bien conçue avec tout le nécessaire, elle est très astucieuse avec cette magnifique vue dans le petit salon, qui fait face à la mer, un bonheur de boire un café au calme le matin.
Dorann est une propriétaire disponible et agréable, elle propose des kayaks et différents petits plus pour rendre le séjour agréable. J'ai beaucoup apprécié, quand je l'ai prévenue que nous recevions des amis, qu'elle mette à notre disposition des équipements supplémentaires. La plage toute proche est un vrai plus.
Merci encore pour ce beau séjour.

Great property spacious rooms , great view loved it
I was pleasantly surprised, I knew the view was gorgeous in the picture, but it no way describes just how relaxing and gorgeous it is, we stayed here or 2 weeks and hated to leave , the owner was very nice and helpful with whatever we needed . The beds were comfortable and that is a big thing with me and my husband. it has a beautiful yard, and gorgeous views from all the windows facing the ocean. Will be staying here again soon

Great place to get away and have access to plenty of things to do!
A cute house on a quiet street with a short walk to the beach. This was a good place to serve as our base with easy access to surrounding towns and so much to do. And the owner was a pleasure to meet and work with. The house does need to be better stocked with cookware and cooking utensils. Looking forward to coming back someday!
