My girlfriends and I had such a nice relaxing weekend. Being literal steps to the beach was clutch - no having to pack up the car with chairs and coolers. A short drive to some great spots in New Bedford. Would stay again!

Three house was or base of operations for the New Bedford folk festival. It was close enough to town to make that convenient but we could hear the waves hitting the shore at night to put us to sleep.

This little cottage is covered in nostalgia. Angels from above couldn’t have gotten it any cleaner. Plenty of towels and we loved the beach accessories to borrow like chairs towels and toys. Short walk down a private trail to the water. No traffic here and the neighbors were all quiet as church mice. Grocery store right down the road. Never heard a police or ambulance siren anywhere. Sitting by the water and watching the boats on the other side of the bay was fabuous. If you’re looking for old fashioned yet super sanitary this is the one.

Cute little cottage near the water. Neighborhood is a little rough and we couldn't find anywhere to actually walk by the water (its all private property). Central location (approximately an hour from Boston and Cape Cod).

What can I say about this wonderful cottage and the experience we had? Everything was perfect, from the super-clean house, the amenities, thoughtful touches, cozy atmosphere, beautiful decor, quiet neighborhood, friendly neighbors, and a super friendly host. Sloane communicated with us throughout the entire process and made us feel so welcome. We really felt like it was our home away from home, which says a lot. Thank you for helping make our experience one for the memory books. The next time we visit MA, we will definitely stay here again!

I loved this house so much. I've stayed at other places before and I felt like a guest. This place is so great I hope to come back as soon as the weather turns warm.

The house is very cozy, well decorated and comfortable. The back yard and deck area was very nice. I had my 2 year old toddler so it was tough not having a bath tub or laundry on site. I think this is a great place for couples or family with older children.

Thank you for the awesome beach adventure! Your cottage was absolutely perfect. Exactly as described, beautifully decorated, extremely clean and had all the necessities for a beach stay right there (chairs, cooler, towels, umbrella, sand toys). We walked right to the private beach and enjoyed the quiet neighborhood so much. Your welcome packet was also very informative and we did many of the activities listed. Sloane was an extremely communicative hostess and also very kind - offering us an extra night because we missed one due to weather. Great experience!

Was great renting from Sloane. Easy check in, comfortable rooms and close to the beach! Thanks for having us!

Our family of five fit comfortably in this cozy beach cottage as a home base for a couple of days of summer fun and then a family wedding in Mattapoisett. Nice deck and back yard with lawn chairs to enjoy the breeze and listen to the waves from the Bay. Ceiling fans helped with the warm summer days and nights. Hosts were great and communicative.

Splendidly comfortable and cleverly appointed relaxing beach house. This small house handled six adults and one child beautifully during the day and many more nearby family members by night. Loved the proximity to local beach, West Island, and bike way into historic Fairhaven. Great communication with caring owner. Would highly Recommend. S.B. Roswell, Ga.

Fresh & cozy beach cottage a short walk from the local beach. We enjoyed exploring New Bedford and the surrounding areas during the days and relaxing in the quaint cottage at night.

Cute cozy cottage near the beach with everything you need to get away. Owner was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. We really enjoyed the beach access, deck and yard. We were able to enjoy a fire on the beach and watch amazing fireworks across the bay for the 4th of July weekend. It was a crazy week for weather when we were there. It was a little chilly when we arrived and the cottage was perfect but as it got really hot and humid by the end the week, it got a little warm in the cottage, especially in the bedrooms during the evening. It was the perfect location for day trips to the Cape and Boston.

Beautiful and quaint. I would ask for more windows ACs though for the bedrooms. We stayed during a heatwave and it was warm at night.

Picture perfect place. Small but has everything you need!

The cute cottage was a very short walk to the beach. It was very clean and well cared for. It had everything we needed for our little get away.

Such a cute place, was comfortable for 3 adults, lovely beachy decor and comfy beds, and especially enjoyed the outdoor patio and grill. Some of the glassware was quite dusty, but after a quick clean, we were good to go. Everything else clean. The beach was RIGHT down the lane, which was neat, although not super swim friendly, more good for a nice evening stroll. Thanks for the lovely stay!

Gorgeous beach cottage, literally right near the water. Perfect getaway!

4 adults visiting family and friends close by. Location was just right. Cottage was perfect for our needs. Beach within view for seaglass, drift wood and shell hunts. Numerous restaurants now open to everyone. Awesome.

It was a very cute and quaint cottage that was very clean. It was a great weekend getaway and we give it overall 5 stars. I only wish there had been a full length mirror since I was getting ready for a wedding . Owners were gracious, kind and responded immediately to any requests or inquiries. I recommend this cottage for a relaxing getaway!

Everything about our stay was perfect, it is a lovely cottage and we had a wonderful stay. We enjoyed morning coffee and evening meals on the back deck where you could hear the ocean... just steps away! The host was very welcoming and attentive. We would absolutely stay again and would recommend to friends!

I had a wonderful visit at Family Tides in late August. The cottage is adorable, tastefully decorated with comfortable beds and furniture and the all-important good shower. Ah, and the OUTDOOR shower is heaven!!I spent tons of time on the lovely back deck with its sneak-peek of the ocean, reading and visiting with day-trip friends. I went down to the beach (a 2-minute walk at most) at all different times, and never found it crowded. I explored the area a bit, biking on the Phoenix Bike Trail and walking the Shaw Farm Trail, wandering around Fairhaven center with its beautiful architecture. There's plenty to do -- I kept discovering things every day and ran out of time. I hope to be back next year. Communication with the owner prior to and during my stay could not have been easier and more pleasant. Thank you!

We came across the cottage while looking for a place to stay after travel to Boston. What a find! We were very pleased. The short walk to the beach is lovely and the trail, just a block away, leads to a beautiful owning at the bay. The house, while small, was comfortable and the owner added such nice extra touches. It is clear that there was very thoughtful planning about what guests would enjoy. Thank you!

This cottage was perfect for our family of 5. Close to the beach for our kids and near lots of other activities – ferry to Martha’s Vineyard and biking/hiking trails including Fort Phoenix Bike Trail (right near the house), Cape Cod Canal, West Island Reservation, Nasketucket Bay State Reservation (both great places to explore!) and more. We took full advantage of the central location to see and do it all in the area before hitting the beach for the afternoon. Our kids LOVED fires on the beach at sunset (gorgeous view) and exploring the tide pools every day. Owners provided all the information and resources we required to plan for the trip and everything needed was included with the stay making it so much easier for this busy family. Great memories made – THANK YOU!!!

The location near the quiet beach is unbeatable. Owners were very communicative. The cottage makes good use of small spaces and has everything you need for the week. We had a great time.

We had the best time. It was so peaceful and relaxing. A short walk to the beach for swimming, sun bathing and kayaking! The house was clean and exactly as pictured. Sloane was very accommodating and quick to respond. We will definitely be back!

My husband and I wanted to explore the Cape and this was a great landing spot to do that. The cottage is so charming and you will feel at home as soon as you step in. You can tell that everything was well thought out- we had everything we needed. They have the beach essentials- towels, chairs, and cooler. The neighborhood is very quiet and safe. It is a short drive to the New Bedford Ferry terminal, where you can take a day trip to Martha's Vineyard. It is also convenient for a day trip to other Cape towns. Sloane was quick to respond and gave great advice and recommendations. Family Tides was the perfect spot to rest and rejuvenate after exploring the Cape!

This is the perfect place for a relaxing vacation. Just a few houses away from the ocean. Friendly neighborhood. Everything you need right in town.

We had a beautiful stay here! The beach is small and somewhat private with not many people on it. The home is cute with a lot of New England charm! Great little community and a great yard for the kids to play when not at the beach!

The cottage is absolutely delightful. So clean! Fully furnished! Perfect location! Awesome and responsive owner.
