West Egg-- Located on West Island, in Fairhaven, MA. Our freshly renovated restored cottage provides the perfect environment to escape, a respite from the urban rat race. The simple charm of an uncomplicated beach cottage is enhanced with a playful modern flair.
The pristine town beach is a match for the best on the Cape and the natural reserve provide natural walking trails and access to secluded beaches.
Only an hour drive from Boston makes West Island the undiscovered gem of the South Shore.
Discovering the historic architecture of Fairhaven town center is a pleasant surprise. Nearby New Bedford provides authentic Portuguese food, museums and plentiful warehouses of antiquing.
Island life is as simple as a drive across the causeway. We are sure you'll love as much as we do.

    We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. And we really liked that we could communicate with Jonathan and Peter whenever we had a question. West Island is a very relaxing place to unwind and enjoy the ocean breezes.

    We look forward to our stay in Peter and Jonathan’s beautiful home every year. It’s perfect for us from the home itself to the location, to the sunsets, to the breezes off of the bay. It just never gets old❤️.

    Adorable cottage, just right for us two older sisters. Very accurate listing. Kitchen was well appointed and stocked with plenty of dishes, glasses and useful tools, spices and condiments. Excellent quality linens, comfy beds. Enjoyed many days of big beach walks and small beach swims. Beach views from cottage were sweet.

    If you’re interested in a perfect West Island home for a vacation rental, then the West Egg is for you. Peter and Jonathan’s beach home was very accommodating! The premise was clean and comfortable. It’s location was ideal for our needs, and the outdoor shower was terrific! It’s a home we plan to rent next year. Thank you!

    This house is our annual exhale. Vacation starts when we unlock the door to this thoughtful and beautiful home. We have a family reunion every year...except for that damn COVID...and every year it serves us perfectly. We love it here!

    There are only wonderful things to say about our six days at this charming, lovely, property. EVERYTHING one needs (including the view) is provided. A manual was provided with house instructions, hints, location of every item one might look for, restaurants, beaches (and a beach pass), sites, etc..The decor was bright, creative and colorful. The kitchen full of anything one needs and very well-organized. Architectural details sleek and beautifully integrated. Fabulous art on the walls. Comfortable beds with luscious bedding. The entire house has been updated and expresses attention to the smallest items. Nothing was missed. Jonathan and Peter have developed a space that encourages one to sit back, relax and enjoy. We spent our days walking beaches, eating great food (and there is loads of it around), enjoying the sunsets, and, oh yeah, sampling all the ice cream we could. My best friend and I settled in and did not want to leave. Thank you to the owners for thinking of and supplying everything we could have dreamed of for a delightful stay.

    I felt completely at home from the moment I walked in the door. The space is absolutely charming and it’s decorated with a wonderful selection of mid-century modern furnishings and accessories. The cupboards are filled with everything you could possibly need for a fun and relaxing time on the ocean. West island is an amazing place to spend some quiet days. I look forward to returning to this very special home!
