Oceanfront on Buzzards Bay

Lovely cottage on the water. Great breezes, sunrises, upper deck.

I booked this knowing that it is next to the parking lot for the boat launch for the town. The owner has successfully laid things out so you don’t see the parking lot much from inside the house. I didn’t realize that I would occasionally smell and hear stuff from the parking lot (people smoking weed, idling in their diesel pickup or talking loud on their phones). That interrupted the feel of seclusion overlooking the beautiful bay. The cottage is cute but compact. It’s fine for two people and the best thing about it is the three season porch and second floor deck. We had an issue with an ermine (weasel) who lives under the house coming into it while we were there. We had to leave the rental after only three days but the owner reimbursed us and was planning on having someone remove the animal.

Very cute cottage. Location is right on the water. The upper deck provides a great place to relax and enjoy the water views. The front of the house does border the public parking lot for the Fairhaven boat launch ramp. This being said, we were not bothered by excessive noise or unwanted traffic. The location is ideal for exploring New Bedford, the Cape, and Newport, RI. It was very quiet overnight.

Lovely cottage, great upper deck.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The minute you step inside you're transported to a place of relaxation and delight. You can start relaxing right away, because all the necessities, other then food, is provided. The lovely artwork and the outside 2nd story deck are inviting you to sit down, relax, and start your vacation!

This cottage is cute as a button. Perfect for a couple with 2 kids looking to relax. It is small, and that is what we loved about it. It is simply perfect! It had all we needed and then some. The kitchen is tiny but I had everything I needed to cook a killer chicken piccata and my home made pizza. The piece the resistance was the deck. Witnessed beautiful sunrises and great breezes up there. Suzanne was a very responsive host. I really really hope to be able to come back here. Thank you Suzanne and Steven for sharing this slice of heaven!

Second stay here and we enjoyed it again. It's quite compact but enough space to relax, cook and even entertain some guests on the roof deck. Recommended.

This was our second stay at this property and we had another wonderful time. The cottage is really charming and the location can't be beat!

Can’t beat the location. Lovely views. Perfect small town beach right out the door. Property is small, but as depicted in the listing. Great location to head to the Cape if you want. Plenty to do in the New Bedford and Fairhaven areas.

It's a compact place, but with all the basics covered, and plenty of living space including a great deck area. Amazing view, and the entertainment of folks launching and retreiving their boats. 5 mins drive from multiple stores up in Fairhaven and 10minutes to the restaurants and bars of New Bedford. It's a great base to explore the whole south coast and I've already booked another two weeks here.
