Shell Cottage is by far the nicest place I have rented on West Island or on the Neck over the years.
This cottage was just what we were looking for and more. Only used downstairs bedroom. Once you go over the causeway, the sea air and island calm takes over. Great restaurant right on the causeway but often cooked seafood in the well appointed kitchen. No issues….owner responsive.
What a beautiful and quaint cottage! My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The location is perfect if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. Greg, the host, is a great communicator. He answered my questions promptly and clearly. We will definitely be back again. Thanks Greg.

We had a great long weekend at the seashell cottage! The host, Greg, was very helpful and accommodating from start to finish. The cottage was so cute and well thought out. It had everything we needed and was just so cozy. The loft and swinging bed was a fun feature. All beds, couches, linens were very comfortable. Location on the island was great, loved going on early morning walks and seeing the sunset on the beach. Would definitely return in the future!
If you are looking for a quiet location, yet close to attractions, this is the home for you. We absolutely loved this clean and beautiful home. Greg was very responsive and beyond helpful during our stay. His very responsive communication and hospitality was excellent and very much appreciated. We enjoyed our short walk to the beach for the sunset, morning walk on the white sand on another nearby beach, and the short drive to nearby attractions. We enjoyed being close to the ferry to head out to Martha’s Vineyard, and enjoyed the early summer blooms at nearby gardens, especially the roses at the Rotch-Jones-Duff House. If you’re looking for a great stay, look no further. Thank you so much, Greg. This will be a birthday celebration my sister won’t forget.
Overall great house can’t wait too come back in the summer! Loved the deck and close walk too the beach .
Shell Cottage was all I could have ever hoped for this past weekend for a quick getaway with my sister. From its comfy beds, well-stocked kitchen, and linens to the cozy fireplace Greg has left no stone unturned in stocking this little gem. I was so happy I could bring my well-behaved dog as well. Add in Greg's homemade scones that he blessed us with and I was in heaven! Thank you for a truly wonderful stay! I will be back for sure!
Everything was perfect. Excellent internet & good phone reception for an island. Wish we could have stayed longer. April was a quiet off-season time of the year. Our 13 year old dog was happy with it too.
The cottage is perfectly decorated and there is excellent use of space. My son loved the hanging bed. A very cool touch. Great spot to go on walks and see the water.
