About this property

Entire place

. Please see our virtual tour video This charming 1 .5 bedroom cottage is an all-in-one vacation package. The cottage is located in one of New England's hidden seaside gems. The property is tucked away on a picturesque gravel road on a private cul-de-sac. The cottage features an open floorplan, fully applianced and well-stocked kitchen. The extra-large patio offers a gas grill, completely charged, cleaned, and ready to go. Additionally, there is an outdoor patio set with plenty of room left for sunbathing or just watching the fishing boats go by in the distance. Bring your own kayaks or rent them locally. Cast a fishing line right off the patio! The cottage is air-conditioned and offers 2 full-size beds and 1 single bed in a cozy sleeping alcove off the living area. The living area also offers a futon couch.
Just a short walk along the beach brings you to Fort Phoenix, a national historic landmark. Fort Phoenix features an additional beach and a large children's playground and picnic area. A great opportunity for a romantic sunset stroll or a place to wear out the kids.
The bay is fed by warm Gulfstream currents, so the water is always comfortable in season. Great for a refreshing afternoon swim. The calm waters of the bay offer an easy opportunity for water sports of any kind and a safe place for the kids.

Discover some of the hidden coastal communities along the rt 6 corridor for an authentic New England experience. Fairhaven is located just a short 25 minute drive from Cape Cod, 1hour from Boston, and just 45 minutes to Providence RI with easy highway access.

Just over the bridge is the historic City of New Bedford rich in tradition and local culture. Head over to the Port Authority and hop a the "fast Ferry" to Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket Island for an adventurous day trip. Walk the harbor and marvel at one of the largest fishing boat fleets in the world. Take advantage of the freshest and most affordable seafood on the east coast. Our seafood markets offer "right off the boat" choices.
New Bedford's blossoming Down Town is experiencing a cultural renaissance. Check out some of the art galleries, holistic spas, and specialty shops. New Bedford has a growing and nationally recognized artist community.

This cottage offers the ideal opportunity for a romantic "off the Grid" getaway or an intimate gathering with some great friends and family. Have a boat? No problem.

Awful

Property on the side of the cottage off of the patio door from bedroom was unusable with junk all over. Inside was dreary and the worst was there was a MOUSE under the stove!! My son-in-law brought me a mouse trap and it snapped at 3 a m. I covered it up and left it for Dave to dispose of it. Would you pay $300 a night or would you book it out of there and want your money back?

It’s a cottage

The location was absolutely stunning right on the water. Close to everything and anything you can think of. I believe that we were the first ones for the season the house wasn’t as clean as we expected so we cleaned. But the property manager was very kind and communicative. I would stay again. But remember it’s a cottage. The only other thing is it needs some throw rugs in the bedroom just because the floor is a little cold on your feet. And some dish towels would be helpful also

Location, location, location.

7 nite stay at this cottage. Location is awesome. Cottage is, a cottage. Patio is right on the water and large. Maintenance of the property needs improvement. Weeds in concrete patio in every crack. 20 min. Job would be huge improvement. More time spent on patio, so that space needs work.

Very Nice Stay

Property was great,loved being so close to the water. The cottage is really cute and comfortable. plenty of outdoor seating. One suggestion entrance could use a grab rail outside and a rail inside for individuals with mobility issues due to step ups.

Upon entering there was a musty smell and the cottage appeared to not have been cleaned as there was dirt and sand on the floors and the linnens were also musty smelling, airing out the house was necessary but not all the windows had screens , the toilet seat was not fastened to the toilet and i had to tighten the seat nuts before it could be used , there were damp rid buckets and moisture soaking pellets under the furniture and some were leaking fluids which had to be cleaned up a few times during our stay , the property was conveniently located on the beach and the neighbors were very hospitable which was what made the issues inside bearable , all in all I think the property location was great but some attention to the cleanliness is needed , my experience rating 6/10

Beautiful view

My wife and I stayed here during late November for some Autumn Northeast hiking. The property was very clean and well maintained. The views from the front porch are excellent and the house is pretty close to everything. Great time.

Can't wait to go back - what a little gem of a spot - could not get enough of the view and spending every moment on the large patio soaking in the ocean right in front of us , sea breeze and moonlit nights. Dave the PM was like having family check in and made sure we were happy. - Place was clean, relaxing and didn't want to leave!
