Family Friendly Beach side Fun



Charming two-bedroom cottage featuring an open floorplan, The cottage offers everything you need for a private all-in-one vacation. This hidden gem is ideally located on a quiet, gravel road at the end of a cul-de-sac. The cottage offers a fully applianced and well-stocked kitchen, complete with a breakfast bar.
The oversized deck features a fully charged gas grill, clean and ready for outdoor dining for 6. The calm bay waters allow for a great opportunity for any kind of water sports and hours of worry-free frolicking for the kids. Bring your kayaks and paddle boards or rent them locally and have them delivered,. Area rental options include by-the-day or weekly rates. Bring your fishing gear and cast a line right off the deck!
The Living area is tastefully decorated in a mid-century modern design. There are 4 skylights and two sliding glass doors for plenty of natural light. Lounge on the deck with your summer reading list or just watch as the New Bedford fishing boats go by in the distance.
Just a short walk along the beach brings you to Fort Phoenix, a national historic landmark. Fort Phoenix features a more expansive beach area, and a large children's playground, including a picnic area. A great opportunity for a romantic 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.
Explore historic Fairhaven, offering free walking tours and miles of coastal nature preserves and bike trails. 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 1 hour from Boston and just 35 minutes to Providence RI with easy highway access.

Just over the bridge is the city of New Bedford. Head over to the Port Authority and hop 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 most inexpensive and freshest seafood on the east coast. Our seafood markets are offering some "right off the boat" seafood choices. Grill up some swordfish or sauté some fresh scallops.
Visit New Bedford's blossoming Down Town, rich in history and culture. Check out some of the art galleries and specialty shops. New Bedford has a growing and nationally recognized artist community.

This cottage offers an ideal opportunity for a romantic "off the Grid" getaway or an intimate gathering with some great friends and family. Have a boat? No problem. The cottage also comes with a boat mooring at no additional cost, just 25 feet offshore. We have a property management team at the ready to ensure a seamless vacation experience. Come and enjoy Cape Cod like a vacation without the congestion and expense

Fair location
We are rating our overall stay fair due to the following. Exterior of property noted overgrown vegetation. While there was a an attempt to provide flowering plants they were not cared. Interior seems run down, needs upgrading and paint. BB utensils and frying pans were dirty worn and need to be replaced. Kitchen appliances are run down and should be replaced. Being right on the water is great and while I understand vegetation from the bay will wash onto the beach during the stay. I expected the beach to be raked and clean for our arrival. Hope this review helps. y were not carefor

Great location
We stayed here for my law school graduation. The house wasn’t as clean as we’d hoped, but we definitely could have been the first group to stay here for the season, just some dust and cobwebs. There were also small ants. The owner stopped by unannounced, it would be nice to be told mostly because the only entrance to the home is all glass. Over it was a fun place to stay. It’s right on the water. Easy to get to the beach, beach was clean with lots of fun shells to look at. Beds were comfortable. Mini splits in all the rooms so temps can be adjusted for each person. Over all great stay. They accommodated our travel needs allowing us early check in and late check out.

Perfect location, true getaway
A great spot to rest and relax. proximity to water can't be beat, watching sunrises and sunsets was perfect. My 78 yr old mother found it a teeny bit rough around the edges but she still loved our stay. Anf it's a beach cottage. Overall a fabulous vacation!

Absolutely the most relaxing stay! The deck here is fantastic, it is actually bigger than it looks in the pictures, right on the water. Watch the tide come in and go out right under your feet. Sunrise and full moon right across the bay.

perfect location. great host. everything we needed.
This is our 2nd visit to this property and we love it. We walked on the beach down to Fort Phoenix. The house was really clean and had everything we needed. We appreciated the small portable electric heaters in the living room and each of the bedrooms in addition to the gas floor heater in the kitchen. Dave is always such a pleasure.

A very nice time was had.
We really enjoyed our 4 night stay at this property. The listing description is very accurate as are the photos. Just keep in mind that this is a true beachfront cottage not some pristine gem that just fell off the pages of Architectural Digest. There are a few nicks and dings and a few grains of sand that escaped the vacuum cleaner but honestly that should be expected. It certainly didn't bother us in the least. My only complaint is that there are seven (yes seven) speakers mounted on the walls of the living space. Two of them are mounted at only about 6'-1" off the floor. I'm about 6'-4" and managed to clobber both of them with my head. To add insult to injury the speakers do not appear to be connected to anything. Dear owner, please remove these hazards before someone gets hurt. Other than that we would highly recommend this property.
