Views and water access is the best part.
Excellent location and beautiful views. Had difficulty contacting the property owner to get into the house. Overall cleanliness is lacking given the price you pay.

Wish we could stay longer!
Can’t wait to go back next year! The home and location are perfect for our extended family vacation. Everything is clean, the kitchen is well supplied for cooking meals on site with enough seating inside and on the deck. The ocean view of the bay is perfect for pictures and memories. Thank you for a great vacation 2024.

Great spot on the beach, nice area and nice hosts
We had a great time. The best thing about the property was that it was unlike most rentals because everything worked as described. I don't think even one item was a disappointment. It had good dishes, working utilities, good furniture, enough bathrooms, it was well-supplied with everything. We left some stuff behind to accomodate for stuff we used. the pictures were good and not deceptive. It could use AC, but being on the beach the need is less than elsewhere. Our hosts were nice and did not bother us, it was a very pleasant place to stay for a week and relax with the family. The beach is actually 100 feet away, but there were not other properties between the beach and the house and the place was very private. Thanks, Don

Fantastic Beachfront Location
The location was very convenient to everything! The views are incomparable!! Panoramic views of the bay; just gorgeous. The only downfall was that the cleaning was lacking. Cobwebs everywhere; left over soap bars and containers in the showers as well as mold on the shower curtain. Woken up by the smoke alarm going off at 5 am found a spider inside that caused alarm to go off. Had two more instances of spiders one in my bed at 5:30 am and another dropping from the ceiling on me in the kitchen. Just think the cleaning crew needs a pep talk to get the place ready better. Towels were old and very worn. Also found the request to wash and dry linens and towels before the 10am checkout to be unrealistic.

Location, views, and layout are good reasons to book this property. Perfect for the nature enthusiast, avid reader or kayaker. If your looking for updated amenities though, look elsewhere.

We stayed in this wonderful home, with its gorgeous view of the water. We walked the path up to the beach, and toured the area. We were here for a family wedding and staying in a house is just what we needed.

Awesome property and location!
My siblings and I wanted a long fall weekend with my mom in New England. This was the perfect place for us! The house was wonderful - had everything we needed. Plenty of space and you couldn't beat the location! Not only is it on the water, with amazing views and sunsets, but we were centrally located for all the places we wanted to visit. There were only 4 of us this time, but we already started talking about booking another trip here and bringing the kids. The owner was also very responsive and included a lot of good information in the welcome letter. I would highly recommend this rental!

Annual sister getaway
Lovely house, great views of Buzzard Bay, quiet. Great deck to sit and have a glass of wine or a beer. We explored New Bedford which is very close - went to Whaling Museum, Glass Museum and historic house. All great but the glass Museum was our favorite. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and great owner. Easy walk to the bay (about a thousand yards) that we all enjoyed, especially one sister who loves birds. Highly recommend.

Peaceful Wedding Weekend Retreat
Our family rented this beautiful home for my son’s wedding weekend. With all of the running back and forth for all of the wedding events and family/friends coming and going, having this beautiful, spacious, light filled home, right on the water, to come home to rest and recoup was an absolute blessing! We will definitely stay here again!!
