The home was clean, well-kept and in very good condition. For 2-3 people the accommodations are very nice. The host (Glen) was easy to communicate with if needed. The home had great accommodations including outdoor grill, outdoor shower, beach chairs, cooler, beach towels, Town Beach sticker as well as other small amenities. Bedrooms were on the small side, but beds were very comfortable. Walk to Associations Beach and ICE CREAM shop. I would stay at this home again!

Island Breeze Cottage just set the standard for our favorite vacation house! Everything was cute and clean and SO conveniently located!! We will definitely return for years to come!
We have stayed on West Island for a few years now and it is the perfect, quiet little island for our quiet little family. It lacks the loud tourist attractions of most beaches, but when we are in the mood for that, they are just a short drive away on Cape Cod. From Island Breeze, there is a little beach and a cute little ice cream shop in walking distance. Perfect for adventures with our 4 year old daughter!
The cottage was the perfect size and adorably decorated. The little kitchen was perfect for making lunches and the few dinners we didn't eat out. Two different living rooms were perfect for watching movies in one and playing games in the other. The only slight challenge came because I am 7 feet tall and had to watch out to keep from bumping my head, but I spend most of my life watching out for that. It wasn't a problem for my more normal sized family members.
All-in-all, I can't say enough good things about Island Breeze!!

The Island Breeze cottage is amazing. Every small detail is thought of so that you truly feel like you are in your home away from home. Not only is everything up to date and well maintained, it is also impeccably clean. Loved this little slice of heaven on the island.

We had our yearly girls only vacation ans this is one of our favorites to date. A true gem of a quaint house in such a beautiful location tucked away on an island but still close enough to all the exciting this Mass has to offer. The location and quiet area were the best parts. A creamery just 2 doors down and a private beach. 5 plus stars and the house is spotless. We will be back.

This was the 17th year we had our annual Girls trip and it was Fantastic! The cottage is perfect, it was very clean and thoughtfully stocked for vacationers. The location is a hidden gem, we enjoyed the beach and tranquility in the neighborhood and we also were able to tour the surrounding coastal towns and take in the sites and enjoy the wildlife and scenery within minutes of the cottage. The hosts were extremely helpful and very responsive, we would certainly recommend this spot to friends and family.

My two friends, my dog, and I loved this cottage. It’s perfect as a base for day trips and also great for relaxing after a long day. The surrounding blocks were ideal for a morning dog walk. Getting groceries and gassing up for day trips was very convenient. The cottage itself was clean, nicely decorated, and everything was labeled and easy to locate. Their guidebook was extremely helpful and much appreciated. It was a wonderful stay.

This was the perfect spot for my wife and I to take our dog and completely unplug for a long weekend trip. The space was kept immaculately clean, and the directory that we were given when we arrived had everything clearly written down. The back porch was the perfect way to spend the mornings and evenings, and there was even a little dog gate to allow for our pup to stay outside with us. The private dog beach that was less than a 10-minute walk away was amazing - we went three times and each time we were the only ones there, and the beach/water was perfect for our dog to play in and swim. We would absolutely recommend this stay to anyone looking for a place to relax with their dog for a long weekend.

Terrific cottage get-a-way with two living spaces, front deck, back deck, and all as pictured. Labels on drawers, light switches very helpful. Bedrooms even have dimmer switches on the lights. Beds are platform with storage drawers - great idea. Cottage all in excellent condition. Beautiful part of the coast.

We had a wonderful stay at Glenn and Jackie’s place. The cottage is so charming, comfortable and well organized. We had plenty of space for ourselves and occasional guests and our dog loved playing in the back yard. There were lots of considerate touches like labeled drawers, cabinets, and light switches so we knew where to find things from the moment we arrived. Our family had fun playing croquet in the backyard and my husband spent lots of time reading in the hammock. The deck, grill and outdoor seating were perfect for barbecuing and the outdoor shower was such a treat after coming back from the beach.
Glenn was easy to reach and communicate with if we ever needed anything. We enjoyed our time at the cottage so much and we wouldn’t hesitate to book another stay.

The Island Breeze was wonderful! I traveled with my college best friend to celebrate our birthdays. We were so happy with the cottage, and the ease and proximity to area tourist destinations we had on our itinerary. It was easy to find, in a cute, quiet neighborhood, tucked on the West Island. Cottage was perfect for traveling friends, with 2 bedrooms. We were especially grateful for the wonderful advice and suggestions from the owners about the ferry options for Martha's Vineyard (saved us a lot of miles by going out of New Bedford!), and lots of great restaurant recommendations. They went above and beyond to help us with our parking pass for the ferry- and took all the stress out of it! I really appreciated all of the delicious options for the Keurig too! Very clean and well-appointed cottage, and would love to visit again!

This cottage is absolutely adorable. The quintessential Cape cottage. The decorations are adorable and every little thing you could need was there. From hair dryer, k cups with a variety of choices, to beach chairs, umbrella and coolers! They were wonderful to deal with and I just loved being on West Island! Thank you for providing us with a homey, comfy place that we will definitely come to again.

Friendly neighborhood, great access to beaches, fun & cozy cottage!
We had a great week at the cottage and loved all the spaces where we could just relax & read a book--on a hammock, the window seat, the large back deck. Everything we needed was supplied in the kitchen. And the community was so kind & welcoming. Can't beat the island for the nature access with trails around the corner either! We would love to return next year!

The compass Rose cottage was One of the finest vacation rentals I have rented. The owners thought of everything to make anyone’s stay comfortable and enjoyable. Everything was well stocked, extremely clean, and comfortable. Glenn communicated promptly answering any questions and providing instructions to make our check in streamlined. The neighborhood was very quiet. The dogs loved walking the nearby trails and the spacious back yard and deck. We will definitely stay again should the opportunity arise. Thanks again !!
