The property was amazing. We had EVERYTHING we could think of and the outdoor shower was amazing. Our kiddos were able to navigate the space easily and all the adults felt right at home. The access to the town beach was perfect for us and our roddlers. Can't wait to come back.

We rented this property for 42 days. The property looks good and in a good area, however there were a lot of problems the entire stay. We were without hot water upstairs for about 2 weeks. The outside lights were taped shut by the owner so we had no outdoor lighting. The smoke detectors went off and the fix was to turn off the breaker. No working smoke detectors for over a week. Owners were notified by the town that the water would be on/off for the month of July. The water was dirty and sometimes no water at all. We should have been notified. The owner lives next door and came in the house unannounced multiple times. This was a very stressful stay.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay, the house was very clean comfortable and very well stocked. It was as described and there was plenty of room for us (6 adults) Sheila was very responsive to every question we had, including she promptly located a couple of items we left behind. We have the added bonus of family within close walking to this house. Thank you again we had a wonderful weekend, we would definitely stay here again.

We truly enjoyed our stay at this property. It was very clean, spacious and properly stocked for our needs. The neighborhood was quiet although there were a few houses nearby undergoing construction. The beach was a few minutes drive from the house and it was very nice. We took walks around the neighborhood and through the trails near the house. The owner was very responsive and the communications were very helpful. We definitely recommend this house if you are looking for a quiet vacation spot!

We had a great stay at this cottage. It was just as described and felt like a cozy home that you can tell is well taken care of. We have stayed at many different cottages on the island and this was bar far one of our favorites! There were so many amenities, we especially appreciated having access to the washer/dryer. The wrap around deck & patio furniture were also great for gathering and eating outside. Communication with the Owner was also very easy and responsive. We look forward to many more visits to this wonderful Island!

As always, the Island Is great, I have been coming to the Island for six years, but unfortunately the cost of a rental is too cost prohibited. Owners are becoming less friendly, neighbors do not like if you have company and park a car or two on the street ( per the owner) will have to look for another location next year !

Picture Perfect

This home was in a fantastic location for day trips to all the touristy fun nearby but tucked away in its own peaceful natural playground. We loved all the trails, digging for clams and relaxing on the beach. There's even an ice cream shop and restaurant within walking distance. The house was roomy and comfortable for our family if five. The host was quick to respond to our questions and left the home very well stocked for our visit. We will definitely try to stay here again.

The house was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for a lovely week. The hosts are great. West Island is quiet, and the town beach at the end is calm and perfect for young kids. Location also is good for day trips to the Cape or into New Bedford.

We had 6 family members coming from Maine, Mass., and Rhode Island. This home was just what we needed for a long weekend get-together. The neighborhood is quiet. The home is very comfortable. The deck was really nice for relaxing and visiting with each other. I can't think of anything that was lacking. I would recommend this property to anyone visiting the Fairhaven area.

The house was clean, spacious, outdoor deck, and amazing outdoor shower. Enjoyed the town beach and lots of places to walk and bike. Very relaxing and good place to unwind and spend time with family. Fairhaven area great dining, shopping,, and locations nearby for mini golf and movies. West Island is a beautiful place to spend time at and close to other areas to check out.

Fantastic place for a getaway

Fantastic place for a getaway

This is absolutely one of the sweetest rental properties we've found in this area. The owners have done a great job of updating this house while making it cozy. All of the amenities and thoughtful additions such as beach chairs, ice packs and a wonderful porch to eat on were such a nice touch! We had 3 generations ( from 21 year Olds to grandparents in their 70's) and had plenty of space. Everything was super clean and welcoming. The Island itself was beautiful and people were so friendly. We spent a lot of time on the beach so the beach pass was great! Thank you Alex and Sheila- we would not hesitate to recommend your house to anyone!

This was a great house for the price. Very well stocked and clean. Bikes, beach chairs, cooler available for use was a nice bonus. The weather was not great so we weren’t able to enjoy all the island had to offer but we would return. FYI, there is a fox in the neighborhood that is not afraid of humans- don’t be surprised when you see him!

This property is perfect if you’re looking for a quiet place to rest and rejuvenate. With access to a resident-only town beach, this really beats staying somewhere more public. The house is perfectly outfitted and has been recently updated. We loved the porch and the outdoor shower. Owners communicated with us promptly when we had questions and were attentive to anything we needed. I would book this again for my family of 6 in a heartbeat!
