I rented the house to attend my daughter's wedding and it couldn't have been a more perfect home away from home. Kitchen was well stocked and the house was decorated beautifully. The host was very responsive and helpful. Bikes and cornhole came in handy!!

My family of four absolutely loved our stay here. The house is perfect, we did not want to leave! It was so nice to be so close to the beaches & ice cream shop! We had a really great summer vacation here.

we loved our stay at Sea Salt Cottage- the property was well kept and very clean. The kids enjoyed smores every night at the firepit, bike rides around the island and ice cream from West Island Creamery. Beth was also a very responsive host. Highly recommend a stay here- the cottage brought us back to our New England childhood!

This property was as described in the listing. It was perfect for our family of 4. The house was clean and comfortable. The yard was perfect for playing and relaxing. We particularly enjoyed biking through the nearby DCR property and exploring the different beaches. Thank you for a nice getaway to start the summer!

We LOVED our stay here. The house is beautiful with sooo many amenities...outdoor shower, swing, stunning back yard with flowers, playtoys, grill, comfy beds, awesome cafe porch, and a fully stocked and equipped kitchen. It's a great location too. Beth was very responsive and timely, as well as helpful for recommendations. You must eat at Off the Hook and take in the live music! Thank you Beth and Steve for sharing your beach home with us! We plan to return for sure!

Someone obviously took great pleasure in decorating and outfitting this house. It had absolutely everything we needed and everything else to make a vacation incredible. The furnishings, the linens, the kitchen utensils, the outdoor bath..the backyard furniture, the back deck.....It was sublime.

I have never stayed in a rental that had such a well stocked kitchen-from spices to flour to every possible cooking utensil. Kitchen/dining and living room well appointed with a spacious private back shaded yard, gas grill, fire place, and comfortable outdoor furniture . Storage shed with bikes, beach chairs and children's beach toys .Corn Hole game as well. Close to the town beach.

Sea Salt Cottage is a place where all your worries melt away. The accommodations are more than comfortable and West Island is such a quaint area. The private beach is so peaceful. With a grocery store only 10 minutes away & the ferry terminal less than 20, the possibilities for staying in or heading out on adventures are endless. This was our third stay at Sea Salt and we hope to be back next year!

Thanks for our stay at sea salt cottage!
I want to keep this short and sweet so I will just say, sea salt cottage is as beautiful and relaxing as the pictures make it look! The area of the location is wonderful, the beach is so close, and everything you could possibly need for your stay is at this house. Perfect New England getaway for friends. Beth was so helpful and responsive, and she gave us so many great suggestions. 100% would stay again.

Perfect New England Seaside Getaway
This place is just as the listing describes. Perfectly appointed house in a quiet residential neighborhood. Check in was quick and easy. Beth was the perfect host. Always quick with commmunication and available to answer any questions. The house, itself, is gorgeous. Huge eat in kitchen/ding room. Comfy living room and tons of high quality bedding for the guests. Where Sea Salt really shines though is in the outdoor space. Huge outdoor area with everything you need. Awesome fire pit (we used almost every night) and outdoor dining area. The outdoor shower has to be experienced to be believed. This isn’t a garden hose hanging off the gutter…this is a full hot/cold bathroom with a view of the stars. Definitely a highlight. We loved every minute of our stay.

Sea Salt Cottage
This was the perfect cottage and location for a relaxing getaway. My husband and I loved every minute and would highly recommend staying here to those looking for a quiet, calm place near the water. Beth and Steve were very responsive and provided great suggestions for food and recreation. I already miss it!

Wonderful time with family
We had a wonderful time staying at the Sea Salt Cottage on West Island. Beautiful area that's not as busy as other areas so it was a nice retreat. Beth was great in communicating with us and letting us know all of the activities available to us, including hiking around the trails on the island. We really enjoyed our time and would stay there again.

This is our second time staying here and we just love it. The house is so comfortable and I love that the kitchen has everything including several types of coffee makers. West Island is charming, lovely beaches and nice walks.

Lovely getaway
Sea Salt Cottage is the perfect spot to relax and get away from it all! West Island is lovely all around from its beaches to its sunsets to the quiet. An easy drive to the ferry terminal in New Bedford expands the range of fun and beauty to lots of other islands. Beth and Steve are such amazing hosts that we've stayed at Sea Salt Cottage two years in a row (so far)!

We just got home from this amazing place! Beth was helpful throughout from before booking, to giving suggestions before we arrived and answering questions during our stay. The house is a beautiful beach home, my daughter's lived the outdoor shower and tub. The inside was beautifully decorated and comfortable with everything we needed. The area is quiet and great for families. The beach was not crowded and everyone was so friendly.

Excellent location on a quiet island in a home with everything we needed to relax. House has a well equipped kitchen and a warm and cozy feel for our family. We spent out days relaxing on the island, bike riding and walking. In the evening we would arrive home and cook dinner. It was exactly what we needed and enjoyed our time.

This house is a gem! The photos are beautiful but stepping into the house will take your breath away - so thoughtfully decorated, larger than expected, and everything you need for a wonderful trip. The beach itself is close, warm water and friendly people, but even bad weather is okay because you get to enjoy the luxury of the house! We did many dinner reservations "on the main land" and had so much good food. Beth was so easy to comminicate with, super helpful and very responsive. Amazing trip!

The home is lovely and situated in a family friendly beach community. There were a few issues with appliances... the refrigerator was set to highest setting but food/drinks did not get very cold. Outdoor cushions were left out in rain by prior renters making them too wet to use. The dishwasher did not clean the dishes very well had to run a few loads twice on highest setting. Way too much "beach decor" throughout home causing clutter.

Sea Salt cottage is without a doubt just about the best rental property we have ever stayed in! My family of 4 loved everything about it, Beth and Steve have truly created a home away from home. From the lovely cottage garden with fire pit, grill and tons of seating, to the superb kitchen and interiors, we all said we’d love to return.
West Island is tranquil and has great beaches to explore and it’s fun to cycle around on the bikes provided at the cottage. Lots of possibilities for outings, we went to New Bedford (really close) and Boston (about 70 min). Most of our time was spent relaxing at this wonderful vacation retreat.
Thanks so much to Beth and Steve once again, highly highly recommended!
