We had a great stay!
The cottage was very comfortable for my family, (5 adults). It was clean and well stocked with everything you could want at the beach. Sloane was very responsive and wanted to be sure we had a great vacation. We would happily stay again!
5.0
The house was perfect for our family of 5 (one teenager, two young children). The bayside beach is a 2 minute walk out the front door, and the calm waters are perfect for swimmers, sun bathers, and shell collectors. New Bedford is a 10-minute drive away, and many Cape Cod attractions are about an hour.

Quaint off the pages of Coastal Living, cottage close to beaches. Tiny house charm with places for peaceful living. Sloane was the ultimate host with plenty of wonderful suggestions on places to go and restaurants to eat. Thank you.

Great stay!
We had a great time here, excellent access to the beach, really enjoyed having beach chairs, towels, and some surprise bathroom toiletries available to use. We got there on a super hot and humid day so it was a little uncomfortable to unpack, but the little a/c did a good job when the weather broke at keeping it comfortable in the house. Sloane was very communicative and a pleasure to work with.

Wow!
This place is a diamond in the rough. You will love your stay here and the proximity to the beach. Sloan has thought of everything that you might need and it is at the cottage. Communication was wonderful. And the description of the cottage was accurate. There is one wall AC unit so if you are coming in the middle of the summer make sure to know that you’re going to be hot. However that is stated in the description.

Nice relaxing weekend
My girlfriends and I had such a nice relaxing weekend. Being literal steps to the beach was clutch - no having to pack up the car with chairs and coolers. A short drive to some great spots in New Bedford. Would stay again!

Wonderful little house.
Three house was or base of operations for the New Bedford folk festival. It was close enough to town to make that convenient but we could hear the waves hitting the shore at night to put us to sleep.

Cleanest place I ever stayed in
This little cottage is covered in nostalgia. Angels from above couldn’t have gotten it any cleaner. Plenty of towels and we loved the beach accessories to borrow like chairs towels and toys. Short walk down a private trail to the water.
No traffic here and the neighbors were all quiet as church mice.
Grocery store right down the road. Never heard a police or ambulance siren anywhere. Sitting by the water and watching the boats on the other side of the bay was fabuous. If you’re looking for old fashioned yet super sanitary this is the one.

Cute little cottage near the water. Neighborhood is a little rough and we couldn't find anywhere to actually walk by the water (its all private property).
Central location (approximately an hour from Boston and Cape Cod).

Home away from home
What can I say about this wonderful cottage and the experience we had? Everything was perfect, from the super-clean house, the amenities, thoughtful touches, cozy atmosphere, beautiful decor, quiet neighborhood, friendly neighbors, and a super friendly host. Sloane communicated with us throughout the entire process and made us feel so welcome. We really felt like it was our home away from home, which says a lot. Thank you for helping make our experience one for the memory books. The next time we visit MA, we will definitely stay here again!

I loved this house so much. I've stayed at other places before and I felt like a guest. This place is so great I hope to come back as soon as the weather turns warm.
4.0
The house is very cozy, well decorated and comfortable. The back yard and deck area was very nice. I had my 2 year old toddler so it was tough not having a bath tub or laundry on site. I think this is a great place for couples or family with older children.

Thank you for the awesome beach adventure! Your cottage was absolutely perfect. Exactly as described, beautifully decorated, extremely clean and had all the necessities for a beach stay right there (chairs, cooler, towels, umbrella, sand toys). We walked right to the private beach and enjoyed the quiet neighborhood so much. Your welcome packet was also very informative and we did many of the activities listed. Sloane was an extremely communicative hostess and also very kind - offering us an extra night because we missed one due to weather. Great experience!

Cozy Fairhaven Getaway
Our family of five fit comfortably in this cozy beach cottage as a home base for a couple of days of summer fun and then a family wedding in Mattapoisett. Nice deck and back yard with lawn chairs to enjoy the breeze and listen to the waves from the Bay. Ceiling fans helped with the warm summer days and nights. Hosts were great and communicative.

Really Cute and Comfortable Beach House
Splendidly comfortable and cleverly appointed relaxing beach house. This small house handled six adults and one child beautifully during the day and many more nearby family members by night. Loved the proximity to local beach, West Island, and bike way into historic Fairhaven. Great communication with caring owner. Would highly Recommend. S.B. Roswell, Ga.

Cute cozy cottage near the beach with everything you need to get away. Owner was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. We really enjoyed the beach access, deck and yard. We were able to enjoy a fire on the beach and watch amazing fireworks across the bay for the 4th of July weekend. It was a crazy week for weather when we were there. It was a little chilly when we arrived and the cottage was perfect but as it got really hot and humid by the end the week, it got a little warm in the cottage, especially in the bedrooms during the evening. It was the perfect location for day trips to the Cape and Boston.

Such a cute place, was comfortable for 3 adults, lovely beachy decor and comfy beds, and especially enjoyed the outdoor patio and grill. Some of the glassware was quite dusty, but after a quick clean, we were good to go. Everything else clean. The beach was RIGHT down the lane, which was neat, although not super swim friendly, more good for a nice evening stroll. Thanks for the lovely stay!

It was a very cute and quaint cottage that was very clean. It was a great weekend getaway and we give it overall 5 stars.

Oasis by the sea
I had a wonderful visit at Family Tides in late August. The cottage is adorable, tastefully decorated with comfortable beds and furniture and the all-important good shower. Ah, and the OUTDOOR shower is heaven!!
I spent tons of time on the lovely back deck with its sneak-peek of the ocean, reading and visiting with day-trip friends. I went down to the beach (a 2-minute walk at most) at all different times, and never found it crowded. I explored the area a bit, biking on the Phoenix Bike Trail and walking the Shaw Farm Trail, wandering around Fairhaven center with its beautiful architecture. There's plenty to do -- I kept discovering things every day and ran out of time. I hope to be back next year.
Communication with the owner prior to and during my stay could not have been easier and more pleasant. Thank you!
