Our family stayed here for a week, and we really enjoyed the place! It’s well maintained (the main floor seems recently renovated), well equipped (dishwasher, laundry, etc.), and centrally located to just about all the places you’d want to visit (1hour to Cape Cope, and 45 minutes to Providence or Newport). I would highly recommend this cottage for small families, or even couples, looking to vacation in Massachusetts.

Wonderful stay,everything was as stated. Stairs were a bit of a challenge, but younger ones stayed up there and I had the porch.

Nicely decorated home, beautiful views of the ocean and short walk to beach. Steep stairs not ideal.

What a great little beach cottage, in a fantastic location. It is a beautiful area central to so many things to see. Nothing like the sound of waves and a ocean breeze to fall asleep to. Wonderful neighbors too.

The property was the best equipped we have stayed at over five years in the area. There was plenty of room for the whole family both inside and outside the house. The stairs were not an issue during our stay but you will have to duck going up and down.

The hosts made us feel very welcome by having a well-equipped house and kitchen (we like to cook) and by providing good written instructions on where to find things in the house. We even lucked out and received from the neighbour a few dozens clams freshly harvested that day which we steamed and had a great feast! We also enjoyed cycling from the house to a public Beach ( approx. 10K round trip) at the end of the neck, a small town/area called West Island. You can access the island by car, by boat or bicycle. While in Fairhaven, we also visited the Whaling Museum in New Bedford. It is approximately a 15 minutes drive. We were very much impressed by the quality of the exhibits and the story the museum tells. It is a must if you stay in the area of Fairhaven/New Bedford. We did a few day trips – Cape Cod, Newport Vineyards, Fort – but really enjoyed coming back to the Hive to enjoy the premises and take advantage of the relaxing slow pace.

Paula is a lovely host, very responsive and courteous. We have booked several dates here from now into next year. Highly recommend booking this cottage. The cottage is kept clean and has everything you will need to feel like you are at home. The views of Cape Cod are wonderful day and night.

The property was easy to find and conveniently located for the purposes of our visit to the area. We arrived to find the property cleaned and well organized with sufficient utensils etc. The fresh decoration was appealing. However, for our needs, we made a poor choice given the layout and difficult to navigate stairwell. The challenges were such that overall our visit was unpleasant and we regretted our choice soon after arrival. My wife has Parkinson's disease and although she is able to use stairs in out residence, the rise on the portion of the staircase not visible in any interior photographs of the property was sufficiently greater than at our home such that it was very difficult and excessively challenging for her to use. In addition, the stairwell warning to "duck", although perhaps cute in a quirky older home, was the first indication that a person of average height might want to exercise caution, especially in darkness, when moving up or down the stairs. I have to wonder if the local building codes permit such a substantial stair rise and such minimal head clearance. It strikes me as dangerous and particularly if illness or injury required professional assistance to carry someone out of a second floor bedroom. The VRBO descriptions of the property offer no disclosures regarding the stairs or stairwell and didn't otherwise suggest that persons with mobility challenges might not be appropriate tenants/occupants. We cut our visit short by several days. I contacted the owner to advise her of our decision to vacate before our scheduled contract date but did not inform her of the specific difficulties we were having. We certainly recognize our responsibility to make wise choices given my wife's health challenges but frankly it never occurred to us that second floor access could be so difficult; that the stair rise would be appropriate for giants and the stairwell designed for little people.

We had a wonderful time. The house is charming and has everything we could want and more! Paula was very responsive and the property is as described. I enjoyed my cup of tea in the morning on the balcony and reading in the she-shed. We were also able to launch our jet ski at the boat ramp and enjoyed all the indoor and outdoor space.

My son graduated from HS and we had family come from Kansas. I needed a place for 2 adults and 2 kids under the age of 15 to stay with enough room to stretch out! The Beach hive was perfect. Close to my home, the beach, local attractions (although we didn’t have much time to check them out on this visit), stores for grocery / supply runs and easy enough for them to get to after the long drive from Kansas. Everything was as described. We all enjoyed our stay at the beach hive!!
