Incredibly beautiful wall of glass including two sliding doors connecting to an oversized deck. The whole front of the cottage sparkled with the reflection of the Bay.

A great spot to rest and relax. proximity to water can't be beat, watching sunrises and sunsets was perfect. My 78 yr old mother found it a teeny bit rough around the edges but she still loved our stay. Anf it's a beach cottage. Overall a fabulous vacation!

Absolutely the most relaxing stay! The deck here is fantastic, it is actually bigger than it looks in the pictures, right on the water. Watch the tide come in and go out right under your feet.
Sunrise and full moon right across the bay.

This is our 2nd visit to this property and we love it. We walked on the beach down to Fort Phoenix. The house was really clean and had everything we needed. We appreciated the small portable electric heaters in the living room and each of the bedrooms in addition to the gas floor heater in the kitchen. Dave is always such a pleasure.

This property and location are fantastic and David went out of his way to accommodate us. The only downside is that the double bed was unfortunately really uncomfortable and my boyfriend and I ended up sleeping in the twin beds because it was unbearable. Otherwise this was a lovely vacation getaway!

We really enjoyed our 4 night stay at this property. The listing description is very accurate as are the photos. Just keep in mind that this is a true beachfront cottage not some pristine gem that just fell off the pages of Architectural Digest. There are a few nicks and dings and a few grains of sand that escaped the vacuum cleaner but honestly that should be expected. It certainly didn't bother us in the least. My only complaint is that there are seven (yes seven) speakers mounted on the walls of the living space. Two of them are mounted at only about 6'-1" off the floor. I'm about 6'-4" and managed to clobber both of them with my head. To add insult to injury the speakers do not appear to be connected to anything. Dear owner, please remove these hazards before someone gets hurt. Other than that we would highly recommend this property.

My wife and I just love it here! Not only is this cottage perfectly located right on the beach with just about every amenity possible, Dave the property manager is the best. He very attentive and keeps the cottage clean and inviting. We are heading back in September for our 3rd visit this year!! This place makes you feel like you’re on an island far from home :)

The property is oceanfront, huge deck and views that never end. The property is spotless and not far from restaurants and stores. Quiet neighborhood. I didn't give it a 5 only because there are a few little things that were annoying, but could be easily remedied. There is a Keurig coffee machine but no mugs big enough to use without overflowing. Had we known that, we would have easily brought our own. No tea kettle so we used a saucepan. The hot water took a few minutes to get hot enough to shower, but it does eventually get hot. There is a TV but it's not standard cable so we couldn't even find Boston news, never mind regular channels. Simple directions would solve that. We have used Vrbo many times and wonder why some owners don't by some decent furniture . This house is small and has older, unmatched and not very comfy furniture. We were there in both cool and hot weather. We were relieved that there are 3 air conditioners, but when it is cool out, that leaves only 1 window in each room to use.
That said, you cannot beat the location and beach in front of you! The property manager is great and very responsive. The owner should put some money into some updates, but it definitely an unbelievable location!

This was the perfect get away for our family of 5. We haven't gone anywhere in the last year due to Covid-19 and this was our first outing. The cottage was clean, the linens fresh, and extra cleaning supplies were left for us to use.
We couldn't find the linens for the pullout couch, David responded to our text immediately and brought us clean linens and extra towels within a half hour.
The location was great, walking distance to Fort Phoenix, to the Library, wonderful neighborhoods to meander in, and a great coffee shop, The Nook.
This cottage had everything we needed and was a wonderful get away. We will definitely be coming back.

fantastic property, location and property manager
Loved the location - on the water, short walk over to Fort Phoenix and nice neighborhood for walks. We enjoyed playing on the beach and collecting shells. The house was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The property manager was wonderful. He responded immediately when there was an issue with the heater and brought over an extra space heater for us until the repair could be completed. We were in town visiting family we couldn't stay with due to COVID but if we ever need a place to stay in Fairhaven again, this will definitely be the place.

I we had a perfect three day break in this ocean front cottage. Nice big deck. The place had everything we needed. Easy walk along the beach to Fort Phoenix. Interesting town and close to New Bedford. A hidden gem.

My husband and I stayed here for a short getaway to celebrate our anniversary. It’s a great, quiet location right on the ocean. Check-in was smooth, and communication with the property manager, Dave, was great. Shortly after checking in, we discovered our grill propane was empty, so we called and Dave came over and had it exchanged for us with within 20-30 minutes. The cottage is small, but clean and has great views all around. The beach is mostly shells with some sand, so just something to be aware of. There is also another property directly next door and the patio kind of overlooks theirs as well as shares a walkway to the beach, so there is not total privacy. I could imagine this may be frustrating if you’re looking for a quiet, private trip, depending on who you end up with next door. However, there is still plenty of room to spread out on the beach, and the ocean waves help with drowning out some of the noise or conversation going on right next door. We spent most of our trip enjoying the views from the patio, which has comfy chairs and is very spacious. We would definitely rent here again.
