This oceanfront home is a few minutes from charming towns, such as Mattapoisett, Fairhaven, New Bedford, world-class restaurants and the ferry to Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.

Beautiful property!
Three couples over 70 on a getaway. The house is spacious, comfortable, and spotless! We had incredible weather for late October so we enjoyed the deck and the nearby town beach. We ate at Bayside, Bocco and Mike’s - all excellent!

Great house and location
The house was perfect for our family and children. The outdoor space is amazing and there was plenty for the kids (kayaks, ping pong, chairs, toys, games, etc). The house was clean and had everything we needed - the kitchen was stocked with every pot/pan/utensil and there were plenty of towels and toiletries. Location is great and Bill was very responsive.

Nice jumping off spot
Nice water location but also a great jumping off spot for road trips. We went to Ogunquit ME, Mystic CT and shorter ones like Newport RI. Good communication with owner and he took care of us when an unexpected water main issue came up out of his control. Recommended!

Magical House by the Sea
My family rented this house over the Christmas holiday to be near our relatives in the area. So much about this house exceeded our expectations - well stocked kitchen with lots of plates, silverware and pots/pans; comfortable, quality furniture throughout the house; well cleaned and maintained; large, easy driveway and a responsive, thoughtful host. And the views!!! So beautiful and peaceful. This group has rented a lot of houses together but we think this might just be our favorite.

Wonderful Stay!
Our family stayed at this home while in town for the Army vs. Navy game in December. The house was clean, warm and very welcoming. Communication from the owner was excellent as were his restaurant recommendations. We enjoyed the house and area so much we are considering a summer get-a-way there in the future to enjoy the outside patio and beach more. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Great stay...Beautiful views!
My wife and I stayed here off-season for 2 nights for her birthday weekend. The house was tastefully appointed and had an amazing kitchen. The bedrooms were generously sized, as were all the bathrooms. We had a lovely welcome card waiting for us, and the hosts were communicative through the entire process – even giving great recommendations for places to eat. The fireplaces were a lovely touch and added warmth and ambiance to our stay. One of the best surprises was the ping pong table in the garage! As avid players, we took advantage of it and had the best time. The sunsets were stellar and the views were incredible. If you love the water like we do, don't hesitate to book this gorgeous house! Fun fact: my wife wrote this entire review, but I enjoyed the trip as well!

Beautiful home and location
My husband and I booked this property off-season and really enjoyed our stay. The views are awesome and the house has everything and more you could be looking for to cook or entertain. There are so many thoughtful additions including almost everything you could imagine for the kitchen, as well as blankets in most rooms to snuggle up with and speakers both inside and outside the house to enjoy some tunes while sitting on the amazing wrap-around deck. We stayed in the master suite which had a comfy bed and I enjoyed the sitting area in that room to look out at the water. We had lots of great food options close by and Doordash delivers there if that is your thing. We took advantage of the nice weather and took a walk to Off the Hook Bar & Grill on the bridge to the island and really enjoyed a cocktail and the company. We would love to spend some time here again.

Lovely waterfront home
Extended family really enjoyed our stay. House was very clean and kitchen well stocked. Bill was a super responsive host. Highlights included sitting on the expansive deck with views of the water, being able to launch kayaks right from the house to explore coastline and estuaries, walking around the island and to the beach.

Fabulous House and Wonderful Views
My family, which included a 97 year old, loved this house and its surroundings. The roominess made it easy for her to get around with her walker. The views from the deck with great seating were nothing but spectacular. The house was immaculate with up-to-date appliances and the kitchen had everything we needed so we could eat in on a regular basis. Big refrigerator was greatly appreciated! The private beach as well as the town beach (beach pass was provided) on the island were both great--a novelty to walk out 30 feet from shore at low tide! The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet but shopping is close by, with very little traffic. The owner was easily in touch by text, and answered all of our questions in a timely fashion. He went the extra mile when I needed more information about how close the bathroom was to the first floor bedroom-very responsive and I very much appreciated it. Thank you for a great stay, Bill and Amy!

Sunset house
The location and view couldn’t be better. The house is elegant, comfortable and well-equipped. The owner was extremely responsible and helpful when the water to the neighborhood was shut off for water main repairs. He immediately arranged for bottled water to be delivered right to the front door. We had a wonderful week.

Abundant Amenities!
This house hands down is the best rental we have stayed in for the past 20 years . We came as a multigenerational family of 8 and there was plenty of room to accommodate everyone . The house was IMMACULATE when we arrived and we even were left a bottle of wine with a welcome note from the owners. The property was gorgeous and comfortable . Bill and Amy had every kitchen gadget, spices , kayaks , beach gear, and linens that you could think of. The view was amazing and the private beach was nice to sit on and watch the boats and looks for shells. I highly recommend this property .Bill was great answering any questions we had as well. 10/10 !!

Great Island Retreat
My family and I had a wonderful island retreat. The house was more than we could have asked for and the location and views were stunning. We had a great time cooking and dining in the deck taking in the views. The kids loved playing in the backyard and on the private beach access. The beach in the other side of the island was a fun time too. We would definitely visit again!

Beautiful location and home
My family stayed here for a weekend and loved it! Right on the ocean with a private beach, and a public beach a mile away. Bill was kind enough to let us use his beach chairs and kayak, which we took full advantage of. With multiple bathrooms and bedrooms, this is a perfect place for a getaway weekend with your family or friends! We hope to stay again
