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!

Wonderful stay for Thanksgiving
We had a great time at this beautiful property over the Thanksgiving holiday. The pictures are spot on - it is a spacious, very well appointed and very comfortable home. The views, especially at sunset, are incredible. We were a family of 5 people - 3 generations- and we all had ample space. Communication with the owner was very easy and he was very responsive. We hope to come back again in the summer when we can take advantage of the beautiful balconey!

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!

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 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!

My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay in this home. The house was immaculate and was stocked with just about anything you could need. The views of the bay were amazing and the sunsets were absolutely stunning. Bill was a wonderful host and gave us great recommendations for restaurants and things to do in the area.

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

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.

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.

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.

A TOP NOTCH PLACE!
This Fairhaven property is definitely an ideal place for a weekend retreat any time of the year or for a summer vacation. Our family spent an anniversary weekend there in April of this year and it was a blast for everyone! The house is extremely well stocked with everything to meet your needs. The layout of the house is very functional and the coordination with Bill & Amy was a real pleasure. They really made everything they could to make sure that our weekend was a pleasant one. Definitely a place to put on your list of destinations. Do not hesitate

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!
