'Little Neck' ~ Where The Slocum River Meets Buzzards Bay ~ 7 Acres!

'Little Neck' is situated on 7 acres of pristine preserve with arguably the most spectacular view of Buzzards Bay looking down the Slocum River. Ospreys, striped bass, sailing, kayaking, swimming, bird watching - a rare piece of Heaven on the South Coast of Massachusetts.

Our spacious New England summer home (now winterized) invites you to sit on the large porch with the above spectacular view, or in the lovely sunroom with picture window views of the river and the bay, binoculars included!

The privacy and comfort of the four en suite bedrooms provides an enjoyable stay for a group of family and friends. The dining room table with its water view seats ten for an easy and delicious dinner of corn-on-the-cob and fresh fish prepared on the large gas grill on the east terrace.

The evening can be spent exploring the large library in the living room, stocked with novels, field guides, TV, movies, and games.

The rental property is the spacious and prominent upper two floors of a large, three-story hillside house; the main rental entry is on ground level. The lower floor apartment, situated below the hill, is occupied by one of the sisters with separate entry and rear parking area. Renters have complete privacy and the lay of the land allows both units to co-exist wonderfully.

Nearby activities include:
-Breakfast, lunch at Davoll's Store & Cafe 5 minutes away,
- swim & fish from our pier, or across the river at the Demarest Lloyd State Park
- rent kayaks to cruise the river
- moor your small sail boat or motor boat on our pier.
- hike on the Lloyd Center for the Environment trails nearby.
- explore historic New Bedford and its Whaling Museum
- shop in the picturesque villages of Westport and Padanaram
- enjoy the art scene this summer in Providence, RI: Waterfire Providence
- tour the mansions in Newport, RI
- sample wine & beer at Westport Winery & Buzzards Bay Brewing
- take the one-hour ferry service to Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket
- enjoy a day trip to Cape Cod
- - attend live theatre and music at the Zeiterion Theatre in New Bedford
- hike on the many trails of the Dartmouth Natural Resources Trust land.

Our guests say:
“ My dad calls the view of the Slocum from the porch 'the lagoon of tranquility' and gazing upon it always has a calming effect…. Thanks to the sisters for keeping LN going and sharing this magical place with us!”

“Thank you for sharing your most beautiful place …we hiked, we biked, kayaked and enjoyed swimming daily and catching up with each other – we loved the privacy and serenity of this very magical place; we leave relaxed and refreshed! Thanks for the home-baked cookies upon arrival and all your generosity. We’d love to return someday. Many, many thanks!”

Little Neck is a very special place. My wife and I spent a wonderful week there with our two young children eating meals on the porch, messing around in the river, exploring nearby walking trails, and traveling to local beaches. We Hope to be back again soon!

Wonderful spot for a family gatherijng
This was the most beautiful place for a family gathering with our future in-laws. We brought our kayaks and enjoyed paddling the Slocum River. Also, many beautiful hikes around the adjoining Lloyd Center area. The house reeks of family connection and it was infectious!

Perfect in every way
The South Shore of Massachusetts is a great place to visit - so many interesting places to hike and kayak and shop and eat and explore....And then to be able to go back to Little Neck and sit on the porch that looks over the mouth of the Slocum River out to Buzzards Bay and the Elizabeth Islands. I can't imagine any place nicer than that!

Idyllic Setting
Little Neck is a serene vacation spot, surrounded on two sides by water and the other two by woods. We loved sitting in the living room or on the front patio looking out at the scenery. We will be back for sure.

Absolutely breath taking location
Just came back from a week at Little Neck with the kids and dog. What a spot! We brought our boat and tied right up to the dock which was a huge plus. We explored the Slocum River and Buzzards Bay all week. I had an issue with the boat and the owners put me in touch with a marina to help with the problem. If you love the ocean, this spot is for you.

A very special Gathering Place
Gathering in this classic "summer" home over Thanksgiving week would have been perfect during any Thanksgiving, and it was especially perfect to gather here with our family during Covid. The light, the sunrises, the sunsets, moon rises, the moon sets, the water, the river wildlife and the comfort of this very special home were very hard to say good-bye to. We are thankful the wonderful owners are willing to share their home with us.

Blissful weekend
This house could not have a better situation, in terms of privacy, view, access to water and a killer porch that sucked us in for many an hour. The four bedrooms, each with their own bath is great, as is the big dinner table. The house itself is wonderful, with many of the owners' treasures, lots of inspiring books, binoculars and good olive oil. The owner met us and was there if we needed anything, but we didn't. Best weekend, best place, I can't wait to go back!

Nice location, Plenty of room
Had a nicet time at the house. It is an old house that has had very few updates. More like a museum than a rental accommodation. The kitchen was very old and could use a big update and a good cleaning Appliances, pots and pans, microwave, outdoor grill, coffee maker have seen better days The owners were responsive to my requests.

A beautiful location, very comfortable home!
Recently our family gathered in South Dartmouth for the wedding of our son. We chose Little Neck because of the beautiful location, room for extra family & friends and so that we could bring along our dog. The entire week was rainy and cool, but we could still enjoy the beauty of nature all around us; the deer; waterfowl; watching rowers and fishing boats; Buzzards Bay and Cuttyhunk in the distance. The home had everything we needed: linens, towels, cooking utensils etc. The family photos and other memorabilia added to the warmth and welcome. An additional bonus for us was that the owner looked in on our dog while we were at the wedding festivities. A very wet week at Little Neck was actually a most "sunny" week for our family. We would love to visit again.

Awesome stay at Little Neck
We had a fantastic time at Little Neck. The cottage exceeded our expectations. It was huge, immaculate, had a very well stocked kitchen and met all of our needs. The decor and family pictures gave the cottage a very homey, charming feeling, as if we had been invited to a friend's home for a bit of a summer's respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The homemade cookies which greeted us were a welcoming and thoughtful touch. We loved sitting on the porch, enjoying the solitude and peacefulness of the area along with all the wildlife that was present. The views of the river/bay from inside the cottage were spectacular. It seemed as if we were far removed from civilization, even though restaurants and grocery stores were an easy 15-20 min drive away. Simply put, Little Neck was a peace of heaven on earth, and we considered ourselves very fortunate to have found such a place for our stay in June 2021!

A remarkable spot for a vacation
Our large family stayed at Little Neck for a week. Situated on a bluff overlooking the mouth of the Slocum River with its very own dock, the house offered us more than we could have asked for. The house had plenty of sleeping space and privacy for everyone - so nice to have so many bathrooms! We appreciated the "homeyness" of the decor - lots of family photos and much-read books - as it is clear that the house enjoyed many years of being inhabited by people who loved it. The kitchen is very small but has what you need to cook for lots of people. The children loved playing on the dock, catching crabs and jumping into the water. We rented kayaks which enabled us to cross to a sandy beach on the Bay. We also loved being in the middle of a nature preserve with plenty of trails and an informative nature center. Little Neck is close enough to grocery stores and restaurants but entirely in its own world. Charlotte took care of the occasional, insignificant glitches. Her cookies are delicious! We can't recommend Little Neck highly enough.
