Quaint and Cozy Cottage Stay

This was the best cottage with everything we needed. So close to the boat ramp and beach with excellent views. The cottage was clean and quaint with plenty of space for two. Backed up onto a preserve-like backyard, this gave us privacy when we were enjoying the patio space. Super inviting and host was easy to communicate with. Loved it and would stay again. :)

Small Oasis

We rented the cottage for 3 nights. Clean but very small. We came from a wonderful home in Plymouth that had everything u could want. There was no toaster or coffee maker or dishwasher n in general we were not fond of Fairhaven. There was an excellent mexican restaurant Fronteras not far from the cottage. All n all cottage was clean, rooms were sectioned off n bathroom was separate. A good price for the area.

Hi we’re glad that you enjoyed our very clean cottage We are sorry that you found it small but all the amenities and size is in the ad. I hope letting you stay longer on your checkout day made your trip more lovely It is a perfect cozy beach cottage with outdoor seating and plenty of chairs to lounge in . Sometimes coming from a bigger more expensive home might make it feel not as airy. I hope you got to enjoy the extra three season room that we are building on the property Happy anniversary to the both of you It was our pleasure to host you!! Mike and Joan

By the Seashore

We were delighted to get there from Vermont. Our weather was not great, but we kayaked, biked, enjoyed the historical sights, the Whaling Museum a lot and Rick swam. Had sensational food at Ricarrdi's. We would not recommend the Bait and Hook out by the west beach at all = Very Disappointing. As for your accomodations we both fit in well. We would suggest that perhaps you take some of the items off of the book case so there is more room for our odds and ends. In the batheroom perhaps some of the space on the little shelves to the left of the toilet might be freed up for a few of you guests things. Also maybe move the conch shell on teh back of the toilet so there is room there. Not much space for toiletries. Also, a towel rack in the bathroom or somewhere would be helpful. Our weather was not clear enough to put our towels outside. We loved the outdoor shower.We have one too and that was ideal. And you had so many things for us to use that were so useful in case we forgot. I loved the space in the next door house. That was my favorite. In your ad it looks like that is the house you are renting. We did not know there would be two "houses". Thank you for your generosity. We may come again. We enjoyed the neighborhood. Everyone was very friendly. It was too chilly for the beach, but so convenient. We had a very nice time. Again our thanks. Jody and Rick

This cottage location is quiet and a short walk to a picturesque small beach and colorful boat and kayak dock.The grounds for the cottage are garden-like and so welcoming.The inside is a happy place with well placed paintings and beach decor. The kitchen was well stocked and even had bird seed for outside.I appreciated tissue boxes and toilet paper as every other place I stayed did not have either. I was sad to have to go!
