About this property

Oceanfront on Buzzards Bay

Charming and newly remodeled two bedroom cottage located right on Buzzards Bay. Enjoy brand new three season porch overlooking the bay with large second story viewing deck and pergola featuring magnificent ocean views. Adjacent to boat launch area and beach so great for swimming and boating. Wake up in the master bedroom in queen-size bed overlooking Buzzards Bay. Please note that the cottage rental period is Saturday - Saturday. For information on multi week prices please contact owners shown to the right.

This lovely coastal town is rich with history and is across the harbor from the famed seaport of New Bedford. It also boasts some of the most beautiful public buildings in New England and the restoration of one of it's historic homes was recently featured on HGTV.

The state beach on Buzzards Bay, the more private West Island Beach, and the three and a half mile Phoenix Bike Trail are all a bike ride away from the cottage. Also within biking distance, you will find the quaint downtown area bustling with restaurants, unique shops, historical tours, festivals, and more.

Heaven on earth!
This cottage is cute as a button. Perfect for a couple with 2 kids looking to relax. It is small, and that is what we loved about it. It is simply perfect! It had all we needed and then some. The kitchen is tiny but I had everything I needed to cook a killer chicken piccata and my home made pizza. The piece the resistance was the deck. Witnessed beautiful sunrises and great breezes up there. Suzanne was a very responsive host. I really really hope to be able to come back here. Thank you Suzanne and Steven for sharing this slice of heaven!

Another great stay by the sea
Second stay here and we enjoyed it again. It's quite compact but enough space to relax, cook and even entertain some guests on the roof deck. Recommended.

Tiny gem
Can’t beat the location. Lovely views. Perfect small town beach right out the door. Property is small, but as depicted in the listing. Great location to head to the Cape if you want. Plenty to do in the New Bedford and Fairhaven areas.

Great waterside location
It's a compact place, but with all the basics covered, and plenty of living space including a great deck area. Amazing view, and the entertainment of folks launching and retreiving their boats. 5 mins drive from multiple stores up in Fairhaven and 10minutes to the restaurants and bars of New Bedford. It's a great base to explore the whole south coast and I've already booked another two weeks here.

About the host

Hosted by Suzanne Foxwell

Host profile image
We had talked about buying a piece of property by the water for quite some time and had looked at a few pieces but never really connected with anything. We came to Fairhaven one day to pick something up at West Marine, saw an open house sign and decided to take a look. When we saw the cottage it was structurally sound but did not have any curb appeal. Suzanne immediately saw the potential to make the cottage a very cozy get away spot so an offer was made and accepted and within a couple of months the initial transformation was completed. We put all of the fencing around the property and then Suzanne planted the rose pushes that climb the front fence and planted a flower garden behind the fence. We added a porch on the east end of the property when we first purchased and then in 2010 we decided to remove the outdoor porch and replaced it with a three season room with a large deck above.

Why they chose this property

We like the Fairhaven area because of the ease of getting to places like Newport RI, Plymouth Ma and Cape Cod without living with the crowds that are associated with these areas

What makes this property unique

We like to drive to the bike trail and walk the mile and 1/2 to the center of Fairhaven for breakfast. There are many great restaurants in the South Coast area that we also enjoy. With Buzzards Bay right outside the door, kayaking, sailing, wind surfing and other water activities are enjoyed throughout the summer.
