Perfect bay side Beach cottage right on the beach


. Please see our virtual tour video This charming 1 .5 bedroom cottage is an all-in-one vacation package. The cottage is located in one of New England's hidden seaside gems. The property is tucked away on a picturesque gravel road on a private cul-de-sac. The cottage features an open floorplan, fully applianced and well-stocked kitchen. The extra-large patio offers a gas grill, completely charged, cleaned, and ready to go. Additionally, there is an outdoor patio set with plenty of room left for sunbathing or just watching the fishing boats go by in the distance. Bring your own kayaks or rent them locally. Cast a fishing line right off the patio! The cottage is air-conditioned and offers 2 full-size beds and 1 single bed in a cozy sleeping alcove off the living area. The living area also offers a futon couch.
Just a short walk along the beach brings you to Fort Phoenix, a national historic landmark. Fort Phoenix features an additional beach and a large children's playground and picnic area. A great opportunity for a romantic sunset stroll or a place to wear out the kids.
The bay is fed by warm Gulfstream currents, so the water is always comfortable in season. Great for a refreshing afternoon swim. The calm waters of the bay offer an easy opportunity for water sports of any kind and a safe place for the kids.

Explore historic Fairhaven, offering free walking tours and miles of coastal nature preserves and bike trails. Discover some of the hidden coastal communities along the rt 6 corridor for an authentic New England experience. Fairhaven is located just a short 25 minute drive from Cape Cod, 1hour from Boston, and just 45 minutes to Providence RI with easy highway access.

Just over the bridge is the historic City of New Bedford rich in tradition and local culture. Head over to the Port Authority and hop a the "fast Ferry" to Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket Island for an adventurous day trip. Walk the harbor and marvel at one of the largest fishing boat fleets in the world. Take advantage of the freshest and most affordable seafood on the east coast. Our seafood markets offer "right off the boat" choices.
New Bedford's blossoming Down Town is experiencing a cultural renaissance. Check out some of the art galleries, holistic spas, and specialty shops. New Bedford has a growing and nationally recognized artist community.

This cottage offers the ideal opportunity for a romantic "off the Grid" getaway or an intimate gathering with some great friends and family. Have a boat? No problem. The cottage also comes with a boat mooring at no additional cost, just 25 feet offshore. We have a property management team at the ready, to ensure a seamless vacation experience. Come and enjoy a Cape Cod-like vacation without all the congestion and expense.

It’s a cottage
The location was absolutely stunning right on the water. Close to everything and anything you can think of. I believe that we were the first ones for the season the house wasn’t as clean as we expected so we cleaned. But the property manager was very kind and communicative. I would stay again. But remember it’s a cottage. The only other thing is it needs some throw rugs in the bedroom just because the floor is a little cold on your feet. And some dish towels would be helpful also

7 nite stay at this cottage. Location is awesome. Cottage is, a cottage. Patio is right on the water and large. Maintenance of the property needs improvement. Weeds in concrete patio in every crack. 20 min. Job would be huge improvement. More time spent on patio, so that space needs work.

Very Nice Stay
Property was great,loved being so close to the water. The cottage is really cute and comfortable. plenty of outdoor seating. One suggestion entrance could use a grab rail outside and a rail inside for individuals with mobility issues due to step ups.

Upon entering there was a musty smell and the cottage appeared to not have been cleaned as there was dirt and sand on the floors and the linnens were also musty smelling, airing out the house was necessary but not all the windows had screens , the toilet seat was not fastened to the toilet and i had to tighten the seat nuts before it could be used , there were damp rid buckets and moisture soaking pellets under the furniture and some were leaking fluids which had to be cleaned up a few times during our stay , the property was conveniently located on the beach and the neighbors were very hospitable which was what made the issues inside bearable , all in all I think the property location was great but some attention to the cleanliness is needed , my experience rating 6/10

Wonderful location
Location is wonderful for a summer visit, but a few items fell short to make the place perfect. The most difficult was not having any access to water on the outside of the property. As most of your time is spent enjoying the beach, it was really difficult keeping your feet clean as you came in and out of the house. With that being said, I still found it to be a wonderful stay for our family.

Cute little cabin in a quiet neighborhood on a nice beach
It's a cute little cabin in a quiet neighborhood on a nice beach. We enjoyed the sun and the water very much. I kayaked several days. Most of the amenities were as stated and Dave was very nice. Beds were comfortable enough and clean sheets and towels. Kitchen was fine. They put out coffee pods for our use which was kind. Doesn't really have cable TV like I have ever seen, so you don't have access to many normal channels if you want to watch any network shows. You can access some streaming through it though, if you have accounts. We brought our own fire stick. The issue we had was that there are no comfortable chairs to sit on inside. We both have back issues, so that was rough. The seating outside is great, but inside are hard chairs and a worn-out futon. Kitchen table is bar height with small chairs, and we didn't feel comfortable sitting there to eat or play cards, etc... We almost brought the outside chairs in, but they are a bit big to fit and we thought they might scratch the nice floors. We ended up watching TV from the beds in the evenings and rainy days. Overall, it was fine, but a little too expensive for the comfort level. I have paid much less for much more. Dave did give us some money off due to the road work without us even asking. Which was really nice, but still cost twice as much as our last beachfront rental in Fairhaven. I rented it anyway as it was the last beachfront rental left in town when I booked. Probably better for younger, skinnier people with good backs. :)
