Great property and location

Excellent for three couples and room for some kids in one of the bedrooms.Weather wet and foggy for part of our stay but had fun anyway, and really delightful on the nicer days.Excellent recommendations from host- especially the recommendation for Bocca restaurant.Interesting factoid- Joshua Slocum made the first single handed sailing voyage around the world, starting from Fairhaven. The place he rebuilt his boat for the trip is marked in a park. Read his book!

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!

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.

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 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!

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

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.

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!

Beautiful Beach Home

If you’re looking for a weekend away in a beautiful home with an excellent host look no further! Bill was so easy to communicate with from the moment I booked his listing. Offering local restaurant recommendations and activities to do in the area. My family and I go away for a weekend each year in lieu of exchanging Christmas gifts and Bill’s home offered the perfect space for a weekend away to relax and enjoy everyone’s company. The table was big enough for all 8 of us and the living room was perfect for early morning coffee by the fire as well as late night games. The home is spacious and well kept with a well stocked kitchen! Thank you for a wonderful stay Bill, we hope to be back 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.

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
