About this property

Inhale the salty air, sink your toes in the sand of a secluded beach and escape to a simpler time at this seaside cottage retreat in Fairhaven, MA. This cottage is newly renovated with brand new furnishings.

Enjoy your morning coffee on the back deck with a peek-a-boo view of Buzzard’s Bay.
Later, travel down a sea grass path to soak in spectacular sunsets on a beach just footsteps from your front door.

Nestled at the end of a quiet street, this cozy three bedroom cozy cottage is the perfect location for a day trip to Boston, Cape Cod and the Islands (Fast Ferry Service to Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket is 5 miles away).

Built in 1940, the seaside cottage has the charm of the past with modern day amenities that will make you feel right at home.

Take a walk to nearby neighborhood restaurants or ride bikes to the Mattapoisett Rail Trail Greenway (entrance just one block from the cottage). The path runs along the shore of Buzzards Bay, through the historic small town of Mattapoisett.

End the day by grilling out or taking in the sunset on the beach. When the day is done, the cool sea breeze and the sound of crashing waves will lull you into a state of pure relaxation, and prepare you for another day of seaside bliss tomorrow.

Charming Seaside Cottage

We had a great stay! The cottage was very comfortable for my family, (5 adults). It was clean and well stocked with everything you could want at the beach. Sloane was very responsive and wanted to be sure we had a great vacation. We would happily stay again!

Perfect spot for a bayside family getaway

The house was perfect for our family of 5 (one teenager, two young children). The bayside beach is a 2 minute walk out the front door, and the calm waters are perfect for swimmers, sun bathers, and shell collectors. New Bedford is a 10-minute drive away, and many Cape Cod attractions are about an hour.

Coastal Cottage Charm

Quaint off the pages of Coastal Living, cottage close to beaches. Tiny house charm with places for peaceful living. Sloane was the ultimate host with plenty of wonderful suggestions on places to go and restaurants to eat. Thank you.

Great stay!

We had a great time here, excellent access to the beach, really enjoyed having beach chairs, towels, and some surprise bathroom toiletries available to use. We got there on a super hot and humid day so it was a little uncomfortable to unpack, but the little a/c did a good job when the weather broke at keeping it comfortable in the house. Sloane was very communicative and a pleasure to work with.

Wow!

This place is a diamond in the rough. You will love your stay here and the proximity to the beach. Sloan has thought of everything that you might need and it is at the cottage. Communication was wonderful. And the description of the cottage was accurate. There is one wall AC unit so if you are coming in the middle of the summer make sure to know that you’re going to be hot. However that is stated in the description.

About the host

Hosted by sloane parent

We grew up in Massachusetts and it will always be "home", even though we live in NC now. We purchased this property so that we could have a cozy, comfortable place to stay when we visit family. We hope you will enjoy it too.

Why they chose this property

Good things come in small packages. This cozy cottage was built in 1940. We fell in love with it because of its charm and proximity to the beach. You are just footsteps away from the most spectacular sunsets!
