About this property

'Little Neck' ~ Where The Slocum River Meets Buzzards Bay ~ 7 Acres!

'Little Neck' is situated on 7 acres of pristine preserve with arguably the most spectacular view of Buzzards Bay looking down the Slocum River. Ospreys, striped bass, sailing, kayaking, swimming, bird watching - a rare piece of Heaven on the South Coast of Massachusetts.

Our spacious New England summer home (now winterized) invites you to sit on the large porch with the above spectacular view, or in the lovely sunroom with picture window views of the river and the bay, binoculars included!

The privacy and comfort of the four en suite bedrooms provides an enjoyable stay for a group of family and friends. The dining room table with its water view seats ten for an easy and delicious dinner of corn-on-the-cob and fresh fish prepared on the large gas grill on the east terrace.

The evening can be spent exploring the large library in the living room, stocked with novels, field guides, TV, movies, and games.

The rental property is the spacious and prominent upper two floors of a large, three-story hillside house; the main rental entry is on ground level. The lower floor apartment, situated below the hill, is occupied by one of the sisters with separate entry and rear parking area. Renters have complete privacy and the lay of the land allows both units to co-exist wonderfully.

Nearby activities include:
-Breakfast, lunch at Davoll's Store & Cafe 5 minutes away,
- swim & fish from our pier, or across the river at the Demarest Lloyd State Park
- rent kayaks to cruise the river
- moor your small sail boat or motor boat on our pier.
- hike on the Lloyd Center for the Environment trails nearby.
- explore historic New Bedford and its Whaling Museum
- shop in the picturesque villages of Westport and Padanaram
- enjoy the art scene this summer in Providence, RI: Waterfire Providence
- tour the mansions in Newport, RI
- sample wine & beer at Westport Winery & Buzzards Bay Brewing
- take the one-hour ferry service to Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket
- enjoy a day trip to Cape Cod
- - attend live theatre and music at the Zeiterion Theatre in New Bedford
- hike on the many trails of the Dartmouth Natural Resources Trust land.

Our guests say:
“ My dad calls the view of the Slocum from the porch 'the lagoon of tranquility' and gazing upon it always has a calming effect…. Thanks to the sisters for keeping LN going and sharing this magical place with us!”

“Thank you for sharing your most beautiful place …we hiked, we biked, kayaked and enjoyed swimming daily and catching up with each other – we loved the privacy and serenity of this very magical place; we leave relaxed and refreshed! Thanks for the home-baked cookies upon arrival and all your generosity. We’d love to return someday. Many, many thanks!”

Loved our 3-day stay at Little Neck for many reasons. Delightful historic family home, stunning view at the edge of a pristine ocean inlet, marsh grasses of changing color all day. Great birding, array of boats, locals fishing,, Surrounding towns interesting and fun.

Wonderful spot for a family gatherijng

This was the most beautiful place for a family gathering with our future in-laws. We brought our kayaks and enjoyed paddling the Slocum River. Also, many beautiful hikes around the adjoining Lloyd Center area. The house reeks of family connection and it was infectious!

Little Neck is a serene vacation spot, surrounded on two sides by water and the other two by woods. We loved sitting in the living room or on the front patio looking out at the scenery. We will be back for sure.

Perfect in every way

The South Shore of Massachusetts is a great place to visit - so many interesting places to hike and kayak and shop and eat and explore....And then to be able to go back to Little Neck and sit on the porch that looks over the mouth of the Slocum River out to Buzzards Bay and the Elizabeth Islands. I can't imagine any place nicer than that!

Perfect - Quiet, Beautiful Getaway

We loved our stay at Little Neck. Everything was spotless when we arrived and the comprehensive house book made sure we didn't have any questions about the house and the area - from A to Z. We enjoyed walking around the property and relaxing on the porch with a beverage. The views are to die for! There are lots of books to read and a piano for those who play. And each bedroom has a private bathroom. I only wish we could have stayed longer! We can't wait to come back!

Absolutely breath taking location

Just came back from a week at Little Neck with the kids and dog. What a spot! We brought our boat and tied right up to the dock which was a huge plus. We explored the Slocum River and Buzzards Bay all week. I had an issue with the boat and the owners put me in touch with a marina to help with the problem. If you love the ocean, this spot is for you.

A very special Gathering Place

Gathering in this classic "summer" home over Thanksgiving week would have been perfect during any Thanksgiving, and it was especially perfect to gather here with our family during Covid. The light, the sunrises, the sunsets, moon rises, the moon sets, the water, the river wildlife and the comfort of this very special home were very hard to say good-bye to. We are thankful the wonderful owners are willing to share their home with us.

Blissful weekend

This house could not have a better situation, in terms of privacy, view, access to water and a killer porch that sucked us in for many an hour. The four bedrooms, each with their own bath is great, as is the big dinner table. The house itself is wonderful, with many of the owners' treasures, lots of inspiring books, binoculars and good olive oil. The owner met us and was there if we needed anything, but we didn't. Best weekend, best place, I can't wait to go back!

Nice location, Plenty of room

Had a nicet time at the house. It is an old house that has had very few updates. More like a museum than a rental accommodation. The kitchen was very old and could use a big update and a good cleaning Appliances, pots and pans, microwave, outdoor grill, coffee maker have seen better days The owners were responsive to my requests.

About the host

Hosted by Katy Zappala

Host profile image
Our house was built in the early 1900s as a summer house. Our parents purchased the property in 1961, and had the house winterized in the late sixties. In the 70s, the upper bedroom was added and the house split into two units. The three sisters (Charlotte, Jenny & Katy) now own Little Neck and continue enjoying swimming, fishing and kayaking in the river with their families, as we hope will you!



What makes this property unique

From the porch, one can see only part of one other house, and that is a ways down the Slocum River.
