The cozy cottage exceeded all expectations, even after reading all the positive reviews. Beth was a great communicator and followed up in a timely manner when we had questions. It’s obvious that Beth loves this cottage and has put a lot into making it warm and welcoming, from the neat beach decor to the well stocked kitchen, the lovely dishes and glasses, and the shed that had plenty of floats and a couple bicycles, among other things. I will definitely be back.

Amazing stay best VRBO rental.

The Cozy Cottage has it all! We do a lot of vrbo rentals and this one by far was the best. Beautiful location, water views, nice walkable beaches. Perfect place to let kids rides bikes to explore the island. Beth has thought of everything to make a family comfortable. We brought our boat up for the week and it was a great place to explore the vineyard, cuttyhunk, and other great locations. We have already talked about coming back talkbackbackybrou

Feels like home

We are back again to Beth’s wonderful oasis. We immediately relax upon entering this adorable home. It is pure comfort. Everything we could ever need and more. Spotless throughout. Beth even left fresh flowers for our arrival. The loft was a special place this visit for us to huddle up and read. Communication with Beth is always amazing and her personal notes are so thoughtful. We just love everything about our stays.

Truth in advertising!

The cozy cottage was exactly that, plus more! The house was cheerful and comfortable with a well stocked kitchen, two nice bicycles to ride around the island, clean gas grill in the backyard with tables and chairs, etc. Enjoyed watching the purple and gold finches coming and going from the feeders, and our dog Ginger kept an eye on the bunnies! Beth was a pleasure to deal with throughout the process and West Island is a hidden gem. Highly recommended.

The location with a view of the ocean was excellent. The owner provided all that was needed to make it a wonderful 2 weeks. The windows on the enclosed patio were left open and we were greeted with a gentle breeze as we ate breakfast. The shuffleboard provided lots of fun. The new 4 burner grill was used to cook a few meals. The nearby retaurant, Riccardi's Italian was known to us from my in Dartmouth at the original restaurant on Hathaway Road.

This listing is appropriately named the Cozy Cottage. It was perfectly maintained and had everything we needed for our stay. Beth goes above and beyond with providing so many amenities. We loved the comfortable front porch to sit and view the water. Beds were comfy and the kitchen had all the appliances and cooking utensils we needed. Just a perfect location and would highly recommend.

Imagine for the rest of your life it’s June and you’re waking up at cozy cottage! This is a lovely place, magical. Great breeze off of the bay, everything you need in the kitchen, comfortable, and relaxing. Great backyard to have your cookouts. Saltwater swimming only a walk away. My family and I will return. We will always remember the solar lanterns on the porch that turned on just the sunrise.

Well-equipped cottage on a quaint New England island

Cottage was clean and had everything that you could ever need. Owner Beth was friendly and available. The best part of this rental is location. West Isle, part of the town of Fairhaven, Mass., is just beautiful. Maybe 7 or so residential streets on one half, undeveloped land and beach on the other. No commercial properties at all. Town beach was beautiful with plenty of parking. Town is only a 10 minute drive and the cape and Newport, RI are both less than an hour drive. Great place, loved it!

This is our second time staying here and it was as wonderful as the first trip. Beth is so wonderful and her home is warm and comfortable.

Cozy but beachy

We had a very nice stay in this classic beach cottage, which has beautiful views and outdoor space, and a perfect location near the wonderful town beach, plus a short walk to a pretty little beach on the bay side. The indoor space is not configured too well for extra guests, so no more than three adults total. Otherwise, cute and comfortable and with an amazingly well-equipped kitchen!

West Island gem

What an incredible week I just had at the cozy cottage on West Island. It had been my fourth property renting on the island and it reminded me of my family‘s cottage in Onset pier is ago but with all the modern amenities. From the well-stocked kitchen to the outdoor shower and the beautiful sleeping porch I couldn’t have asked for more. There was also a beach cart beach chairs bikes and kayaks to use which was awesome. The beds were comfortable there were plenty of towels and beach towels and kitchen supplies. There were even condiments and coffee for the Keurig. The owner even left me a beautiful bouquet of her hydrangeas from her yard which was so very special. Being able to have my dog with me Was such a plus because she is so friendly and loves to swim. Thank you Beth and I will be sure to look at your calendar because I will definitely be back either this fall or or next summer.

We stayed at Beth’s amazing home while visiting family for spring break. It really feels like a home. It was so comfortable and relaxing. The porch was delightful with such a beautiful view. My son loved the loft. We spent a lot of time playing in the yard and on the beach. Beth has everything you could possibly need. Everything was extremely clean and organized. Beth was so responsive prior to our stay and even checked in with me during our stay to see if we needed anything. We hope to stay here again during future visits. Thank you, Beth!
