			Great neighborhood only a few blocks walk to beach/playground. The house is lovely, bright and more spacious than the pictures show. as other reviewers have mentioned there is a steep turn to the stairs but good traction and railing so we had no problems. We appreciated the full washer and dryer! All well cleaned and very comfortable beds. We would stay again.		 - 8/20/2025

			Tina communicated so promptly throughout the entire process - from booking until even after our stay. The house was just perfect for what my daughter and I needed for our trip to Fairhaven. Will definitely stay here again for future visits.		 - 7/31/2025

			Went to Fairhaven for a wedding and some touring. Tina’s place was just what we needed. My mom had a bedroom downstairs and didn’t have to go up too many stairs. The neighborhood was super quiet and friendly. Loved all the suggestions in the folder for food and attractions! For a few days, we felt at home in a beautiful cottage. Thank you Tina!		 - 7/28/2025

			Fairhaven is such a cute town. I enjoyed my daily morning walks from the center of town to the beach, Tina’s house is perfectly situated in a neighborhood with ample sidewalks. There is an ice cream shop, restaurants, coffee shop, beach, and beautiful library nearby. I will try to stay here whenever I’m in area to visit family. It is a quick drive to the Vineyard ferry and downtown New Bedford. The cottage is old, but has been updated  with excellent air conditioning. Steps to upstairs bedrooms are very steep. Ok for young ones though. My teens loved having their own space with sitting room. There is a long bike trail near the house, but no place in town rents bicycles (business opportunity!), so bring a bike if you can!		 - 7/07/2025

			We loved our stay. The place had two separate living areas and a little sun porch which we enjoyed spending time lounging or sewing in. Large amount of space, comfy beds, house had everything you could ask for. Cute New England charm, very peaceful Fairhaven neighborhood. Easy off street parking and well working AC which was much appreciated during the New England summer. Tina was very responsive when we had any questions. Would stay again in a heartbeat.		 - 8/12/2024

			This house was SO adorable and perfect for our families stay. I wish we had more time to actually enjoy the house as we traveled throughout New England, but the location was perfect. Thank you Tina for providing a beautiful home away from home experience.		 - 7/01/2024

			We loved our stay at Maple By the Bay - Fort Phoenix!  Tina was a great host - extremely responsive!  We felt right at home. Kitchen was well stocked and lots of extras in the pantry.  Linens and towels were plentiful and of high quality. Great mattress. Great supply of household items (paper towels, toilet paper, detergents) that we would normally have to purchase locally during our stay - thank you, Tina!  Very historic and quiet neighborhood.  The house technology has a strong and consistent wifi signal.  We were able to use multiple devices on the network including the streaming apps on the TV without any interruptions or delays.		 - 6/26/2024
