Tina is an amazing host! She is very responsive and was so kind to bring us an iron as we were getting ready to go to a wedding. The different spaces in the house made it very easy to relax and enjoy our family time. The area is beautiful, so peaceful, very quiet and a short walk to a nice little beach. We loved the deck. The kitchen was well equipped and we made a nice apple pie on a rainy evening. - 10/13/2025

Beautiful scenery and quiet environment. Reminded us of cabins from our childhood. - 9/27/2025

Knowing the area, this rental was exactly what I wanted as far as setting and location. I loved seeing and hearing the birds every day - especially the ospreys! The sheets were nice and the mattresses comfortable. The bathroom and kitchen fixtures were all clean. As has been noted, this is an older, rustic cottage but I do think the carpet and throw rugs should get a deep cleaning or be replaced. Tina was fabulous - very responsive during the booking process and our stay. We had a small issue with the toilet and she had someone come fix it within an hour. The basket of snacks was much appreciated. - 7/14/2025

We had a great time with our stay. the location was close to all key attractions and the dock was very relaxing. The host was highly responsive and friendly. highly recommend for your next stay. - 9/01/2025

Great host! My group of 5 adults had a great time at this rental. Awesome view of the water! - 8/24/2025
Jason
Beautiful place with a nice layout. The beds and linens were very clean and. We slept really well and enjoyed a beautiful morning looking onto the water. - 8/18/2025
Dorothy
We stayed at Tina's to see family and it was a great location for that. Lots of restaurants in the area, easy to get to Cape Cod and Plymouth (enjoyed Plymouth sites). We appreciated the town beach permit and brochures and menus. As others noted AC unit is in the living room so used a box fan to get bedrooms cooled. The screened in porch was very nice in the evening. We would come again - 7/30/2025
Juilia
Had a great stay. It is super cute and the perfect house for our little cape cod trip. The waterfront views were so nice to wake up to. The AC unit kept the entire place cool. There’s a beach pass to be able to go to one of the local beaches. The home has plenty of games, towels, and everything you need. The location was great and central to all of the places we wanted to go on our trip. This included Martha’s Vineyard, Boston, New Bedford, and Chatham. There were plenty of restaurants and coffee shops nearby. New Bedford had a great nightlife/bar scene and was only 20 mins away. Overall, great location & home. - 7/22/2025
Nick
My friends and I had a great time staying at the house over the fourth! Tina was very responsive and always answered my questions. I’d definitely stay at another one of her host homes again. 🙂 - 7/06/2025
Tina
We really enjoyed our stay. Tina was very communicative. The house was great and the family really enjoyed fishing off the dock. We were close to Cape Cod and did enjoy a day in Falmouth. My only suggestion would be to get sofas for the livingroom rather than futons. They tended to be uncomfortable the longer you sat on them.We will definitely keep this house on our list for revisits.Tina & Don Thorne - 6/29/2025
Kristina
Tina was an excellent host. We found the home to be the perfect location for a relaxing family vacation. The views were stunning! Would definitely come back and recommend to anyone looking to enjoy the best of New England in the summer. - 6/21/2025
Amy
Beautiful location! We had a wonderful stay - it felt like home the minute we stepped inside. The kitchen is remarkably well stocked, equipment wise. There are lots of large pots and serving dishes to prepare almost any seafood feast you could imagine, and the local seafood market was excellent!One note is that the house is a bit of an echo chamber, and the neighboring houses are quite close. We noticed with the windows open that you could clearly hear conversations in the house from out on the dock. A minor thing, but it did make us feel like we had to keep the windows closed most of the time so as to not bother the neighbors. - 5/26/2025
Vanessa
The house was cozy and the location was beautiful. Watching the sunrise over the bay was a great way to wake up. The kitchen had everything we needed for meal preparation. The beds were comfortable and the house was clean. Tina was easy to reach for any questions and the instructions for the house and dock were easy to follow. We loved our weekend away - 8/26/2024
Maggie
Bay Breeze was a great way to take respite. It is in a quiet area with an abundance of nature to observe. Location is convenient to Buzzards Bay, Onset and the Canal. Tina was proactive and very responsive. This is a true 3 season camp but with lots of charm. We would defintiely stay again. - 8/19/2024

Pamela
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
Christine
Great location for us and the perfect size house for our family. - 8/09/2025

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
Lorena
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
Azieza
The house was just as described, very cute place in a very quiet neighborhood. Tina was very responsive to any questions and concerns in a very timely manner. Highly recommend. - 7/14/2025
Bethany
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
Sebastien
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette maison bien entretenue avec toutes les commodités et dans quartier calme.Proche d’une petite plage sympathique et par trop loin de Cap Code.Nous avons pris le ferry qui est à 10min de voiture pour Martha’s Vinyard, une excellente excursion d’une journée.Des restaurants sympa pas très loin.Tina a été fantastique, toujours à l’écoute de nos besoins - 8/16/2024
Jamie
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
Desirée
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
Renee
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

Jenna
Amazing place and location. Host was super responsible and so sweet, she even came and dropped off more of things we needed in the house! The only thing I would say we definitely needed but didn’t have in the house was a broom and dust pan. Lots of sand and dirt got tracked into the house from the beach or just walking around outside so I did have to knock on a few of the neighbors doors to borrow a broom. Everything else was great! - 8/18/2025

Very cute house-well furnished. Very clean. Nice neighborhood. Easy entrance and locking system. Nice deck. Lots of flowers. A few things lacking in the kitchen for cooking meals. Overall a pleasant experience. - 8/23/2025
Cynthia
Tina is a wonderfully responsive host. Her home was clean and bright, with a relaxing deck surrounded by well-planned perennial gardens. The outside shower and central A/C were a huge bonus as the first of our two weeks stay entailed very hot, outdoor work in the area. The smaller local beach within walking distance is safe and full of exploration for families with small children, and the expansive town beach provides soft sand with beautiful views of Buzzards Bay. You'll need to bring beach chairs and umbrellas as necessary, however the home is otherwise provided with ample linens, paper goods, and a fully supplied kitchen. Don't hesitate to book this West Island gem. We plan to be back in the future. - 8/09/2025
Sara
Strawberry Moon was great! Easy to find, easy to get inside and was spotless. We appreciated the beach pass and her clear communication! Will book with Tina again! - 7/26/2025
Jonathan
We had a WONDERFUL experience at Strawberry Moon and plan to return for years to come! Tina was fantastic to work with and provided us with everything we needed for a memorable beach week. The house is gorgeous and spacious, right in the heart of the island. The little beach and the ocean cream shop are walkable and all the amenities of home are right at your fingertips. We also took several day trips onto the Cape and enjoyed so many adventures. The house is beautifully remodeled with a stunning kitchen, a lovely sitting area, and bright and spacious family room. The bedrooms have plenty of space with a peaceful balcony off the master that boasts views of the water. We can’t recommend Tina and Strawberry Moon highly enough!!! - 7/20/2025

Renee
Traffic in CT added 2 extra hours to our travel time so we could not wait to arrive and relax, the house is beautiful! The furniture was comfy the back deck was great and the overall vibe was modern New England which was great. The AC would not turn on and Tina answered our text right way and was over within a half hour and got it running. We had plans in Newport 50m or so to the west and Martha’s Vineyard 55m to the East it was a great mid way point and a walkable Ice Cream parlor was an added bonus. We were a party of 5 for my daughter’s 16th birthday and we had plenty of space. The only negatives I have are the coffee pot is tiny (for non caffeine addicted people it’s prob fine), the shades in the primary bedroom allow in a lot of light very early in the am and the shower water pressure in the morning was better than at night no clue why but manageable. It was a perfect 4 day getaway. - 6/21/2025
Chris
The property is located in a safe, quiet, and tranquil area on beautiful West Island, MA. It is easily walkable (10 min) to a restaurant called Off the Hook - waterside/marina dining with good choices of burgers and seafood. Live music on the weekends. Beautiful beach within just 2 minute drive (parking permit included) and a smaller beach by the house as well just a few minute walk. Overall great stay! - 6/15/2025
Robert
Tina’s place was a wonderful house. Great location on safe street. - 8/31/2024

What a gorgeous gem of a find on West Island! We loved Tina’s house - it was just as described. We also appreciated the welcome basket and plenty of Keurig cups for our morning coffee on the back deck. Sweet home, great amenities, near the town beach, and the outdoor shower was a huge plus.Tina was super responsive and very helpful. We would love to stay again! - 9/01/2025
Victoria
This rental was a 10/10 stay. Me, my husband, and our 2 yr old spent a long weekend to get some beach time in and wow. First of all, the place was immaculate (and I say that as a toddler mom who's child is constantly playing on the floor -clean floors is a must!). The space was spotless & had everything you could need. The house is so close to the beaches, take a quick walk to enjoy the sunset at the north side beach, or a 2 minute drive down the road to the south shore beach which was a PERFECT beach for little kids. Clean, soft sand, ample space, minimal waves, & lifeguards. The location was fantastic, set in a quiet, safe, & friendly neighborhood but a short drive to the grocery store, restaurants, family friendly breweries, playgrounds, museums, you name it! Not to mention it was stunning to see the ocean, take in the fresh air, & see the beautiful planted flowers all from the kitchen table. I wish I had space to write more, we will definitely be back! - 8/25/2025
Taylor
We had a wonderful stay! The house was spotless, comfortable, and exactly as described. The location was perfect, just a short 2-minute drive to the beach, which made our trip even more enjoyable. The host was friendly and responsive and made sure everything went smoothly. We would stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. - 8/10/2025
Raymond
What a wonderful home! The living space was well laid out and very comfortable. The outdoor shower was an extra bonus! We enjoyed starting each day with breakfast at the outside table enjoying the water view. Tina was extremely responsive to any questions or concerns we had.Everything was great and we would happily stay here again! - 8/06/2025

Jane
Absolutely loved the cottage! So beautifully decorated and so well-equipped. The view of the water was great and the landscaping was fantastic. Great petite kitchen!!! Perfect for our stay — grandmother, me, my two kids. We fought over who could hang out all day on the daybed. Plan to rent it again next year! - 7/13/2025
Eri
We had a wonderful stay! The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. We were able to cook meals easily and also enjoyed dining out. Tina’s cottage included games, which were a nice bonus for extra entertainment. The neighborhood was charming, and the walk to the beach was beautiful. - 6/22/2025
Sonja
Our family of four enjoyed our stay at Tina’s place! It was the perfect central getaway as we did day trips all over Cape Cod. The view every morning of the water, from our big window, was perfect to look out! I highly recommend this beautiful place!! - 6/18/2025
Catherine
We had a great time at the Oceanview Oasis! It was neat and clean and met all of our expectations. Having bikes was a great treat that the kids enjoyed! We would highly recommend this cottage in West Island! - 6/09/2025
Melissa
Tina’s place was fantastic. She is a great host, had everything we needed. Her home was immaculate. The location is awesome if you want to go exploring, you can walk to the beach. It is about 45 min from many popular destinations including Newport, Plymouth, cape cod. Also, only 20 min from the Ferry to Martha’s Vineyard/Nantucket. - 6/01/2025
Jim
Truly, one of the most amazing vacation experiences we have enjoyed. Tina's home is well appointed while still feeling open and full of fresh air. Tina made the wntire process, from start to finish, easy and her prompt communication was most appreciated. The view of the water and location allow for admiring nature's gift of sunset. I am hoping to enjoy Tina's cottage upon our next trip home. Many thanks! - 5/08/2025

Our stay was perfect! We really wished we would’ve booked longer. The key word “Impressive”, from cleanliness to location to feeling at home and cozy (even better than home lol). Tina was a gem! We hope to be back someday, what a great area. We wish you the best Tina, thanks for your kindness. - 10/14/2024

This wonderful little cottage is perched on the water, facing sunsets, with light and airy views that actually just make you want to stay put and not go anywhere else! Easy to find, close to conveniences, and completely provisioned. It's clear the hosts have thought about everything we might have needed. We were there a week, and stayed in and cooked 3 nights, even though the New Bedford, Dartmouth, and Fairhaven areas have overwhelming dining options and it felt like our own kitchen. We prefer to visit places off season/shoulder seasons, and covet quiet. This home delivered. We're going back. Such a sweet little visit.If I have one complaint, it's that I wasn't smart enough to book it for TWO weeks! - 11/18/2025

Lovely Day was one of our stays with the BEST location. Waking up to the panoramic views of the ocean was so beautiful. The morning strolls on the private beach were serene and even made our coffee taste extra good. Sad to leave after a week long stay. This is our second rental with true Super Host Tina and both experiences have been wonderful. Thank you, Tina and hope to see you next Fall 😊 - 10/10/2025

Just right for a quiet stress free retreat. The panoramic ocean view both indoors and outdoors was a huge plus. The sunsets were amazing. The house is tastefully decorated, well equipped, super comfortable, and very clean. Can’t wait to come back again. - 9/14/2025

Tinas house is more than awesome and was a highlight during our round trip. We can strongly recommend this house if you love the beach as well as the ocean. Its near to Cape Cod and Marthas Vineyard. If you want to have a drink or a dinner try Off the Hook nearby - 8/31/2025

This was our 2nd year staying at “Lovely Day” seaside cottage. The time is never enough. Tina’s place is comfortable, super clean and homey for our home away from home by the sea. The cottage has everything you can imagine you can need for supplies, cooking and all the comforts of home. The view from the windows are breathtaking and oh that ocean breeze and sound when you open the windows is worth the stay alone. Tina was an amazing host, always available for help or anything you need. Love this place. I will certainly be returning. 💖 - 8/24/2025

If you are looking for a quiet tranquil area with beautiful views this is the place for you. Sit out on the patio in the evening and watch the sunset. The family area is bright and inviting with beautiful views as well. The house has books to read, games to play, and some toys for the kids. Go there to destress. Walk to and have a drink or a meal at Off the Hook. There is also much to do in Fall River and New Bedford if you want to keep busy. We enjoyed the Firehouse museum and Whaling museum with our granddaughter. Great restaurants in the area too. - 8/21/2025

We have stayed at Lovely Day for four years—it has always been a privilege to spend time here. Over the years our kids have grown up spending a week on West Island, and it’s been a blast. There is just enough to do to keep everyone occupied, but not so much that it is a tourist destination. We look forward to many more years of stays here. Thank you for being a gracious host, Tina! - 8/17/2025

This beach cottage was the perfect spot for our family getaway. It was cute, quiet, and had everything we needed, plus our kids loved the beach toys and equipment provided. If we’re ever back in the area, we’ll definitely check if it’s available again! - 7/24/2025
