The cottage is so homey and comfortable. the walk to the beach was so short, the view of the sunset from the cottage was amazing as well as the clear night sky. I absolutely adored the kitchen and its retro style! Also in such a quiet area, felt like we were in our own little world!! Definitely will be booking with them again!

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!

Unwind in this spacious, serene coastal escape. Featuring stunning ocean views and breathtaking sunsets, this tastefully decorated luxury getaway is the perfect place to recharge. Fire up the BBQ in the peaceful backyard, lounge on the back deck, or take a short stroll to the beach.
Your stay includes a complimentary town beach parking pass to maximize your beach time. (Please note: This pass is a $300 value and must be left behind for the next guest to avoid a replacement fee).
When you aren’t on the sand, you’re just a short walk away from the local marina, excellent dining, and the Island Creamery for a sweet treat.

This was our second stay at Tina’s place and we plan to return every summer we can. The location is perfect for the kids to walk across to the smaller beach and still be able to come back for lunch. A very cozy home with plenty of space for everyone to relax after a long day at the beach. my favorite part is waking up to look at the ocean with my coffee each morning.

What a gorgeous gem of a find on West Island! We loved Tina’s house - it was just as described.

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!

The location is absolutely fabulous and our stay was equally so. The views were gorgeous. The beds were extremely comfortable and the living room was spacious with a stunning view from the bay window. The beach we visited, Little Harbor, included in the beach was incredible, being able to walk out what seemed like hundreds of feet into the bay.Plenty of local restaurants within 10 minutes with delicious New England cuisine. Our host was helpful, responsive, and a delight to communicate with.

We had a great stay at Bay Breeze. The views were breathtaking and house was equipped well. The dock is brand new and absolutely gorgeous. Had a great time clamming and hanging out at the beach and were able to do so at the beaches that honor the provided beach pass! Would highly recommend a stay here!

This is an adorable old school cape bungalow. Amazing view of the water and saltwater marshes. The new dock is very nice. Neighboring docks have boats around 22-26’ long. Could potentially access by water. There are no canoes, kayaks or SUPs so bring your own. Perfect spot for this. Absolutely beautiful area to explore in a self propelled boat! The beds are comfortable. The shared living space is nice and large. Screened in porch perfect for coffee in the morning. The neighborhood is very quiet. The neighbors are very nice too.

Welcome to your quintessential New England escape!
The Space
This rustic waterfront cottage is tucked away in the peaceful marshes of East Fairhaven, offering a secluded slice of paradise for nature lovers. Dripping with authentic beach-cottage charm, this is a place to unplug, unwind, and slow down. Please note: If you are looking for high-end luxury or a modern hotel feel, this laid-back retreat might not be for you. If you love old-school coastal character, you’ll be right at home.
The marsh is your backyard—perfect for spotting local wildlife or launching your own kayak or canoe. After a day of exploring, head up to the upper deck to soak in breathtaking views of Little Bay and catch spectacular, uninterrupted sunsets.
The Layout
Main Floor: An open, fully equipped kitchen, a dining room, full laundry facilities, and a cozy living room with two distinct seating areas (including a streaming-ready TV).
Second Floor: Three bedrooms and a full bathroom. The primary bedroom (Queen) and the second bedroom (Full) both feature window A/C units, while the cozy third bedroom (Full) is equipped with a fan.
Recent Upgrades We are constantly improving the property to ensure a comfortable stay. Recent updates include a brand-new stove, new leather recliner and loveseat, a refreshed custom shower, extensive yard and road cleanup, a newly built bridge over the marsh area, and professional mosquito and tick treatment for your comfort.
Dog-Friendly! Bring your four-legged best friend along for the adventure.
Guest Access: Guests have full run of the house, except for the shed and a locked closet behind the laundry room (used for owner storage). While the owners’ personal boats are not available for guest use, we highly encourage you to bring your own kayaks or canoes to launch directly from the marsh!

iwant to state i never actually stayed here i arrived and left within 5 mintues of entry. there were several issue but the most important one was that there was water leaking from the first floor ceiling the carpet was wet and stained and the entire house smelt. it all looked like a long standing issue and im boggled by the good reviews. i never went upstairs but my husband did and the ceiling there were also damp and water stained. maybe it was a bad winter for the house but it felt straight up from a horror movie when we arrived. We were worried about fleas for our dog the ceiling dripped on my husband and we went to the nearest hotel. Hopefully the host actually goes and fixes the issue and properly cleans the home. when i called upon arrival( we were locked out) they stated they had other rentals i hope those are maintained better

We had a very good time here! I travelled from Keller, TX with my family and were easily able to find the cottage. It is very private and quiet with easy access to the private beach. The house was stocked with essentials and we absolutely enjoyed it. For the price, I’d absolutely do it again. One important recommendation for all, make sure you understand THIS IS A COTTAGE. Let it come to you and you will have a blast. For the host I’ll recommend maybe more frequent mosquito control, we were around for about a week. It is about a 50 min drive to the ferry to Martha’s Vineyard, and to downtown Boston. Our only qualm was we struggled quite a bit with mosquito bites daytime and night time. Overall, we really had a great time, the host was super responsive.Thank you Tina for having us. We’d return any day.

We have rented this location multiple times from Tina. She is a great host, readily available with any questions or concerns. She offered a list of things to do in the area as well as local restaurants and shopping. We had a great visit to the Whaling museum and the military museum near by. The house is in a great location with beautiful views of the bay from the sitting area and yard space. Patio furniture very comfortable to watch the sunset from. Plenty of supplies available to cook or clean up after yourself. Beach towels/bath towels and linens available for our use. Games and toys available to keep you busy on a rainy day or when winding down in the evening. We will be back again next year!

If I could give Lovely Day 100 stars I would. The house was immaculate and SO adorable. Perfect for my family of four with two small children. The house came with linens and towels, cleaning supplies, and beach chairs and toys. The private beach was so incredible, we never even checked out the bigger beach although we did have a pass to use if we wanted to. We were often the only ones on the beach and found HUGE shells. Tina provided recommendations of restaurants to go to or order, there was an ice cream shop walking distance, and the neighbors were incredibly friendly. Tina always responded immediately with any questions. We will absolutely be booking again!

When you’re not at the beach, you can easily walk to local boutiques and delicious neighborhood restaurants. Plus, you’re only a 10-minute drive from neighboring New Bedford, where you can catch the ferry for a day trip to Martha’s Vineyard!
The Layout

Second Floor: Up the stairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms and a bonus secondary living/TV room complete with air conditioning—perfect for giving the kids or teenagers their own space.
Basement: Full laundry facilities are available for your use.
Outdoor Living Fire up the grill in the backyard and enjoy an afternoon barbecue at the picnic table after a fun day in the sun.

This place was spacious and comfortable for 3 people. It has plenty of storage for clothes, suitcases etc. I liked that it was clean and bed was comfortable. There is a sitting area upstairs with a tv which is nice. A lamp for reading there would be nice also. Tina was very responsive to all emails and responded quickly when there was a concern about the air conditioner. Fort Phoenix is within walking distance and the neighborhood is great for walking. Stairs are a bit steep from upstairs to come down to bathroom but we are in good shape and managed it well- there is a banister too. We would definitely stay here in the future!

Tina’s place was the perfect spot for our family. The house was clean and in the perfect location to hop off from to enjoy the surrounding area. Beautiful historic walks to the local beach and coffee shops. A quick drive to New Bedford with plenty of restaurants to enjoy! The house felt larger than the photos portrayed, and had everything we needed. We especially appreciated the well kept children’s toys in the house and coloring supplies! The only problem we had was we wish we had more time. Can’t recommend this rental enough!

This beautifully appointed luxury home places you just a short stroll away from local beaches, waterfront dining, and evening ice cream runs. Your stay also includes a complimentary town parking permit, granting you access to the island’s premier main beach and all Fairhaven town beaches. It’s also the perfect, centrally located starting point for easy day trips to Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, or Newport, Rhode Island.

This home has been nicely updated, but definitely showed deferred maintenance. There were some issues with the cleanliness of the kitchen floor/items, stained/worn furniture & rugs, as well as a linens issue.....the bathrooms were well cleaned, but other areas seemed to have been missed, and we needed to do some remedial cleaning on arrival. Tina was always quickly responsive, and delivered the needed replacement linen & cleaning supplies, but it wasn't ideal to need to have her do so. In all fairness, we were the final summer renters, so perhaps all the wear & tear from the season had accumulated. The setting is very peaceful & quiet, and the beach pass was put to use every day! The home has good climate control, so the inside temps were always comfortable. Tina kindly provided coffee & snacks, which were much appreciated! If housekeeping and maintenance is caught up on, this home would definitely be a 5 star accommodation!

We have stayed at a number of houses on West Island over the years, but this was our first time at Strawberry Moon. The location on the north side of Causeway was more quiet and residential feeling than the places we’ve stayed toward the town beach. The house itself is minimally but thoughtfully appointed, very clean and bright. The neighborhoods don’t have much through traffic, which was great for our kids—one of whom learned to ride a bike this summer on the quiet streets!

We had a wonderful family vacation at Strawberry Moon. West Island is a beautiful classic coastal New England Island. The whole place just feels like summer! The house was great-spacious, bright and clean. Our family really enjoyed our time here. It’s a quick walk to The Creamery for lobster rolls and ice cream and a very short drive to the beautiful beach. Visit Off the Hook for delicious mudslides and just walk around the quaint neighborhood. Tina left clear instructions and it was very easy to communicate with her. Highly recommend!

We had such a wonderful long weekend at Strawberry Moon. The house was spacious and well equipped and loved how close it was to the town beach - as well as well situated to have a short drive to lots of good restaurants and coffee shops. And, was only an hour drive to get to Newport!The backyard and back deck were pristine and the outdoor shower was a lovely bonus. The beds were a little squeaky and I do wish there had been beach chairs available to use, but other than that, it was just about perfect. Tina was super communicative and we had everything we needed during our stay. It was a great spot to go with our baby and friends for a getaway!

My family and I did a week long Northeast road trip and came across this Airbnb as a central location to Newport, RI & Cape Cod, MA. The house is located on a quiet street that was a bit isolated, but everything in town was a short 10-minute drive and the beach was minutes away. The house was updated, clean and had everything we needed for a few days. It was a bit of a tight fit for 6 adults with only 2 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom, but I would definitely stay here again with less people. Overall, we had a great stay and the location gave us central access to several major NE towns.
