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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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!

The house was spotless and Tina was incredibly responsive. Cute neighborhood that was a perfect place to go with a pre-schooler as we could safely scoot all through the neighborhood and enjoyed the Fort and beach was perfect for a young child. Easy to walk to get coffee and treats or drive to explore other places. Wish I could give it 4.5 as it was everything it promised to be but generally reserve 5 for water views or other special touches but it is exactly as described and we all felt comfortable and had fun. Comfy to come home to. Thank you Tina.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!!!

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.

Walking distance to the beautiful bike trail. This area is so serene. We didn’t spend much time in the Airbnb but it served its purpose. Very nicely decorated & the natural lighting in the bathroom is great!
