summer retreat

I have always loved the waters around West Island and enjoyed the local culture of Fairhaven and New Bedford. The house provides a wonderful opportunity to experience both. The house has a very modern interior and ample size for our small family's needs---but also there is quite suitable space to entertain our local friends. Shannon has been nothing but pleasant and responsive. Can't wait till next year.

Best Vacation House Yet

We’ve rented on West Island for many years now visiting family in the area. This was by far the Best Home we’ve ever stayed at. The house, the backyard, the location, and the host, all were just perfect. The house is comfortable, stylized, clean and the kitchen can handle a large crew for dinner. The location is just far enough out on the island that it gets amazing ocean views and breezes. The backyard and it’s seating foster bouts of self contemplation or a large group cocktail hour. This all comes together because of the engaging personality and attention to detail of its host: Shannon. She was always available, anticipating or responding to a guest’s needs. All in all, The Best Stay Yet.

Wonderful property

Just a delightful property on West Island! Lovely and modern decor, quality towels/bedding and comfy beds. The neighbors are friendly. The walking and beach are great. Great restaurants in New Bedford. Highly recommend Brick Pizza Napoletana Fairhaven. Wish it was in Boston!
