Beautiful home

Beautiful, clean, comfortable and well maintained home. Had everything we needed but if not, the owner was local and a phone call away. Great views. Walkable to coffee shops, ice cream, boutiques, grocery market. Round Hill Beach is beautiful and great for kids, and Apponagansett Park, just across the bridge, has a fantastic park for the kids. The home is situated on a corner right in the hub of Padanaram, which we knew from doing a street view, but we didn't anticipate how busy the road would be. Not a huge deal, but if you're looking for peace and quiet, there is quite a bit of road/motorcycle noise. There is a restaurant next door, within feet from the house, that plays live, outdoor music on Fri-Sun evenings. Not ideal for families with young kids. Regardless, we enjoyed our stay in the lovely village of Padanaram.

Fun location & comfortable house

The house was well equipped and very comfortable. We enjoyed hearing the live music from next door and watching the world go by. Only caveat: the town has changed its procedures for getting a beach pass. It is in line and then mailed to you. So plan accordingly!

Padanaram cottage

We had a relaxing vacation in this beautiful well kept home. The location is active and the house is perfectly cozy. We enjoyed local musicians playing on the weekends and walks along the harbor bridge during the week.

Sun, Fun and Relaxation

Great location for beaches, boating, good food, fun shopping, and an overall friendly vibe. The house itself has the relaxed feel of a beach abode. The sun shines on the front porch in the morning and on the side deck in the afternoon. You can prepare meals in an equipped kitchen or take advantage of a delicious breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the local eateries and restaurants all within walking distant. The harbor is right across the street so if you enjoy kayaking or paddle boarding it's easy to make that happen with a local rental or what the house provides. Our family of three generations had a wonderful time.

About the host

Hosted by Fatima Simas, Realtor at Anne Whiting Real Estate

I have lived in South Dartmouth since 1988 with my husband and two children. Working presently as a Realtor with Anne Whiting Real Estate. I have 23 years of experience and decided to adventure into rental properties. All my properties are furnished and cleaned to very high standards.

Why they chose this property

Padanaram, a charming village in, Massachusetts, lies along the Apponagansette River ( also called Padanaram Harbor). In 1652 it was purchased for Massasoit, chief of the Wampanoag tribe.
In the mid 18th century, Padanaram became a ship building center because of its fine harbor. This tradition continues today and the area boasts craftsmen who are experts in building and maintaining boats.
It was Laban Thatcher who gave the name Padanaram to the village. It was believed that he saw an analogy in his own life and fortunes to the biblical Laban, who dwelt in
Padan-Aram, the plain for Aram located in northwest Mesopotamia.
Now mostly residential, the village is also home to the New Bedford Yacht Club, which bi-annually host the Buzzards Bay Regatta. Additionally, the village hosts many other interesting businesses, restaurants, galleries, and specialty shops.

What makes this property unique

This New England cottage has the charming old flair with some of the new... All furnished for comfort and relaxation in mind, high end sheets, mattress, sofas and towels etc. You will fall in love with the front porch and the views. Cook on the Water Street side on the Weber grill and eat alfresco!

*You will be in the heart of the Village
* Farm and Coast Market across the street, where you can get delicious local food-lunch, breakfast or maybe a bottle of local wine/beer
* Walk across the street and get your favorite Ice cream
* Sit on the porch and people watch
