There are no bridges to cross, no traffic jams to fight — just a peaceful and serene neighborhood with stunning, uncrowded beaches. From the minute you turn onto the causeway, you will feel the weight lift off your shoulders. You’re on Island Time now! The long, sandy beaches are yours to explore. And the popular Off the Hook Bar & Grill is just minutes away, whether you walk, bike or drive there. This mid-century modern cottage has been lovingly updated with gorgeous mahogany kitchen counters, modern appliances and spacious full bathroom. The wood ceilings and clerestory windows provide a bright, sunny and welcoming space to create fun vacation memories. AMENITIES: We have all the perks you’d expect from a well-furnished beach home, including: \- Full kitchen with dishwasher, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, etc. \- Front deck for catching some rays, reading a good book and just plain relaxing with family or friends. \- High-speed Internet. \- Private, grassy backyard. \- Gas BBQ grill. \- Fire pit with Adirondack chairs. \- A beach wagon to pack up all your gear for a fun day at the beach. \- Beach chairs, swim noodles, soft-sided cooler, etc. \- Beach toys for the kids. \- Plenty of beach towels, linens, high-quality toiletries, etc. \- A full-size washer and dryer, so you can pack light! OTHER THINGS TO NOTE: One of the best things about our location is NO BRIDGES to cross! West Island is a peaceful and serene setting yet everything you need (supermarkets, shopping) is just minutes away on Route 6 in Fairhaven. GETTING TO THE BEACH: The closest beach is straight down Fisherman's Street, where there's a path that leads to the private, association beach. It's a great place to park a beach chair and watch the sunset. The main swimming beach is at the end of Fir Street. Bring the beach pass with you. Please swim at your own risk. Never leave children unattended at the beach, and always swim with a buddy. THINGS TO DO: When you’re feeling energetic, there’s a ton of fun things to do: \- Bring your bikes or kayaks and explore the area. \- Play golf or take the kids to play miniature golf nearby; \- Take a hike! Our beach house is surrounded by conservation land, and there is a trailhead nearby. You can find lots of other trails in Fairhaven and Mattapoisett, too. \- Walk or bike the path that runs from Fairhaven through Mattapoisett and crosses a scenic salt marsh on Eel Pond. \- There are beautiful bike paths along the Cape Cod Canal and in Falmouth, too. \- Explore the many antiques shops throughout Southern New England. \- Visit the quaint Mattapoisett Museum or the Whaling Museum in historic New Bedford. \- Visit the famous mansions in Newport, R.I. You can buy tickets online. \- Catch a Red Sox game, or check out the Cape Cod Baseball League games for some exciting college-level action. Wareham has the closest ball field. \- Catch the high-speed ferry to Martha's Vineyard from nearby New Bedford. WHERE TO EAT: And to top it all off, there are fabulous restaurants — from the No. 1 clam shack in New England (Oxford Creamery) to finer dining at Tastebuds in Mattapoisett or Brew Fish Bar & Eatery in Marion — and everything in between. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Paper towels ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - Near a zoo - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Swimming nearby - Whale watching nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Composting - Double-glazed windows - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Eco-friendly toiletries - Garden - Recycling - Unit size: 800 square feet - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113330000/113326600/113326582/31cc23a4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### World Cup Ocean retreat 40 minute drive from Boston Stadium - Gillette Fairhaven - Ocean view - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 8.4 Very good 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-02&endDate=2026-04-03&selected=113326582&PinnedHotelID=113326582&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/88000000/87260000/87256100/87256009/871a6176.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stunning Luxury House with Sunset and Private Beach Fairhaven - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 40 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-02&endDate=2026-04-03&selected=87256009&PinnedHotelID=87256009&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/112000000/111991200/111991129/0b7f427a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful Ocean Front House with Private Beach, Hot Tub and Spectacular Sunsets Fairhaven - Ocean view - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 9.6 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-02&endDate=2026-04-03&selected=111991129&PinnedHotelID=111991129&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) [Compare similar properties](/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-02&endDate=2026-04-03&selected=104074247&PinnedHotelID=104074247&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2&comparePropertyIds=104074247,113326582,87256009,111991129) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age: 25 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Rules Kitchen counters: Please do not put drinks or hot pots on the mahogany counters; use coasters and trivets that are provided.
