My family of four adults had a wonderful weekend. This home is beautifully decorated and very comfortable with many amenities. We especially loved the landscaping and the backyard fire pit area. We rode the bikes around the island, took walks, played corn hole and thoroughly enjoyed being together. Thank you for making your home available for us to enjoy.
Very clean, very comfortable home. The island is beautiful. The beaches and bike trails are perfect and the surrounding area is very comfortable. Great place for a family vacation
My family of four absolutely loved our stay here. The house is perfect, we did not want to leave! It was so nice to be so close to the beaches & ice cream shop! We had a really great summer vacation here.
Sea Salt Cottage is beautifully designed and decorated, and has everything you need for a relaxing getaway: beach, porch sitting area, firepit, outdoor shower, bright and spacious kitchen, quiet neighborhood, ice cream shop and restaurant within walking distance, and more. This was our fifth stay here, and we will be back!
West Island is unique, sweet, quiet spot. Perfect to relax, spend time with family and enjoy outdoor activities. Beaches all near by and we found wonderful tennis/pickle courts at the beach at State Park Fort Phoenix just a 15 minute drive. Beth is as super helpful with any questions about the area and the house. The house had everything you could think of in the kitchen. We loved the fire pit for s’mores. Overall, just what we were looking for.
We were so thrilled with Beth and her home. We were looking for a bit more space for our little family, and this place was perfect. The island is great and a nice secluded little community. We hope to return next year.
This property was just as described. It was perfect for quiet time and relaxation for my daughter and me. Beth was fabulous to deal with and was great with her communication. We would definitely stay again! Thank you.
This was our family of 4 first experience with a VRBO and it was amazing. The Sea Salt Cottage had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. We loved riding the bikes through out the island and the other amenities the cottage offered. Beth, the owner, was so easy to communicate with and offered so much information for activities to do in the area. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of staying here.
Beth & Steve are amazing hosts! Sea Salt Cottage is a true gem. The location can't be beat: only a mile from the private beach on West Island and only 15 minutes from the New Bedford ferry terminal. The house is so comfortable inside and out, with a gorgeous kitchen, a cozy back porch, outdoor shower, swing, lawn for games, and a firepit. Our family has stayed at Sea Salt Cottage for four years in a row and can't wait to go back next year!
I rented the house to attend my daughter's wedding and it couldn't have been a more perfect home away from home. Kitchen was well stocked and the house was decorated beautifully. The host was very responsive and helpful. Bikes and cornhole came in handy!!
Every five star review for this home and the people who own it is well deserved.
This is the only home I’ve ever rented where the reality was better than the description.
It truly is a special place where every detail is considered.
The owners are thoughtful, friendly and go above and beyond in every way imaginable.
The home is comfortable, warm and inviting and an oasis away from everything, while being close enough to everything a person could want or need.
I feel so fortunate to have found this special place and will definitely return.
The house was beautifully decorated without being precious. There were many places both inside and outside to relax. The three bedrooms are off the kitchen and the feeling of the rest of the house is open and bright. In the shed there were several bikes from which to choose. We hadn't been to West Island before; it's pretty sleepy...one ice cream place .1 mile away:) We mostly just hung around reading and eating ice cream every night and that worked for us!
The island is very easy to figure out as it's an alphabetical grid. It seems like it would be a great place to bring kids because they could ride their bikes around without much worry.
My wife and I have just spent three special days at this beautiful property as part of our New England road trip.
The cottage is stunning, situated in a quiet tree lined road on a small island connected to the mainland by a causeway.
On arriving at the island it is almost like stepping back in time, everybody is so polite and friendly and the only sounds to be heard are the sound of the ocean and birdsong.
The cottage itself is beautifully furnished, so comfortable, with modern appliances and sea themed art and ornaments.
The bed is very comfortable, and the living room so very welcoming and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and modern. We both loved the cottage and would be hard pressed to find a single fault.
Bicycles are provided for use on the island, and the cottage is no more than 400 metres from the sea in any direction, with beautiful beaches and good walks.
Our dealings with Beth were prefect, .Beth responded quickly to our contact and was very helpful in messaging with little tips for things to do, and checking in that we were ok, the very best of hosts.
We will always remember our time at Sea Salt Cottage and would return in a heartbeat.
Thank you Beth. Thank you Sea Salt Cottage and West Island.
Hostess communication was amazing and the house itself is SO thoughtfully done. It is deceiving from the outside too in terms of how spacious and open the living area is into the kitchen. Every decoration has been very well thought through and the kitchen itself was incredibly stocked with any possible tool or cooking implement you could ever need!
Great place to stay, location is excellent! The owners take great care of the home and there is plenty of space! I loved the back porch with the ceiling fan, great place to relax! Thanks for a wonderful experience!
Beautiful property with exceptional outdoor space! Love the covered porch for coffee and reading- great outdoor shower - and lovely comfortable bedrooms. What a gem of a property!
Our family loved our time at Sea Salt Cottage. The listing was just as described, the community was so cute and the beaches were beautiful. Everyone we met on West Island was so nice and accommodating. Our hosts were super communicative and gave us a ton of recommendations about the island and surrounding areas. Our five year old son didn’t want to leave! We will definitely be visiting again!
The property is spotless and lovingly decorated and supplied with all needs.
Beautiful location that’s walking distance to beaches. Would love to revisit in the future!
we loved our stay at Sea Salt Cottage- the property was well kept and very clean. The kids enjoyed smores every night at the firepit, bike rides around the island and ice cream from West Island Creamery. Beth was also a very responsive host. Highly recommend a stay here- the cottage brought us back to our New England childhood!
I want to keep this short and sweet so I will just say, sea salt cottage is as beautiful and relaxing as the pictures make it look! The area of the location is wonderful, the beach is so close, and everything you could possibly need for your stay is at this house. Perfect New England getaway for friends. Beth was so helpful and responsive, and she gave us so many great suggestions. 100% would stay again.
This property was as described in the listing. It was perfect for our family of 4. The house was clean and comfortable. The yard was perfect for playing and relaxing. We particularly enjoyed biking through the nearby DCR property and exploring the different beaches. Thank you for a nice getaway to start the summer!
