We had 4 adults and one teen in our party. The house was clean and very spacious -- the photos do not do it justice. It was oceanfront -- just what we wanted.The sunroom is open to the kitchen and we spent much of our time there, and the living room is very big, which you cannot tell from the photos. The host supplied plenty of towels and washcloths, paper towels and toilet paper. The deck had a table with an umbrella and 6 chairs and we ate out there almost every night (after having appetizers on the upper deck). The host provided 5-gal containers of water since the water from the tap is not potable. We've done rentals like that in the past, so that was fine. The water from the tap - for showering and doing laundry-- had a reddish brown color. Maybe from lots of iron. It was ok for us for a week, but if you are staying longer it might discolor your white laundry items. We've been renting a house in various locations in the summer for 17 years in a row and my husband said this was the best location of any of them!
This is THE house to stay in if you like family privacy, seaside access to the beach, and great amenities while still somehow being in the center of it all.
For my wife and I, who are nature lovers who also like to fish, the short walk to the Gooseneck preserve was an unexpected huge benefit.
The host was very responsive and helpful throughout.
This was our second stay at this amazing property. There is plenty of room to spread out and it is as close to the beach as you can get. We look forward to our next visit!
We loved our stay at Westport beach. The house was right on the beach and we had fun building sand castles right in the yard, and walking on Gooseberry island right beside the house. The neighborhood was nice and safe and checking in was super easy. We also really liked sitting on the balcony in the mornings to eat. Richard was great to work with. Thank you!
We had a wonderful time at the beach house.
The views were amazing and the house is very comfortable. The property manager was very easy to work with and the house was very clean.
If you are looking for a relaxing away from it all vacation you will not be disappointed.
Waves lulling you to sleep each night, a back deck with a gentle breeze, plenty of space and an ideal location. Easy walk to Gooseberry Island and Horseneck Beach. Lovely location and home.
Great location right on the beach! Beach wasn't more rocky than other beaches in the area, no waves, but less seawead. House was nice. Good size for ~4 people. Richard was very responsive. Would stay again.
The Beach House was a perfect place for my family to meet for some catching up. The house itself was immaculate and well decorated. We loved sitting on the beach and the back deck absorbing the gorgeous view while listening to the crashing waves. My entire family would like to make this vacation a yearly thing and we all feel that we would rent this beach home again.
Very lovely house and location directly on the beach. Owners are thoughtful in what they provide, responsive , and courteous hosts.
Pleasant rambling interior that allows privacy or gathering. Very clean. Incredible views.
Great restaurants close by. I have absolutely nothing negative to add. Highly recommend all around.
The location of this house is amazing. Right on the ocean in a pretty quiet part of Westport. It is a beautiful walk to Horseneck Beach or Gooseberry Island. If I could give the location more than five stars, I would. Also the house, while it has a quirky layout, is really usable space. We were five adults and the bedrooms are all spaced in a way to allow for privacy from each other. And, while the house only has 1.5 baths, the existence of the half bath (and relaxed vacation schedules) makes the bathroom set up quite workable. The only downside to this house is how the kitchen is stocked. The basic appliances are there, but it was not stocked with enough cooking or eating basics. In fact, there were just four coffee cups, three full size plates, and only plastic "Solo" cups for drinking. There were stacks of paper plates which I assume the owners want us to use, but I really don't want to eat off paper plates multiple nights in a row. I do appreciate that the owner may not want breakable plates and glasses in a beach rental, but there is plenty of nice plastic/chinet out there. We ended up going to the store and purchasing nice picnic plates and glasses that we brought home with us. So, bottom line,
we would be happy to go back to this house but would pack our own kitchen supplies and enjoy dinner on the beautiful deck. But, if you are someone who mostly eats out anyway, no concerns -- enjoy the unbeatable location.
This property was exactly what I envisioned. I grew up nearby and needed to capture old memories. Our stay was perfect in every way. Ocean breezes, salty air, collecting sea glass and shells, campfires, enjoying old friends and family. It was absolutely perfect we will return! The host was amazing and very prompt in to attend to our needs. The house was wonderful in every way. We loved the layout of the house and all of our needs were met. I highly recommend this home and I cook forward to next year.
Great views and beach access in a large traditional cottage. Spent most of our time on deck or beach when home. Beach is rocky so surf shoes recommended. Left the windows open most of the time for great ocean breeze but AC units are installed throughout. Property management was easy to work with and very responsive.
Location, location, location. That's what this place is all about. I brought my morning coffee out on the beach, steps from the back door, and I could hear the waves lapping at night. It's all very tranquil. The house is not luxurious, the layout is a little funky, bathrooms are minuscule, but it is very comfortable (especially the beds!).
Large, clean , quiet, well-stocked home on private, but rocky, beach
Large, clean , quiet, well-stocked home. We did not use the large living room as it was distant to the kitchen and deck. The beach and water line are very rocky so water shoes are a must and, of course, we didn't bring any. This should be clearly specified in the description. Overall we had a very nice time and everyone slept well. Window/floor air conditioners worked well. Gooseberry Island down the road was very nice and is a beach alternative.
We had a great time at this property on East Beach in Westport, MA. The house, while very rustic, is very clean, great views of the water, AC in every room if needed, and right on the beach. The waves lulled us to sleep every night. We had three at the house which worked well for us. The house is quite roomy - certainly for 3 - and we really didnât use two of the bedrooms and the living room. We did use the deck and kitchen a lot, of course. Our weather was wonderful. What is not appreciated is the water our front is warmer than the normal ocean water because it is Buzzardâs Bay, and the area - Westport and Dartmouth have great hikes/ bikeways/ waterways. Wonderful area to explore. We had a lot of fun. While some may not like the presence of RVâs nearby on the beach it did not bother us since the house is positioned to view the water, the deck, and the wild grass. Great place to relax, and there are two very good restaurants only 5 minutes away.
We had a splendid time at this beach house. Foir bedrooms allowed for everyone to have their own space. Host was very responsive. We will definitely stay again.
