Fabulous host and house

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!!

Perfect beach getaway

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!

Lovely cottage

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!

About the host

Hosted by Beth Millar & Steve Miller

Husband and wife team who love to turn around that worn down old house, old cottage or old camp and create a space filled with attention to all the little things. We find so much joy in planting flowers and trees and watching them grow around our yard. Well, I get the plants and place them and Steve ends up planting and digging way more than I do. Lol. Steve loves architecture, building and creating new spaces and I love designing and decorating and searching for unique treasures. Together we have created Sea Salt Cottage .

Why they chose this property

I, Beth sell real estate, and I am always asking my husband Steve to just look at this one property with me. I grew up in Maine near the oceans and lakes and water of any type has drawn me to it . I decided to look for ocean property anywhere before the bridges of Cape Cod. I didn't want to deal with the traffic of the Cape. I saw a listing that read, do you want to live on an island? West island is all the great feelings you had growing up as child where summers were endless. I wanted to create an atmosphere that bought back the whimsy of a childhood, the time worn love of all things old, the pure radiance of color in all things new, in a place where all around you created a peaceful ocean mood . My design started with the custom hand blown lights in the kitchen created for me from Providence Art Glass and just evolved from the colors blown into this glass and all the items I searched for and found along the way. It was so exciting to see this house transform into what you will find today.

What makes this property unique

When I travel I always look and love to find the unique place with all the little details that together form exactly what I dreamed about or imagined from that great book, a place where my family and I would look back in years to come and remember that was a perfect beach house and an amazing vacation holiday. This is my wish for you.
