Lovely Riverside Retreat
Spectacular sunsets enjoyed from a spacious deck were a highlight of this large, well-equipped home. Great location with easy access to beach and village amenities. Chris and Laure were excellent hosts!

Westport River
This property is great for multi age families. Our family shared the main floor but we had top and lower level sleeping areas that worked out nice. The yard is wonderful and spacious especially when little ones need to play off energy. Its a very quiet neighborhood and centrally located.

Lovely vacation
The house is just as advertised and the view is amazing. Kayaking and paddleboarding out to the island in the river was a highlight for the teens. Worth renting a SUP or kayak from Osprey for the week. Would definitely stay again.

Wonderful Westport
Westport is always a place for us to go and rest and be restored. This was the first time we stayed at this property and hope we will be able to make this our go to place every year.

Beautiful views and Nature all around!
This is a comfortable quiet house that makes you feel at home the minute you walk in. Living-dining areas open and airy and perfect for hanging out. Drawback for my self and 3 friends was that only one twin bedroom is located on main floor. Master is up one flight and 3 beds are in a finished basement area which is damp and chilly. A working humidifier runs constantly and must be emptied 3 times per day. Both bathrooms are only accessible via stairs including one basement stair which is quite steep. We were 4 ladies in our 70’s so this feature was not the best. If you are in this age group and are not comfortable with stairs then this house is not for you. Otherwise it was a lovely stay and a welcome retreat from the pace of NYC.

About the host

Hosted by Chris or Laure Mulrooney

Host profile image
We are natives of the area, raised in Bristol County, Massachusetts and Bristol County, Rhode Island. Chris came home to Westport after going away to college and grad school, and Westport became home for Laure 10 years later when we married. Originally our "honeymoon cottage," this is the home where we started our family for the first five years of our life together. After we moved to Michigan and now Florida, our Westport home became the place for our extended family gatherings at least once or twice a year. In-between, it has been a place where we've been able to share the beauty and tranquility of Westport with so many other families through VRBO. We have always seen this home as a gift of the Lord, to be shared as He sees fit. "By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches." (Proverbs 24:3-4)

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood of "Islands View Acres" is such a quiet and relaxing place to enjoy the beauty of nature and the fellowship of friends and family. The house is set on a hill, giving a bird's eye view of the estuary known as the East Branch of the Westport River. It is also tucked to one side of the neighborhood, abutting open land on the south. In the winter, this affords amazing views all the way down the river. Westport itself is an oasis of rural beauty and ocean influence, off the beaten path.

What makes this property unique

The house is on three levels, which affords three private spaces for families to spread out. It also has a big backyard, two porches (an open sun deck and a screened-in porch), and deeded water access to the estuary via a pier and boat launch.
