Perfect for our party of 6 adults with various interests: musicians needing to practice, readers, cooks, bird watchers, artists, writers. Plenty of space to conduct these activities simultaneously. Loved sitting on the front deck for meals and sunsets. Enjoyed taking the kayaks and row boat out in the cove. Super quiet and private. Great location: a short drive to farm stands, seafood stores, restaurants, beaches etc… great hosts

This place is even more beautiful than the photos. We enjoyed a week in July with lovely breezes off the water and into the house. The house has everything you need and a very comfy living room. But what we loved most was the big deck in the back looking out over the water. I did yoga every morning on the balcony off the master bedroom, again with a beautiful water view. The owners live in another house on the property but respected our privacy while always being quick to respond to our questions. The nearby beach, Roundhill, was far less crowded than the Cape Cod beaches we typically go to. It is tucked into a natural setting — pristine and devoid of commercial development. There is a charming general store/bookstore/cafe not far (by car) from the house. We also found a great farm stand for fresh corn. I would definitely rent this house again. It’s a great place to melt your stress away.

beautiful view from all windows and especially from the deck; peaceful, quiet surroundings; great canoeing; comfortable house; farms and fish stores with fresh food, beaches, nature walks; not very touristy, but close to interesting cities; wonderful landlords, in the house next door, available when we needed them, but never in the way!

Beautiful Property and Perfect Hosts

We thoroughly enjoyed our two week stay at this peaceful and lovely home on the Little River. The home is very nice and has everything one needs. The views are so tranquil and stunning. We loved the back deck! Susan and Charlie are great people and make sure that we had an enjoyable stay. A perfect retreat on the Southcoast!

Wonderful spot, something for all to enjoy

The house was very comfortable for our group of 6, with activities for everyone at the house (kayaking, walking and nature watching, tennis/pickleball, movies, cooking, etc.) and in the area (beach, shops, the whaling museum was great). Hosts very friendly and available to answer questions and give advice. Highly recommended.

Peace and quiet at it’s best

We had an amazing time! The views from just about every room of the well appointed and comfortable home are nothing short of spectacular. The soft breeze that blows in off the water smells wonderful, the birds are incredible, I’ve never seen so many snowy egrets!!! And Susan and Charlie couldn’t have been more gracious and accommodating. They are fantastic hosts. We will definitely be back!

Serene, beautiful, relaxing

This property was everything we hoped for! The house is beautiful. The hosts are so friendly and helpful. But the real reason for going is the back yard and deck with the incredible water view and dock. The huge deck is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet, including stunning sunsets. There are so many interesting birds and other animals to see. You can kayak or canoe with all the provided gear. There are beaches nearby, plus trails, shops, restaurants...everything. I highly recommend visiting Dartmouth!

Lovely Location, so beautiful

Everyone in our group agreed this is a lovely place to stay on a family vacation. Our extended family was scattered in four locations in Dartmouth - three with views of ocean - but everyone was charmed by this salt marsh site - the serenity, the wildlife, the view. Regrettably we did not have time to use the kayaks. I have always wanted to kayak there and silently observe all the animals and soak up the ambiance - wish my family had a chance to do that but our days were too busy. Next time we will block off time to enjoy the house and surroundings!

On the water in South Dartmouth

We had a wonderful weeklong stay at Susan and Charlie's house in South Dartmouth. Check in was easy as they live in the house next door. The hosts are super friendly and immediately took care of a couple of simple issues when they came up. The house is located on a small peninsula on the Little River. Two kayaks and two canoes were available for our use and we paddled daily to see the numerous birds (ospreys, egrets, herons among others). We also paddled out at low tide to the sand bar at the mouth of the Slocums River. The house was very clean and comfortable and as described in the listing. We really enjoyed the peaceful week on the South Coast.

This is a one-of-a-kind experience. The quiet exclusion on the estuary provides a nature getaway like no other. The tennis court is in great shape and provides a unique backdrop. The hosts live in the neighboring house and are welcoming and responsive. I would strongly recommend this house for anyone who a peaceful vacation near the ocean.

Stunning location, comfortable home

Our family was gathering in Dartmouth for a wedding (no children) and this home was a perfect spot to do so. The outdoor spaces and views are exceptional. Even though the land is shared by the hosts, it's very private. The bedrooms are comfortable. The house have everything you could need, we appreciated the ratio of bathrooms to guests. Our hosts were lovely and very responsive. My husband and I took the kayaks out to the sandbar at the mouth of the river and loved exploring the estuary this way. We enjoyed our stay very much.

wonderful location

The views from the deck are terrific--peaceful, beautiful, and natural, free of man-made distractions. Being able to kayak on Little River is wonderful. The house easily accommodated two couples and one toddler, although the second bedroom for adults is MUCH less spacious than the master bedroom. The hosts are attentive but not intrusive.

Best Vacation Spot!!!

If you are looking for a very quite place to stay and be on the water, this is the place. Beautiful salt marsh, full of wildlife and next to the ocean. Sue and Charlie are very attentive to the needs of their guests. They went above and beyond to make our stay the best it could be. All the amenities of home. We had a great time. Will be coming back someday.

This house is in an unbelievable spot, directly on an estuary leading to the sea. We kayaked almost every day, up the Little River, or out to an extensive sandbar in the ocean where we could pull up our kayaks, walk and swim. Susan and Charlie are next door. They are kind and very responsive when questions arise. But they were also very sensitive to privacy. We loved our stay.

We felt like we at our own private nature reserve. Morning kayak outings, birds galore, a dock to fish from, and spectacular sunsets. Indoors, there are so many windows that you never feel far from the outdoors. The house was roomy and comfortable and clean. Susan was friendly, helpful, responsive, and offered suggestions for everything we needed, from beach-going to grocery-shopping. A wonderful stay at a fantastic spot.
