Gem in Fairhaven

This was my 2nd stay at this property. Inviting, feels like a home away from home. The property is lovely and has all the amenities you need to stay for a proper vacation. Quiet, but friendly neighborhood. Close to beaches and shopping. Even took in a concert at the Xfinity Center during one of my stays, and the drive was nothing. Finally, can’t beat the breeze while sitting on the porch. Best part of my stay.

A+ in Fairhaven

We loved Saltmarsh. Great deck with ocean views and a gas fireplace for chilly nights. Easy access to the ocean just across the road. Beautiful house—quality design and furnishings. Comfortable with just what you need. Really great for 2 couples. Responsive host. Loved the location too! Great local seafood.

Gem by the Bay

A wonderful property with an amazing view. The home is lovely and the owner thoughtfully provides above and beyond for any vacationing guest. Beautiful and quiet neighborhood. Most accurate description of any property I have booked in sometime. And while the home is beautiful, the porch is the true selling point if you enjoy an evening breeze. I would highly recommend and hope to return next summer!

We've rented many different places in Fairhaven (where I grew up) when visiting from Canada to see family/friends over the years. Julie is THE best Host we have ever encountered here! She addressed every need/request with speed/thoughtfulness/kindness.. from the new AC system adjustment (perfectly running in time for blessed relief from the Heat Dome that hit the area during our stay)..to her patient help w/TV tech..to watch the World Cup. Saltmarsh is more than conveniently located to anything you might need/want to do in the area. The magnificent Fairhaven Town Beach on West Island is just a 10-min ride down Sconticut Neck Rd (Julie kindly provided a parking pass). To our delight, 2nd-fl deck (front corner)provided unexpected privacy with its view of ocean/small section of beach across the street. The neighborhood is quiet with lots of dog-walkers(all using leashes). Very family-friendly area. Saltmarsh is just as pictured online. Very clean. Beautiful decor. Plenty of room w/comfortable seating & beds, lg dining table for family/guests, fast new W&D, whisper-quiet DW. We even watched the coastal area July4th fireworks from Inside in AC ! I will advise, if you are old/have balance issues: the number of stairs, outside and in, may be challenging (But there are sturdy wood railings on all stairways). We were so lucky to stay at Saltmarsh this time visiting & meet Julie/Joe when they came to help w/AC & w/our old-people tech issues. Wonderful folks and wonderful place!

Cute

Cute house, good location. Neighborhood is very quiet and nice. A live band played one night, 2 doors down, we sat outside and listened for a while. Once we went inside we never heard it. We came from Texas and brought the miserable heat with us. There is no central air but window units for the bedrooms. They didn’t keep up well with the heat but the bedroom was bearable. Sitting downstairs was a definite not happening. We did end up moving the a/c from the bedroom we weren’t using, downstairs and that helped very little. The shower felt amazing. The town was super cute and we enjoyed it.

Hi Tierra, thank you for your review and for staying with us at Saltmarsh! For us as hosts, clear communication and prompt responses are key to ensuring our guests have a great stay. When you book with us, we make sure everything is laid out in detail and that includes that the house has window units, not a central air system. I do apologize that it was hot, being that it was in August that is our hottest month of the year here in MA so I certainly do understand. I do wish that you had reached out to me during your stay, as I am always available for our guests, and I could have better accommodated the warmer conditions by providing you with more window units to help in cooling the house down. I know it’s tough when it’s hot out and that it’s never comfortable when the temps get too high. It’s equally as tough to help resolve problems that arise if we are never made aware. Should you choose to stay with us in the future or at another rental, please reach out to the host so we can help make your stay more enjoyable as that is why we are here! Best wishes in your future travels!
