The family is already talking about 2026 Beach house vacation! Being from Fairhaven originally makes the availability of Leeward Way extraordinarily special. The neighbors are friendly, and we help remove seaweed from the beach during the week. There are many restaurants, but we usually prefer bringing seafood to cook at the house.

Times of Donald

Time was spent doing what Donald P Leaver would want us to do, just by simply spending time together.We enjoyed a classic clam boil where the kitchen was amazing.We played crochet where the yard was way too fun to set this up the traditional way.This place was located directly across from downtown NB where our beloved Dad dedicated his work life to Com-electric..

Views and water access is the best part.

Excellent location and beautiful views. Had difficulty contacting the property owner to get into the house. Overall cleanliness is lacking given the price you pay.

Wish we could stay longer!

Can’t wait to go back next year! The home and location are perfect for our extended family vacation. Everything is clean, the kitchen is well supplied for cooking meals on site with enough seating inside and on the deck. The ocean view of the bay is perfect for pictures and memories. Thank you for a great vacation 2024.

Great spot on the beach, nice area and nice hosts

We had a great time. The best thing about the property was that it was unlike most rentals because everything worked as described. I don't think even one item was a disappointment. It had good dishes, working utilities, good furniture, enough bathrooms, it was well-supplied with everything. We left some stuff behind to accomodate for stuff we used. the pictures were good and not deceptive. It could use AC, but being on the beach the need is less than elsewhere. Our hosts were nice and did not bother us, it was a very pleasant place to stay for a week and relax with the family. The beach is actually 100 feet away, but there were not other properties between the beach and the house and the place was very private. Thanks, Don

Fantastic Beachfront Location

The location was very convenient to everything! The views are incomparable!! Panoramic views of the bay; just gorgeous. The only downfall was that the cleaning was lacking. Cobwebs everywhere; left over soap bars and containers in the showers as well as mold on the shower curtain. Woken up by the smoke alarm going off at 5 am found a spider inside that caused alarm to go off. Had two more instances of spiders one in my bed at 5:30 am and another dropping from the ceiling on me in the kitchen. Just think the cleaning crew needs a pep talk to get the place ready better. Towels were old and very worn. Also found the request to wash and dry linens and towels before the 10am checkout to be unrealistic.
