About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Waterfront beach house

Beautiful sunsets, quiet private house with a great sea breeze. Private access down to the water, town beach on secluded West Island. Sit in the living room and just watch the water as it takes your worries and turns them into happiness. Once you cross the causeway onto West Island the vibe will be something you will crave. You can access the main town in just a 10 min drive for groceries, restaurants, local coffee/bagel joints as well as some mainstream retailers like Walmart, Staples, Bank of America, and Stop & Shop.

This tranquil home has a master bedroom with a queen sized bed that overlooks the ocean with its own private balcony on the second floor. Across the way is a guest room with a full size bed and down on the main floor is a guest room with two twin beds. Need more space to sleep? Our pull out sleeper can accommodate 2 more guests.

There are 3 bedrooms:
Master: 1 Queen bed
2nd upstairs bedroom: 1 Full bed
Main floor bedroom: (2) Twin beds
Downstairs living room: (1) Full pull out couch.
All beds are brand new and same with couch.

Please note that Arlo cameras are on the property. One facing the driveway, one facing the back deck and water, and one in the basement looking at the sliding door for safety. We do not have them activated when guests are at the home. We only activate them while the home is vacant.

Beautiful view, lovely house & relaxing atmosphere.
We spent a very relaxing week at 22 Balsam. The house was well-stocked and beautifully decorated. The view was the best part. We spent most of our time on the back deck. We loved riding our bikes to the beach!

Delightful all around!
We had such an easy and delightful stay at this house! It is right on the water, and it is a pleasure just sitting on the deck and looking out over the bay and watching the sun set (the house faces west). The house is decorated very well, and has all the amenities anyone would want. It’s a short walk/drive from the beach, which has very few people on it. The hosts took care of our needs, and are very professional. I will definitely book this house again!

Fantastic New England Waterfront House
We had a great trip to Balsam West. Great waterfront home with town beach just a few blocks away. The house was clean, cozy, and very comfortable with amazing views. We had a great trip!

Great getaway to relax and reset
I truly enjoyed my stay here. Fabulously appointed and well-stocked with amenities, I had everything I could want to recharge my batteries right by the water. The views of the sunset across the bay were, by far, my favorite part, and I'm so glad the weather cooperated to afford me those golden hours every day I was there.

Nice escape!
Our stay at this beautiful beach house in Fairhaven was excellent. Very spacious and neatly kept. Couldn't have asked for a better getaway gem of a location that isn't too far or having to deal with Cape Cod traffic!

Can’t wait to come back!
We spent thanksgiving here with our 2 young children (9 months and 3.5 yrs) and had the best time! The house has everything you need and more. We enjoyed cooking together, playing games, watching sunsets and eating amazing pizza from YiaYia’s Pizza Cafe. We spent one day at the beach (short walk) and another day enjoying the museums and cafes in New Bedford. My child was in tears having to say goodbye to this wonderful home. We cannot wait to come back this summer!

Eclipsed the rest!
I took my 92 year old mom to visit her best friend and for a bit of reprieve from a very difficult year. What a perfect retreat! The aesthetic of the cottage is unmatched in my experience or VRBO. The kitchen so well stocked that I was able to pull off a perfect tarte tatin (Made with glorious pears from Farm to Coast in S. Darmouth). The bay-facing doors and generous basket of blankets enabled us to cozy up and watch the total lunar eclipse in total comfort. Brett was kindly and quickly responsive to our questions. As I think has been mentioned by others, this dear place is better in person than in its representation on the website, so I cannot recommend it highly enough.
