Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Fairhaven

The Mermaid Cottage is located on a quiet property away from high traffic roads. It’s about 5 minutes from the main part of Westport, and less than 15 minutes to Horseneck Beach. What I enjoy about the cottage is it is peaceful, and has everything we need for an enjoyable visit. Thank you Steve!!!!

Our 3rd summer on West Island and this has been our favorite airbnb so far (and one of the others was waterfront!). We felt so at home. It was my husband, me and our two boys (3.5yo and 6 month old). Very clean and comfortable. Only minor issue (for us specifically) is the stairs aren’t very safe for toddlers if you have them sleeping alone in one of the bedrooms. We ended up locking our toddler in the twin room each night so he didn’t walk out and fall down the stairs middle of the night. I realize this is a very specific problem, so this place gets 5 stars from us and we hope to be back again!

The place was incredible. It was beautifully kept and clean down to the sheets and towels. The view is unbelievable of the water right across the road. There is a beautiful park right next to the house if you have little ones that need to run. The kitchen was pristine, with wonderful appliances. The bedroom on the first floor was perfect for my mother-in-law, who can't walk up the steps. She had her own bathroom with a shower to herself. The rest of the bedrooms were upstairs. The beds were so comfortable, you didn't want to get up. She has provided so many extras, like shampoo, conditioner, soap, coffee and creamer. We honestly didn't have to go out to get any supplies. It was pouring when we arrived, and having the ability to open the garage and unload was extremely appreciated. I can't say anything bad about the place, I guarantee you will love it. The next time we are up that way, I will definitely stay again. Thanks so much for your hospitality!!!! Bonnie

Amazing attention to details. This was absolutely the first Airbnb that was better than its photos -- truly impeccable, comfortable and an abundance of all the necessities -- more than ample supply of towels. All of the rooms and furnishings were incredibly comfortable. And I had numerous questions before the trip and every question was answered promptly and thoroughly. We will return -- and highly recommend! Thank you Emily Ruth for being a most gracious and ideal host.

We had a wonderful stay at this beach house. It was exactly as described. Plenty of beach towels, the kitchen is very well stocked with cooking supplies. Perfect spot for our family getaway!! I would definitely stay there again !

We had a great stay. The house was exactly as advertised. Nicole was a great host and she was also very helpful with local recommendations.

We had a lovely stay at Elsa’s place while visiting for Christmas. We enjoyed being able to take walks along the fort each day, and the place was decorated very tastefully! Thanks, Elsa.

We had a wonderful stay! The cottage is cozy, clean, and organized with everything you need. The private lane and beach access is a great plus- our daughter loved walking down to the tide pool in the morning to collect shells and watch the crabs scuttle around. We enjoyed our time at the house and hope to return soon!

I loved this little stay, it was very peaceful and lovely. Matthew was an excellent host and the snacks and breakfast options were a lovely addition to the amenities. Matthew is a really thoughtful and lovely host, I'd love to stay here again on my next visit to Providence/Pawtucket :)

My daughters and I spent the weekend here, and it truly was a perfect stay! We traveled from New Jersey to visit my nephew who lives in New Bedford, and the apartment’s location—just 6 minutes away—couldn’t have been more convenient. The space was spotless and beautifully maintained. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything I needed to prepare a delicious Saturday morning breakfast. The bathroom was impressively spacious, and I have to rave about the towels and bedding—absolutely luxurious! The bath towels, in particular, were divine. I’d love to know where they were purchased so I can get some for my own home. The beds and pillows were exceptionally comfortable, and the thoughtful touches—like the lovely houseplants—gave the apartment a warm, homey feel. I'm so glad I found this gem! I visit the area often and will definitely be booking again. Vania provided clear, detailed instructions and was incredibly responsive throughout our stay. A solid 10 out of 10 across the board!

We had a perfect stay — travelling with a toddler can sometimes be challenging but Debora provided everything we needed to make the stay comfortable (cot, high chair, bath, even cutlery!) and it really felt like a home away from home. The airbnb was spotless, it’s a good location in Fall River walking distance from a playground, parking was super easy, and we loved our stay.

Colin was a great host. We were greeted upon arrival, even though it was later in the evening. Colin showed us around and provided us with several local recommendations during our stay. We were very happy with our accommodations.

Exactly what the description says. Great unit, and had no issues with check in.

This was our second time staying at Carlina's place. It's a lovely apartment attached to the house with a private entrance. Very safe and well-kept, clean and very comfortable. The bed is one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in, and the sofa bed was very comfy too according to my teenage son. Fully equipped kitchen, not to mention the fresh eggs she leaves for her guests from her own chickens. They made for a delightful breakfast with our leftover Portuguese pops (rolls) from Antonio's restaurant (wonderful authentic Portuguese food--go!). Plenty of towels, toilet paper, linens, toiletries, and laundry detergent. Carlina is an extremely responsive host and I will stay with her again! Thank you for everything!

We had such a great stay! The hosts were super accommodating and really attentive to anything we needed. The place was spotless, cozy, and fully stocked with all the essentials (and then some). They went out of their way to make us feel at home, and it honestly made the whole experience so relaxing and enjoyable. We loved everything about our stay and are already looking forward to making this an annual tradition! Tracy Thomas and Drenary Gwynn Baltimore Maryland

This was our second stay and there's a reason we came back! The space is cozy and comfortable - We especially appreciated the easy flexible check in and snacky snacks and coffee. Thank you Norm!

Rob was a great host ! He responded within a timely manner and the place was very clean and felt just like home. I would suggest bringing board games and such for the rainy days. For the folks who enjoy cooking the kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need. I would also recommend renting bikes or taking an Uber if you don't like walking. The walk to town was about 25 minutes. Overall great stay would love you stay her again it gives you the peace and quiet while also being close enough to everything and a beautiful view of the ocean.

Pelham Court was a great stay. Great communication for checking in and checking out as well as during our stay. Very clean! The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. It was great to be able to walk to all the restaurants and the shops. Would definitely recommend staying here.

This apartment was exactly as we hoped! Excellent location on the east side. The place has so much character and was comfortable for all. Had everything we needed for a wonderful weekend.

This place was great! It was wonderful to stay in such a historic building. The apartment was very clean and tidy, the check-in/check-out instructions were very easy, and the host also provided suggestions for nearby restaurants. I definitely recommend this place!

Host was responsive and helpful, instructions were clear. The apartment was clean and very nice, we enjoyed eating dinner on the porch. It was easy to drive to downtown Providence and Gillette Stadium. It was easy to get to and a lot of space for parking (we all arrived mostly separately and there was space to park all 3 cars). Also, we were all very impressed by the shower and the water pressure lol. A great location and great Airbnb!! I would def recommend this spot and would come back! 😊

My family and I loved our stay at Matt’s place. The location is perfect, walking distance to shops and restaurants. The condo is super cleaned and organized. Perfect size for 4 adults and two small dogs. Highly recommended!!!

Amazing stay. Didn’t have to get an Uber once, everything was walkable. Brian communicated consistently.

I cannot recommend Kelly’s place highly enough! Truly the perfect getaway spot. Close to everything and if you just want to relax you feel very much at home!
