'Little Neck' ~ Where The Slocum River Meets Buzzards Bay ~ 7 Acres!

'Little Neck' is situated on 7 acres of pristine preserve with arguably the most spectacular view of Buzzards Bay looking down the Slocum River. Ospreys, striped bass, sailing, kayaking, swimming, bird watching - a rare piece of Heaven on the South Coast of Massachusetts.

Our spacious New England summer home (now winterized) invites you to sit on the large porch with the above spectacular view, or in the lovely sunroom with picture window views of the river and the bay, binoculars included!

The privacy and comfort of the four en suite bedrooms provides an enjoyable stay for a group of family and friends. The dining room table with its water view seats ten for an easy and delicious dinner of corn-on-the-cob and fresh fish prepared on the large gas grill on the east terrace.

The evening can be spent exploring the large library in the living room, stocked with novels, field guides, TV, movies, and games.

The rental property is the spacious and prominent upper two floors of a large, three-story hillside house; the main rental entry is on ground level. The lower floor apartment, situated below the hill, is occupied by one of the sisters with separate entry and rear parking area. Renters have complete privacy and the lay of the land allows both units to co-exist wonderfully.

Nearby activities include:
-Breakfast, lunch at Davoll's Store & Cafe 5 minutes away,
- swim & fish from our pier, or across the river at the Demarest Lloyd State Park
- rent kayaks to cruise the river
- moor your small sail boat or motor boat on our pier.
- hike on the Lloyd Center for the Environment trails nearby.
- explore historic New Bedford and its Whaling Museum
- shop in the picturesque villages of Westport and Padanaram
- enjoy the art scene this summer in Providence, RI: Waterfire Providence
- tour the mansions in Newport, RI
- sample wine & beer at Westport Winery & Buzzards Bay Brewing
- take the one-hour ferry service to Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket
- enjoy a day trip to Cape Cod
- - attend live theatre and music at the Zeiterion Theatre in New Bedford
- hike on the many trails of the Dartmouth Natural Resources Trust land.

Our guests say:
“ My dad calls the view of the Slocum from the porch 'the lagoon of tranquility' and gazing upon it always has a calming effect…. Thanks to the sisters for keeping LN going and sharing this magical place with us!”

“Thank you for sharing your most beautiful place …we hiked, we biked, kayaked and enjoyed swimming daily and catching up with each other – we loved the privacy and serenity of this very magical place; we leave relaxed and refreshed! Thanks for the home-baked cookies upon arrival and all your generosity. We’d love to return someday. Many, many thanks!”

Perfect - Quiet, Beautiful Getaway

We loved our stay at Little Neck. Everything was spotless when we arrived and the comprehensive house book made sure we didn't have any questions about the house and the area - from A to Z. We enjoyed walking around the property and relaxing on the porch with a beverage. The views are to die for! There are lots of books to read and a piano for those who play. And each bedroom has a private bathroom. I only wish we could have stayed longer! We can't wait to come back!

Awesome stay at Little Neck

We had a fantastic time at Little Neck. The cottage exceeded our expectations. It was huge, immaculate, had a very well stocked kitchen and met all of our needs. The decor and family pictures gave the cottage a very homey, charming feeling, as if we had been invited to a friend's home for a bit of a summer's respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The homemade cookies which greeted us were a welcoming and thoughtful touch. We loved sitting on the porch, enjoying the solitude and peacefulness of the area along with all the wildlife that was present. The views of the river/bay from inside the cottage were spectacular. It seemed as if we were far removed from civilization, even though restaurants and grocery stores were an easy 15-20 min drive away. Simply put, Little Neck was a peace of heaven on earth, and we considered ourselves very fortunate to have found such a place for our stay in June 2021!

Loved our 3-day stay at Little Neck for many reasons. Delightful historic family home, stunning view at the edge of a pristine ocean inlet, marsh grasses of changing color all day. Great birding, array of boats, locals fishing,, Surrounding towns interesting and fun.

Perfect in every way

The South Shore of Massachusetts is a great place to visit - so many interesting places to hike and kayak and shop and eat and explore....And then to be able to go back to Little Neck and sit on the porch that looks over the mouth of the Slocum River out to Buzzards Bay and the Elizabeth Islands. I can't imagine any place nicer than that!

Little Neck is a serene vacation spot, surrounded on two sides by water and the other two by woods. We loved sitting in the living room or on the front patio looking out at the scenery. We will be back for sure.
