About the host
Hosted by Nina and Dave
We are artists and educators and work with youth, elders, and families. We are musicians, artists, tech nerds, and bird, & butterfly lovers (our garden is thankfully always active with these incredible beings!).
We operated a B&B in Maine and had many requests for return visits. While this is not a B&B, we are only an hour away and can easily be at the cottage if you need us or something extra for your visit. We also have a local person who is available. We do not do rental shares. You & your group are the only guests when you are here.

We do not do rental shares. You & your group are the only guests when you are here.
Why they chose this property
Our cottage is used by our family year ‘round and we rent it out when the family is not using it. We knew before we walked in the front door that this was the cottage for us! We have done a lot of renovation and have loved our eclectic treasure hunt adventures. As artists, we are resourceful and have had a great time turning this cottage into our second/retirement home and your home away from home. We think you will enjoy staying here. Most guests have described it as feeling like home. It's close to so many destinations and Onset is a cozy village that you can walk to.
What makes this property unique
Location! Onset is a great place to plan day trips from and is a great place to stay. The cottage's proximity to many east coast destinations (the Cape, RI, Newport, Boston, Providence, New Bedford/Fall River, et al) makes this an ideal vacation launching pad. The neighborhood beach is 100 steps away, and Onset Beach & Village is a short 5-minute walk. We fell in love with the front porch and we placed a comfy couch for long summer naps after walking back from the beach. There are great spots to walk to or (short) drive to for eating, listening to summer concerts, and many outside activities. Onset Beach's bathhouse has been converted into the Buzzards Bay Coalition’s new Bay Discovery Center. https://www.savebuzzardsbay.org/about-us/our-centers-reserves/onset-bay-center/ Fireworks, weekly outdoor movies, and concerts, Cape Verdean Festival, Illumination Night...or quiet evenings on the porch...it's a great place.
