Westport wins again !
This was our 2nd time staying on this beautiful property. Can’t beat the location and the peaceful nature of the neighborhood helps all of us relax at the end of a day on the beach. Scenic and quiet. Our hosts are extremely communicative and made us feel at home.

Westport Gem!
We had the best week! The house is cozy and comfortable. The deck and porch provide the BEST views of the Westport River. The location of the house is so convenient and an easy drive to anything you need. Communication with the hosts was great and easy. We hope to book this house again next time we come back to the area! Highly recommend

Great setting and views. Nice quiet neighborhood. Easy checkin. Clean. Kitchen was well stocked. Our only issue was the steps were very steep and we didn’t notice that in the listing.

This property is great for multi age families. Our family shared the main floor but we had top and lower level sleeping areas that worked out nice. The yard is wonderful and spacious especially when little ones need to play off energy. Its a very quiet neighborhood and centrally located.

Nice house and location!
We spent a lot of time relaxing on the deck with the calming water view. In the heat of the day, the shadier screened in porch was a nice option. The house is well air conditioned, which was great. Horseneck beach is a short drive - We also took walks at Allens Pond Wildlife sanctuary at the end of Horseneck Road. Farmland stretches all along the road to the beach. There are plenty of small produce stands throughout the area, cute shops, cafes, and restaurants in Westport and Little Compton. We love the area and had an excellent stay in Chris and Laure’s place!

Lovely vacation
The house is just as advertised and the view is amazing. Kayaking and paddleboarding out to the island in the river was a highlight for the teens. Worth renting a SUP or kayak from Osprey for the week. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful views and Nature all around!
This is a comfortable quiet house that makes you feel at home the minute you walk in. Living-dining areas open and airy and perfect for hanging out. Drawback for my self and 3 friends was that only one twin bedroom is located on main floor. Master is up one flight and 3 beds are in a finished basement area which is damp and chilly. A working humidifier runs constantly and must be emptied 3 times per day. Both bathrooms are only accessible via stairs including one basement stair which is quite steep. We were 4 ladies in our 70’s so this feature was not the best. If you are in this age group and are not comfortable with stairs then this house is not for you. Otherwise it was a lovely stay and a welcome retreat from the pace of NYC.

River view cottage
This spacious house is bright, open and with wonderful views up and down the Westport River. We appreciated the extra sitting areas as well as the sunny deck and covered screen porch. This location was perfect for my husband and grown children since we were visiting with extended family nearby. A beautiful spot.

Amazing views from a cozy home
Can’t say enough about the tantalizing views of Westport River from the comforts of this cozy home! There was ample space to spread out or gather. The house was well-kept and amply supplied. Chris welcomed us warmly and responded promptly to our questions. Commune with nature in the surrounding beaches and trails. Enjoyed our week in Westport!

Great location, great house.
We had a wonderful stay. The deck and porch are lovely. The house is spacious and comfortable. The central air was much appreciated on a couple of humid days, but mostly the breeze from the river was delightful at night. Since it was just the two of us, we were able to leave the downstairs bathroom, that can be accessed through the downstairs screen porch, available for day guests and socially distanced visits. (Hopefully that won’t remain a plus for too much longer.)

A lovely location for a restful stay
We had a lovely week in Westport! The house has beautiful views of the Westport River and a deck and screened-in porch to enjoy them from. The master bedroom is lovely and the living/dining room very comfortable. Please read the house description to understand the layout--there is a steep staircase and no bathroom on the main level--fine for us, but could be an issue for those with mobility issues. Chris was very responsive answering questions before booking and with guidance about a minor issue that arose during our stay. We highly recommend renting kayaks and gear from Osprey, who will deliver. Also the Friday night concerts at Westport River Winery for just $15 per carload. Town Hill Farm and Allen's Pond have lovely walks. Westport is a great base for day trips to New Bedford, Newport, Plymouth, the Cape and Martha's Vineyard.

About the host

Hosted by Chris or Laure Mulrooney

Host profile image
We are natives of the area, raised in Bristol County, Massachusetts and Bristol County, Rhode Island. Chris came home to Westport after going away to college and grad school, and Westport became home for Laure 10 years later when we married. Originally our "honeymoon cottage," this is the home where we started our family for the first five years of our life together. After we moved to Michigan and now Florida, our Westport home became the place for our extended family gatherings at least once or twice a year. In-between, it has been a place where we've been able to share the beauty and tranquility of Westport with so many other families through VRBO. We have always seen this home as a gift of the Lord, to be shared as He sees fit. "By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches." (Proverbs 24:3-4)

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood of "Islands View Acres" is such a quiet and relaxing place to enjoy the beauty of nature and the fellowship of friends and family. The house is set on a hill, giving a bird's eye view of the estuary known as the East Branch of the Westport River. It is also tucked to one side of the neighborhood, abutting open land on the south. In the winter, this affords amazing views all the way down the river. Westport itself is an oasis of rural beauty and ocean influence, off the beaten path.

What makes this property unique

The house is on three levels, which affords three private spaces for families to spread out. It also has a big backyard, two porches (an open sun deck and a screened-in porch), and deeded water access to the estuary via a pier and boat launch.
