Lovely family cottage, great location
We really enjoyed our stay. Beds, linens, towels all super comfortable. Kitchen bright and useful. Bathrooms spotless. 2 minute walk to cute beach. Tons of stuff to do in the area. Great, private backyard well appointed with portable fire pit, grill, furniture. Lots of kid games and books and puzzles in house. Need functional carbon monoxide detector.

Quiet spot, centrally located
This home had all the basics and was thoughtfully furnished. Our daughters enjoyed building with the provided legos and doing puzzles during our downtime. You can easily walk to the beach or to many places in town. The location is a bit tricky to find though and there is only room to park two normal Sized vehicles.This wasn’t a problem for us, but just beware if you have multiple people coming.

Great vacation. . . .
We had a great week here. Owner was communicative and kind. House is adorable--my favorite spot was the corner shelves-lots of playthings for the 3yr and 20 month old babies and many, many reading choices for me. Fully stocked kitchen-something I am greatly appreciative of; while we didn't use it, the attic bedroom getaway would be really cool for older children; a short and very pleasant walk to the very kid-friendly beach, and neighbors and locals who were kind, friendly and helpful. Perfect weather did not hurt the experience either. Try it out-you won't be disappointed.

Warm welcoming and comfortable
We stayed here for a sisters weekend. The place is so comfortable and clean. Even more spacious then the pictures show. Well appointed with plenty of places to lounge around. Kitchen had everything, there were plenty of towels and the beds were very comfortable. The fireplace was a welcome place to warm up as the night got very chilly on the early spring nights. We walked to the beach in 3 minutes. Drove to Old Saybrook for a stroll down town, visited several antique and thrift stores and ate both a fabulous lunch and dinner at some of the many choices nearby. Just a great weekend. We will be back!
