If you were looking for a reasonably priced no-frills close to the water cottage, this is it! The price is right although the beds aren’t great ( I bought a topper for 50 bucks at Walmart) And they have everything you need for a stay on the Long Island sound. I would say this is more of a weekly choice than a monthly, I was there for a month and was longing for a little more luxury. The owners are great however, and it is clean and you have all the basics. Definitely in a safe, quiet, friendly neighborhood. A mix of year-round and weekend people,Old Lyme is much better than old Saybrook, in my opinion. There is a local pub called Lenny’s two blocks away, I didn’t even find it till I been there for two weeks. Don’t miss it as youCan walk to it on the beach and it’s full of local color. I liked Old Lyme for restaurants and shopping, coffees is the local gourmet food market and is a morning scene for breakfast.All in all, I highly recommend this little find.
