About this property
Charming cottage by the sea
Charming waterfront cottage for rent by week or month in historic Guilford, CT. Swim, paddleboard, and kayak from the front of the house; a beautiful, sandy, private beach is just steps away. The house is located in Mulberry Point, a quiet beach community approximately 2.5 miles from the historic Guilford green. Frequently listed as one of Connecticut's prettiest communities, Guilford's "downtown" boasts restaurants, historic homes, boutiques, a book store and library, coffee shops and patisseries. A short car trip will take you to Yale University, the Connecticut river, Gillette castle, Goodspeed Opera House, Mystic Seaport and many more Connecticut landmarks.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Kathy
Why they chose this property
This house has been in our family for nearly 100 years. It is a simple house, the very definition of "cottage." While it is comfortable and beautiful, it is not luxurious. Don't expect granite countertops or high-end amenities - DO expect beautiful sunrises, soothing waves, and good creative vibes, for writers especially. (Our father was a well-known mystery writer and wrote many books here.)
What makes this property unique
You'd have to be on a houseboat to get closer to the water. The view is spectacular, at high tide especially. Kids will love exploring the tidal pools and shell-y sand. Mulberry Point is a quiet, family-oriented neighborhood, so if you're looking for a place to party ... this would not be it.
