Comfy Cottage on the Sound

Old-fashioned cottage with modern updates, just a short walk from the beach. Quiet, friendly neighborhood. The hosts take good care of their guests! My favorite part was the view from the back deck, which looks out into a grassy marsh and small river, complete with several osprey checking out a nesting platform. Look forward to staying here again!

Fishing Charter

I and a group of friends stayed at Scott and Mary-Jo's VRBO for a fishing charter we had in Old Saybrook. We were very satisfied with our stay and the VRBO itself. They even made us homemade banana bread! Would highly recommend this VRBO.

Peaceful and Relaxing

The quiet friendly community, the short walk to the ocean, the peaceful back yard that looked on to the marsh and tidal river, the sight of boats, the walks on the nearby sand bars, the comfortable and well stocked cottage, and the accommodating hosts are all great reasons to recommend this cottage as a great place to stay near Old Saybrook.

Mother/Daughter Bliss

We couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather or a more serene location to get away from the daily hustle and bustle. The owners gave fantastic suggestions to make the best of our stay, and were a blessing when we accidentally got locked out. The banana bread was a pleasant addition to greet us on our arrival and the neighborhood was welcoming. We absolutely loved our mothers/daughters vacation!

Nice and tidy, easy to follow instructions, great layout. The weather was a little cold so we did not use the grill or back deck.

Great location, clean and updated. We really appreciated gift of banana bread.

Loved the house, and neighborhood, it's so close to the beach. Also the view from the back of the house was awesome, with a really nice deck. The house had beach chairs for our use. The kids enjoyed the out door shower. The banana bread was delicious and very thoughtful. Communication with the owners was excellent.

Relaxed and Refreshed

We had a great time staying at this quiet cottage. The owners communicated well, the neighbors were friendly, the cottage was clean and the sunsets were beautiful. Being able to walk to the beach was ideal so we could come and go based on the tide. Hoping this continues to be a rental that we can escape to each year. Thank you Mary-Jo and Scott!

Good to be home

After growing up in the area and returning many years later, it was a pleasure to take in the area from such a beautiful vantage point on the marsh at Great Hammock Beach. Really appreciate Scott, the owner responding to my asking if the property had a fire pit by dropping off a large Solo stove with firewood for our enjoyment. That is truly Great Hammock hospitality!

Perfect Location

We needed to be able to accommodate extra family members to help celebrate a Yale graduate. Location was perfect. Everything you could need was available. The owners even left us banana bread. Nice touch. Even though it rained for most of our time there, we still enjoyed our stay. Next time, we hope to partake at the beach.

cute cottage and great location

Booked this for a 6 day stay. Was the perfect size for me and my husband, and his nephew stayed a couple of nights as well. Location is perfect, being steps from the ocean and a short walk to Harvey's Beach. You will need to bring linens, but the property manager will let you know ahead of time. Also, the shower temperature is backwards, just move the handle until it gets hot :)
