Everything was perfect
The location of the cottage was in a lovely neighborhood with easy access to the private beaches as well as ocean beach. The cottage was spacious enough for my teens to each have their own space. The outdoor patio was lovely and added additional space. The hosts communicated well and left recommendations of area restaurants. Cottage was clean and ready for our arrival with the added touch of fresh flowers. Would definitely stay here again

Why they chose this property
We discovered the CT shoreline almost by accident, driving around New England looking for the unspoiled Cape Cod and Long Island of our respective childhoods. We searched in Massachusetts, Maine, into Rhode Island— and stumbled across the state line into the hidden gem that is seaside Southern Connecticut. It was love at first sight.
