Perfect spot for a reunion.

The house is fresh, spacious and on the water. The town itself is very small but that is a plus. It’s a perfect place for a family retreat and the pace of life relaxed. Good beaches all around and only an hour from JFK. What more could one want!

In love with Rowayton!

We had six family members for a wedding in Darien and this was a beautiful home on the river with a large deck and main room in which to gather. It was spotless and offered all the kitchen amenities we needed. The property manager was SO helpful and responsive! She went above and beyond to help us during our special weekend. Our best VRBO experience by far!
