About this property

Chic Coastal Retreat with Short Walk to Beach

Welcome to a beautiful and newly updated retreat in a cozy beachside community. Tucked into a quiet corner, you will only be a short walk to Soundview Beach, restaurants, ice cream, and the historic Old Lyme Carousel. Includes everything you need for a beach day - towels, chairs, toys, and a caddy! Great for a relaxing and comfortable stay on the charming shoreline of Connecticut.

THE SPACE:
Guests have access to the entire home inside and out, including a large and inviting teak outdoor dining table that comfortably seats 6. In addition, there is a lower level patio with ample seating to relax- a bench with a built in table for food, beverages, etc. There is a teak sectional couch and coffee table as well as a grill and chiminea. In-ground solar lights surround the patio, creating a warm and inviting environment. There is an outdoor shower next the deck which is wonderful for showering off after a long day at the beach. A few outdoor games are provided as well, including volleyball, badminton, and cornhole which you can play in the small grassy backyard.

This cozy cottage feels open and spacious with an open floor plan and beautiful beams accentuating the ceiling. The living room is a serene space, with a sofa and 2 comfortable lounge chairs to relax in. In the cabinet below the tv, you will find games, books, and art materials for rainy days or evening entertainment. Included in the space is a round pedestal table that seats 4, and a breakfast bar in the kitchen that seats an additional 2. The large and spacious kitchen has everything you'll need to cook a meal, including pots, pans, cooking utensils, etc.

You will find the washer and dryer in the kitchen as well. A bonus sunroom off the front of the home adds even more seating, with a wicker chair and sofa for you to enjoy your morning coffee or evening drink. There are hooks located on the wall of the sunroom for guests to hang their towels from the beach, and a basket on the floor to grab fresh towels from.

There are 2 bedrooms total, with 1 queen bed downstairs and 1 queen bed + 2 twin beds upstairs. Each bed contains soft, 100% cotton sheets and 2 pillows per person along with a light duvet and extra blanket at the bottoms of each bed for nights that may get a little cooler. Dressers and a wardrobe are also provided.

The bathroom includes bath towels, makeup towels, a vanity mirror, and in-shower shampoo/conditioner/body wash in case you forgot to bring some along. As mentioned in the listing description, we'll provide you with everything you'll need for the beach including beach chairs, towels, toys, and a beach wagon.

Great trip to the shore
We had a wonderful time staying at this property. The cottage was very charming and you could tell much care was put into it. Stephen and Lexi were wonderful hosts and were very prompt in responding to any questions we may have had. We would highly recommend others staying here as well.

Girl's Weekend
This cottage was in a fantastic location and the owners were incredibly accessible. Everything we needed in the house was readily available, and everything we needed (beach, restaurants, stores) within walking distance. Can't wait to stay here again!

Beautiful home by the beach
My family and I wanted to get away for 5 days and decided to stay here. From the check in process all the way to checkout, we had a great time. The house was comfortable and clean. They had everything you would need during your stay, whether you went to the beach everyday, or recommendations on where to go in town. We will definitely be back one day for another stay. And we will definitely be staying here next time we decide to visit old Lyme! Thanks Stephen & family!
