Perfect location
For our family needs it was a perfect size house. The location couldn’t be better to get to the neighborhood beach. We love spending our evenings on the patio around the fire pit. The only thing I can say in the negative comment is the house furniture and various floor elevations were not conducive for older people to sit in or walk around without full attention.

Excellent home in a wonderful area
The home, property and location to the beach were perfect! The kitchen / dining area were perfect rooms to have adults enjoying meals together. The yard and fire pit /patio were so nice for playing lawn games and relaxing by the fire to have wine with friends. With a short walk to the beach we were able to go back and forth throughout the day. The outdoor shower was amazing, and the beautiful flowers in bloom made it a cheerful pretty property in the morning and basically all throughout the day. Butterflies and hummingbirds were spotted regularly. The kitchen appliances were awesome to use and made for easy meal prep. We enjoyed our visit very much!

A wonderful Shoreline/Beach rental
This was indeed a terrific vacation rental. It’s a convenient 2-3 minute walk from a lovely sandy beach, but away from any traffic congestion. It’s great for a multi-generational family that wants spend time together, but also to have privacy for smaller sub-groups. There’s a large grassy beautifully landscaped side yard suitable for running around in [plus a supply of lawn games] and a spacious patio, grill, fire pit, and outside furniture for dining or hanging out. A large three-season dining room seats 10-12 people comfortably and the kitchen is modern and well equipped. There are several comfortable seating areas inside with wi-fi and cable TV, board games and puzzles. It’s a pleasant one-mile walk/drive/bicycle to town with restaurants, wine shop, movie theatre, and stores (including one of CT’s best bookstores). The bedrooms are comfortable with three full baths and an outside shower. It’s like staying at one’s own wonderful private resort.

The Perfect Beach House
Our stay at Cynthia’s home was sheer perfection. It’s actually located in the same neighborhood where we grew up, so it was great to be back in the old ‘hood. The 5-minute walk to the beach, the spacious patio with fire pit, the big yard, the well-stocked kitchen, and my favorite: the outdoor shower, made our stay exactly what we had hiked for. And Cynthia was very responsive to the one question we had about air conditioning. We will definitely stay here again.
