Welcome to your South Cove waterfront getaway in Old Saybrook! This one-bedroom waterfront retreat is the perfect spot to relax and recharge.

Quaint, super clean, has everything you need. On the water with spectacular views, and very quiet. Will definitely stay there again when in the area. The hosts are very friendly and quick to respond to any inquiry.

We have stayed at several rental properties and have had some fantastic experiences. This property is at the top of that list. It was spotless, beautiful views, every possible amenity has already been thought about and the hosts are incredibly communicative and helpful. We can’t recommend this property strongly enough. It is absolutely fantastic.
