Waterfront Retreat with Kayaks, Fire Pit & Private Beach Access

Welcome to your waterfront escape on the beautiful Connecticut shoreline! Nestled along the water in the charming town of Guilford, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the perfect blend of comfort, relaxation, and coastal adventure. Whether you're planning a family vacation, a couples' getaway, or a weekend with friends, you'll find everything you need for an unforgettable stay.

From the moment you arrive, you'll be greeted by stunning waterfront views and the peaceful atmosphere that makes this property so special. Start your morning with a cup of coffee overlooking the water, spend the afternoon exploring by kayak, and end your day gathered around the fire pit as the sun sets over the shoreline.

The home comfortably accommodates up to six guests with three inviting bedrooms, each featuring a full-size bed, and two updated full bathrooms. Inside, you'll find bright, welcoming living spaces designed for relaxing after a day of exploring. The fully equipped kitchen makes preparing meals easy, whether you're enjoying breakfast before heading out or cooking dinner to share with family and friends. Central heating and air conditioning keep the home comfortable year-round.

Your Own Waterfront Playground

The outdoor space is where this home truly shines.

Enjoy direct water access right from the property, making it easy to launch one of the complimentary kayaks and explore the calm shoreline at your own pace. Spend the day at the shared private beach, enjoyed by only a small number of neighboring homes, where you'll find a quiet place to swim, relax, and take in the coastal scenery.

After a day in the sun, rinse off in the outdoor shower, unwind with a good book in the outdoor seating area, or gather around the fire pit to roast marshmallows, share stories, and enjoy peaceful evenings beneath the stars.

Whether you're looking for adventure or simply a place to slow down and recharge, this waterfront retreat offers the best of both.

The house was beautiful! Loved sitting in the screened in room. Listening to the waves and watching the water come and go with the tides, just ahhhhh. We were even blessed with a rainbow one evening. Can't wait to go back again! Thank you!
