Great property and location! We enjoyed hanging on the beach and walking into town. Unfortunately, the construction activity that was underway put a bit of a damper on the experience. That being said, we would rent this property again.

Beachside Gem!

Our 10 day stay was very comfortable, cozy and accommodating.. The beach access across the street was wonderful! The view from our dining table each day was so beautiful. Cute little cafe down the street. We had friends and family visit daily and they loved it too! Very, very happy we booked early for this gem. We’ll probably be back!

nice getaway

a lovely, well-maintained apartment that's a short walk to the beach. With lots of showy mansions in the area, this house is a pleasant contrast. Wish we'd booked a longer stay! (Our only complaint is very first world: the coffee-maker requires specific pods we couldn't find. We had to :::sob::: buy our coffee elsewhere.)

A Stay-vacation

A really lovely “shabby chic”cottage styled for easy summer living. I stayed two nights to gain easy access to the beach without going far from my home nearby. Fun idea! The bed was comfortable, the bathroom is very nice, The living area is pretty with a great table and four chairs. Tv is well set up. The Kitchen is ok, no ice machine, so be prepared. My only critique would be to have that one cupboard filled with a nicer assortment of dishes and especially glassware instead of looking like it was collected from someone’s leftovers. The host, Jeff, is 100% attentive when needed!

An Absolute Jewel

This spot couldn’t be better! Bright and sunny. Spacious bedroom, bathroom, living area and kitchen. Great appliances in kitchen if you choose to cook. Short walk to Southport beach. Perfect private location. Stellar area for a bike ride (bikes provided) . Tons of fabulous restaurants and shops. We stayed for two weeks and it wasn’t enough. Can’t wait to return. Our host, Jeff, did so much to make our stay remarkable.

Great location! Jeff was a great host who answered any questions and was always pleasant. The apartment was very clean and super cute. It made the perfect spot for us to stay while we attended the Soundside Music Festival. The charming downtown was two minutes away and we were within walking distance to the beach. Lovely spot.

I bought this property in 2014 and did a ground up renovation. The location is amazing situated on Sasco Creek across the street from the beautiful Southport beach on the Westport line.

Why they chose this property

Walk to the beach surrounded by multi-million dollar estates. Close to everything yet quiet and private.

What makes this property unique

Sea breezes, bike or walk to beach, Southport village will make you feel like you are far from Fairfield County, in a good way.
