Just perfect

A lovely cottage, furnished with everything we needed, just a few steps from a small beach at the end of the road. And, there is a lovely 10 minute walk to the town beach, too. Host was very accessible, but we didnt need to contact for anything. Neighbors are friendly, great little surrounding community and close to grocery stores. Many fun things to do in the area!

Location and neighborhood were great. Quiet, no crime most of the neighbors were permanent residents. Superficially everything was clean. As we were settling in we noticed a few things that were overlooked. I think we were the first guests of the season and no one had deep cleaned. No worries though. We cleaned most of the problem spots we found. The freezer needs to be defrosted desperately.

Summer Vacation

My husband and I stayed a week at this property and had a wonderful time! The place was perfect for us, it was clean, nicely decorated and had enough linen for two. The place was also only a few houses from the beach. The beach was gorgeous and private, with water warm enough to swim in. We also couldn’t believe all the restaurants, movies and shopping close by. The owners were very reachable and checked to see if we needed anything. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Amazing little cottage for 2. Just enough house and beach is truly a short walk to a private beach. This is what sells it for us! Cute little kitchen, but lots of restaurants close. Liquor store (another important place for us), grocery store and everything you could need literally a few minutes away.Second time we've stayed and will absolutely come back! Best little cottage for 2. A slice of heaven!!!

The cottage was cute and conveniently located. However the listing said there would be a full kitchen and all that was there for knives was a dull paring knife which made it difficult to cook.

Beautiful beach cottage

We had such a great stay! The house was clean, comfortable, and exactly what we needed. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and welcoming. The location was perfect. Just a short walk to a beautiful beach. Definitely recommend staying here if you’re looking for a peaceful getaway on the Connecticut shoreline!
