About this property

Pristine Four Bedroom Beachfront Vacation Home with SUPs and Kayaks!

Welcome to the Salt Island Inn! (It’s not really an inn, that's just our family name for the house).

From the south face of our house, you will enjoy glistening views of the Long Island Sound… from the terrace, from the balcony, and from the unobstructed wall of windows.

The experience at the house is always new, as the light changes and the tide ebbs and flows. Share the excitement of high-tide waves crashing against the sea wall. During low tide, play on an expansive sand bar, walk out to Salt Island to visit the wildlife or take a long stroll along the beach.

This impeccably renovated classic coastal beach house is located in the quiet community of Middle Beach in Westbrook, Connecticut. Guests describe it variously as “charming,” “immaculate,” and “tastefully decorated.” Our Inn boasts four gracious bedrooms, equipped with king-size beds, fresh linens, fluffy pillows, Roku TVs, and individual A/C units. The master suite has a private bath. There are two additional bathrooms, one on the second floor where you can luxuriate in the vintage claw foot tub, and one on the first floor which includes a laundry room. One of the bedrooms has two extra long twin beds which easily convert to a king-size bed upon request.

Enjoy 180° views of the water from the expansive main-floor living space and from upper-level bedrooms. Relax in the cozy living room equipped with a workspace and a gas fireplace. Prepare delicious meals in a well-stocked kitchen featuring stainless appliances and a dishwasher; savor your meals at the dining table overlooking the Sound.

The family room has a 50-inch Roku TV with plenty of comfortable seating. In the adjoining den, you will find an intimate setting complete with four relaxing swivel rocking chairs, a variety of family games, and an additional workspace.

Outside, on the lower-level terrace, there’s a Weber gas grill, concrete dining table and conversation seating along with a gas fire pit. In the garage, you will find a full-size ping pong table, kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, floats, and plenty of outdoor toys and games. An additional fridge, beach towels, beach chairs, a beach umbrella, a cooler, and cozy blankets for cool evenings are all available. There is an outdoor shower here as well.

This house is ADULTS ONLY and has a maximum capacity of 8. It is not suitable for young children or those with limited mobility. No pets. No smoking. No parties.

Nearby, enjoy all the shoreline has to offer. Find lots of delicious restaurants, visit nearby Hammonasset State Beach & Park, the Stewart McKinney Wildlife Preserve, or shop at the outlets. Of course, you could just relax on the terrace taking in the sea air and watching the tide go in and out.

We look forward to making you welcome.

Outstanding!

If you are looking for a fabulous waterfront stay - this is the place! Unbelievably well-appointed, with everything from a fully stocked kitchen to comfortable beds to loads of recreational toys!! It’s like you were staying with friends - the house was so welcoming! Only caution is there are a fair amount of stairs so older people need to be aware.

Home away from home

My family looks forward to returning each year to this beautiful spot. This was our 3rd year. Fran is an unusually gracious and generous owner/property manager. Her first instinct is always, how can I make this experience better for you? She also has unusually great taste and the house is beautifully appointed and fully stocked. The view is gorgeous.

We had a reunion of girl cousins. All retired. We had a great time, never cooked, ate out or ordered food in. The house was lovely. It was stocked with every conceiveable thing needed. We would definitely come back again.

Beautiful property

Beautiful views, house. Just as portrayed in the pictures. Very comfortable. Nice to have the kayaks, swim right out the back door etc…. Responsive host. It is very close to other houses though and we had renters next door that partied the entire night. The host did call the other owners when we spoke to her the next day and the rest of the stay was fine. This seemed likely to be out of the ordinary though so don’t think it should interfere with decisions to rent this property as it was great in every other way.

Our feel good place

After selling our own home on the beach, we became summer renters. Our first 3 experiences were disappointing. But I knew this would be different as soon as we walked in. Next summer will be our 3rd time -- and I hope to continue. The place is well designed, well furnished and very well stocked. It's a beautiful location and Fran is incredibly responsive whenever anything comes up. This summer will be our 3rd - and I hope to continue.

Top notch accommodations with a beautiful view

We didn't want to leave! All the people we bumped into were super kind and welcoming. The host provided everything we could ever need for relaxing indoors and out. The house is spacious, clean, and well appointed. The outdoor space is amazing and we loved stepping straight into the water. I even fished from the steps! We hope to be back again!

Paradise on the Sound

This house is a gem, the water views from the front bedrooms, kitchen and main living area are spectacular! You are as close to the water as can be, we felt relaxed from the moment we arrived. The house is perhaps the best stocked house we have stayed at - from the kitchenware to the pantry (oils, spices) to the waterfront equipment including kayaks, paddle boards, floats and more! We enjoyed walking out to Salt Island during low tide. The owner was accessible and communicative. Great experience all around!

Wonderful home!

The house, location, amenities, communications with the host were all perfect. There was plenty of room for our family of 7 adults and the location could not be beat. At high tide it almost seemed like we were on a boat and at low tide there was a nice walking beach (too chilly to swim). The host was extremely communicative and very flexible. The stocked pantry and lovely bottle of wine were a nice bonus.

Exceeded out expectations

Over the past 40 years, we've done short and longer term rentals. We've had positive and not so positive experiences. This was, by far, the best experience each of us have ever had. The house is designed while still being very easy to live in. It's beyond 'fully equipped' with anything you might want. And when I asked about anything, Fran was quick to respond and supply it. The views are lovely and the location/access to swimable water is amazing - as one person said, when the tide is in, you feel like you're on a boat. And Fran couldn't be a more gracious host. By the end of our first week, we booked for next year. I'm already looking forward to it!

Beautiful view, decorative home w/ amenities.

The view when you walk into the second floor is stunning. You get the same view when you wake up in bed, on the third floor- so relaxing! They provided SUP and canoes, books, board games. The house is beautiful and well decorated. Fresh flowers and wine, gave that extra touch. Communication was easy! They also had a Roku to watch Netflix. The downstairs patio had a nice gas fireplace and a couch to take a sun nap! They gave good restaurant recommendations and had menus available, as well! I highly recommend a stay if you need to recoup your energy and enjoy the water and sun!

Breathtaking Ocean Views

Our family was beyond excited when this property became available for our yearly vacation to the CT shoreline. The pictures were amazing & we were instantly hooked…but nothing compares to being there in person. The views from the balcony are absolutely stunning & like nothing we had experienced in prior vacation homes over the past 40 years! Watching the sun set while being cooled by breezes off the water was priceless. The house is very well-appointed, comfortable & chock full of amenities that made our stay that much more enjoyable. From the king-sized beds and kayaks to the gas fire pit, every detail is so well thought out for the maximum enjoyment of those who stay at the Salt Island Inn. It’s also close to many restaurants and places to shop in Westbrook, Clinton & Old Saybrook. We can’t wait to come back again next year!!

Amazing Stay

This will go down as one of my favorite places that I have stayed. The property was clean and VERY well equipped! Aside from being a beautiful house in a beautiful location the kitchen was very well stocked and had sharp knives to prepare food with, something that many rental homes don't offer. Fran was very kind and easy to get in contact with. We wish there was time available at the end of summer, we will be back!

We are so happy to have spent this time together in this beautiful waterfront home. Comfortable and homey but spacious and relaxing.

Wonderful experience all around

Salt Island Inn is gorgeous, comfortable, well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and didn't want to leave. Watching the tide ebb and flow from the spacious and comfortable living and dining area in the house, and from the outdoor patio with fire pit, was meditative and fun ... all at once. And we can't say enough wonderful things about Fran. She is communicative, flexible, and just easy to work with. We changed our reservation dates early on and she walked me through the process making it very easy, and she was available for any questions we had during our stay. The best property manager we ever worked with in VRBO. We hope to come back!!

Wow. Perfect

Wow. Everything about the Salt Island Inn was perfect. The house itself was SO beautifully decorated and very comfortable and clean. It had every item you could ever want - dishes, kitchen equipment, linens, towels, tons of beach and water toys - and the owner is incredibly hospitable and communicative. The location and views are breathtaking. We can’t say enough about how the 6 adults on the trip enjoyed this vacation. We used the kayaks, paddle boards and rafts right off the back patio and spent a lot of time taking in the views there and watching the schools of fish and different kinds of birds in the water. We also were able to walk into town in the mornings where there are two breakfast/brunch restaurants and a coffee shop, all were great. It is also possible to walk down the beach for about a mile during the lower tide periods. There’s nothing I could think of that could’ve made the stay at the house more comfortable. After a week there I still did not want to leave, I couldn’t get enough of the views. The owner checked in with us via text to make sure we had everything we needed and was always quick to respond with any questions we had (much faster than I was!), she was really wonderful. I cannot say enough about this place and will definitely be looking to come back.

Wonderful property!

We spent a week at this property with our family (which includes my wife, me, a teenager, a twelve year old, and my mom). The house is absolutely beautiful and thoughtfully put together. The game room/reading area and the TV room was great for rainy days. The kitchen and dining room is open and includes everything you could need. The best part was the awesome patio by the water, and all the kayaks and floats you could think of needing. Fran was great and there for any questions we had. We will definitely be booking this property again.

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

Westbrook is a very small Connecticut town bordered by the towns of Clinton and Old Saybrook where you will find quaint shops and wonderful restaurants. Westbrook is a very quiet beach community and the property is located in a cluster of four homes located very close together. It is a 1/4 mile walk to Main Street (The Post Road) where you will find a nice selection of restaurants, a spa and a few shops. Everything in the house is brand new as we purchased it in 2021. The house was raised 15 feet above sea level after hurricane Sandy so there is a full flight of stairs upon entry to access the main living space. The home has a cozy and relaxing vibe and is great for adult getaways, family vacations or a simple escape to slow down the pace. The Long Island Sound is literally at your doorstep which makes this home a real treasure!
