Sparkling Cozy Beach Cottage

Loved everything about this beach cottage! Perfect location to set off in any direction for beaches, coastal shopping and dining, and points beyond. Beach decor was warm and welcoming. Open floor plan made this cozy space feel spacious for gathering with family. Communication with Bill was excellent. Already planning to return!

Connecticut Beach Cottage Gem!

My family and I (me, my husband, and our eight-year-old daughter) recently stayed at this delightful cottage for our beach getaway. We had a magnificent time, and everything we experienced lived up to the Vrbo description and stellar reviews. The decor is adorable and peaceful, and having a full kitchen, beach amenities, and a washer/dryer made a huge difference in our stay. Bill and Dorothy are excellent hosts, and I highly recommend this beach cottage to anyone contemplating a summertime getaway.

Great experience

This is a lovely property with a great location. Everything in the house was labeled. For the beach, towels, umbrella, and wagon were available (we could not find beach chairs that another reviewer mentioned). We would stay again if in the area.

The Best Place in Southeastern Ct….

The hosts, Dorothy and Bill, continue to deliver the best rental experience one could ask for. They meet, and exceed, every expectation the listing offers. They are communicative and attentive. The quality of the appliances and cookware make things comforting and easy. As a frequent user of vacation rentals, I cannot think of a better experience. Look no further.

Property was nice overall

Property was clean and very well organized. Kitchen and bathroom were well stocked and had plenty of beach supplies. Two downsides were the bed in the last bedroom down the hall was uncomfortable. Two days later and my husband’s back still aches from it. Also there was a a very heavy musty smell. We used the candles and air freshener provided but it didn’t alleviate the smell.

Perfect Beach get away

The house was clean and neighborhood was quiet. The kitchen had every cooking utensil, dishes, pans, etc that we could ever need. The convenience to the beach was perfect especially when our two little grandchildren (4 and 5) joined us for 2 days. It was a perfect vacation!!

LOVELY BEACH COTTAGE CLOSE TO BEACH

When we first entered this property, we knew we made a great choice! This house is close to Mystic, Niantic and Old Saybrook. After a few days, our daughter, son-in-law and their two young boys joined us for 3 nights. Restaurants they recommended were great. We would recommend this Connecticut destination!
