Charming beach cottage

This cottage worked perfectly for our visit to Old Saybrook. Loved the front porch and the back screened in area. The one AC unit upstairs was the only inconvenience but we did make it work by leaving bedroom doors open. Otherwise, everything was perfect.

Cottage perfect for families

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Old Saybrook. The cottage was perfect for us, the private beach was cozy, and when we wanted big waves, we took a road trip to RI. We also visited Mystic for a fun day. Ann Marie was easily accessible and the welcome basket was devoured by day 2.

Great Cottage

We had a fantastic stay. We’ve been coming to Chalker for many years but this is the first time we rented. Couldn’t ask for anything else. We were very comfortable all week. The special touches were greatly appreciated.

Just what our family needed!

After the recent passing of my husband our family was looking for a getaway to all be together. This cottage was by far the best one I have ever rented. We enjoyed our stay very much and didn"t want our week to end. Hopefully, if Ann Marie will have us, we will be back next year!

Wonderful week at the cottage

Our recent stay at the cottage was absolutely wonderful! The cottage is located walking distance from the beach where we spent most of our days. The cottage itself is clean, nicely decorated and had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. We especially liked the personal touches, the welcome basket and fresh flowers. The owners were most helpful and great to work with. Looking forward to coming back next year!

Fun Fourth of July stay at Chalker Beach

This house worked great for our family and had everything we needed. It was very clean which we appreciated. The owners were helpful and responded quickly to any questions we had. We also enjoyed the activities like Bingo organized by the Chalker Beach association. It is about a ten minute walk to the beach but you can park in a lot across from the beach once you get the temporary parking permit which makes it easy to bring your stuff there.

Amazing week in Old Saybrook!! The home was adorable. So many nice touches such as a welcome basket and flowers. Both owners were more than gracious and answered every question. They went beyond kindness when they shared their backyard kayak launch. Thanks Wayne and Ann. We will be back.

The Perfect Getaway

Although we could've gone anywhere for a vacation, this little wonder of a cottage, caught my eye. From the moment we walked in, we felt at home. The cottage may appear small from the outside but it's more than spacious inside. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone. To top things off, we had many rainy days here and the owner allowed us to extend our time, by a few days; at NO charge, since the weekend we were due to leave, was filled with sunshine! Who does that? We're definitely coming back!

This cottage was a very quaint cottage. Very well maintained and clean. Had all the amenities that you would need on vacation. Our family enjoyed our time there very much. The beach was fantastic.

Another wonderful week in this adorable cottage

This is our second summer spending a week in this beautiful cottage while visiting family in Old Saybrook. The cottage is clean and well-stocked, with plenty of room for us and our 2 teenage boys. They liked walking to the beach and Chalker Beach store. We enjoyed a Father’s Day cookout with the grill and lovely screened-in outdoor dining area.

A lovely cottage

I enjoyed my stay very much. Everything was great. No complaints. My only objection was the large amount of commercial traffic going by, mainly due I believe, to the construction of two houses down the street.
