10/10 Excellent Cortney S. 28 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy None Lovely beach stay Doesn’t get better than being right on the water. Circle Beach is such a special place and my family was so happy to be back this summer. The house is more of a rustic beach cottage but has so much love and history and detail and had everything we needed for our stay. Many delightful evenings spent on the porch. Rain closet shower was perfectly rustic beachy. Kayaks for use was amazing. The host was easy to communicate with and super responsive. We really hope to come back next summer.

There is plenty of parking. There are kayak’s and dinghy’s that you could use. It is a true beach cottage. We really loved it. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023

Everything that you could need or want is at this house. From life jackets to rain jackets to everything in the kitchen. Host made sure we had everything we asked for. Could not be happier with the charm and the location. Can’t wait to stay again!

10/10 Excellent Carly R. 11 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy None Fun rustic beach house We rented this property for a family get-together (grew up in Southeastern CT, now South of Boston). I stayed with my husband, 1-year-old and other family, which included three adults, one teenager and two children (3 and 10 y/o). The bedroom situation worked out perfectly for us as we had a separate room for the baby and were still able to fit everyone comfortably. The house is very rustic but has the modern amenities you need. We spent a majority of our time outside on the beach or deck and were lucky enough to have mostly great weather. We loved the location and enjoyed morning or sunset walks around the neighborhood. Close to downtown Madison and Guilford, making for plenty of dining options relatively close by. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022
8/10 Good Gail F., Coventry, RI 16 Oct 2019 Liked: Check-in, communication, location None Ladies Weekend Property was in a great location, but it is an older beach house in need of some upgrades. It is located right Long Island Sound with a great porch facing the ocean.

Plenty of little towns to go browsing the shops.

10/10 Excellent Donna H., Medfield, MA 28 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy None Family Get-together This property is just as it appears in the pictures with the exception of the bonfire. Fortunately we called the Fire Chief prior to building a marshmallow fire and were told they are NOT allowed. Aside from that, this home is stocked with everything a family or large group could ever need. Bring water shoes to fully enjoy the lovely water. Beautiful sunsets and inviting front covered porch makes morning coffee very enjoyable. If we have the opportunity, we will return. Elizabeth was easy to reach and very responsive with any questions. Great spot for the family to gather! Donna H Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2019

10/10 Excellent Mark T. 18 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy None True beach cottage. Grew up in this area when all the beach cottages were like this one. Not too many left anymore. Torn down or renovated to become year round homes. So it’s a little rustic but I like it that way because it brings me back to a simpler time. If that’s what you’re looking for, this is the place to be. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2019
10/10 Excellent Coleen V. 12 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy None Wonderful!! We were so happy with our stay at “Yawl Come” cottage.! The cottage itself sits right on the beach with amazing views from every window! It was big, comfy and about as beachy as it gets!! The cottage supplied everything we needed…sheets, towels, books, games, outdoor sports equipment and wifi. We played board games around the huge farm table at night and relaxed on the back porch with our morning coffee. The kids spent hours hunting for crabs and swimming the entire weekend. We even celebrated my daughter’s 16th birthday with family on the private beach creating a memories that will last a lifetime! Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2019
