10/10 Excellent Rebecca S. 5 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy None Old lyme beach stay House was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The backyard is a quiet, private space to enjoy meals. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Stayed 1 night in May 2024
10/10 Excellent Brianna W. 30 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy None Cute cottage across from beach Adorable, beds were super comfortable, very well stocked kitchen and bathrooms, the backyard was so nice for the kids and the porch swinging chairs were so relaxing, the screened in porch was perfect for the cooler nights. Would definitely stay here again. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024
10/10 Excellent Trent T. 1 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy None Adorable Cottage This house is perfectly adorable! Its coastal decor makes you instantly happy when you walk in. We only stayed one night since we were just in town to visit our Coast Guard Academy Cadet, but wished we could stay longer. We said we’d be back next fall! Our only complaints were that we could not get the gas fireplace started or the TV in the family room to work. More importantly, though, the bed and mattress in the back bedroom were very uncomfortable. The bed was very squeaky and the mattress was shot and needs to be replaced. The soft topper is not correcting the problem. The bed would be an easy fix to make the cottage truly delightful. Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023
10/10 Excellent Teresa R. 12 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy None Best of both A partial ocean view from the front porch, and private partial wooded feel in the back. Wish we could have stayed longer. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023
10/10 Excellent Kate P. 5 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy None Great getaway! Beautiful location! Perfect for a little girls’ getaway! Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023
10/10 Excellent Shannon B., BOXFORD 11 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy None Adorable Cottage! We stayed at this adorable beach cottage for four nights and enjoyed day trips to the Mystic Seaport Museum and the Mystic Aquarium. Kristine has an excellent eye for design and decor. It’s decorated beautifully and it’s very functional for a family of four. Nice neighbors and lovely neighborhood to walk around too. Highly recommend! Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2023
10/10 Excellent Mary 20 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication None Loved the ”old fashioned” cottage feel… small and cozy but felt roomy! The knotty pine was charming! Reminded me of cottages from the past! Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023
6/10 Okay Patrick and Kim S., Virginia Beach 8 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location None Nice, but…. Cute home….however I would not have rented it had I known I had to bring my own sheets and towels. Not something I want to do when staying in a home for one night on my way to Maine. You should put that out there for people to see before selecting this home. Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 Response from VrboOwner on 8 Nov 2022 Thank you for your review. The fact that we do not provide sheets and towels is clearly stated in our description on the home page before you even book our property….we are very transparent. We try to keep our prices very affordable so close to the water. We are able to do so by not passing on the hefty fee for sheets and towels service. We are sorry that you missed that but again it is clearly stated in the description of the house before you even book.
10/10 Excellent Eileen E., Fallston, Maryland 22 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy None Perfect spot! We loved our stay! This cottage/bungalow is super clean, super cute and in a great location. We felt right at home! Thank you for having us! Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022
