10/10 | Excellent | Jogie M. | 22 May 2024 | Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy | None | Perfect family gathering place | The beach cottage was perfect for our family. We were in Connecticut for a graduation ceremony with family coming from 3 different states. We were only 10-15 min from the university, had access to many restaurants and were able to relax and spend time together in a cozy,very well furnished and beautifully decorated home. It’s a lovely area to stroll around and a short walk to the beach. We sincerely recommended staying here, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. | Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 | ||

10/10 | Excellent | Melissa M. | 18 Jul 2023 | Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy | None | Relaxing and Cozy | As soon as we stepped through the door of this home, it was clear how our stay was going to be. This home was cozy, bright, clean, well stocked and all around relaxing! Due to circumstances out of control of the owner and community the beach down the street was closed, but that didn’t take away from the beauty of the community and it gave us a chance to explore and find a public beach only 20 minutes away. I couldn’t recommend this home enough for someone that is looking to relax, unwind and reconnect with family and/or friends! | Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 | ||

Food was delicious! | Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 | ||
