The cottage is lovely, perfectly situated on a quiet road with close proximity to the beach. Perfectly decorated and very welcoming. Our hosts were very accommodating and responded almost immediately to our inquiries. we hope to stay here again the next time we come to Connecticut.

A Perfect Beach Getaway!
We had an incredible stay at this charming beach cottage! From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The cottage was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The kitchen was fully stocked, the beds were cozy, and they had toys available for our young daughter.The location was ideal—just a short walk to the beach and easy access to nearby shops and restaurants. The host was responsive, friendly, and made check-in and check-out seamless. Highly recommend this gem for anyone looking to unwind by the beach!

Great beach weekend!
We stayed for a long weekend and had a great time! Private beaches down the road where small, but my son liked going there for sunrise/sunset. We went to public Harvey beach for full-beach days. Harvey beach was family-friendly, quiet, and he loved exploring the sea life. Nice places to eat nearby- everything easy to get to. We will definitely consider coming back next year!
