Waterfront Cottage within walking distance to the Beach. A dog-friendly property

Sip your morning coffee while watching the seabirds in the cove this light and airy beach home nestles up to. Then spend the day at Ocean Beach (a "Top 25 US Beach" within walking distance) or any of several others nearby. Take a ferry to Block Island or a quick ride to downtown Mystic, or Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun Casinos. Check out a local restaurant for some fresh seafood, then relax on the screened-in porch overlooking the cove. A perfect spot for a couple's getaway or a family reunion.
Minutes from Harkness Park and the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center.
A dog-friendly property - limit 2 dogs, fee $25 per dog/per night. No cats allowed.

The total price for less than a 20 hr stay was a little over $800. For that price we had an expectation of a clean and comfortable night. Not the case. We found dirty sheets on one bed and one bed with no sheets. The property owner did promptly send someone to fix the beds. There was food in the refrigerator left by someone. The house had a musty smell throughout. Again, for that price we had an expectation of atleast the ability to have coffee in the morning. No coffee. Even the low end hotels/motels have in room coffee. We would never stay there again.

Lovely View
We enjoyed a last summer long weekend near the beach at this lovely cozy home. The living room's full wall of windows overlook a beautiful inlet where all kinds of birds are active on the tiny island right in our view. There is a rustic screen porch that also has the same view. We also enjoyed the updated, well-stocked kitchen. The beach is an easy walk, but also has plenty of parking and lots of conveniences--we enjoyed two sunny days basking there. The first day was rainy and we enjoyed the nearby aquarium. The owner was very easy to contact and very helpful. When we first arrived, a fire alarm battery was chirping, and we were able to get in touch with them right away, and they came right over to fix it. We would definitely stay there again!

Hidden Gem!
My family & dog absolutely loved our stay. We booked a last minute getaway and the host was over & beyond accommodating. We loved the clean & cozy cottage on the cove! One of our favorite places was the screened in porch that overlooks the cove! Absolutely beautiful! And the short walk to the beach was amazing! We can’t wait to plan our next stay!

We absolutely loved it!! We try to get together once a year (2 of us come from Arizona and 1 from Connecticut) for a relaxing lobster roll/wine kind of time. This was simply wonderful with a delightful cozy screened porch to a living room water view - perfection!! Thanks- we’ll be back!!
