Fun beach cottage

We had a great stay in this very cute and cozy beach cottage. Our 2 dogs loved the fenced in back yard and made us throw a ball for several hours over our 3 night stay! The location is great with only a few steps to the beach and close to town for anything you may need. The kitchen was very well stocked and the washer and dryer were a nice bonus! The hosts were very accommodating when we requested an early check-in and were very responsive. We will definitely stay again.

Comfortable, Clean, Cozy Cottage

Clean cottage, more spacious than it looks. Perfect fenced back yard for family pets. Quiet neighborhood and easy walk to beach. Stayed at this cottage for a month as our home needed some repairs. Extremely comfortable for my husband, miniature poodle and I. Hosts were very gracious and accommodating!! Would have stayed longer if available.

5 stars! Listing doesn’t do it justice!

My family of 4 including two toddlers plus our dog had a fantastic stay! The cottage is much bigger than it appears in the listing. The bedroom had plenty of space for a pack ‘n play plus a toddler air mattress. They had every amenity we could need and the house was immaculate. We enjoyed grilling and the fenced in backyard. The beach wagon was awesome! Short 5 minute walk to the beach with a couple other beaches around the corner. We loved walking out to the sandbars during low tide. Everyone in the neighborhood was also very nice. Wonderful stay, thank you!

Weekend Stay

What a cute little piece of heaven! My husband and I visited for the weekend for our anniversary and it was such an amazing weekend. BONUS…perfect for our two pups too!! The house is on a quiet street (no barking dogs to stir them up) and they have the perfect fenced in yard so the dogs can run around freely. The house is so close to so many things (downtown is like 4 minutes away). We ate dinner at Liv’s and saw a show at The Kate, both amazing! The beach unfortunately isn’t dog friendly but when it’s low tide you can walk out with the dogs on the sand bars (I would recommend some floaties and water shoes, one point it was pretty deep and the sand is squishy and shelly). We had a great weekend!

Local Little Getaway

My family of 6 plus 1 dog stayed for a week. We loved the cottage, it was cute, cozy & clean. YouTube video is exactly how it is, if anything we thought it was bigger than pics. We ended up using the sleeper sofa and brought a queen size air mattress which fit perfectly in the bedroom. Neighborhood was nice and quiet. A perfect walking neighborhood. Lots of shopping, restaurants & grocery stores nearby. The only con we had was the beach at the end of the road was very very small and not water you would want to swim in. If just wanna sit at beach it would be fine. We ended up driving to Soundview in Old Lyme everyday which was a very short drive away. Maybe 10-15min. (Which we didn’t mind doing). I definitely would recommend this place for others and will keep this listing for future renting despite the beach at the end of the road.

My husband and I absolutely loved staying here! The cottage was immaculately clean, very spacious, and super comfortable. It was very well equipped with everything we could need and the hosts were easy to get in touch with and responded right away. There is a nice backyard which was good for our dog, and our little granddaughter who came to visit liked the beach down the street. We definitely hope to come back here again!

This cottage was the perfect size and location for my husband and me to enjoy a quiet getaway. Mornings and evenings spent on the private beach with ospreys hunting overhead were a particular treat, and Harvey’s Beach is just a five minute drive away. We love visiting Old Saybrook and this property made it all the more relaxing.

Great place to stay!

Excellent cottage in a great area of Old Saybrook. We lived in OS for over 30 years and came home to see our family and were not disappointed. It was like being home again. The cottage was warm and welcoming. We will definitely stay there again next time we are in town!!

Lovely cottage - dog friendly

My son goes to boarding school nearby - this place was great for me and the dog for a couple days. Big fenced yard and water and food bowls were there for use! The dog and cleaning fee were almost more than the stay, so it makes more sense for longer stays (I was only there two).

Lovely Beach House

My family had a wonderful time at this beautiful, comfortable place. The location was great with a scenic, quiet beach so close. People were very friendly and welcoming. Enjoyed the mini golf by the shore and the carousel in Old Lyme. So many wonderful places to eat nearby. Many wonderful memories were made at this wonderful spot.

Quick change of scenery to end school year

Wanted to get away to celebrate the end of school but stay close enough to get teenagers to work. This was perfect. Really appreciate being able to take the dog with us.
