About this property

Charming Cottage By The Sea on Fairfield Beach

Newly renovated cottage, steps from private beach. Whether you enjoy walking, biking, swimming, fishing, kayaking, or the daunting task of napping in a shady hammock, this is the place is for you. Near Metro North and I-95, just an hour from Manhattan. Bring back memories of childhood summers—put your toes in the sand and your mind at ease, while enjoying the tranquility of this spectacular Long Island Sound getaway in Fairfield. Also, we have added Amazon Alexa and Fire Stick to our smart TV.

The space

Our cottage is just steps from a private beach (directly across the street). Everything is newly renovated, but has that rustic seaside feel. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor space for a family getaway, with Wifi for connecting to the world and even more opportunities to disconnect as needed.
Admittedly, it would be easy to hide away here for a week or more, without making much contact with anyone other than the gulls. That being said, Fairfield is also rich in foodie and entertainment options.
We're an easy bike ride to town, a longer walk, and a really short drive or Uber trip. The cottage is roughly a half mile from the Fairfield Metro North Train Stop (which is roughly an hour from Manhattan), and is a hop, skip, and a jump from Interstate 95 and the Merritt Parkway.
The path to the beach is directly accross the street and between two houses. This is a common feature of Fairfield Beach. Also, we have parking for three vehicles, in front, under house. The parking can be tight for larger cars.

Great family getaway!
The cottage was perfect. All of the basics were supplied such as toilet paper, paper towels, pack and play, booster seat etc. Check in and check out were easy with very little for us to do. Gerard was extremely helpful. He is one of the most efficient and kind property managers that I have ever dealt with. He answered every question I had and provided information about the area.The beach area was clean and quiet. Beds were comfortable and the backyard space was great with the kids!

Great!
The house is beautiful, the location is wonderful. The beds are comfy. Everything is perfect. The only caution is the parking space is a little tight if you have a big vehicle. I drove a Ford Transit 12 passenger van which I was able to get off the street with some maneuvering. Any bigger than that would be difficult.

Fairfield Beach
Such a cute beach house. It is was a perfect location for our family of four to stay at while visiting with other family in Fairfield/Southport/Westport and also allowing us to go into NYC for a day trip to the Statue of Liberty.
