My husband and I have rented a place for a long weekend to celebrate our anniversary every year that we've lived in our Manhattan apartment and Morganne's is the first house we've ever wanted to return to. We have never been in such a sparklingly clean, comfortable, well-thought out, well-equipped, quiet lovely place! A/Cs in every room, cozy heating, bikes, kayaks, comfiest couch, every utensil & gadget you could think of, washer & dryer (and scent-free laundry detergent!), lovely yard, my new fantasy fridge...Morganne was a great communicator, check-in & out was a breeze.Cannot recommend highly enough!

We loved our stay at this home in Old Saybrook! It was the perfect size for the 8 of us, and the remodel was done really well while still keeping its old charm. The kitchen had every gadget you could want, and the home was spotless from the moment we arrived. The beds were the most comfortable we've had in any VRBO, the bathrooms were lovely, and there were cozy throw blankets on the couches and a TV in every room.The neighborhood is adorable and the neighbors were so friendly. The kids loved the bikes and all the toys inside, and the beach gear provided made our beach days easy, with a nice beach just a short drive away. Having a washer, dryer and detergent made it so nice to come home with clean clothes.The hosts were so responsive and sweet, which made the whole stay feel effortless. We'll definitely stay here again when we visit family. Highly recommend!

Relaxing and Peaceful

Beautiful home in a peaceful neighborhood but also close to many restaurants and attractions. The kitchen was great and had all the amenities. Beds were large and very comfortable. A great place to stay with friends and/or family.

Super Host

Not sure how one gets that moniker on VRBO but Morganne should have it. So responsive and accommodating. We felt like we were staying at a friend’s place — a friend who has great taste ;). All the conveniences of home in a neighborhood that made us feel welcome. Great family vacation. Thank you!

delightful

We would have enjoyed more giving our host a five star rating, however upon arrival the oven/stove/microwave needed a thorough cleaning. The outdoor furniture was not clean. Our grandson loved the bike/helmet that was available. We enjoyed our walks and proximity to Old Saybrook. It is special to be able to enjoy the property with our beloved pet as well. The common space, bedrooms and bathrooms were sparkling! Communication with our host was prompt and we appreciated that as well. Yes, we would return should the occasion arise! Thank you Morganne!

About the host

Hosted by Morganne McCarthy

Host profile image
My husband and I live in Connecticut with our three children. We love being at the beach and making memories at Cottage Cove. When we are in Old Saybrook you will find us biking around town or spending the whole day at the beach. We love having friends and family visit and will one day retire in Old Saybrook.

Why they chose this property

This location is the best of both worlds. It is between town and the beaches. We ride our bikes to the beach in the morning and walk to dinner at night.

What makes this property unique

This property has 3 floors making it an excellent spot for multiple families or families who like their own space every once and a while. It sleeps 12 people comfortably with a big entertaining space between the kitchen and living room.
