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!

We actually stayed during the blizzard of 2026. The host was amazing! Non stop communication before, during, and after our stay! The house is so cute with everything you need. Very clean too! It was very close to the beach and lots of dining options in the area.

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.

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.

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.

Fabulous Stay!

The house was exactly what was described. It was very clean, cozy, and filled with additional amenities that made our stay feel like home. The house was so convenient and in a great beach community with just a short walk to the beach. The fenced in yard was perfect for our dog to enjoy playing ball and running. All in all a great little treasure in a wonderful place. We loved it!
