Thank you for being a pet friendly rental property! We especially enjoyed kayaks as well as the balconies for watching the ospreys in their nest!! It was also great to have access to the private beach in the area. My family enjoyed the bikes in the garage and the quiet streets for riding the bikes. Osprey Cove provided a wonderful opportunity for our family to get together!

Lovely stay

The house was perfect for two families and their grown children, one couple with an infant and two dogs! There were several spaces for quiet times and a big enough table and a well equipped kitchen for us to cook and eat together. The kayaks were great and the osprey nest across from the balcony had 2 babies - beautiful. Excellent and fast communication with the owners.

Osprey Cove

We had a great 4 day get away with my kids, their spouses and children. The house was large enough for everyone to hang out together and had private spaces to accommodate for alone time. It was a quiet peaceful location with a private association beach about 1 mile away. The kitchen was well equipped and spacious. The 2 decks and a screened in porch really added to the relaxed feeling. The owner was also very responsive to questions etc. We definitely enjoyed our stay!

We have been renting with VRBO for the past ten years. This is without a doubt the nicest property we've stayed in. From the outside looking in, this beautiful three-story beach home is strategically landscaped so that guests don't see their neighbors--other than the beautiful osprey pair nesting on the far side of the salt marsh out back. We were left with multiple sets of binoculars to view them, as well as a grill and sitting area on the side patio for cooking, kayaks to explore the marsh, and more.The inside was immaculate and went on forever. Each of the updated bathrooms was spotless and each of the bedrooms had its own smart TV. Although listed as four bedrooms, there was ample room with couches and cots to easily sleep more. There were also smart TVs in almost every room. The owners were responsive the few times we reached out with questions. In addition, they left us with a useful guide with tips about the area. Centrally located, some "must see" places of note include Gillette Castle, the Essex Steam Train and Riverboat tour up the CT river, Block Island with ferries leaving daily, Mystic, Old Mystic Seaport and aquarium, Saybrook, Old Saybrook, Chester, Clinton, Foxwoods, Mohegan Sun, Deep River, and the list goes on and on. Also, if you like hitting up local antique shoppes, we didn't have to drive too far to find several group collectives with lots of very cool souvenirs to be had.We won't hesitate to come back to Osprey Cove in years to come..

We had a great stay at Liz’s house. Very spacious and there were rooms/areas for everyone to spread out but also plenty of spots for everyone to join together. We spent evenings on the enclosed porch playing card games and mornings drinking coffee on the balconies. Beach was a short (but hilly!) walk or a very short drive, and the water was absolutely perfect for the kids. Calm and not too crowded. The house had great AC and lots of amenities. Liz was a helpful and responsive host. Would absolutely stay here again!

Incredible

This place was home to me and 5 of my cousins(All 60) for 5 glorious days. Lots of bedrooms (I got the master suite, which included a balcony overlooking the marsh with a birdseye view(no pun intended) of the Osprey nest with 2 Osprey in it !! The house was well-stocked with every thing necessary for our comfort! The private beach was beautiful, except the port-o-potties were way back at the parking lot, which was way too far to walk back.

Peaceful family getaway

Wonderful property located on a peaceful marsh with beautiful birds-ospreys, egrets, herons-kayaking on calm waters. The house is in excellent condition and perfect for multigenerational families with children who want to spend time together as well as private time. Location is great-2 minutes by car from beach; walkable too (~10 min), right at edge of hiking path in nature park. Liz is a great host- very responsive. Lots of amenities-towels, beach chairs, etc. and even interesting and fun toys for children The pictures don’t do it justice-it is even better than it looks.

About the host

Hosted by Liz Kametz

Host profile image
We are so excited you found our property! We just made this location our second home and are delighted to share it with you. We are from Glastonbury, CT with 4 children and 2 family businesses to keep us busy. Liz owns Just Be, A Self-Care Retreat Center and John owns Mik Advertising & Design. Together they love hiking, biking, kayaking and anything outdoors.

Why they chose this property

We've put our loving energy into this quiet oasis. We love how it's located at the end of a cul-de-sac, safe for the kids to bike and walk around the community. There is access to an amazing hiking/biking/walking trail right outside the driveway. And within 2 minutes you can park your car in the private beach parking lot and hop onto the beach for a day filled with sun and water adventures. Or you can stay right in the backyard and hop in the kayaks to enjoy the peace and serenity nature has to offer.

What makes this property unique

We tried to provide all the special touches in the home that will make you feel welcome and want to return. From the comfy furniture, multiple spaces to gather and be social and the access to multiple bathrooms from each bedroom, we believe it's a great combination of space for you and yours.
