I am a bit late to positing this review (stayed in November) but wanted to leave a recommendation for this cute spot for anyone who’s looking to stay here. It’s located in a cute neighborhood, close to beaches and nice walking areas. The house is a bit small, but we had a party of 6 people and 2 dogs, which ended up working well for us, as we were out of the house for most of the time we were there. The host was responsive and the checking in/ out process was clear and easy! Thank you!

Lovely Cottage

Lovely little cottage in a pretty, quiet neighborhood. Once you find it down the little lane, it's a great location to be in. Not far from town and close to the water, we really enjoyed relaxing at the house and in the backyard. Highly recommend.

Cute little cottage in a great location. Well set up for my wife and I and our two pups who enjoyed the fenced in back yard. Only complaint is that the parking was a little weird. The neighbors I suspect are being purposefully difficult and parking their cars in such a manner that it makes it difficult for the tenant of this property to back up and leave.

Grammie’s Great Adventure

Clean, uncluttered, fenced yard, close to beach, great neighborhood for walking, quiet, everything we needed. Totally forgot how much work it is taking a 5 month old (and a 5 year old) to the beach; so great that Harvey’s Beach is less than 10 mins away. Perfect 5 day getaway for my daughter, grandchildren and me!

Lovely home , great location

Our stay at this beautiful home was perfect. Everything we needed was at our disposal . The house was clean and comfortable , the yard was private and so very peaceful and we could walk or bike to dinner . Each morning we took a walk across the causeway which was so beautiful and enjoyed golfing at Fenwick.. We look forward to a return trip.

About the host

Hosted by Alison Ginnett

Host profile image
Jim and I (Ali) love this as our own getaway-- its cozy, cute, and has great energy. We are avid adventurers. We took on, perhaps, the biggest adventure of our lives when we combined our families in June of 2021. Now a family of 7 (9 if you count the cat and pup!), we try our best to make room in the chaos for some good old fashion quality time and exploration. We're lucky that Connecticut has so much to offer right in our own backyard.

Between our day jobs, raising our family and selling houses, we can usually be found boating, scoping out a local brewery, working out or relaxing on the shoreline.

We live here in Connecticut and we love our community. We find that the best places are usually those that come with great neighbors, plenty of gems to explore and a vibe that usually leaves you wanting to come back for more. Our love of hospitality combined with my career in real estate has helped make this VRBO a great place to be!
