Our family of 6 adults and 5 children loved this property. It was perfect for our needs and very nicely decorated. The beach access was close and the kids loved collecting stones and climbing on the rocks. Communication with the host was simple and quick!
My family and I loved this house. It was a great space for me and my sister to bring our kids. They played often in the front room together, but had their separate space for sleep and unwinding at the end of the night. We used a lot of the kitchen stuff- all very easy to access. You can easily fit three cars in the driveway. The beach across the street was very cute and the neighbors were really friendly. We also checked out Clinton beach- which was a quick drive (a little pricey but a great spot for kids) and Hammanasette park- also a great spot, but a bit more crowded. The outlets are also very close- so helpful for back to school shopping. Liz responded quickly to any questions we had.
This was a great location- right by the beach- the house was super clean and well stocked. The backyard was a huge plus and our family enjoyed playing corn hole and relaxing out back.
My wedding party stayed here during wedding weekend and had a fantastic time! The house was fully stocked with everything we needed and the backyard was the perfect spot to relax. I highly recommend this home and hope to stay here again!
We didn’t spend much time at the property as we were in town for a graduation but it was perfect! Homey feeling and great kitchen to prepare some food. Beds were comfy and everything was spotless. Short walk to the shore. Highly recommend it!
This is an absolutely beautiful property with a perfect backyard and convenient private beach across the street. Everything you could ever need was provided. We spent a long weekend here with our children for my dad's 70th birthday and it did not disappoint! Highly recommend booking if you are looking for a quiet and comfortable getaway at a beautifully modern home with plenty of room for a large family.
We flew from California to attend my daughters graduation in New Haven, we are very pleased with what the place had to offer. The place was clean, easy access to the beach, quiet area.
Nicely decorated home with all promised amenities. Our Host was very thoughtful and provided a welcoming gift of Prosecco in each kitchen. Only concerns were the driveway is tight for large SUVs and the WiFi/Internet signal strength was a little weak. Overall a great vacation home.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the home and the little welcome gift. We weren’t aware of the Wi-Fi signal issue, but we’re already looking into upgrading it to make sure it’s stronger for future stays. As for the driveway, we do note in our listing that it’s tight, but we feel lucky to have on-site parking in this area. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back again!
This property exceeded our expectations! It fit our large group very well. We all loved the bedding because it was so soft! We loved the backyard and the beach. It was a perfect weekend.
Booked this house for my daughter and her friends for a relaxing girls trip/ bachelorette weekend and they LOVED it.
The house was perfect, the beach was great, clear communication all around. My daughter couldn’t stop talking about how perfect of a weekend it was and how she would 100% go back.
Highly recommend!
This served as home base for a family vacation on Clinton beach. Liz is a gem - super helpful and responsive. Her home is as described. Tastefully furnished and very welcoming. The community spaces are excellent for bringing the family together. This is a great rental if you have a big family.
Twin Pine Fig home is a great place to stay and exceeded all expectations! Beautiful location, peaceful home! The twin home gave our friends and family the space they needed while still being together in the same home. Liz was a great host and has taken great care to make her guests comfortable and make pine/fig home a restful and relaxing place.
Outward appearance of the house is well kept. Host is very responsive which we appreciated. The one side of the house did not have a dishwasher or full size washer/dryer however the other side had both. Bathrooms were well stocked with necessities. Beds were very comfortable. Refrigerators did not feel cold until we turned them up. Very noisy stairs. One of the spindles popped right off posing a hazard.The sunroom was a great room for our kids to play and hangout. The house was not cleaned to our satisfaction as the floors were very dirty (turned socks and paper towels brown the first day we were there). I messaged the host and she expressed that they have never run into that issue in the past. There was a moldy pizza left in the oven and a 1/2 eaten cake in the freezer that was not disposed of before we arrived. We had an issue with ants and earwigs and thus bought ant traps. The air conditioning units in the bedrooms worked however we had to turn it down to 66 in order for it to feel cool. If you do not put the air setting on “dry” then your room and everything in it will feel damp. The outdoor showers were great and the beach across the street was a nice perk however it’s not a beach that you’d really want to sit and play at as it’s mostly shells and rocks and there is very little space for people who do not live right on the beach. The state park was great, short drive, not overly crowded, only 15 to park for the day and facilities were well maintained.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the sunroom, found the beds comfortable, appreciated our responsiveness, and made use of the outdoor showers and nearby beach access.
We do want to address a few points for future guests. Cleanliness has always been one of our highest priorities, and in hosting many guests over the years, we have maintained consistent 10/10 cleanliness ratings without previous complaints of dirty floors. Our cleaning team thoroughly vacuums and mops the floors after every stay. When this concern was brought to our attention, the photo we received showed only lightly discolored cleaning wipes, but we still took the feedback seriously and immediately contacted our cleaning team to investigate.
Regarding the food that was left behind, this was an honest oversight by our cleaning team, the first time anything like this has happened. We sincerely apologized during your stay and sent a gift as a gesture of goodwill because we wanted to make things right.
As for insects, our home is professionally treated on a quarterly basis, and we do not have an infestation. Being in a coastal area, it is not uncommon for the occasional ant or earwig to find its way inside, particularly during the warmer months. We also proactively keep ant traps available as an added precaution for the rare visitor.
We also appreciated you letting us know about the loose spindle. It has since been addressed, as guest safety is very important to us.
This rental is so unique with the 2 sides, and was absolutely perfect for our wedding weekend. We had the groom’s friends staying on one side, and my friends staying on the other side. The two sides are connected through the sunroom and the backyard space is great which made bringing the whole group together so easy. The setup was also perfect for me to get ready on my own separate side the day of the wedding so that my now husband wouldn’t see me. The decor and cleanliness of the house were also perfect. We had some warm weather and were able to enjoy the beach right across the street multiple times during our stay. I would love to come back here next time we’re looking for a space for a large group. Everyone commented on how nice the house was. Thanks so much Liz for hosting us!
We were primarily in search of a house that could accomodate a multi-generational family near Hammonassett beach, and this house did that admirably. The sun room was a great spot to hang out in. The bedrooms and living spaces were impeccable, and the backyard offered tranquil views of the marsh and osprey nests which could be seen out the back windows of the house. Property owners were quick to respond to questions and did everything they could to accomodate us. The house also offers some narrow beach access across the street, which is best suited for casual walks and short stays.
For families of 8 or more that like to eat together: you may want to bring a small card table with you as the dining rooms in each house are made for 6.
We had a wonderful week together in the twinhome and are thankful for the memories we made there.
d the backyard
We had a great time at this property. We had a group of 10 people staying here, and we all fit pretty comfortably (some couples were on full beds, but everyone had their own room).
The glass sunroom is gorgeous, and we spent basically our entire trip hanging out there. Lovely beachside access, cute dogs around, generally a very quaint place to be.
A few quirks of the property — the parking situation isn’t wonderful. You can fit 3/4 cars in the driveway, but they are all in a line, so you’ll have to play some parking Tetris. We were in town for my wedding and needed additional parking for our hair and makeup artists and such, and thankfully there was a very kind neighbor who let us park multiple cars on his property. The house is also creaky with steep stairs, and it does make a loud rattling noise when anyone showers or does dishes, so be mindful if you’re a light sleeper.
It was overall a great experience. Thanks for hosting us!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're delighted to hear that your group of 10 had a comfortable stay and enjoyed the gorgeous glass sunroom and beachside access. We're glad you found our neighborhood friendly and accommodating.
We appreciate your understanding regarding the parking situation. As mentioned in our property description, the driveway can fit 3-4 cars in a line, and we always strive to inform our guests about this to help with planning. Our house, built in the 1920s, is called a cottage for a reason, and its age does contribute to the occasional creaks and noises.
Thank you for choosing our property for such a special occasion. We hope to host you again in the future!
The duplex homes are wonderful. They are renovated and styled beautifully. You walk across the street to the beach and the backyard is perfect for children to play . Also, 2 outdoor showers in the back.
