About this property
great for families, large yard, seeking 25-26 academic renters - 2400sf
Our home offers the charm of old and the convenience of the new! We added on to the original 1940 cottage to create a new 2400 sq. ft. home that is perfect for hosting extended families. Now with full AC! Sleeps 12 comfortably with 2 full baths, one on the first floor. 4 bedrooms (upstairs and down) including a 'kids' bunk room that sleeps 6. The game and TV room, enclosed front porch with a children’s play area, and the airy and sunny breezeway for morning coffee or dining offers plenty of room to spread out. Our large private outdoor space is comfortable for cookouts and dining on the covered porch or for visiting by the fire pit. The shaded yard has room to play and we have plenty of parking off the street - not common! Our shed is full of beach gear and lawn games and the outdoor shower is perfect for returning after a beach day. Short walk to the beach, ice cream, conveniences, and the Sound View carousel. Please, no pets or smoking in the house.
We think you'll love our cottage's cleanliness and friendliness as much as we do. The indoor/outdoor spaces are perfectly set-up for families! Ask us about winter rentals! Week-only rental in Jul/Aug. 3-day min/ holidays. Family gatherings - yes! Big party crew, not the place.

About the host
Hosted by Tracy McQuade
Three sisters and their families share this well-loved, well-maintained cottage for half of the summer, and rent for the other half. Old Lyme is where we grew up - we now hang our hats in Hamden, CT; Northhampton, MA; and Aix-en-Provence, France!
We think you'll love our cottage's cleanliness and friendliness as much as we do. The indoor/outdoor spaces are perfectly set-up for families!

Why they chose this property
We bought a small cottage with a big lot in 1998 and recently expanded the building to comfortably host our growing family and yours! We grew up nearby and all worked at the original Sound View Donut Shop in our teens. We are so pleased to share this home, this area, and this beach with our family, friends, and with you too!
What makes this property unique
The cottage is spacious and great for family time, the yard and outdoor porch space is large and very comfortable. Plenty of off-street parking.
