Super cute cottage and super hosts

Comfort: the bed was comfy for me, but might be on the too soft side for some people. Pleasant surprises: the bathroom appears cramped in the photos, but I found it comfortable and functional and I’m a pretty plus sized person. There is a small step up from the tub level to the sink and toilet level. The tub has two shower heads, a regular one and a detachable sprayer. You have to pull down on a fitting at the tub spout to activate the shower sprayer, which is a mechanism I’m not familiar with. Probably it would be good to note that in the info binder. But maybe it is in there and I just read it and forgot!The decor is very cute and color coordinated, down to the board games on the shelf in the living room. Everything is clearly labeled around the house The hosts are great! Very helpful and responsive through the app during normal waking hours and they provide an emergency number as well. We left an item behind and they offered to forward it. The best kind of hosts!

Connecticut Beach Cottage Gem!

My family and I (me, my husband, and our eight-year-old daughter) recently stayed at this delightful cottage for our beach getaway. We had a magnificent time, and everything we experienced lived up to the Vrbo description and stellar reviews. The decor is adorable and peaceful, and having a full kitchen, beach amenities, and a washer/dryer made a huge difference in our stay. Bill and Dorothy are excellent hosts, and I highly recommend this beach cottage to anyone contemplating a summertime getaway.

The Best Place in Southeastern Ct….

The hosts, Dorothy and Bill, continue to deliver the best rental experience one could ask for. They meet, and exceed, every expectation the listing offers. They are communicative and attentive. The quality of the appliances and cookware make things comforting and easy. As a frequent user of vacation rentals, I cannot think of a better experience. Look no further.

Perfect Beach get away

The house was clean and neighborhood was quiet. The kitchen had every cooking utensil, dishes, pans, etc that we could ever need. The convenience to the beach was perfect especially when our two little grandchildren (4 and 5) joined us for 2 days. It was a perfect vacation!!

LOVELY BEACH COTTAGE CLOSE TO BEACH

When we first entered this property, we knew we made a great choice! This house is close to Mystic, Niantic and Old Saybrook. After a few days, our daughter, son-in-law and their two young boys joined us for 3 nights. Restaurants they recommended were great. We would recommend this Connecticut destination!
