Mid-Century Shoreline Cottage; Birder Paradise

Experience the serene beauty of Guilford at our charming 3-bedroom cottage in the picturesque Mulberry Point area. It's just a two-minute walk from the shoreline, which has a free public beach with parking—and it's dog-friendly. It's a perfect retreat for nature lovers and beachgoers, offering both the tranquility of nature and the convenience of nearby attractions and amenities.

Scenic Views and Natural Surroundings
Our cottage features a large raised deck off the kitchen, providing beautiful views of a vibrant salt marsh and glimpses of the Long Island Sound during the fall and winter seasons. The deck is a birdwatcher's paradise, with frequent sightings of ospreys, cardinals, blue jays, hawks, playful chipmunks, bunnies, deer, opossums and other wildlife. A quiet, wooded trail adjacent to the house offers peaceful walks to the Tuttle's Point, Mulberry Point, and Indian Cove areas.

It's a 15-minute scenic walk or a 5-minute drive to Chaffinch Island Park, a local gem where you can relax by the water or enjoy a barbecue. Down the road is a trailhead to Westwoods for hiking; easy access to explore 39 miles of hiking trails. We are conveniently located just one mile from the historic Guilford Green, the Guilford Library, and various shops and restaurants. Additional nearby attractions include Branford, with its ferry service to the Thimble Islands, Stony Creek Brewery, galleries, seafood, local theater, and other dining options.
