This beachfront home was perfect for our family gathering-- clean, comfortable and well-appointed with expansive views from nearly every room. The location was ideal - just across a quiet main road from Fenwood beach, which is family friendly with picnic areas and barbecues. We enjoyed the spacious lawn for games, plenty of parking and proximity to town, The well-equipped kitchen and ample seating made dining at home a pleasure.Richard was extremely responsive, and everything was perfectly set up and explained for a smooth and enjoyable stay.

An Idyllic New England Weekend with All the Right Vibes

Our group soaked in everything this charming coastal home has to offer. We strolled to the beach in the morning and enjoyed dinner on the patio, and watched both sunrises and sunsets in between. Set among classic New England coastal homes, this home has a relaxed, lived-in feel that makes you instantly comfortable—like you’ve arrived somewhere familiar.

Perfect for what we were looking for. Roomy and comfortable. The property owner was very accommodating and quick to respond. Because it was off season, he even left us check in early. Would definitely recommend this place for families.

Great Location

This was our second time staying at this property for our family vacation with our daughters, sons-in-law, and grandchildren. The house is right across the street from the beach! So convenient for everyone in our group. The house is large enough for each family to have their own bathroom. It offers lots of space for gathering together or for finding a quiet spot if needed. The host was very quick to respond to questions or concerns.

Wedding weekend

The location of this property was wonderful. The views were amazing and serene as it overlooked the sound. The feel of the property is traditional quaint beach house reminding me of our childhood at the beach. The host Richard phoned me to let me know details of the property and where to find everything. We had a wonderful time in this spacious home. Thank you for aharing your home with us.

Great location, updates needed

The place is beautiful with great character and water views. It has great space for get togethers and a nice kitchen for entertaining. The heating was very uneven throughout the house leaving some guests freezing and others sweating. There was very limited hot water for showers. The beds are very hard and could use updating. Lastly, the 5th bedroom was not a bedroom. It was the front room with no storage, not enough window coverings and an uncomfortable day bed. I wanted to love this place so much!

Terrific for a relaxing getaway!

The photos that accompany the listing are indeed accurate, but they can't quite adequately convey how bright and serene an environment this house provides -- inside and out. Old Saybrook is a delightful town, and the house is also within easy proximity of, e.g., Mystic, which we like to visit. But we spent less time out and about than anticipated because we were enjoying this house and the Long Island Sound beach so much. The large, well equipped kitchen was a special treat for family members who live in NYC apartments with dinky kitchens. Beds were comfy; hot water did not run out before everyone could shower. Last, but not least, Richard is a terrific host: responsive, informative, and genuinely hospitable! Unlike the exasperating host of last year's rental (who turned out to be an agent for a property management company, not the house owner). In sum, Richard offers a wonderfully comfortable place for low-key fun and happy memory-making with friends or family, We look forward to returning!

Old Saybrook LI Sound review

The check-in process was very easy. The property was not very clean. The carpets were full of dog hair. It needs a major update. There was too much of aunt Mary’s stuff in the property. The view was amazing and the location was amazing.

Great place for our reunion gathering

The house is lovely, well equipped and with plenty of room for everyone. We were an all-adult group of friends, but the space would work equally well for families with kids or multiple generations. During our stay the weather was less than ideal (so we didn't fully take advantage of the outdoor areas and beach), but we enjoyed just hanging out and cooking meals, playing games, etc., while taking in the expansive views.

Classic Home on the water

Overall, it was a great long weekend. The house gives off 'beach house' vibes while incorporating classic furniture. The kitchen is huge and well equipped. The view says it all. The bathrooms and bedrooms were very clean. Issues were minor - such as lights not working. Grills were offered but were in terrible condition. The charcoal grill was rusty and flaking, let alone not being cleaned out.The grills shoud also be moved to the deck side of the house for the summer season so you don't have to grill on the back driveway. The bench and some of the chairs in kitchen and outside need to be replaced or repaired. Shade in kitchen does not work.The yard needs some serious attention. We sat out on deck and enjoyed the weather but when you look at all the other properties you can see this one needs work. The neighborhood is delightful and safe. We enjoyed going over to the beach and some of our family took advantge of the local golf course.We had a great weekend.

Perfect Getaway

Rented this beautiful home for a family getaway. The home is absolutely stunning and housed all 8 of us perfectly! The location was also perfect with nice walks on the nearby beaches and walking path. And I can not say enough about the host Richard. He was so accommodating and even let us reschedule due to a snow storm! Highly recommend this lovely home and sure hope to make this an annual getaway. enough about the host Richard. and
