Two lovely, well-known spas (Water's Edge and Saybrook Point) are a short 15-20 minute drive away. Hammonasset State Park (beautiful beach) is a 10 minute drive. The neighborhood has sidewalks for easy, safe walking to restaurants, the town marina, or just an evening stroll.

This place is a hidden gem! But still within a short walk or drive to coffee shop, restaurants, shopping and the beach! Ann met us when we got there and made sure we had everything we needed. A truly relaxing place with a beautiful view of the sunrise! Would definitely stay again.

Perfect getaway

We couldn’t have asked for anything more! The space was just the right size, perfectly clean, and had everything we needed. Clinton was a quiet town with breakfast spots within walking distance. Ann and Chris were fabulous hosts- friendly and helpful. And having kayaks available throughout our stay was icing on the cake! Highly recommend.

Beautiful spot, lovely hosts!

Ann and Chris were great hosts; they made sure we had everything we needed! The house was easy to find, clean and the perfect fit for my husband, 4 month old and me. It was within minutes of restaurants and was close to the Hammonasset state park. The back porch overlooking the water was beautiful and so relaxing in the morning. We would absolutely stay here again!

Comfort With Coastal Vibe

Nicely appointed inside with a sunny outdoor deck overlooking the marina and beyond. We took a walk among the quiet surrounding streets. We wished we had additional free time to kayak and explore the river that property’s marina operates. Chris and Ann are great hosts and were very accessible. Highly recommend.
