Amazing week in Old Saybrook!

We loved everything about this cottage! It was a hot week in CT, but the shoreline breezes kept us pretty cool. We woke up in the mornings to sip coffee on the deck overlooking the ocean and took long walks on the sand dunes at low tide. My kids loved it and we cherished our week...already looking forward to next year!

Great time

What a lovely spot! A perfect beach location. Ocean-swimming off the dock at high tide and endless sand bar wandering during low tide. And beautiful marsh views were a pleasant surprise! Plenty of egrets, osprey, etc. to watch. Very quiet and relaxing. Fantastic deck and gracious host. We had a wonderful week!

Hidden Paradise

What an amazing property and stay we had! We booked after we fell in love with Old Saybrook and Harvey's beach a couple years ago. The tide goes way out just like Cape Cod, WITHOUT all the traffic to get there! The sunrise and sunsets are so stunning. My 7 year old absolutely loved combing the beach at each and every low tide. We saw so many horseshoe crabs, tiny ones to huge ones, even a tagged one! The house had board games, which we loved playing on rainy days. We made so many great memories. The house had all we needed and MORE. We brought some kitchen things with us, but we really didn't need much. The property sits on a cul-de-sac and do not have properties sitting on top of it on either side, which was fantastic. Gives a little more room and privacy on out on the deck. No one is sitting on top of you on either side like other beach houses. Lots of great restaurants nearby, Liv's Shack for lobster rolls and Alforno Trattoria for pizza (and great drinks!) and great shopping, also. Everyone in Old Saybrook is so pleasant. I would be, too if I lived there year-round. Thanks, again to Beth and her family for providing such an inviting cottage. We will be back!!

Perfect location... exactly as described

My husband and I, along with our four young children stayed here as a last minute vacation this summer. It was one of the best vacations we've been on. You can't beat the location or the sunsets from the deck. The neighborhood is very quiet and friendly. The kids loved crabbing and finding shells at low tide. The cottage was exactly as described and was very well equipped. The owner was responsive and checked in during the week. We would definitely be interested in renting here again in the future!

Great location

Planning a family vacation was a bit more challenging due to covid, so we stayed local. I found this location on this site. Everything was just as it said it would be. It was peaceful, beautiful deck. The kitchen had whatever you needed to cook. One of the best things was being able to walk out to the sandbars. The owner checked it. I would definitely be interested in booking again.

A Special Place by the Sea

This was one of the most relaxing vacations I have had in a long time. We had been renting places on the Cape for many years but due to medical issues in the family , we felt more comfortable staying in state. I am so glad we chose to rent this property. It not only matched my expectations it surpassed them. It is a cottage in the true sense of the word . Small and simple and full of charm. The minute I walked in the door after being greeted by the owner I could just tell this was a very special place. The beauty of viewing the evening sunsets from the deck, The sand bars where you can stroll along the beach for what seems like miles, the sound of the sea that surrounds you as you fall asleep at night. If you are a person looking to unwind and live by the ebb and flow of the tides this is the place. Behind the house is a saltwater marsh and the view and bird watching from this place is amazing. If you love to Kayak or paddle board this would be a good choice. The owner was so wonderful and wanted to make sure everything was perfect for our stay. She even called to check in with us, which was greatly appreciated. The kitchen was stocked with all the essentials and most importantly all the appliances worked. I have stayed in so many rentals where what was promised was not what was there. Not the case at this property. You can tell that those who own it really love and care for this place. It was clean , comfortable and has an easy laid back feel. I would rent this place again
