About this property

1 bedroom apartment on the water

Come and enjoy a memorable vacation in this fully furnished, 1 bedroom, 1 bath property on the water.

The apartment has a fully equipped kitchen and dining area. The main/master bedroom has a king bed, while the common area has a convertible full size sofa.

The elevated deck on the back of the house is perfect for watching the river as paddle boarders float by, or for watching osprey search for fish. The yard is fully accessible and provides access to the water's edge.

It is also a birdwatcher's paradise!

Spend the day here, at the beach or enjoying nearby attractions such as the Old Lyme Art Association, the Florence Griswold House or head over to Mystic Seaport.

One of the bays of the three-car garage is available for use during the stay.

I want to keep it a secret, we lived in Old Lyme and by far this was a treat.

Relaxing looking at that view, makes you want to just stay there. My dream of a get away. I wanted to keep it a secret! I would go in the winter. Didn’t catch any blue crabs, we saw them.

A rare gem on the water near NY

We’ve done quite a bit of vrbo’ing and our expectations have never been surpassed, until now. This place is truly magnificent. I didn’t want to write a review because I prefer to keep it to ourselves but … the owners were all so lovely and helpful. They deserve a high a rating and positive feedback. You can jump in the river on the property (water shoes a good idea though i did fine without them), or take a short drive, bike ride or walk to the ocean. Mostly we enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the water and birds. Our 4 yr old standard poodle had a blast running on the well-kept lawns of the property. Magnificent!

Better than the pictures

The apartment was absolutely perfect! Better than the pictures! Lovely spot, on the river. Updated and our hosts were so friendly and responsive. We had friends over for drinks on the deck and all were impressed. Loved watching the activities on the water, sunsets and wildlife. We hope to come back again. Thank you Margaret!

Great Place in a Great Location

The apartment was charming, comfortable, peaceful and very quiet, with a wonderful view out over the marshes, and lots of lovely spots nearby to explore. I saw lots of birds and other wildlife right on the property and on the nearby beaches and estuaries. I did all of my own cooking in the very well-equipped kitchen, but there are lots of good restaurants in the area--and also lots of fascinating local attractions that it would be nice to visit once the pandemic is over.

Awesome location

My husband, my dog and I loved the location. We rode our bikes to the beach, to restaurants, to ice cream, to kayak rental...everything it was very close to the house. The house has a beautiful view of the river, very nice to enjoy sunsets! The house it was very clean and cozy. Margaret was great at answering all of the questions I had, and Jenn (her mother) was a sweetheart at check in. We will definitely book again!

The Sunsets Make Everything Worthwhile

It's a beautiful location with the skies serving up fabulous sunsets every single day. Even when the weather is cloudy, the skies somehow manage to make it look wonderful as it dances on the water. We had access to the private beach about a two minute drive or a short walk away and it was wonderful to have the opportunity to be outdoors and by the ocean without anybody nearby except for the occasional family member (of the host). We are a family that likes to read, talk, and hang out with each other and generally keep to ourselves when on holiday, and it was almost always possible to do so. If you want to kayak or paddle board (both very tempting as you watch others doing so), get permission ahead of time to use the kayaks, and make sure that you have access to PFDs either by bringing them yourself or having them provided. And stay connected to Margaret who is quite responsive - our arrival was delayed, and we had a couple of issues which she addressed as soon as she was able to. I would love to return here with my daughters.

Wonderful views

I and my pets really enjoyed our stay in the apartment. The views the water and wildlife entertained both me and my pets. I especially enjoyed having a stove , refrigerator and toaster which I hadn't had in five months. The owner of the property was a delight. I would recommend it to anyone.

Lovely property!

Stayed for a month during a renovation. Jenn and Margaret are lovely, and Jenn really cares for the property wonderfully. Beautiful and clean. Best location on the Black Hall River. Osprey and wildlife galore. Convenient to all amenities. I have recommended the apt to several friends. Thank you for a great stay during a stressful renovation!!!

About the host

Hosted by Margaret

Our family has been in Old Lyme for generations and fully appreciate the attributes of the town and our little corner of it.

Why they chose this property

The apartment and adjacent house have been in the family for many years. Both were leased as long term rentals. The apartment was the "office" for the occupants of the main house. It has been fully remodeled with a separate entrance.
