About this property

Convenient and cute in Downtown Old Saybrook

Welcome to Old Saybrook! Our apartment sits over our garage and is attached to our primary residence. It is conveniently located within walking distance to Main Street, the beach, local parks, and other town attractions. We have recently made many upgrades to the property and we're ready for guests! We look forward to sharing our home with you!

The space

The apartment is situated above our garage and has a private entry off the driveway. Guests will need to climb a short flight of stairs to reach the living area. Adjacent to the living room is a dining area and kitchen. The bedroom is accessible at the end of the kitchen and has plenty of closet space for guests. The bathroom is accessible ONLY through the bedroom, so any guests staying in the living room will need to pass through the bedroom to reach the bathroom. The shower includes a large overhead skylight and massaging shower head. There is also a stacked washer and dryer inside the bathroom for guest use.

Guest access

Guests will have full access to the apartment. The backyard, including the enclosed dog run, is shared space and use must be coordinated with the owners. We have small children and occasionally watch dogs for friends. Backyard use requires that guests adhere to all property rules.

Interaction with guests

This is our home. Even if you don't see us, you'll probably hear our children from below. We are a friendly bunch and look forward to hosting friendly guests! Let us know how we can help make your stay more enjoyable.

Other things to note

Our children aren't always as quiet as we might like them to be. We want guests to be aware that our kids might be loud in the morning and the sound does travel to the apartment. We will provide white noise machines that should help you sleep later than we do! ;-)

Could not have been happier with this Cozy Cottage!
We had a delightful long weekend stay at this Cozy Cottage. The property was exactly as advertised. It has all the creature comforts of home. The bed was super comfortable and the linens and towels were a very good quality. The location was perfect, an easy walk to downtown restaurants and a very short drive to the beach. Kelly and Lee were great hosts, they were very responsive to all our communication.

I had some business in CT and decided to take a few days of rest and relaxation. I packed my sewing machine and a few books and headed north! This property was perfect. I felt safe and comfortable. I had everything I needed for a quiet weekend.

This apartment was very comfortable and a perfect location in Old Saybrook. We greatly appreciate the toiletries and kitchen niceties that the owner had available. It truly was like staying with a friend. Old Saybrook is the quintessential New England town, just beautiful.

Lee and Kelly's place was absolutely amazing. Although we were there for less than 24 hours, we loved everything about it: it was clean, bright, and perfect for what we needed. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a place to stay in the Old Saybrook area.

Awesome First VRBO Experience
I had a wonder time at this stay! It was a great way to spend the last night with my mom and sisters before getting married at a venue nearby. Lee & Kelly were very accommodating and so easy to communicate with! I’d love to return with my husband one day for a mini getaway!

My daughter and I were in town for the night and Kelly and Lee’s place was the perfect stay with our two dogs. The dog run out back was ideal and the condo was clean and had all the amenities we needed. Thanks, Kelly and Lee for a great stay!

Great home away from home
I am so glad I found this place to stay, especially since I grew up in the area and return often to visit. We enjoyed getting to know the family and loved the property. The apartment had everything we needed. We alternated swimming in their pool and going to the beach which is five minutes away. Old Saybrook is a great town and we enjoyed being close to main street also. Thank you!

Perfect easy getaway
Lee and Kelly were great communicating with our family prior to our stay, ensuring we didn’t need to pack more than we needed with two small children. Our trip was short but refreshing, the town is within walking distance and a perfect example of coastal CT. We will be back!

Cozy Christmas!
Our stay at Lee and Kelly's was just what we needed. Super cozy space, close to family and Main Street, and perfectly sized for our Christmas stay. The dog run was so helpful for our 3 fur babies that stayed with us- also super quick to communicate any needs to Lee and Kelly and taken care of quickly (a bit of ice!). Cute space and exactly what we were looking for during our visit home. Thank you, Lee and Kelly!!

Excellent and cozy apartment, just a quick 10 minute walk to downtown Old Saybrook. We were there just one night, specifically for a show at "The Kate" theater venue. It could not have been more convenient for the show and a nice dinner before hand. This apartment was filled with all the necessities for a much longer stay than just our one night. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to spend a night, a week, or even longer in Old Saybrook.
