Great property

We never knew how fantastic the CT coast could be! This house had it all! The house was spacious and beautifully decorated. I've stayed in many rentals around the world and this property was by far the best stocked with everything; cookware, linens, toys, beach equipment, outside furniture and more. The location was perfect for families, a short drive, walk or kayak trip to multiple beaches and playgrounds! Our family had so much fun searching for crabs, fish and periwinkles. We would love to come back again!

Perfection

This is our 4th year staying here. Nine of us from all over the country gather every year for Ocean Beach Park Polka days. This house has it all. There is plenty of room for us to gather together for dinner or to get away. The outdoor space is relaxing and perfect for an afternoon cocktail. It’s super clean and has a fully stocked kitchen and everything you need to go to the beach. Thanks, Leslie, for sharing your home with us - we can’t wait until next year!

Great House!

The house was very nice and had everything you need. The outdoor patio was gorgeous and so peaceful in the morning. The house had a coffee station with coffee cup coffee maker and hot cocoa! The desk and charging station was very useful in the main living space. The only minus I had was a severe lack of cell coverage in the area and bad network connectivity upstairs. If you need to work at all you will need to stay on the main floor and near a window and hope. If you are going to unplug and relax, this house is perfect for you!

Ocean beach Park Polka Days

This is our third year staying here and the house never disappoints! It has everything you need to cook, enough areas to get away from each other, and enough space to be together. The outdoor space is perfect. Thanks, Leslie, for allowing us to make your home our home for the week! Can’t wait until next year!

Excellent spot!

This house was great! The patio was amazing! So peaceful in the morning and evening to sit and watch the sun rise or set. Very convenient location. House is well laid out and has everything you need. Coffee station with k-cup brewer was a nice touch. Charging station in main living space was so appreciated! Only slight detractor was there is no cell coverage in this area. None. If you are looking to fully disconnect that is great! We needed to keep some work going so this was a small annoyance. Also, the Wi-Fi is there but not strong and did not stay connected upstairs well. Just something to note if you need to stay connected. House was perfect though and we’d stay again. Thanks!

Lots of space!

We had a wonderful stay while in town for our son’s graduation from USCGA! Plenty of rooms to spread out. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with every gadget, pot, pan, etc. you could possibly need. Unfortunately, it was a little chilly for us to fully enjoy the outdoor space.

Beautiful home!

We spent Family Weekend at the USCGA with our Cadet and this house was perfect for us! Loved the decor, ambiance, being on the water and the views were beautiful. Fully stocked kitchen was great, charger station was very helpful, and having three full baths was HUGE! You can't beat the living areas and bedrooms. Leslie was very gracious to us. We all agreed this is where we want to stay the next time we return!

7 Girls Getaway-3 Generations

This home is very nicely decorated and very well equipped. The home has some nice amenities, such as being located on a cove, ample parking and quiet street. We enjoyed going to Mystic, Rocky Neck State Park, take-out from Fred’s Seafood Shanty, and took a trip to Watch Hill, RI. We missed getting a reservation to do the Lighthouse Tour about the Cross Sound Ferry (book in advance). It is hard to keep floors clean in a vacation home, so we did notice the effects of that. Everything else inside was very clean. The outside area could use some cleaning of dead leaves and dead plants in planters. Overall, we had an awesome visit and would definitely recommend to others.

Amazing beach house!

The house had all the bells and whistles! We stayed with another family who also had small kids, and the upstairs and downstairs felt like two separate rentals. The middle floor and awesome outdoor spaces served as the common areas. Multiple beaches are within walking distance, including one that had a boardwalk! The outdoor bar area had direct access to a nice cove for where the kids could swim. We also kayaked (brought our own but I believe there are some available for a fee) across the cove to a playground for the kids to use. The adults also kayaked from the cove to the sound. Couldn’t ask for a better house and area for families with small children! Our contact for the property, Leslie, was very responsive and helpful too!

Perfect summer vacation house!

Beautiful house with all the bells and whistles; it even has an outdoor shower tucked inside vines! We stayed with another family and the upstairs and downstairs each felt like their own private rentals and the middle floor and outdoor areas served as a common hang out area. Walking distance to multiple beaches (one with a boardwalk). The house also had direct access to a cove that we used to kayak directly into the sound (we brought our own kayaks but I believe there are also some available for a fee). Family friendly house and location too; directly across the cove is a playground you can easily kayak over to play on with the kids.

The kitchen has everything you need. The patio and outdoor bar are perfect for a quiet cup of coffee in the morning or cocktails in the evening. The owner was quick to respond to any questions we had. We had so much fun and can’t wait to come back next year!

We were there for a graduation, and we are a family of 8. This house was perfect! It has everything you need for your stay, the view was breathtaking. Leslie was wonderful with giving us all the info we needed to check in and out. Everything was so perfect we didn’t need to call Leslie for anything because we didn’t have any issues. I recommend this home. We will stay there again. Loved it.

Lots of Wildlife and Quiet Morning Coffee on the Deck

Great home for families or multiple couples. Plenty of space and areas to retreat to. Excellent decor and endless ammenties. Excellent place for a family with grandparents, young kids, or multiple couples w/ kids. We had a great time Labor Day weekend and everything we needed was there. Location wasn't my favorite, having stayed in Mystic earlier in the summer this house was further away from the things we wanted to go to. Ocean Beach Park was convenient to walk to but I found it slightly dirty and a bit trashy. We took the kids one day and I won't be returning on nay future trips (the beach and water were beautiful but the crowd was "rough", the rides weren't exactly open and the food places were all closed, it was a bizarre place). The home was awesome and I highly recommend it to anyone staying in the area. Really appreciate the hospitality of Kelley and the warmth we all felt in her home. Thank you for a great stay!!

2nd Stay - 2nd Great Experience

This is a great property in a great location, and this was a return trip. We were able to enjoy easy kayak trips to Alewife Cove or the local beaches. The outdoor patio/bar area became a focal point for children and adults. The owners provide inviting, comfortable outdoor furniture. The kitchen is surprisingly well-outfitted, and we were able to easily prepare many meals for our group of 10 people. In general, washer, dryer, and kitchen appliances are top notch. And kudos to our hosts for the many extras they provide to make us feel right at home.

We had the best vacation at Ridgewood by the sea!!! The house was immaculate and had every amenity. As described in the listing there are two separate living spaces which was great for our two families with young children. We enjoyed Waterford beach and felt like we were in Florida!
