Great Cottage

We had a fantastic stay. We’ve been coming to Chalker for many years but this is the first time we rented. Couldn’t ask for anything else. We were very comfortable all week. The special touches were greatly appreciated.

Amazing week in Old Saybrook!! The home was adorable. So many nice touches such as a welcome basket and flowers. Both owners were more than gracious and answered every question. They went beyond kindness when they shared their backyard kayak launch. Thanks Wayne and Ann. We will be back.

Fun Fourth of July stay at Chalker Beach

This house worked great for our family and had everything we needed. It was very clean which we appreciated. The owners were helpful and responded quickly to any questions we had. We also enjoyed the activities like Bingo organized by the Chalker Beach association. It is about a ten minute walk to the beach but you can park in a lot across from the beach once you get the temporary parking permit which makes it easy to bring your stuff there.

Great Cottage

This cottage was a very quaint cottage. Very well maintained and clean. Had all the amenities that you would need on vacation. Our family enjoyed our time there very much. The beach was fantastic. Not to crowded during the week. A little busy on the weekend but that was to be expected. 7/30/22 - 8/6/22

Another wonderful week in this adorable cottage

This is our second summer spending a week in this beautiful cottage while visiting family in Old Saybrook. The cottage is clean and well-stocked, with plenty of room for us and our 2 teenage boys. They liked walking to the beach and Chalker Beach store. We enjoyed a Father’s Day cookout with the grill and lovely screened-in outdoor dining area.

A lovely cottage

I enjoyed my stay very much. Everything was great. No complaints. My only objection was the large amount of commercial traffic going by, mainly due I believe, to the construction of two houses down the street.

Hurricane Henri relief

The accommodations were excellent. A clean and unique property close to Chalker beach. The owners couldn’t be more attentive to the every need of the renter. A welcome basket and golf cart shuttle ride of the area made it even more special. Thank you AnneMarie and Wayne! Hopefully we can return next year.

Loved relaxing on the porch. Happened to meet the owners who were very nice. We had a great vacation and would stay there again in a heartbeat. Love Chalker Beach.

Wonderful family vacation cottage!

We spent a great week at this lovely cottage visiting our family that live in Old Saybrook. The cottage was very comfortable for our family of 4 - our tween boys loved walking to the beach and store on their own, and playing BINGO at the Association building. The cottage had everything we needed, we especially appreciated the screen-enclosed outdoor table in the backyard for eating dinner, and the DVDs and board games for a rainy day. We definitely look forward to coming back to vacation here again next summer.

Perfect Beach Cottage Getaway

This was our first family trip post pandemic. I’m a single mama traveling by car from Illinois with my kiddos (19, 16, 8) and this place was perfect for all of us! Chalker Beach at the end of the road was cute (although Harvey’s Beach was my youngest’s fav) and we were a quick carride from Niantic, Mystic (Aquarium and Seaport), Watch Hill, Haddam (Gillette Castle), Hartford (CT Science Center) and even Deerfield (Yankee Candle Village). So many places to visit - we needed more time! Ann Marie was responsive and kind. The place had fresh flowers and a welcome basket. She also personally drove to the house to pass along an old friend’s contact info who reached out to her and we were able to connect after almost 3 decades. The only disappointment with our stay was that it couldn’t be longer.
