Beautiful and well-appointed home

This home is everything the listing says it is. It was spacious and completely updated. Everything in the home was high-end and well maintained and so many thoughtful touches. The beds were super comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and the house was large and beautifully decorated and there was plenty of parking. We wanted for nothing all week which I find to be a rarity when renting a vacation home. The week we were in Old Saybrook was rainy and a little chilly for August but the house had lots of games to occupy us and cozy blankets to keep us warm. Down by the rock beach is a little grassy area and benches that are perfect for drinking morning coffee by the water and meeting all the neighbors dogs. We will definitely be back!!

Lovely vacation home by the shore

Excellent experience. The home is solid, beautifully decorated, extremely well supplied with lovely toiletries and a fantastic kitchen with all the equipment we needed to prepare meals. Property manager was prompt in his responsiveness in setting up the heating system. This vacation home is in a wonderful location close to the beach and the town. Looking forward to returning.

Lovely Home

My family had a great experience at this cozy home. It was stocked with everything you could think of towels, linens, laundry detergent, hand soap, dish soap, sponges, ziploc bags, plastic wrap, aluminum foil, cooking spices and seasonings, coffee, sugar, paper towels, toilet paper, napkins, etc. It looks just like the photos! The beach association and neighbors are all so friendly! Beautiful location and views of the ocean. Only bummer was getting hit with Tropical storm Isaias during our stay and losing power for 2 days. (Not the owner’s fault, whatsoever). Unfortunately a back up generator was the only thing this cottage didn’t have. Despite the power outrage we still had a great vacation and I would highly recommend the house to anyone considering staying!

Absolutely Amazing Beach House

My family and I loved our week stay in this picture perfect beach house. I have rented many different homes over the past several years in this beach community, and this property has been by far the best and has set the bar very high when it comes to rentals. The location is ideal with gorgeous water views of “Rock Beach” (which is steps away from the house) from the master bedroom and it is just a quick walk/bike to Cornfield Point beach. The house is meticulous, decorated perfectly, and is so spacious. The owner Jeff was so lovely and easy to deal with and made sure that we were happy right from the start of our stay. We can not wait to return!

Truly Exceptional Stay

Jeff’s house provided one of the most lovely, and comfortable stays we have had. We enjoyed every aspect of our time there and felt very much at home. The house is immaculate, well equipped, spacious and thoughtfully designed to meet every creature comfort and convenience. Every detail felt new, bright and comfortable. The master bedroom has a beautiful view of the ocean and a luxurious master en suite bathroom. The fenced in back yard and finished basement were great spaces for our daughters to play. The kitchen has new, high end appliances and was pleasant and efficient for cooking. All the beds and pillows were exceptionally comfortable with high quality new linens throughout. The location is ideally situated in a quiet, friendly neighborhood just steps from the beach and within close proximity to other beaches and nearby restaurants and stores. Jeff was prompt, helpful, and friendly to communicate with and made our stay easy and comfortable. We are already eager to plan our next return to this dreamy, ideal home.

Spectacular house!

This was one of the best houses we've stayed in. It was completely updated, tons of room, very comfortable and clean. The beds/pillows/linens/towels were plush and cozy, the kitchen was amazing and very well stocked for any cooking needs. Plenty of parking for several cars. The master bedroom and bathroom, oh my-- so awesome!!! We didn't want to leave. The house is steps to a rocky beach access, where we enjoyed watching the sunrise every morning. Downtown had lots of great food options and plenty to do around the area. The owners were very nice to work with and responded quickly to any questions I had. I'd highly recommend this house. We hope to come back during the summer months.

About the host

Hosted by Jeff Lanza

We are a married couple who have stayed in beautiful Old Saybrook for many years on vacation. We decided to buy this beautiful home that was completely re-done! Pam is a nurse and Jeff is a professional speaker. We have two children.

Why they chose this property

It's a love at first sight story. We did not anticipate buying a home in Old Saybrook and decided to look at this house that was newly remodeled. It blew us away in terms of location, view, amenities. Everything was brand new, lots of windows and light, and in our favorite place in the world.

What makes this property unique

We love listening to the ocean at night-best sleep in the world. In the morning, we take our coffee to the bench at the end of the street to look at the water. My husband relaxes with bike rides around Old Saybrook. The day is spent at the private Cornfield Point beach. The other end of the street has an ice cream shop. Old Saybrook is a quaint town with things going on all the time-movies on the beach, concerts, Wed. and Sat. seasonal Farmers Market, Monday $1.50 Sliders at the Rabbit Hole. Some nights we just relax on the deck with a glass of wine. It is mandatory to take a glass of wine to the beach to watch the sun set. The unique benefit is the location with all the new amenities.
