Lovely holiday stay
My Mom, daughter, and I stayed in this charming Old Saybrook home over the Christmas holiday. It was easy to access the house and there were good instructions for how to use various electronics and appliances. The house was clean and looked just like it did in the photos. We enjoyed cooking our Christmas dinner and that there was plenty of space for our family of 6 to feast and play games together at the kitchen table. There were no guests arriving immediately after us and we very much appreciated the flexibility the hosts allowed on the check out time. We would certainly stay here again!

Happy Thanksgiving!
We enjoy hosting a festive Thanksgiving each year. Grateful for wonderful family who make the trip including across the country. This charming cottage feels like a second home to the ones lucky to stay last year as well. It's perfect for our overflow of guests. Spacious, clean and especially welcoming with a gracious host. We highly recommend visiting this lovely beach cottage on your next trip through Old Saybrook!

Nice home in quiet neighborhood
This is a very comfortable home in quiet neighborhood. Easy to access with easy parking. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was very well equipped with just about anything you would need to cook a meal. There were also some basic stocks/supplies that made the first day very easy before we ventured out to get more. Old Saybrook is a very cute town that has a ton of restaurants/taverns for lunches and dinners. We were there in the late fall so the beach was not on our itinerary but it was a short walk to the water and would be great in the summer time. We did have one minor maintenance issue while there and the owner very quickly addressed. I was very impressed with the response time and the thoroughness of the resolution.

Great house
We had a wedding to attend in old Lyme and thought old saybrook looked like a nice area near the ocean.. We booked this little ranch thinking this would be good since we had an elderly person in our party and we were right! The house was great for many more reasons though!! It is very spacious with a great separate space downstairs and super easy for anyone to get around.. the outdoor space is very good too ,And the host provided everything you’d need. Thanks for a great stay

Will be back
Old Saybrook is a very comfortable, clean, and well kept home. Sizeable bedrooms and baths, comfortable beds, and ample linens provided. Basically, check in using the security code and that's it! We are so happy we chose Old Saybrook for our stay, as it made for a very comfortable, and relaxing trip. We were not there long enough to have enjoyed the back yard grill, but surely would have if we could. BTW...the host is GREAT!!!

Great Place!
We enjoyed our stay, the house was very clean and well equipped for our families needs including crib and port-a-crib for my two grandchildren (14 months and 4 months) so we did not need to bring these items. Short walk in a beautiful quiet neighborhood to the ocean, along with plenty of places to eat and shop near the house. Host was very responsive and kind. If we are in the area again i would absolutely book this place again!

Clean Place in a Quaint Town
Very clean and well organized. They had a good assortment of kitchen supplies although dishcloths and more towels for the kitchen would be nice. House was spacious for our group of 7 with a nice room in the basement for our 2 young kids to play. Short drive to places of interest and dining.

Great house, wonderful neighborhood!
In the area for a family function. This home is great for any family. Fenced yard, quiet neighborhood. A few minutes walk to the beach walk. Marsh views at the end of the block. Kitchen has enough to cook meals. Baths are good size. If we come back into the area, it will be at the top of our list.

Perfect OS getaway
This was a wonderful place to stay in OS. The basement area was great to have separation from the kids and they loved playing games down there or in the beautiful fully fenced backyard. Very well appointed kitchen with everything you need and the beds were super comfortable. The host was a great communicator before and after the trip. Will definitely be a repeat visitor.

Charming and comfortable!
A great location in a lovely neighborhood with ample room for our group of six including one elderly man with limited mobility. The hosts were thoughtful and left great instructions and suggestions for local restaurants and activities. Very clean with a lovely backyard including a grill. We all decided a longer trip to Old Saybrook is on our future wishlist!

If perfection was a place
Booked this property in the fall of 2022 since we knew we would be in the area for Yale's graduation in the spring. The pictures don't do it justice. Absolutely gorgeous home and it's located on a quiet street. Easy access to a beautiful beach nearby and plenty of outdoor space on the property (backyard is lovely). Loved having a washer and dryer on the property and owners have plenty of your basic necessities stocked. There is a Walmart close by (about a 5-6 minute drive) should you need anything else. The Apple TV does take a minute to figure out (maybe more instructions could be placed by the remotes?) but it wasn't the end of the world. Our rental vehicle was an Expedition and we had plenty of room for parking in the driveway. Only wish we knew about this place when we were bringing our student here every year, instead of only having one weekend to enjoy!

Fabulous home
What a terrifically clean and well appointed home. All was just as we would have liked, and we would stay there again just to be in such comfortable surroundings. We would welcome a few more bits of information in the orientation documents: we were not local so didn't realize the need for passes to go to the beach, for instance. And we struggled to figure out the television equipment -- maybe we are just old folks, but a few instructions would help. The property manager answered our questions promptly and graciously, and we couldn't ask for better.

Girl’s Weekend 2022
Host was very accommodating with our request for early check-in. Upon arrival, we were welcomed by a friendly landscaping team, letting us know they had just finished with clean-up of the property. The home was comfortable, well-appointed and was so, very comfortable for our group of 5 who love to lounge, drink coffee, drink wine, share meals and chat. Everything has been thought of! Location is close to Main St., a short drive, for some great shopping. We had a great meal at Penny Lane. A short walk from the house to a spectacular water view! 5 stars!

Beautiful immaculate home
This was an exceptionally clean home in a lovely neighborhood. We enjoyed our morning walks along the shoreline and watching local anglers. The home was well appointed for a few days with family. The location was convenient to New Haven and we enjoyed a day trip to Newport. Communication was prompt and helpful with property owner. Thank you for a lovely stay.
