My college friends and I went for a girls weekend and it was absolutely lovely! We loved everything about the house especially the view and Tara was an absolute dream to communicate with- definitely will be back!

We had a magical stay! This luxurious home had breathtaking water views and catered to our every need. The tranquil sounds of the waves and mesmerizing sunrises over the ocean were unforgettable. It was wonderful to spend Christmas here! We loved taking family photos on the stunning beach and unanimously agreed this was one of our best holiday experiences. We are already dreaming of returning to this idyllic beachfront haven. Thank you for an unforgettable Christmas getaway!

Although many rentals may sleep 10, this rental has a beautiful large dining table that seats 10. We were all able to share a meal together and prepare food in the beautiful kitchen or relax in the large living room area that all connected so that nobody was missing out on each other’s company or conversation. The view of the Long Island sound was also wonderful and the accommodations we’re very nice.

Tara and Derek's home on the water is absolutely amazing. The pictures posted don't do it justice. I was here with eight of my girlfriends enjoying a long weekend and it was perfect and super clean. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all roomy enough to fit all of us with room to spare! The kitchen, dining, and living areas were so open to fit nine of us comfortably without ever feeling crowded. The view from that area is absolutely gorgeous. You feel like you're on the water without even being outside. We were lucky enough to have decent weather so we were outside and even though most of the porch furniture was put away, we had enough to enjoy listening to the waves. All in all we would totally go back!

Wonderful house for our out of state family to celebrate my Mother in Law’s 90th birthday. Great kitchen and entertainment space for cooking and gathering. Missed using the outdoor space due to rain but the view made up for it.

The Obstreperous Octopus was an exceptional home to spend our week in Clinton. We had perfect weather, and it made our stay at the beach house so pleasant. The home had everything we could ever imagine to make our stay excellent. The rooms are so spacious, the view is amazing, the amenities were all there to make every day a day of fun and relaxation. I would recommend this as a place to stay, the longer, the better!! We went for walks every day and it is such a lovely neighborhood! All
of my family agreed this was a great week and staying here made it a 10 out of 10!!

What you see is what you get! We had high expectations for our stay and they were completely met. Very family friendly property so that we all had our own space, but could also enjoy the communal spaces. The view was gorgeous!!

Better than I even imagined. Beautiful home. Magnificent views from the decks. Wonderful strolls along the beach. Great neighborhood for daily walks. Indoor and outdoor games supplied. Unbelievably fully stocked kitchen with gadgets, utensils and more. Near great restaurants and multiple grocery stores. Clinton crossing a few miles away for shopping. Agent is wonderful.

12 Sols Point Road in Clinton was the perfect place to kick off our daughter's wedding weekend! The house is spacious for 7 adults and our 2 year old grandson, impeccably clean, well-stocked for entertaining and the views are amazing!! The owner was accommodating and accessible. I highly recommend for anyone visiting the Connecticut shoreline. Thanks to Tara for everything!

The space was better than imagined and the views of the sound were more incredible than what you see in the pictures. Very clean, spacious kitchen and fully stocked to cook like you're at home, comfortable beds, and lots of space for the entire family to spread out and enjoy. This was probably one of the best VRBO locations I've ever stayed at. I highly recommend this property, and will definitely be staying here again when i'm back in town.

Our stay at the Obstreperous Octopus was wonderful! The house was incredibly well done- furnishings, fixtures, amenities, etc. The view was amazing- two sets of sliding glass doors with completely unobstructed views of the water. The house was extremely clean and well maintained. We felt right at home and had a wonderful few days. Close to the Clinton Premium Outlets and some good restaurants- we followed our host’s recommendations and everything was delicious. We’ll definitely be back!

This home was amazing! The layout was perfect, decor was on point and the grounds were beautiful, leaving many different options/locations to relax for all guests. We frequent rentals as a group and this was by far the best all around (space, grounds, furniture, decor, cleanliness). Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Our stay at this amazing property exceeded expectations. Beautiful, well-appointed home with lovely decor and outstanding view. The location was easy to get to, yet felt private and remote. Owner was extremely helpful and responsive to questions. My husband and I wished we could have stayed longer and hope to return.

This rental is a 10/10! The house is beautiful and comes so well appointed both indoors with lots of cooking and serving supplies and also outdoors with a closet full of beach chairs, umbrellas and toys. We had small children and you just can’t beat the easy beach access! The kids loved being able to walk out so far on the soft sand at low tide. The beach was a little rocky/shell covered but the house provides two industrial rakes to groom soft sand.
The beds and pillows were all good quality and the extra den downstairs gave ample space for two families or extra space for kids to play. And there are so many outdoor seating options. Even just morning coffee on the balcony was such a treat.
The owners were also exceptional in answering my questions promptly in advance of the week and you can tell they take great care of their property and are invested in providing a lovely stay for guests. We are hoping to rent again!!

Our family traveled to Clinton, Connecticut for the first time on vacation immediately after the school year ended for our 3 boys. Obstreperous Octopus was a welcoming home in a stunning coastal CT location. Our boys had so much fun exploring the beach, collecting shells, and discovering the marine life of the sound. The modern home provided every imaginable amenity and was perfect for our family. This location is a MUST SEE!

Staying at Tara's Obstreperous Octopus home in Clinton, CT is like staying at a peaceful luxury resort, but with all of the comforts of staying home--an extremely well-cared for home!
This home is made for R&R--super comfortable beds with high-end bedding and cozy spaces both in and out to curl up with a book, listen to the lapping water, take a nap, or simply enjoy family. The kitchen is very well supplied with top-notch appliances. And the decorating is super fun and interesting. I opened my eyes every morning to amazing sunrises over the water--early, yes, but well worth it! (You can draw a darkening shade if early mornings aren't your thing!)
The area is adorable and typical of small town northern East Coast. I recommend a lobster roll tour of the area! We were there for Yale graduation and it is an easy, beautiful drive to New Haven.
Communication with Tara was easy and she went out of her way to fix a wifi issue while we were there. She really cared that we had everything we needed and then some. We highly recommend the Obstreperous Octopus! Wish I were still there...

The place is just as advertised! We spent a long weekend with a bunch of family, including 6 adults and 4 children. The house had plenty of space and was stocked with everything we could ask for to have fun and cook great meals.
It was amazing waking up to the sunrise over the water in the backyard, where you can just open the door and be on the beach. We definitely hope to stay here again in the future.

Beautiful home on the beach
This home is exactly as pictured with a beautiful location right on the beach with lots of great outdoor space for lounging. We had a reunion with 4 friends and the space was great for that, especially as we didn’t really leave the house. The house was also very clean upon arrival.
One should know before booking, however, that both bath and beach towels are not provided. We found that quite surprising at this price point. The Wi-Fi was also quite spotty. You’ll also need to buy extra toilet paper and paper towels if staying for more than a few days, as only one set is provided. And you are expected to strip all the sheets and wash at least one set, in addition to taking out the trash and washing the dishes, before check out. We would recommend allowing yourself an hour before checkout to go through the checklist.

We couldn't have been happier with "Obstreperous Octopus"! It was spacious, well appointed, had a gorgeous view, great walking neighborhood, great themed decor and all around made our weekend thoroughly enjoyable!
My only other comment would be that it would be nice to have a full length mirror somewhere in the house.
