This is a great family beach house just a short 5 min walk to a beautiful beach (That was never crowded -although we went on weekdays only). The hosts were incredibly responsive and wrote back immediately to our needs. We happened to be there during one of Connecticut's worst power outages and they brought us flowers and fresh watermelon. We also met the friendly neighbor Jerry who brought us ice cream several times. The house is a short walk to a snack bar, wonderful ice cream shop and Italian ice stand. The owner also told us about a nearby lake/swimming hole that was great for our son (very calm and warm). The house itself is great for families with toys and games included. The only major drawback was lack of AC. We went in mid August and it was VERY hot. The house is well stocked with fans, but even they couldn't ease the heat. Earlier summer months I'm sure are much more comfortable, I also think they mentioned they might put in AC next year (but just something to keep in mind if your planning to go in August). Overall we had a great stay, it's a great price for a great location!

We had a marvelous vacation at this charming, relaxed beach house. The neighborhood is full of small cottages, and this house is (just as described) a perfect combination of new construction and old charm. It's simple and comfortable, perfect for a family with small children. The beach is also great for kids as it has lots of shallow area with gentle waves that feel comfortable for those just learning to swim. This is clearly a beloved family home, full of books and puzzles guests can enjoy. We definitely hope to return.

Great layout, amenities, location!

A real Connecticut shore summer beach experience (heat and humidity included! :-) in a well-stocked, clean home. Owners have thought of just about everything to make one's stay comfortable and well-informed. Only thing that might be added is ceiling fans in the downstairs bedrooms.

Our extended family rented this house last June. From the baby to grandparents, with cousins and aunts and uncles in between, we had a memorable time. The house has a nice flow and there are several different "spaces" for congregating and doing different things. Our older children ran around in the yard and had fun with water games or played games in the roomy "lower" living room. The adults tended to congregate in the "upper" living room, furnished with comfortable sofas and adjacent to the kitchen, making food preparation and cooking a shared community activity. There were two separate inside areas for eating and also a great covered patio outside with table and chairs. Everything in the kitchen and throughout the house was modern and neat and clean including bathrooms and bedrooms, which were all airy, with comfortable beds. Walking to the beach was easy for all. It felt like being in one's home rather than a rental property.
