Our family had a wonderful time on the beach at this beautiful home and location. Kathy the owner was great to work with and the home had everything you could need to enjoy your time on the beach!! Local towns also great for dining and fun.

Six adult members of our extended family had a lovely, relaxing week at this comfortable and inviting rental. Although there are many things to do in the area, we mostly just hung out by the water, watched the birds, and enjoyed the amazing views of the sky. We did get in a few rounds of mini-golf in Old Saybrook! The house was sparkling clean when we got there and we took advantage of the many great restaurants in the area, which made our stay doubly relaxing. Hoping to come back again soon!

Beautifully and lovingly curated beach home was perfect for our multi-generational vacation and even more amazing in real life compared to the pics online. Most of our time was spent on the front patio enjoying our meals overlooking the wide open oceanfront views of Long Island Sound. At low tide, the water was knee deep for yards out and several sandbars which allowed for kids and grandparents to walk to Duck Island on soft sand (great workout walking in the water), do some bird watching and everyone felt safe kayaking. Bring floats and water toys and relax. The sandy section of the beach is narrow so at high tide, so walking on the beach can be limited until tides recede. The beach itself has lots of shells and a few rocks but within 5' of skipping over the shoreline, it is soft sands so really great fun with smaller kids. Spotted at different times along the shoreline: oysters, crabs, snails, scallop seashells, clams, white herons, other beautiful shore birds. Our family of 12 ranged from 7yrs old to 75 yrs. The home was equipped with everything you need including two refrigerators and a wet sink that doubled as a bar for our group, and an outdoor fenced-in shower. The front patio is shared with a few other neighboring homes but all persons we met were nice and friendly. Several grocery stores within 2 miles, and convenience store only a few blocks away for quick items. The neighborhood is quaint and quiet with well-cared for homes, but we didn't explore much as we really just parked ourselves beachside.
