The house was very nice, totally equipped and located in a quiet area with a beautiful backyard view of the marsh and sunsets. A truly peaceful and relaxing place to be. Thanks to the very helpful and thoughtful hosts it was a perfect experience we hope to repeat!

My partner and I found the house to be exactly as described, near the end of a cul-du-sac in a very quiet neighborhood. The back yard looks out directly on the marsh with Long Island Sound visible in the distance. Wildlife was abundant, including some nesting osprey, rabbits and even a deer or two. The first few days of our stay were extremely hot but the steady breeze blowing in from the Sound and over the marsh kept things very comfortable. The house itself is very spacious, so much so that we hardly used the second level. The kitchen looks directly out over the marsh and offers a very pleasant place to have breakfast. The house is only a short drive from the Old Saybrook business district which offers numerous dining and shopping opportunities. Other local attractions like the Florence Griswold Museum and Gillette Castle are within easy reach. We greatly enjoyed our stay and hope to return soon!

The marsh home setting was simply spectacular. Sunrise and sunset were especially wonderful. Even on the icy cold days in February it was a beautiful spot, both inside and out. Close to shops and restaurants (and the train), but surrounded by nature.

Title of house says it all--stunning view, active with birds and wildlife. Saw herons, osprey, a fox and rabbits. The cottage was lovely, well equipped with clear instructions. We felt very much at home. One suggestion: please post instructions for using the kayak cart. Does it need a strap?
