About this cottage rental

Located in Guilford, this charming cottage for $425 per night is a great option for your next break. Remember 'doing the dishes' with family members and friends? Do you love an outdoor shower? Visit this charming 1930's summer cottage with direct water access, large screened porch with wonderful 180 degree views of Long Island Sound. Sleep in the old iron beds with new mattresses and soft cotton sheets. Little White Top is unpretentious and comfortable, designed to allow for carefree and peaceful holidays. The long and airy screened porch overlooking the water is the hub of the home, where everyone wants to gather to read and converse, sharing breakfast, lunch, or cocktails. The cottage comfortably sleeps 6 people, with 2 bedrooms on the first floor with queen beds, and 3 bedrooms on the second floor, two with queen bed, the other with a double bed. There is ample parking on the property for three cars. Moor your own boat in the waters off the shore. Easy launching of kayaks and canoes can be done directly from the property and from the beach just down and around the corner. Kids can choose to paddle around the protected waters off Tuttles Point or go out to the various rock islands and explore the tide pools there. More adventurous adults can embark on longer paddles to Faulkner's Island Island Light or to Sachem's Head or the Thimble Islands. Enjoy picnics on the front lawn, with ample space for children to play. Sun yourselves and take a dip at the water's edge or take the little ones 600 feet down the hill to the sandy Association Beach. The protected waters off Tuttles Point offer swimming, fishing, and kayaking and their protected nature is especially good for children. At all tides, ospreys, herons, gulls, and other shorebirds seek out these waters and the rich marshlands nearby. Tuttles Point is a quiet, low-key residential neighborhood in a private association with its own beach, in the historic town of Guilford. Guilford Town Center offers interesting shopping and fine dining, Shakespeare on the Green in August, as well as craft and antique shows. A Pick-Your-Own farm/orchard is an 8 minute drive from the Cottage. Collect some berries and bake a pie in the simple but well appointed kitchen! Biking and hiking trails are easily accessible, as well as the local Whitfield House Museum. The Peabody Natural History Museum and the British Art Museum at Yale University are a 1/2 hour drive to be enjoyed along with Frank Pepe's Pizza in New Haven, considered to be the very best!

This cottage was a winner! Luckily we had good weather on our side. Lots of fans and light. Felt like going back in time to a slower pace. So peaceful. Loved the sunsets/rises from the porch! Beach access was terrific.

A wonderful, original old home right on the water. We all really enjoyed the great screened porch and location. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and we all loved the colorful fiesta dishes! Unfortunately the week we visited was pretty hot so it got quite warm in the upstairs but the fans cooled it off somewhat at night. In addition to the beach down the road we spent a lot of time in the yard and swimming off the rocks. We had a nice relaxing week!

We had a wonderful stay! The kitchen was well outfitted and the beach was perfect for our little grandson. Great kayaking, biking, hiking and of course, eating! Backyard and porch were awesome.

We had such a relaxing time sitting on the porch watching the water and taking an occasional paddle around the sound. Nearby Jacob's Beach was fun with the kids and Red Barn and the Place. Great place to unwind and slow down.
