About this cottage rental

Located in Guilford, this charming cottage for $365 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation.

This special spot provides a little bit of Maine-like coast close to New York complete with craggy shore, tide pools, protected private sandy beach (perfect for children) and cove. This winterized cottage sits on a bluff overlooking one of the most picturesque views in CT - from the sun room, gaze at Faulker's Island Lighthouse amid the expanse of blue sea and sky. Come - swim at the beach just steps down the road, fish from the rock jetty, walk along the shoreline roads and nearby trails. The area is a kayaker's paradise - paddle around the rocky and sandy shoreline, marshes, and more than 30 islands off Stony Creek which is just 5 mins away by car. Our historic town offers the best of New England charm and amenities. Cottage: This is a bright and clean cozy cottage.

The house was beautifully arranged and kept, tasteful and comfortable. The enclosed front porch looking out on the water was a great asset. The neighborhood was comfortably walkable and there were hiking trails nearby as well as a charming village and restaurants with easy food. Our hostess was gracious and available for questions, even ahead of our arrival.

This Mulberry Point cottage was a slice of wonder with its incredible water views, coziness and location. You can watch the sunrise and sunset from the front glass porch. The photos do not do it justice! Monica was a wonderful host and everything was well thought out and impeccable. We hope to be back at this seaside cottage again!

This is a perfect vacation home and immaculately "eat off the floor" clean, with comfy beds, a lovely renovated bathroom with really nice shampoo and soaps, a fully stocked kitchen including coffee, tea, spices,.oil and vinegars,, and just about every imaginable tool: Salad spinner, pots & pans, serving platters, barware, small appliances, good knives, meat thermometer for grilling, lobster crackers, the list goes on. Charming living room/dining area. We barely used the AC units as the sea breezes were delightful. Finally, the views. Whatever plans you have for the area, just realize you will only accomplish half of them because there is just not enough time to sit on the patio and stare at the water with a coffee or cocktail in hand. Monica and Bill are accommodating and gracious and immediately answered any questions we had. Didn't want to leave and we hope to return soon.
