Super Cute Cottage in a Quiet Location
This cottage is so adorable and just a short walk to the beach and a local convenience store. This makes it easy to park the car and just walk to get coffee and such. We stayed in October so not much open this time of year, but we were in the area for a family wedding so not much time to hang out anyway. This was the first time I've rented on Vrbo, so I wasn't sure what to expect as have read a lot about obnoxious owners with tons of rules, but Brett is super-chill with only a couple of things asked that are doable and appropriate. It for sure is a seasonal issue, but I have to say that the oak tree that hangs over the house dropping acorns on the roof at night got to be a lot the first night we were there as the noise woke us up a few times. The acorn adventure ended up becoming a joke at the wedding. Fortunately, the tree seemed to settle somewhat so not as bad on the second and third nights. This is really quiet neighborhood, which I'm sure is lively in the summer, and offers a great retreat in any season. I'm so glad I took the risk and rented this cottage. I highly recommend.

Superb!
The cottage was absolutely adorable. Very clean and new, inside and out. It had every amenity, just like home. You can see the beach/ocean at the end of the street. And any questions we had, the host replied right away. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! 5 stars!

Great cottage in a great location
We had a fun few days in this little cottage. Appreciated having two bathrooms and the mini mart next door was perfect (not noisy or bothersome at all). Fun walk to the beach. We only wished the beds had box springs for support. Overall a great time.

Summer at the beach
It was just what my husband and I needed, we had a great time! The cottage was clean and had everything we needed for our stay! The location was perfect, a nice easy walk to the beach and also close to Mystic, Niantic and Old Saybrook for restaurants, shopping and sightseeing.

Wonderful and relaxing.
The tiny cottage was perfect. The second half bath was very handy. We had more than enough room and my daughter loved sleeping on the futon in the enclosed "porch". I cooked and had everything I needed pots, pans, and blender. We brought extra TP and paper towels, but did not need them. Do bring napkins, tissues, extra bottled water, and your vaca state of mind. The beach is a nice walk down the block, the neighborhood was quiet and dog friendly. The beach chairs were wonderful and though the beach is small, there was always plenty of room for all. Highly recommend this property. The only problem, was we did not want to leave.

Nice place !
My daughter and I live in CT but needed a place to stay for a few days, while we had some work done at our house. We decided to pick a place close to Mystic so we can plan a day trip. We found this cute cottage house in Old Lyme which is walking distance to the beach. The place was very clean and comfortable. Besides Mystic Aquarium and the shops, we visited the outlets for more shopping in Clinton CT. If you enjoy hiking there are plenty of trails and Ferry Landing state park if you enjoy fishing. We would of gone to Mohegan Sun for the day but we had our small Min Pin with us. The owner Brett is very friendly and responds to text messages very quickly. I am definitely interested in going back again !
