The house is set back from the road with a good size driveway. The inside is newly renovated and we are working to finish the yard area for the summer! The house has WiFi, large yard, and a great front porch that gets a ton of sun. We’ve made great memories there over the years and are now looking to share it with others! The space The house is quaint with lots of sunlight- a mix of old and new! Other things to note Beach Access: If you plan on driving to the beach you can either pay a daily fee or if you are staying for at least 1 week you can purchase a beach pass to access Harvey’s beach! Renters staying at least 1 week can purchase a 2 week beach pass starting April 15th, 2021. I will send instructions directly to renters once you have confirmed your stay! If you walk or bike to the beach it is free. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Hob - Microwave - Oven ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Marina](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/39000000/38650000/38648700/38648648/c3c21371.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### SeaStar Beach House CLOSE WALK TO OCEAN Private Beach Access Old Saybrook - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 12 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-18&endDate=2025-10-19&selected=38648648&PinnedHotelID=38648648&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby, sun-loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33560000/33559600/33559588/c0b41082.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Summer Cottage with Water Views at Great Hammock Beach in Old Saybrook Old Saybrook - Kitchen - Air conditioning - Laundry - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 64 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-18&endDate=2025-10-19&selected=33559588&PinnedHotelID=33559588&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby, sun-loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102190000/102189500/102189499/66e641ad.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Great Hammcock Getaway, cozy home, hot tub, fire pit, beaches nearby.
