Great place and a great stay! We went for Christmas in Connecticut and had a wonderful time. The communication was great from the start and they are nice people. The place was wonderful with a great atmosphere and ambience. I can definitely see how this would be a great place in the summer, but also it was great in the winter. Very well decorated and furnished. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.
My family and I had a great stay at this adorable beach house! It had plenty of room for our family of 6. The private beach was just a short walk around the corner!
Adorable beach cottage, great for a mother and adult daughter weekend. Location was perfect, beach just around the corner. Great halfway between NY and RI. Looking forward to booking again next Fall.
The property was just as it was portrayed on line. A short walk to the private beach. We enjoyed many of the attractions in the surrounding areas as well.
Property is lovely. Short walk to beach. Easily accessible and close to restaurants, stores and shopping. House is clean and well organized. Hosts are very nice and helpful. It was a little difficult contacting the host through VRBO.
Mel and her husband were awesome! Perfect beach home and location was perfect. House was immaculate! I will stay there again. I only needed to use the first floor and did not have to use the stairs. Very close to the beach. Thank you, Mel!
We really enjoyed our stay. Beds, linens, towels all super comfortable. Kitchen bright and useful. Bathrooms spotless. 2 minute walk to cute beach. Tons of stuff to do in the area. Great, private backyard well appointed with portable fire pit, grill, furniture. Lots of kid games and books and puzzles in house. Need functional carbon monoxide detector.
We enjoyed or stay very much! It was quiet and the easy walk to the water was great. Not much in the way of a beach but still the view is lovely. The Master Bed needs updating. Husband and I sank into the middle squishing together. The living room slipcovers could use a wash and some bleach. The backyard is a great value added but the railing on the porch needs repair.
This home had all the basics and was thoughtfully furnished. Our daughters enjoyed building with the provided legos and doing puzzles during our downtime. You can easily walk to the beach or to many places in town.
The location is a bit tricky to find though and there is only room to park two normal
Sized vehicles.This wasnโt a problem for us, but just beware if you have multiple people coming.
We had a great week here. Owner was communicative and kind. House is adorable--my favorite spot was the corner shelves-lots of playthings for the 3yr and 20 month old babies and many, many reading choices for me. Fully stocked kitchen-something I am greatly appreciative of; while we didn't use it, the attic bedroom getaway would be really cool for older children; a short and very pleasant walk to the very kid-friendly beach, and neighbors and locals who were kind, friendly and helpful. Perfect weather did not hurt the experience either. Try it out-you won't be disappointed.
Great location, cozy cottage, friendly neighbors, and stunning beaches. There are plenty of places to visit, restaurants to try, and beautiful sunrises and sunsets to enjoy!
The host was very welcoming and communicative. We had a hot water issue over the Thanksgiving holiday and they did all they could to help the situation despite the fact they were unable to get it repaired during our stay. The house is cuteโa typical beach cottage full of perfectly mis-matched whimsical decor. Perfectly located near the beach for summer visits.
