My family of 4 including two toddlers plus our dog had a fantastic stay! The cottage is much bigger than it appears in the listing. The bedroom had plenty of space for a pack ‘n play plus a toddler air mattress. They had every amenity we could need and the house was immaculate. We enjoyed grilling and the fenced in backyard. The beach wagon was awesome! Short 5 minute walk to the beach with a couple other beaches around the corner. We loved walking out to the sandbars during low tide. Everyone in the neighborhood was also very nice. Wonderful stay, thank you! ##### Janelle L. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stevi L. 10 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Weekend Stay What a cute little piece of heaven! My husband and I visited for the weekend for our anniversary and it was such an amazing weekend. BONUS…perfect for our two pups too!! The house is on a quiet street (no barking dogs to stir them up) and they have the perfect fenced in yard so the dogs can run around freely. The house is so close to so many things (downtown is like 4 minutes away). We ate dinner at Liv’s and saw a show at The Kate, both amazing! The beach unfortunately isn’t dog friendly but when it’s low tide you can walk out with the dogs on the sand bars (I would recommend some floaties and water shoes, one point it was pretty deep and the sand is squishy and shelly). We had a great weekend! ##### Stevi L.

We loved the cottage, it was cute, cozy & clean. YouTube video is exactly how it is, if anything we thought it was bigger than pics. We ended up using the sleeper sofa and brought a queen size air mattress which fit perfectly in the bedroom. Neighborhood was nice and quiet. A perfect walking neighborhood. Lots of shopping, restaurants & grocery stores nearby. The only con we had was the beach at the end of the road was very very small and not water you would want to swim in. If just wanna sit at beach it would be fine. We ended up driving to Soundview in Old Lyme everyday which was a very short drive away. Maybe 10-15min. (Which we didn’t mind doing). I definitely would recommend this place for others and will keep this listing for future renting despite the beach at the end of the road. ##### Marie A.

Big fenced yard and water and food bowls were there for use! The dog and cleaning fee were almost more than the stay, so it makes more sense for longer stays (I was only there two). ##### Alison S.

Excellent cottage in a great area of Old Saybrook. We lived in OS for over 30 years and came home to see our family and were not disappointed. It was like being home again. The cottage was warm and welcoming. We will definitely stay there again next time we are in town!! ##### Brian M.

The location was great with a scenic, quiet beach so close. People were very friendly and welcoming. Enjoyed the mini golf by the shore and the carousel in Old Lyme. So many wonderful places to eat nearby. Many wonderful memories were made at this wonderful spot. ##### joan p.

Host was easy to communicate with and was able to accommodate an ask.I always pack a poker strip when I amTraveling and was glad I had it here, one minor suggestion from my partner, descale the Keurig.

This was perfect. Really appreciate being able to take the dog with us. ##### Matt M.

The house was exactly what was described. It was very clean, cozy, and filled with additional amenities that made our stay feel like home. The house was so convenient and in a great beach community with just a short walk to the beach. The fenced in yard was perfect for our dog to enjoy playing ball and running. All in all a great little treasure in a wonderful place. We loved it! ##### Ruth L.

Amazing property and relaxing weekend! 😄 Host was accommodating and responded promptly. Disappointed with accuracy of listing regarding the spa tub and picture/listing of canoe. Planned a canoe day and was unable due to no canoe on property. Dog loved the yard and enjoyed her stay too! ##### Stephanie K.

There was plenty of seating for our family holiday get together and for our 2 dogs and their crates. The yard is pet safe and the neighborhood is great for walking. The YouTube video explains pretty much everything. Also, we were there for some very cold weather so also have to give the heating system 5 stars!! ##### Terri B. Stayed 9 nights in Dec 2022 ---
