Although 'gem' really doesn't even do it justice! I have rented cottages and beach houses all over Connecticut and the northeast for years and I have finally found a little peace of heaven (or the Caribbean) right here in Connecticut! If you are looking for a beautiful, well-maintained home, right on the water, with amazing views, privacy, a private beach, then look no further. Plus the location can't be beat- you are not far from Old Saybrook, Mystic, Providence, Roger Williams Park & Zoo, two casinos, not to mention some great restaurants-like Abbott's in the Rough and Costello's Clam Shack. Just perfect-almost don't want to let anyone else know about it! Make sure to bring your binoculars for views of Long Island, Plum Island, ferries, light houses and the bird sanctuary.
