Description of the New London vacation house rental

This 1836 Cape was moved board by board to this site in 1979. The house was fully restored with real plaster walls, handmade lighting and hardware. There are three fireplaces, a bake oven and a six flue chimney. Since this initial restoration, three timber frame additions have been added. The house is now 2600 square feet. Of the four bedrooms, three of the bedrooms face the water. There are two master bedrooms, one on each floor. The upper master has a 14 ft. curved wooden ceiling with french doors which open to the ocean. The first floor master has its own bath and is ideal for someone elderly. The stone patio has shells grouted into the cement and is bordered on the ocean side by a restored stone hurricane wall. This house shares a pristine beach with an 1801 ninety foot lighthouse on one side and this house on the other. The lighthouse is not open to the public and the beach is used by my 82 year old neighbor and myself.

Further details for this vacation house rental in New London, Connecticut

The view from the house includes six lighthouses and Fishers Island with a continual stream of scenic ferries and boats of all kinds. The house is very special and the located 55 feet off Long Island Sound with very private beach. The original portion (circa 1836) of the house was moved to this location in 1979 and fully restored. The three additions are timber frame construction, reinforced for hurricanes. The patio and the accompanying view are second to none. Timing is everything: May through September are the months to rent. Personally, I think September is the best month; everyone is back in school and the water is delightful.

This house is not a 'summer beach' house; it is my home and I do not want it mistreated. Smoking, the use of the three fireplaces and candles are not allowed. Small parties (under 15) are allowed. I once had my house 'trashed' by an inconsiderate tenant who had a very large, out of control party.

The people who have rented this property have always had a wonderful experience. It is like being in Bermuda with the clean water, sandy beach and spectacular views.

Other Activities: Mystic Seaport, Eugene O'Neil Theater, numerous museums and destinations
