September at Carmela Cottage

mpm323 Farmington, CT
Review Submitted: September 20, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
We just spent the week of September 13-20 at this cottage, and we had a great time. The house is within walking distance of the beach - not too far, not too close. It is as described, you will have the true cottage experience here. The house had plenty of room not to get on top of each other. Rustic, yet charming and nice way to spend a week at the beach.

Beautiful yard, cottage very spacious

Liz, garden admirer Tariffville, CT
Review Submitted: August 5, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
Our stay was wonderful. The cottage was spacious and comfortable., with all the comforts of home. The yard was well maintained and had many beautiful flowers. It was a great place for relaxing, quiet moments and watching the birds. The owner was very helpful and courtious.

During our stay we enjoyed dinner at the Naitic Diner, and pizza from, Pizza Plus. Both were very good.

We would definitely recommend this cottage to a friend of family member.

Private and clean

Review Submitted: July 16, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
This property is well maintained and clean with a home-like feel but with the privacy of a getaway. The closeness to the beach was a huge plus as is closeness to major roads to and from cottage. Will look at staying here again!
Zoe,Mya,Kiara and Michelle all enjoyed ! Thank You
