Photos and Description of the Guilford vacation cottage rental
2 bedrooms (queen bed, two twins) sleeps 4, 1 full bath plus outdoor shower

Indian Cove cottage on private road with two sandy beaches, boat dock and swimming raft. Kayak, swim, sail, fish, clam, bike, hike. Friendly community where families have come for generations. Great place to let kids roam on bikes (15 mph speed limit.)

Big-sky view of the Long Island Sound. Watch from the deck as the osprey soar overhead and dive for fish. Walk on the beach in the moonlight with the lighthouse from Faulkner's Island twinkling in the distance.

Large new deck with gas bbq, retractable awning and pots of flowers. Bamboo floors throughout, new tempurpedic mattresses, newly remodeled bedrooms and bathroom. WI-Fi, cable TV, 2 bikes and kayaks (two sea kayaks and one small kayak that can be launched from the beach). There are fresh herbs and tomatoes (later in the season) available for your use. Large picnic table on the deck seats 8.

We have tried to equip the house with all the things we'd like to have in a vacation house: Le Creusset pots, sharp knives, a Cuisinart, plenty of good quality dishes, nice table linen, 2 Brown Jordon chaise lounges, new Tempurpedic mattresses, comfortable linens and pillows.

Perfect Destination

This house is beautiful and a perfect destination for a relaxing holiday. Everything is of a very good quality and it was immaculate for our arrival. The decking and views from the decking are idyllic and after a day out and about it was perfect to sit out with a glass of wine and cook on the great bar-b-que. Judy is excellent to deal with and nothing is too much trouble. If we return to Connecticut I will derfinitely stay at this house again and will recommend it to all our friends. Fantastic holiday.

Cozy, comfortable cottage

We have rented this cottage for three years. It's such an idyllic getaway that we can't help ourselves! It is nicely decorated, comfortable, homey, clean, and well equipped. We love having the kayaks available for interesting rides along the shore and exploring. It's a great neighborhood for walking and the sunsets and views of the sound from the oversize deck (with a great awning) are spectacular.

A little bit of heaven

The location and water views were perfect. All of the home appointments were above average, and complete with any potential need anticipated.
The town and surrounding communities were charming and the people welcoming.
The prize however, were the fantastic views, and we look forward to returning.

"Recently rented this wonderful beach cottage for one week. Great water views, spacious open floor plan in living area with lots of windows/skylights ... comfortable, tastefully decorated. Short walk to two beaches. Lots to see and do in Guilford and surrounding areas. Plan to return next year for a longer stay. Had been going to Maine for many years and was looking for a rental that was closer to home, yet felt like Maine ... this definitely had that feeling. Highly recommend."

Perfect getaway

Whether you are there to finish writing that book, spend the last weekend alone before the arrival of your first child, or are just looking for a cozy place to curl up in front of a fire with a good book from the extensive library -- this is the place for you. We were there for all of the above and loved it.

The place has a lovely master bedroom and superbly appointed living room, a well stocked kitchen (and library), a wrap-around porch and open views of the water.

A car is advisable if you want to get around town quickly, but we made it there without one -- without problem. It makes for an even more relaxing experience. The house is a quick 15 min/$15 cab ride (or a leisurely hour's walk) from Guilford train station/downtown. A public beach is a quick 3 min walk up the street. Downtown Guilford has a couple good coffee stores and a handful of shops and restaurants (which also deliver).

The owners are always on call, and the neighbors are just far enough to make for a secluded experience -- and close enough to hand-deliver additional firewood should you run out.

Highly recommended!

Owner's Response: We love the ice and bright light of winter. But for summer visitors: in addition to the public beach where you can launch the kayaks we provide, there is an idyllic private association beach, as well as a private dock, just steps away.
