Although our reason for traveling to this area was not for pleasure (funeral), my family and I took comfort staying in a great little home instead of a hotel. We were able to all be together and sit by the fire reflecting on the wonderful family memories we all shared together. The kitchen was just perfect to cook a great breakfast and the town was wonderful to park and just walk through all the great shops and have a fantastic lunch. We also took a walk down to the beach (wish it were summer) and watched the ocean for abit and just relaxed. I will definately be back to this house when the warm weather arrives so we can BBQ on the back deck and go back to the beach. Thank you so much for providing us with a real "HOME AWAY"

The cottage was perfect for our girl's weekend. It was much more spacious than it looked like in the pictures. The deck and the yard were great. We were there in September and it wasn't quite beach weather, but it was a nice walk to the water. Overall we had a great time. Thanks!

Our family of 5 stayed here on a recent September weekend. The property was beautiful - spotlessly clean, restful, nicely furnished and with all necessary linens, towel, kitchen equipment - exactly as described on this site, or, actually, even better.

The cottage is in a small, safe sub-community of mixed year-round and summer housing. There is a small private beach a 5-minute walk from the house, and many restaurants, larger beaches, and recreational activities (boating, bowling, mini-golf, movies) are within a 15-minute drive. Huge outlet malls are about 20 minutes by car. There really isn't much you could want to do that isn't readily available here.

We were tired from a family wedding followed by a hectic week in New York, so we mostly sat on the large back deck, barbecued, and walked to the beach together. A perfect weekend, in a perfect place.

My wife & i were visitng from the UK with our 2 young children. This house was available at short notice as it was right at the start of the season. The house was much larger than we needed/expected. Nice bathroom and adequate kitchen (but we didn't use it much anyway). The air conditioning units are window mounted & as it was early in the season weren't fitted yet. Owner very accomodating when asked to get them installed. Gas BBQ & wifi were an added bonus. Really enjoyed our stay. Would recommend Harveys Beach on Plum Bank Road if you are looking for a little sun!

We spent a quiet and enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday in this cozy cottage. Nicely decorated, clean, everything worked. We spent a lot of time walking to the nearby waterside, playing in the generous-sized yard, and enjoying the games available in the house. Plenty of cookware, plates and utensils for a large family Holiday feast. Clearly the owner cares about the condition of the house and offering a positive experience for her guests.

The cottage is charming as advertised and also very snug with a good and reliable heating system for winter. Quiet street, many unoccupied cottages. Very nice cottage for two people or family of four. While there are beds for more, I think it could get a bit claustrophobic in the winter.
Good TV, DVD and many books.
Upstairs, above the master queen bed are two large, open-able skylights to let in the night breezes and follow the turning of the leaves from the huge trees overhead. The skylight in the breakfast nook was romantic also.
The WiFi internet is broad band and had full bars throughout the cottage, even in the upstairs bedroom - important for us as software developers - this was a working vacation and we able to service our clients.
Yvette was very responsive about broken or missing items and responded within a short time with the needed items. She had done quite a bit of work on the cottage before we arrived and was at it again just after we left.
The location was perfect for us as we were on a seafood and beach walk vacation. The Old Saybrook town beach is less than five minutes away with it's virtually deserted huge tidal sand and mud flats for walking and being soothed by the waves. Less than two minutes away is the best seafood shop we've ever found. Not only fresh seafood at a reasonable price, but wonderful homemade seafood bisques and clam cakes. Across the street from the seafood shop is a wonderful seafood shack (lobster rolls, fried clams, etc.).
We will be back.

This is my 5th time staying at this house. I've been staying here for 3 years. My home away from home. Great location. Very private, nice back yard, deck with grill. Just adorable with splashes of color in artwork everywhere. Great place to stay anytime of year. You can sit by the fire in winter or go to the beach in summer. The house comes with everything you need. Will be staying again in summer. Highly recommend.

This cottage was warm and filled with lots of charming art pieces.

The property was clean and well maintained, the kitchen had been done over within the last few weeks and was done by two artist making it very unique.

The owner owns another home in Guilford that we have stayed in last year and she did everything to make sure that we had things that were needed,such as a stoller for our baby and a high chair.

The fireplace was beautiful an extra bonus The house had a fully equiped kitchen and we were surprised to see that no details were missed.

The house was very clean and we could not find anything except a screen on the back door that needed to be fixed.

We have already booked for next year since the owner offered us a nice discount and is very easy to work with.

The Guest book provided us with everything we needed to be able to know the area and to find all the different attractions.

I would also like to mention that a house so close to the beach area ,I was surprised to feel such a peace place under a huge pine tree surrounded by woods on one side of the house,

The street is very private and a great get away.
