About Deborah Schwartz
Our family has owned this house for a very long time, and we have had joyous years of using the house for summer fun, Christmas time parties, lounging on the porch, watching fireworks on the fourth of July, fishing off the pier, and great nights of cooking for large groups of friends and family. Some of us live in NYC, others in Washington, and others in Connecticut. This is our favorite vacation place.
Deborah Schwartz purchased this House in 1927
Why Deborah Schwartz chose Woodmont
This is a magical house, with warm rich wood and stone details, on the beach, with lots of lovely rooms for rest and privacy, and spacious communal spaces for parties, family reunions, or work retreats.
What makes this House unique
Great location on the beach, perfect for large gatherings, but the house has so much space, and so many remote niches that it is also easy to find a quiet place to curl up and read a book. Private space and party space all wrapped into one incredibly beautiful house!

The property is beautiful and well-maintained. Perfect for a family reunion!
It is truly our “home-away-from home”. So inviting
Home filled with character and warmth!
Lovely house by the ocean was perfect for a recent family celebration! Plenty of room for everyone with a view from every window.
Fabulous!!
A beautiful and warm home - full of character, cozy places to hang out, wonderful views and lots of room. And location right on the beach can’t be beat! Highly recommended!
Beautiful location and comfortable stay
We had a great stay at the arts and crafts house! Plenty of comfortable seating and sleeping areas, with an updated kitchen and beautiful location! In the winter, it was a bit drafty in the living room area, but the fireplace worked great and the rest of the house heated well. We hope to stay there again :)
Great place to stay!
My friends and I really enjoyed the property. Great location, lots of space and close to many businesses. Great water view from all windows at the front of the home.
Beautiful house with a magnificent view
This beachfront house was the perfect reunion gathering site. The house is stunning and has wonderful character. The kitchen was well equipped and provided a cozy corner for breakfast. The beach and view were beautiful. And the owner was responsive and helpful. Nine friends all assembled here as we were attending a memorial gathering for another dear college friend. It was the perfect retreat and each couple or individual had a comfortable room, while enjoying several different shared gathering spaces. It is the PERFECT place for Yale grads if they want a mini-reunion near Yale.
Many thanks for this lovely review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. We hope you will consider returning in the future! Best wishes, Debbie
