The house was great - really convenient to the beach, the house has great accommodations. We had 6 people and we were comfortable there. We were able to bring food and keep it in the fridge. And the street was nice and quiet. It was probably a 5 minute walk to a nice, quiet beach. We had a great time!
Several of us were traveling to a family wedding in the area. The house was the perfect size, comfortable, and reasonably priced. Thank you Tom for sharing your home.
Great location close to beach, charming neighborhood
A nice small beach house. Clean and very close to beachâ definitely not fancy but kitchen stocked and 3 comfortable bedrooms. One small drawbackâ just one bathroom which can be a drawback with four adults, but overall an excellent experience.
This property was in a perfect location for us. We flew in from KY for a beach wedding, not knowing anything about the area. This was perfect for us. There were originally 4 adults but another couple joined us the final night and there was plenty of room! 3 Bedrooms and a very short walk to the beach! We were able to walk to the wedding and reception as well as plenty of breakfast and lunch options we could walk to. The owner was very quick to respond to any and all questions we had.
I found this rental when planning a somewhat last minute summer vacation. The family requests were a beach and seafood. This location met all of our needs and more.
Communication with the host was simple and prompt. He answered all of our questions as well as gave suggestions for things to do and places to eat nearby.
The home was just as described, a home in a beach community. The amenities were more than sufficient with a well stocked kitchen, AC, comfortable beds, front porch, outdoor shower, grill, convenient parking and very friendly neighbors.
There were two beach options just a block away, many restaurants were within easy driving distance, plus within about 30 minutes of driving we were able to get to several âtouristâ destinations that we enjoyed.
I would definitely stay at this rental again if I was traveling in the area with my family.
Location is perfect for a quick weekend getaway for our filimy of 6 ages from 16 to 68. Close to Mystic Seaport Museum and the Aquarium, we also when to Hammonasset Beach Park, have a great time. One recommendation is to upgrade the upstairs TV and please provide towels.
This beach house was the perfect size for our group: a family with 2 kids, plus two couples. The family was upstairs in the suite area and the couples each had double beds downstairs. The kitchen had the equipment to bake + serve a quiche. A great spot for families who want to go to the beach and on pretty walks. A rare hurricane evacuation shortened our stay but Tom was very kind to adjust the reservation for us and checking in to make sure we were ok.
Great little property Iâd recommend to friends! Only a short walk to the private or public beach snd only a short drive to the center of town. Weâll definitely go again!!
Short walk to the beach, and ice cold AC. A quaint cottage that feels bigger on the inside. Kitchen was well stocked and place was nice and clean when we arrived. Not great for little kids but great location. I especially like the loft bedroom with extra seating area to get some space when needed. Not much freezer room (two mini-friges) so don't bring a bunch of ice cream like we did! Living room couch was a bit worn out and could be replaced.
We stayed 5 nights while visiting our family in Old Saybrook. We found the house clean, comfortable and nicely airconditioned. Though we did not cook while there, we noted the kitchen was well stocked. Take note that the bathroom is rather small and you will need to bring your own towels. We recommend you bring some cash to try the smoked meats from the food purveyor at the beach. Overall the property served our needs well.
We really enjoyed our time in Westbrook. This property was exactly what we wanted. Quiet neighborhood ⊠5 min walk max from the beach and easy to get to food and drink options. I really appreciated how attentive Tom was. He responded quickly and worked with us to make sure everything was handled timely. Would love to come back!
The house was clean and cozy, and we appreciated small things like the free weights and scrabble which we ended up using and enjoying. The outdoor shower was also very convenient. Tom was kind enough to let us check-in early. This is a very quiet and nice, family-friendly beach neighborhood and I would definitely come back and would be happy to stay at Tom's cottage again. A few things to note: You will need to bring your own towels. The beds aren't the most comfy (they have some plastic covering underneath that feels awkward), but they were good enough for our short stay. Also note that the top floor is a large attic/loft space--two flights of stairs lead up to it but there is no door, so privacy could be an issue, depending on the guests (but the first floor bedrooms do have doors). All in all, a great stay. Thank you!
