Enjoy spectacular sunsets from the deck of our Marsh Side home located in beautiful Old Saybrook, Connecticut or watch the sun rise over the marsh from the front door. Our quiet family-oriented neighborhood is perfect for a relaxing getaway with loved ones, and two public beaches are a short bike ride away. There is ample space with 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and an office suitable for when work calls. Our den is the perfect hang out area after a day of exploring. Come and enjoy!

The house was very nice, totally equipped and located in a quiet area with a beautiful backyard view of the marsh and sunsets. A truly peaceful and relaxing place to be. Thanks to the very helpful and thoughtful hosts it was a perfect experience we hope to repeat!
The marsh home setting was simply spectacular. Sunrise and sunset were especially wonderful. Even on the icy cold days in February it was a beautiful spot, both inside and out. Close to shops and restaurants (and the train), but surrounded by nature.
We had the best time visiting our Old Saybrook family and staying in this home! It was so clean, and the owners thought if everything from beach towels to extra toothpaste. The location was perfect and we enjoyed our morning coffee each day watching the marshâs wildlife. Would highly recommend this location and already want to return!
We had a wonderful, peaceful stay on the salt marsh in Old Saybrook. The house was thecleanest, most well appointed VRBO we've ever staying in. Our host was friendly and attentive. Loved watching the nesting ospreys and other shore birds from the deck. We had a wonderful week there!
We had a fantastic stay! Gillian and Matt are wonderful hosts. We had to find a place to stay while our floors were getting redone and wanted to stay in the area. This was the perfect option with a great deck and yard. Our grandson loved looking for crabs in the marsh at the end of the circle. I would definitely recommend this house.
We didnât need anything. The house was fully equipped.
Kids and adults were entertained by kayaks, bikes, ping pong.foos ball and any game you could think of.
House is on a cul de sac so kids rode their bikes safely.
Beach was a short distance away.
Nice privacy.
Title of house says it all--stunning view, active with birds and wildlife. Saw herons, osprey, a fox and rabbits. The cottage was lovely, well equipped with clear instructions. We felt very much at home.
One suggestion: please post instructions for using the kayak cart. Does it need a strap?
Gillian is very communicative via this app and text/phone and strives (& succeeds) to have you very happy with her wonderful property. The house is a birderâs paradise and very relaxing and a great location to see all the shoreline has to offer. Felt very comfortable in the house as it was very clean and had a slew of amenities. I am pretty particular and the place exceeded my expectations. Ping pong table & foosball table were icing on the cake. Thank you for making our vacation so relaxing and enjoyable.
From kayaking, biking, and a bit of ping pong, to lazing around reading and watching the osprey from the yard, Marsh View was the perfect vacation home for our family of five. We really enjoyed walking to town through the peaceful neighborhood with children out playing on their lawns or at the nearby park. The house itself was immaculate, well-stocked, and truly comfortable. Finally, our hosts really went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Needless to say, we had a wonderful week in Old Saybrook.
My partner and I found the house to be exactly as described, near the end of a cul-du-sac in a very quiet neighborhood. The back yard looks out directly on the marsh with Long Island Sound visible in the distance. Wildlife was abundant, including some nesting osprey, rabbits and even a deer or two. The first few days of our stay were extremely hot but the steady breeze blowing in from the Sound and over the marsh kept things very comfortable. The house itself is very spacious, so much so that we hardly used the second level. The kitchen looks directly out over the marsh and offers a very pleasant place to have breakfast. The house is only a short drive from the Old Saybrook business district which offers numerous dining and shopping opportunities. Other local attractions like the Florence Griswold Museum and Gillette Castle are within easy reach. We greatly enjoyed our stay and hope to return soon!
Gill and Matt were a pleasure to work with and so kind. Gill contacted me Saturday morning to let me know we could arrive earlier than planned and left us a delicious welcome basket. We found the house perfect for our needs and fell in love with the marsh, osprey, sunsets, beautiful deck, and the three showers!!! We took advantage of the kayaks and bikes provided and the nearby splashpad daily. The neighborhood is in a great location and I found is to be very quiet and the neighbors friendly. Everything about the house and area was perfect! We spent a wonderful week in Old Saybrook. Thanks Gill and Matt for sharing your beautiful home with us!
My husband and I had another lovely stay at this Marshview home. The house is very clean and well appointed. The backyard looks out on a beautiful sal marsh teaming with bird activity. We love watching the nesting ospreys raise their fledglings. They are talented at fishing!
The neighborhood is quiet and peacful. We hope to return again nexy year!
Gillian and Matt are friendly and attentive. They certainly know how to host! I highly recommend this property!
