Narrows Island sunrise - Guilford, Connecticut Vacation Home Rental This new Nantucket shingle style waterfront home is located on Narrows Island in Long Island Sound. The island is part of the archipelago known as the Thimble Islands. It is the only island of the Thimbles with a bridge, making it accessible by car as well as by boat. The property provides water views in every direction. The home is one of only two residences on this four acre island. Wake to a spectacular sunrise. Dine on the front deck and watch the boats sailing by. Lounge in the granite cabana while enjoying the breathtaking views of the Thimbles. Sun, swim, fish or kayak from either of the two private beaches just foot steps away. At the end of the day, take in unsurpassed sunsets while soaking in the new 7 person hot tub. There is also direct water access from the private floating dock and use of a mooring in the secluded cove. The air-conditioned home offers beautiful hardwood floors and stone tiles. It is furnished with nautical taste and casual elegance. There are three spacious bedrooms; two with additional sleeping lofts. The main bath has a shower and a whirlpool tub. The great room has a two-story high ceiling with plenty of room for conversation, TV, music or games and puzzles. If you can pull yourself away from this island retreat for a time, you may want to cruise the Thimble Islands on a tour boat or venture into town to the historic Guilford Green. The green is lined with wonderful boutique shopping, jewelry stores, spa, gourmet coffee, ice-cream and chocolate shop, galleries, restaurants, library, and beautiful antique homes. If you desire a longer jaunt, then try a short drive to shop the designer outlets of Clinton, tour the Yale Campus in New Haven, play golf at a local course, hike the grounds of the Gillette Castle or visit Mystic Seaport. In the evening you may cruise the Connecticut River from Essex or try your luck at Foxwoods Casino or Mohegan Sun. Situated in the geographical center of the Northeast, Guilford is just a short ride from New York, Boston, Hartford and Providence, using either I-95 or the Shore Line Train. The island is less than five miles from the train station and conveniently located for travel to major airports: New York - 1 ½ hour, Hartford - 1 hour, Providence - 1 hour, Boston - 2 hour and New Haven - 15 minutes.
