When you are visiting in Old Saybrook you will want to spend some time at the Town Beach.

When you visit this beach you will find a concession stand so that you can get a bite to eat or an ice cream cone. You will also be glad that it is a guarded beach, so you will have lifeguards to ensure your safety when you are swimming.

  • This is a wonderful old home with loads of charm, yet modern amenities (a/c units in each BR and living room, updated bathrooms, etc.). We just completed a 4 night stay and were sad to have to leave. The entire setting added so much to our coastal CT experience. Thanks!

  • Our Family had a wonderful time at your holiday home. The antique house is fully modernized yet has it original antique features and well equipped and most accommodating. The local beach is pristine and perfect, we enjoyed live music at night at a local cafe and we dined upon scrumptous fresh seafood on the panoramic Saybrook waterfront -while watching the sunset! We enjoyed strolling downtown Saybrook taking in live music, antiques, cafes...too much fun here- Decidedly the perfect vacation spot. Thank You for sharing your special house with us.

  • I had the pleasure of staying in this magnificent historic property in early June. From the moment I arrived I was blown away by the details that have gone into this home! Since it was only me and my boyfriend we had our pick of rooms like goldie locks and the three bears. We choose a downstairs room that was cozy and tranquil. The home was filled with thoughtful and original art and charm. The grounds of the home were expansive with several places to sit under a tree and read and relax. The nearby attractions were easy to get to and included fabulous restaurants and shopping. I would recommend this property to anybody who appreciates historic charm. My favorite spot was the greenhouse which I later found out won 1st prize on HGTV. I enjoyed sipping a glass of wine by candlelight each night. Hope your stay is as good as ours was :)

  • I recently stayed here and have to say that my visit was absolutely wonderful. The manager, Vickie, was very charming and a pleasure to deal with. She placed me in what I thought was the best room in the place. She also gave me a "heads up" on all the local attactions in the area. I took her advise and made the short jaunt to the beach. I was pleased to find that it was so close. They also were very warm and welcoming to my dog Ty. You do not find too many places these days were pets are allowed so I found this to be a great plus since I always travel with him. Ty was delighted when they would sneak him a cookie (with my permission, of course) every now and then. I would recommend this place to anyone passing through the area. Kudos guys......a big thumbs up!!
