Southwest corner of the house. Master BR upstairs. The view is stunning
Location: Old Lyme, Connecticut, USA (100 miles from NY or Boston, On Long Is.Sound and Ct River)
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 4 Baths (Sleeps 7-10)
Fabulous shingle style house overlooking Long Island Sound and the CT River. The view is 270 degrees and fabulous. Why pay Hampton's prices? The dock provides access to the Connecticut River or Long Island Sound for boating. You can use the canoes and kayaks. You wake up to views of two light houses and lots of birds.
It has beach rights at a beautiful uncrowded beach. It is near town and has easy access to the highway. It is only four miles from the New York train so friends can visit without cars. The garden is large and level perfect for croquet or soccer games. We have a great hottub, a canoe and bikes at the house. This is the way the Hamptons used to be. Why pay Hampton's prices when you can have it all here and much more.
This part of Connecticut is incredibly full of things to do. In addition to golf, tennis, boating and fishing we have the casinos, Mystic, Essex, art museums and galleries, Summer Music, 4 summer theatres including the Goodspeed opera house and many others.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1994
This is our main house but we like to share it for a couple of weeks a year as it asures us that we will take a vacation. We rent it ifor a week in June and 1 - 2 weeks in late august. We will also rent on Winter weekends and over the holidays in the winter.
Why the Owner Chose Old Lyme
The location of this house is great because it is very private and yet is 2 miles from the highway or the Amtrak train to NY or Boston so it is really easy for visitors. WE truly have an amazing view and never tire of wathing the birds and the water. The fising is also very good. Our gardens are full of lowers and fruit so almost any time you come there is something fresh.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Most guests at the house stay here without leaving as it is so pleasant. however, the area is full of theatres, live music great restaurants and cultural depth. The hottub and swimming off the dock even sems to keep teenagers busy.
