Great vacation value! As one of our recent guests put it, "I have stayed in many B&Bs, hotels and rental places as a traveling writer and photographer, and yours is one of the best locations and setups I've experienced in the moderate range..... I do think you could charge more for the house if you wanted to." (The Boggs Family, 2007)

On the first floor, the house has a living room, dining room, recently remodeled and fully equipped kitchen, double bedroom, enclosed, three season front and back porches for lots of extra space, and bathroom with shower.

THE AREA:
Remember when you were a kid and the whole family went to a real old-fashioned beach and boardwalk? A 3 minute walk away, Ocean Beach Park recreates that era, with its half-mile long white sand beach and boardwalk. Enjoy the amusement rides, waterslides, miniature golf, food and ice cream, Workout World (WOW) Fitness Center, nature preserve and trails, Olympic-sized pool, children's playground and huge video arcade. A new children's splash park opened in 2006! See the weblink below for all the events and entertainment schedules for Ocean Beach Park. With the family beach pass (included in rental rate), your whole family can enjoy the beach, boardwalk, beach volleyball courts, nightime movies and entertainment on the beach and much more. (Daily passes for the pool, waterslides and rides are available for purchase at the park). Weekly passes are available for Workout World.
Launch our two-person kayak (or your own boat) on Alewife Cove, just a stone's throw away, and explore the Ocean Beach Wildlife preserve and miles of scenic areas of coastal Long Island Sound by water. See the weblink below for more pictures of the house and surrounding area.
A short drive away are two of the world's largest casinos, Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods. In addition to casino gaming and shopping, the casinos provide name entertainment, great dining and professional sports. The family will LOVE the new Jimmy Buffet Margaritaville at the Mohegan!
