About this property

UPDATED HOME, king+queen beds, AC, 5 min walk to beach, 1 min to Waters Edge

Welcome to our beautifully updated home, in a peaceful beach neighborhood. Sweet Spot Getaway is a newly renovated charmer, nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac, in a neighborhood with private beach access. Take a 5 minute stroll to the beach, or drive 6 minutes to the town beach. Our home features 3 spacious bedrooms, with the main bedroom on the first floor, 2.5 updated bathrooms, a garage, and a large, open family room. There is a chef's kitchen with all the necessary amenities and new appliances. Grill and chill outside on our covered and uncovered patios, or relax in our central air conditioned, open family room. There is beautiful wood flooring and central A/C controlled by Nest thermostats throughout the entire house.

Sweet Spot Getaway is easy to get to, as it is about a 5 minute drive off the highway, and accessible to the Westbrook Shoreline East train station for access into NYC. It is the perfect location to work from home and be inspired with creativity as you relax on the quiet private neighborhood beach. Our fast Wi-Fi speeds make remote working easy.

Have an event at the Water's Edge Resort or the Elk's Lodge? Attending a graduation at Yale or another university? Our home can serve as a perfect family friendly alternative to staying on the resort while being only a 1 minute drive to Water's Edge, a 5 minute drive to the Elk's Lodge, and an easy 35 minute drive to Yale. Our large chef's kitchen is modern and stocked with everything you need to cook for your family. We know how challenging it can be travelling with small children. Our Sweet Spot Getaway will give you the space you need for napping, meals, relaxing time, playing games in the backyard, and being able to cook in the kitchen or BBQ on the outdoor propane grill.

There is plenty of space to spread out, with 2 bedrooms upstairs, and a large main bedroom with en-suite bathroom, downstairs. The main bedroom has plenty of room for a portable crib (not provided) for those travelling with infants. Our home has ample space for a family reunion, or a change of scenery to spend the holidays with your friends and family. It is also perfect for a solo trip or a romantic getaway. If you need baby gear during your stay, we recommend renting cribs, car seats, strollers, toys and more from BabyQuip. Visit https://www.babyquip.com/a/y57bjq to make a reservation.

Enjoy delicious restaurants, local shopping at 2 different outlet malls, wineries, and of course, the local beaches. There are many surrounding attractions that are easy to reach, including Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods Casinos, the Essex Steam Train & Riverboat, Gillette Castle, the Katherine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, Goodspeed Opera House, Mystic Aquarium, and Mystic Seaport.

Whether planning a family beach vacation, a Fall foliage weekend, or a romantic winter getaway, our home is perfect at any time of year. Our neighborhood is a lovely place to take a quiet stroll or a relaxing bike ride. Come discover the beauty of the New England coastline!

We loved our stay at this beautiful home. The check-in process was very easy and the home was extremely clean and new. We loved the table outside under the covering with a grill and little side yard for games. The kitchen was equipped with what we needed to cook for the week. Plenty of bathrooms for everyone. Quick, easy walk to the private beach but we didn't visit that one too much, we just drove 6 minutes to the town beach. Nice, quiet, private neighborhood close to shops and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again!

My family and I had a great stay here. The house was immaculately clean, updated, very well furnished, and very comfortable. The kitchen and living/dining areas in particular were spacious and well-designed. The host was proactive about communicating with me and very nice to work with--for example, he was kind enough to let us check in early because we had an event to get to that conflicted with the original check in time. The location near the beach was really cute, in a quiet neighborhood. Check-in and check-out process were seamless. Would definitely recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Kevin

Host profile image

Hi, I'm Kevin. I'm the owner and host of the Sweet Spot Getaway, our family vacation home in Westbrook, CT. I'm a native to CT and when my 3 children and I are not using the home, we like to share it with our guests. My kids and I are avid outdoors people and love going to the beach. Hosting VRBO guests is incredibly rewarding and it brings me joy to share the fun experiences of our Sweet Spot Getaway with our wonderful guests.

Why they chose this property

We love the quiet neighborhood that's only a 5 minute walk to the private neighborhood beach. Being nestled at the end of a cul-de-sac gives the privacy and nearly non-existent traffic that we were looking for in a beach community.

What makes this property unique

Sweet Spot Getaway is a rare gem of a CT shoreline house. It was completely remodeled a few years ago, stripping the house down to the studs and adding so many modern amenities, like central air which is rare in CT beach homes. It has a uniquely large open design layout with a stocked kitchen, perfect for anyone who loves to cook. Unlike some beach home rentals, we do not cram in many small beds into one room. In fact, we have only large beds, including a King and 3 Queen sized beds, which can sleep 8 people very comfortably. Also, it has an easy flow from the inside to the outside covered and uncovered patios. We are confident that you will love the place as much as we do!
