About this property
Charming Cottage with L.I. Sound and Marsh Views
Completely renovated with new septic, solar, appliances,.. 1000 SF home sleeps 7 directly across the street from one house on a private beach. Enjoy water views of Long Island Sound from a large 4-season porch/front room with windows on three sides full 4-seater sofa and four cushioned rattan chairs newly recovered with ottomans and coffee tables. Walk inside to large living room with 3 seater and 2 seater sofas, large cushioned chair with ottoman and more little side tables. This room is open through dining and kitchen and views of miles of protected salt marsh views from the full deck along the back of the house. The deck has a loveseat, 2 lounge chairs and coffee table on one end, a new Weber grill, dining table and 6 chairs on the other end - there is also an outside shower. The house has a one level, spacious open floor plan of a large front room, kitchen, living room, leading to two bedrooms and a full bath with bath tub/shower. This Home has central air & heat throughout, washer/dryer, full kitchen with new appliances and a dishwasher (with soap so you can run it every night), cabinets full of dishes, glassware, pots & pans - I leave detergent, soaps, everything you need. New bath (tub/shower, toilet, large vanity with sink) and four drawer bureau full of extra linens and towels. Washer/Dryer unit means anything can be cleaned easily - I even leave detergent. Each bedroom has new mattresses, 2 pillows/person, blankets & quilts with sheets, so you can be comfortable even on cool nights. The pullout sofa bed also has its own set of sheets, pillows and blanket. There are overhead fans in each room if you want to open windows. The deck runs along the full back of the house, high above the marsh, so watching the birds & sunset is wonderful. Deck has a gas grill, seating for 8 on the deck - dine outside or in - outside shower on deck. And the beach is a short walk across the street! Shore Road is a 20mph, wonderful to walk or ride (bring your bikes), lined with summer homes with families.
A lot of seating a lot of room offering a lot of comfort on a quiet street with a spacious house on a quarter acre grassy lot.
The house was gutted 14 years ago, raised and new electrical, plumbing, roof, windows, doors, ceilings, walls, floors, bath and kitchen completely new. Central air & heat and overhead ceiling fans in all rooms for fresh cross breeze from the sound or marsh. 2 bedrooms offer private sleeping quarters, while sofas offer extra spots with one queen pullout sofa bed. White sofa and loveseat, cushy chair and ottoman in the living room have two end tables and a coffee table, large 50' TV with DVD & cable will entertain at night. Separate front room allows for two groups of people to do their own thing (with a door in between) in one house and features a 4 seater rattan, custom-covered sofa and matching 4 chairs and ottoman, side table, coffee table, and bookcase with books and games. The kitchen has new dishwasher, refrigerator, oven/4 burner cooktop, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker, baking sheets & pans, serving dishes, wine glasses...it also has a drop-leaf table (which expands) with five matching chairs and 2 spares inside (+4 outside) to add. Dine inside or out on the deck - you can see the sunsets and watch osprey and other birds in the salt marsh - another beautiful view. The beach across the street is only shared with one house (whose older inhabitants rarely leave their deck) so the beach is not crowded and access to the water is direct. Bring your walking shoes, bicycles or kayaks and enjoy! Route 1 two miles away with Stop & Shop, Shop Rite, TJ Max, Clinton & five miles is Westbrook Outlet shopping, cinemas, with many family and fine restaurants along the ride. Wonderful place to vacation with quick access to nearby Madison's State Park on the water, small towns with their historic sites and antique shops to wander through. I can give you many ideas to fill your days or nights when you want a break from enjoying the beach.

About the host
Hosted by Marie Farrell
I grew up summering across the street, where my parents still live. They have been there 45 years as have most of our neighbors . We enjoy the beach, it our favorite place during the season, and when the season ends the weather is still warm, the water is warm too. This is my family's favorite place.
Why they chose this property
The house across the street - on the beach - has been the place my family celebrated holidays and continues to be our place to gather. When our elderly neighbors passed away and their daughter - my peer - wanted to sell the house we jumped on the opportunity to buy it. We rent the house to offer everyone the chance to be on the beach for their vacation. And until there comes a day we can afford the taxes and costs of the house on our own, we rent it to you. I hope one day we can retire here.
What makes this property unique
What's great about this house is that I gutted it and everything is new, that there is central air and ceiling fans, that there is a livingroom and a separate front room so that two groups can enjoy separate activities if they want to (watch tv in one room and enjoy reading or hearing conversations in the other) - just close the door in between them. It's a wonderful house, it comes with everything, even dishwasher soap because i want you to have a wonderful vacation and come back again! I live just down the road so if you need anything I can come over quickly.
