I am a bit late to positing this review (stayed in November) but wanted to leave a recommendation for this cute spot for anyone who’s looking to stay here. It’s located in a cute neighborhood, close to beaches and nice walking areas. The house is a bit small, but we had a party of 6 people and 2 dogs, which ended up working well for us, as we were out of the house for most of the time we were there. The host was responsive and the checking in/ out process was clear and easy! Thank you!

Cute little cottage in a great location. Well set up for my wife and I and our two pups who enjoyed the fenced in back yard. Only complaint is that the parking was a little weird. The neighbors I suspect are being purposefully difficult and parking their cars in such a manner that it makes it difficult for the tenant of this property to back up and leave.

Lovely Cottage

Lovely little cottage in a pretty, quiet neighborhood. Once you find it down the little lane, it's a great location to be in. Not far from town and close to the water, we really enjoyed relaxing at the house and in the backyard. Highly recommend.

Grammie’s Great Adventure

Clean, uncluttered, fenced yard, close to beach, great neighborhood for walking, quiet, everything we needed. Totally forgot how much work it is taking a 5 month old (and a 5 year old) to the beach; so great that Harvey’s Beach is less than 10 mins away. Perfect 5 day getaway for my daughter, grandchildren and me!

Lovely home , great location

Our stay at this beautiful home was perfect. Everything we needed was at our disposal . The house was clean and comfortable , the yard was private and so very peaceful and we could walk or bike to dinner . Each morning we took a walk across the causeway which was so beautiful and enjoyed golfing at Fenwick.. We look forward to a return trip.

Location/ Privacy

We had a wedding at the Saybrook Inn and decided to stay here for 3 nights. What a fantastic home, very cute, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it strongly, it’s pretty much a no-brainer everything you need is within the home, including a nice weber grill outside. I really don’t know what more you can ask for.

Cove Cottage #1 Fan!!!

We stayed over Thanksgiving weekend to reunite (finally!) with extended family. This home was warm, cozy, beautifully decorated, and exceeded all my expectations! The energy was inviting and comfortable, the space was immaculate, and frankly I didn’t want to leave :-) Highly recommend *****

About the host

Hosted by Alison Ginnett

Host profile image
Jim and I (Ali) love this as our own getaway-- its cozy, cute, and has great energy. We are avid adventurers. We took on, perhaps, the biggest adventure of our lives when we combined our families in June of 2021. Now a family of 7 (9 if you count the cat and pup!), we try our best to make room in the chaos for some good old fashion quality time and exploration. We're lucky that Connecticut has so much to offer right in our own backyard.

Between our day jobs, raising our family and selling houses, we can usually be found boating, scoping out a local brewery, working out or relaxing on the shoreline.

We live here in Connecticut and we love our community. We find that the best places are usually those that come with great neighbors, plenty of gems to explore and a vibe that usually leaves you wanting to come back for more. Our love of hospitality combined with my career in real estate has helped make this VRBO a great place to be!

Why they chose this property

Location, Location, Location! Saybrook is a special place, and this house captures the essence of that. Whether you are a water adventurer, beachcomber, history buff, or lighthouse expert, Saybrook will not disappoint. This house has everything, making traveling here easy and relaxing while offering beautiful accommodations.

What makes this property unique

The fenced backyard gives you a place to relax, and your dog a place to run. Add the fire pit for a little ambiance and you're at your home away from home. When you're ready to adventure, the short walk to the resort makes restaurants, spas and luxury easily available.
