SPEND JULY AND AUGUST PLAYING BY THE WATER! Or longer if you'd like. This is a rare opportunity for a two-month rental of a home that is normally booked very early for much longer...Spend the summer on the water...A waterfront home is both soothing and entertaining, providing a view that changes not just from day to day, but from minute to minute. Located just a short drive or bike ride to Westport's renowned Longshore Club Park with beaches on Long Island Sound, one of CT's top golf courses, numerous sports venues, and great children's playground, your summer can be filled with outdoor activities. Fabulous location with exquisite home, furnished for owners. Private, dead-end road leads to this recently-renovated stylish 4 bedroom, 3 bath home on the Saugatuck River. Located in a sought-after neighborhood, walking distance to town and the trendy Saugatuck Center. A gourmet kitchen, luxurious baths, and welcoming balconies are complimented by hardwood floors, original art, handmade rugs and fine furnishings. Enjoy views of the river with world-renowned rowers, colorful kayaks, canoes, native herons, egrets, and swans. Set off by kayak or canoe to one of many riverside restaurants, or catch live music, under the stars. Fish from the dock. Lay beneath towering pines catching a cool on-shore breeze during the day or bask in the light of one of two outdoor fireplaces as the sun sets. Relax on the stone patio overlooking the pool and river, or enjoy the changing hues of the water from indoors. In the evening, entertain in the formal dining room or by firelight at the river's edge. Comfortable, gracious living in a camp-like setting nestled on 3/4 of an acre with 155' of riverfront. Quiet, private property that's close to the beach, golf, an amazing number of great dining venues, live entertainment and more. Close to NYC. Commuters can walk, or choose the cute town bus to ride to the train station -- pick up is at the end of our private road.

3, 6, 12, 24 MONTH OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE IN OUR HOME: Our property isn't a vacation rental--it's our full-time home! As such, it offers a lot more than what you usually find elsewhere. Nothing on the property was purchased with the thought that 'this will be good enough for our renters.' Everything in our home was hand chosen to make our lives richer. Here's our story: The summer of 2010 was the first time we offered our newly-renovated house as a rental, and we sailed to Maine. All went well and every summer we plan to sail off again, for the summer, or longer. We live and work from our home and love the location! We're walking distance to the train (to NYC), fabulous shopping, a tremendous number of restaurants and free live concerts in the summer. It's great here, but sailing is our passion and we've cruised, living and working aboard, venturing as far south as the Bahamas. We hope our wanderlust will provide a unique opportunity for another family to live in our home for an extended period of time.
