About the host

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Holly! I'm a Connecticut teacher who fell in love with the shoreline and created The Solo Shore Cottage as a place to slow down, recharge, and make lasting memories. I enjoy reading on the porch, beach walks, and spending time with my dog, Solo, who inspired the cottage's name. I've thoughtfully furnished and stocked the cottage with the comforts I look for when traveling, and I'm always happy to help guests have a wonderful stay.

Why they chose this property

The moment I arrived in this neighborhood, I felt a sense of calm. I love that it's close enough to the beach to walk there, yet tucked away in a quiet shoreline community. Old Lyme offers the perfect mix of relaxation, local charm, beautiful beaches, and coastal New England character. Whether you're spending the day by the water, exploring nearby shops and restaurants, or simply enjoying a quiet evening on the porch, it's an easy place to unwind.

What makes this property unique

The Solo Shore Cottage combines classic shoreline charm with thoughtful modern comforts. Guests love the bright sun porch, outdoor shower, spacious deck, string lights, and relaxing coastal design throughout the home. The cottage comfortably sleeps six guests while maintaining a cozy, welcoming feel. Located just a short walk from the beach, it's the perfect place to enjoy everything the Connecticut shoreline has to offer.
