The property was lovely. It was easy to find, extremely convenient to Fairfield University (we were attending graduation) and was in a great location. Communication with Jeff was exemplary - he is extremely responsive and gracious. I would highly recommend Jeff and would definitely rent from him again if I were in the area.

Great property and location! We enjoyed hanging on the beach and walking into town. Unfortunately, the construction activity that was underway put a bit of a damper on the experience. That being said, we would rent this property again.

About the host

Hosted by Jeff Giannone

Host profile image
I bought this property in 2014 and did a ground up renovation. The location is amazing situated on Sasco Creek across the street from the beautiful Southport beach on the Westport line.

Why they chose this property

Walk to the beach surrounded by multi-million dollar estates. Close to everything yet quiet and private.

What makes this property unique

Sea breezes, bike or walk to beach, Southport village will make you feel like you are far from Fairfield County, in a good way.
