About this property

Come visit beautiful, family friendly Hawks Nest Beach where you will find a fresh & clean, charming Beach Bungalow that is sure to please! Located on the most popular dead-end street at the beach with a partial ocean view, our 1940's bungalow style cottage is full of a long line of Hawks Nest Beach history and has been transformed into a beachy oasis. The location cannot be beat as you are close to tennis courts, ice cream, the candy store, crabbing on the jetty and more...the beach is within walking distance just down the road. The Beach Bungalow is only a hop skip and a jump away from the famous Old Lyme Carousel and ice cream shop not to mention close to Mystic, Foxwoods & Mohegan Casinos.

Step into a bright, open and airy space! A comfy sofa and chairs fill the vaulted great room along with a gas fireplace for those early spring and chilly fall nights. There is a dining table that sits 6 comfortably. The kitchen area offers everything you will need for dining and cooking while staying with us and comes complete with coffee maker and microwave.

Adorable Cottage

This house is perfectly adorable! Its coastal decor makes you instantly happy when you walk in. We only stayed one night since we were just in town to visit our Coast Guard Academy Cadet, but wished we could stay longer. We said we’d be back next fall! Our only complaints were that we could not get the gas fireplace started or the TV in the family room to work. More importantly, though, the bed and mattress in the back bedroom were very uncomfortable. The bed was very squeaky and the mattress was shot and needs to be replaced. The soft topper is not correcting the problem. The bed would be an easy fix to make the cottage truly delightful.

Best of both

A partial ocean view from the front porch, and private partial wooded feel in the back. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Adorable Cottage!

We stayed at this adorable beach cottage for four nights and enjoyed day trips to the Mystic Seaport Museum and the Mystic Aquarium. Kristine has an excellent eye for design and decor. It’s decorated beautifully and it’s very functional for a family of four. Nice neighbors and lovely neighborhood to walk around too. Highly recommend!

Loved the ”old fashioned” cottage feel… small and cozy but felt roomy! The knotty pine was charming! Reminded me of cottages from the past!
