This house is really great. Stayed with 3 friends, and there was plenty of space for us all to do our thing, to get ready for the day without tripping on each other. It was really clean. Easy walk to a beautiful private beach. Super quiet neighborhood. Owner is great at communicating - very quick and thorough responses. Highly recommend this home for rentals.

Thank you for the kind words, Lisa. We enjoyed having you as our guests and hope that you come back soon.
We had a wonderful stay—this home is in a pristine, peaceful neighborhood that’s both charming and relaxing. The area feels very safe and is perfect for a quiet getaway.The only small note I’d offer is that the main photo can be a bit misleading—it gives the impression that the beach is directly accessible from the backyard, when in fact it’s a short walk away. That said, the beach is still very close and easy to get to, and the overall experience was fantastic.We truly enjoyed our time here and would absolutely stay again!

Thank you, Shawn for the kind words and for the feedback about the photo. I can see how that could create some confusion, so I will change the order of the photos to make it more clear. We just had a photo shoot and are planning to update the photos shortly. Please let me know when you'd like to come back! Thanks!
The property was extremely clean and had everything you might need for a relaxing stay, and the beach nearby was perfect for exploring. Thank you to Marji for being a wonderful host! We had great time and hope to return.

Linda,
Thank you so much for the kind words about our home. We were happy to host you and your family for the wedding stay and hope that you come back again to stay again!
“Sweet spot getaway” was ‘hands-down’ the most lovely VRBO rental we have stayed in thus far! We gathered here for my son‘s wedding, and Kevin’s attention for every detail, including welcome snacks, a lovely bottle of wine, and fully stacked coffee supplies, greeted us. The house has every convenience, the beds are super comfortable, and the location is ideal, with only a short walk to a lovely little neighborhood beach. Kevin responded immediately to any questions we had. He was flexible and accommodating. Would love to return here again! Absolutely five stars!

About the host
Hosted by Kevin
Hi, I'm Kevin. I'm the owner and host of the Sweet Spot Getaway, our family vacation home in Westbrook, CT. I'm a native to CT and when my 3 children and I are not using the home, we like to share it with our guests. My kids and I are avid outdoors people and love going to the beach. Hosting VRBO guests is incredibly rewarding and it brings me joy to share the fun experiences of our Sweet Spot Getaway with our wonderful guests.
Why they chose this property
We love the quiet neighborhood that's only a 5 minute walk to the private neighborhood beach. Being nestled at the end of a cul-de-sac gives the privacy and nearly non-existent traffic that we were looking for in a beach community.
What makes this property unique
Sweet Spot Getaway is a rare gem of a CT shoreline house. It was completely remodeled a few years ago, stripping the house down to the studs and adding so many modern amenities, like central air which is rare in CT beach homes. It has a uniquely large open design layout with a stocked kitchen, perfect for anyone who loves to cook. Unlike some beach home rentals, we do not cram in many small beds into one room. In fact, we have only large beds, including a King and 3 Queen sized beds, which can sleep 8 people very comfortably. Also, it has an easy flow from the inside to the outside covered and uncovered patios. We are confident that you will love the place as much as we do!
