Wedding Happiness

My family and another stayed here for a night because of friend’s wedding. The house was charming and cleaned. We loved the location and it fit all 10 of us. Catherine accommodated our check in request so we could get ready at the house. We all would recommend Catherine. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home.

Old Lyme house

We just got back from a long weekend at Catherine’s lovely beach house.I must say the pictures don’t do it justice to how beautiful the house really is. There was nothing’s we could want that wasn’t provided. The location was fantastic and it was in a very safe, family oriented neighborhood. The house had enough room for everyone to have their own space (7 of us) and my granddaughters used the outdoor shower everyday!Catherine responded quickly to my (many) inquiries. There was more than ample parking and we basically walked everywhere. I have stayed in several VRBO properties but none can close to the touches that were provided. I am looking forward to booking again next year!

Wonderful beach house

I stayed here on a short vacation with my wife, five kids, and dog. The house and beach were just delightful. It felt like home--very welcoming and comfortable. I was impressed with the top-quality finishes in the kitchen and bathrooms. Everything was very clean and new. We all fit well into the four bedrooms. Easy parking for our two Lincoln Navigators in the driveway. Generous sized yard for a beach community--space for kids and dog to run and play. This beach is great too with good sand, clean water, and friendly neighbors in a private community. This is the eleventh or twelfth house in from the beach, so the walk is short and right down the street. Water view from front yard. Great, fast, detailed, friendly communication from Catherine (the owner) who answered my many questions in advance. Overall this was a great experience in a lovely house and I hope to come here again. Thanks so much, Catherine!
