Perfect Getaway

Rented this beautiful home for a family getaway. The home is absolutely stunning and housed all 8 of us perfectly! The location was also perfect with nice walks on the nearby beaches and walking path. And I can not say enough about the host Richard. He was so accommodating and even let us reschedule due to a snow storm! Highly recommend this lovely home and sure hope to make this an annual getaway. enough about the host Richard. and

Perfect for our family

We had a family event nearby and siblings flew in from all over the country. This was large enough where we could all stay and enjoy each others company. The living room was large and had an amazing view. The kitchen was plenty large.

Nice water views

Well,the owner was very friendly and informative,when I spoke to him.The house was right across the street from the sound. I just want to say 2 things,first off,the living room definitely needed curtains or shades or both .The kitchen needed to be stocked for sure!If you are going to cook,bring your own seasonings!But,the sunsets are amazing!!!

Multi-generation holiday away

This was the perfect house and location for a Thanksgiving getaway with three generations of family, including three people in their 80s. Plenty of space and sleeping options, parking was easy, the views were spectacular, and location had lots of walking and exploring options. The kitchen was fully stocked. Check in and checkout were very easy and the communication with the owner was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely return!

Another Awesome Stay!

This was a repeat stay at this beautiful home by the sea. Love the size, convenience, location and vibe of this home! Plus the host is super responsive and so easy to work with. I would 100% recommend this property, especially for a larger group.

Terrific for a relaxing getaway!

The photos that accompany the listing are indeed accurate, but they can't quite adequately convey how bright and serene an environment this house provides -- inside and out. Old Saybrook is a delightful town, and the house is also within easy proximity of, e.g., Mystic, which we like to visit. But we spent less time out and about than anticipated because we were enjoying this house and the Long Island Sound beach so much. The large, well equipped kitchen was a special treat for family members who live in NYC apartments with dinky kitchens. Beds were comfy; hot water did not run out before everyone could shower. Last, but not least, Richard is a terrific host: responsive, informative, and genuinely hospitable! Unlike the exasperating host of last year's rental (who turned out to be an agent for a property management company, not the house owner). In sum, Richard offers a wonderfully comfortable place for low-key fun and happy memory-making with friends or family, We look forward to returning!

The Photos Look Nothing Like Reality

The furnishing are older and look like they were picked up at garage sales. There is an electrical problem where many of the plugs don't work. The foliage around the home is not attended to and is a disgrace.

Phenomenal!!!

This was our second stay here this summer and was, by far, the most enjoyable. I spend most of my time on a walker and found this house most accessible. The weather was exceptionally pleasant so we spent most of our time outdoors. The house was beautifully maintained. I would give one of my arms to have the brass lamp in the living room, !!!

Summer Vibes

Great location: small beach for Fenwood residents within walking distance, Harveys Beach about a five minute drive away. A/C in most rooms, cable tv, washer/dryer, clothesline (which I loved lol), plenty of pots & pans, BBQ, lounge chairs, patio umbrellas, fire pit, and housewares. The host (Richard) was such a cool person who always answered all questions when I reached out with questions, We loved staying at this location so so much!!!!

Family gathering

We needed a large home to provide room for our large family. We all were attending a family wedding mystic This beach home was just beautiful with so much charm. Our young grandchildren loved it especially the yard. The hosts were very responsive There was a leak in a sink and they sent a pllumber right away We' were all dazzled by the water views.
