Very cute cottage in a very quiet neighborhood just steps away from a private, neighborhood beach. When we went for a walk, we found everyone very friendly. Great location for us and very easy to get around to local attractions.We would stay there again.

Beautiful beach cottage

We had such a great stay! The house was clean, comfortable, and exactly what we needed. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and welcoming. The location was perfect. Just a short walk to a beautiful beach. Definitely recommend staying here if you’re looking for a peaceful getaway on the Connecticut shoreline!

Amazing little cottage for 2. Just enough house and beach is truly a short walk to a private beach. This is what sells it for us! Cute little kitchen, but lots of restaurants close. Liquor store (another important place for us), grocery store and everything you could need literally a few minutes away.Second time we've stayed and will absolutely come back! Best little cottage for 2. A slice of heaven!!!

Peaceful retreat

We had a lovely visit to Clinton. Our little cottage was just perfect for two people. It had everything we needed. The neighborhood is peaceful, and the people are friendly. The beach area is clean and not crowded at all. The area has many unique shops and restaurants, and it's not "touristy". Overall, this cottage was ideal for our CT vacation.

The cottage was cute and conveniently located. However the listing said there would be a full kitchen and all that was there for knives was a dull paring knife which made it difficult to cook.

Quaint Little Hideaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this romantic little hideaway. From exploring hidden trails to the town beach, to cooking a nice little dinner before watching the sun set over the sound, to enjoying easily accessible local cuisine, this little nook is perfectly suited for a short or extended beach getaway. We will definitely visit again.
