About this property

3+BR/ 2 bath in Grove Beach Improvement Association Community... Central AC

Looking for a quintessential family vacation on the Connecticut shore? Our family vacation home has Central Air, 3 bedrooms, a bunk room, 2 bathrooms, a large family room, sunroom, private backyard with patio, Weber grill, picnic table, and firepit, a nice kitchen with everything needed to cook a nice meal for your family. We are situated in Grove Beach Improvement Association directly across the street from the Long Island Sound.... walk or bike .4 miles down the road to beach. Central A/C is a must during the Summer even on the shore.

Enjoy the luxuries of home while staying at the beach--- a 50inch smart TV above the gas fireplace, wifi, and cable. Have a family barbecue or cook lobsters in the private back yard that backs up to the Clinton Land Conservation Trust or enjoy your breakfast in the sunroom watching the birds soar through the conservation land. You will not help, but to think.... "Life is Good." We love enjoying family meals together then walking to the Grove Beach Green to play wiffle ball, throw the frisbee, or just hang out. Beach chairs, bikes, yard games, beach toys are in the shed for your use.

Available for weekly summer rentals and as an academic rental from September 4th- June 1st.

Other things to note:
The neighborhood has quiet streets for morning and evening walks, runs or bike rides with spectacular ocean views. Walk to Dairy Queen for a treat with the family (.8miles) and burn some calories while enjoying the scenery. Great location-- restaurants, supermarket, and outlet shopping minutes away. If you don't feel like cooking-- checkout some of the CT shoreline's most popular restaurants like Shanks Waterfront Dining, Bill's Seafood, Lobster Landing, Lenny & Joe's, Rocky's Aqua, Haywire, or Boom Restaurant- they are all just minutes away...

The Casinos and historic Mystic Seaport (and Aquarium) are 30 minutes away. Also nearby are the Ivoryton Playhouse, the Goodspeed Opera House, the Essex Steam Train, Gillette Castle, and many Connecticut Vineyards. Easy access to the Westbrook, Clinton and Old Saybrook train stations (trains to New York City or Boston).

We thoroughly enjoyed this home for our vacation with our grandkids! The house was nicely decorated in a beach theme. It was very clean, all was ready for us to just walk in and enjoy our vacation! The kitchen was small but definitely workable. Everything we needed was there. The owners were very responsive to any questions and also made suggestions on beaches. We would definitely stay there again.

Great summer vacation

We were very impressed with the cleanliness, beach decor, comfort, amenities and overall thoughtfulness and details that went into this beach house. There was nothing we needed that wasn’t provided, with the exception of bed linens , but that was noted in the listing. The central AC worked perfectly and kept us comfortable y our stay. We throughly enjoyed our time here for family meals or evening cocktails and board games. We had so much fun, we never turned on the tv. The Alexa provided was a nice touch and we used it each day for music and weather updates. We walked to the beach in the mornings and then again in the afternoons after lunch. Low tide is so much fun with the sand bars and hermit crabs! We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely rent here again!

Great time in Clinton!

My husband, and 9yr old daughter rented this beautiful home for a few days in July. We were able to hang out with friends and family who live nearby and celebrate my birthday during our stay. The house is beautifully decorated and has everything you could need. We loved our stay and will definitely book again! The only bad thing was we didn't get to stay longer.

Great Beach Cottage

Very nice cottage charmingly decorated in Grove Beach area of Clinton. Our family of 5 adults and an infant stayed for a week in July of 2019. It was very clean and had all the comforts of home including central AC, large screen TV, washer / dryer, and internet. The owner Mike was very responsive during the rental process and communicated with us during our stay to make sure any questions we had were answered. We expect to rent this cottage again next summer.

Great Beach Cottage

My Son and family and myself stayed in this cottage on Groveway in Clinton from June 29th to July 6th. Being from Denver my grandchildren had never seen the ocean before. The cottage was clean and big enough to fit us all and then some. It had everything we needed except scissors. You would be surprised how often you need a pair of scissors! The toys for the kids to play with were great and they loved playing with them.. The beach was a walk but the children didn’t mind and loved every minute of beach time. The home is located in a nice quiet neighborhood, the local restaurants were very friendly and willing to answer questions. The only problems we ran into where some small black ants in the dining room! Also the owner has a nest thermostat, during the night it's programmed to turn the AC up to 74, every night we woke up hot and had to turn it back down. We love Clinton and will be back again.

It was lovely, just what we needed.

The owners were attentive and responsive when needed. We were there for two months and it was cozy and warm. Close to everything, clean, well decorated, plenty of space, great bathrooms and laundry. The only two minor drawbacks are the Roku TV. And the fact that the main bedroom doesn’t have a queen bed which would fit.

Response from VrboOwner on 27 Mar, 2020
Thanks so much for the review and we’re so happy that you enjoyed the stay! We just purchased in June and are are still making adjustments with the furniture— a King or Queen in the master is on the list for sure; we completely agree and thank you for the feedback. Our goal is to make this change by summertime. We love the RokuTv, but it can be a bit complex if you’re not used to it. Maybe we can make a short video for guests to lessen the learning curve. Thanks again for taking the time to share and we’re so glad you enjoyed your stay at 14 Groveway!

Stylish, beautiful house in a fantastic location

My family stayed in this lovely house for a whole month last year and ever since I have been dreaming about returning. The house itself is homely but stylish in a classy, not too modern way. It is beautifully furnished with antiques and one off pieces. We were a little apprehensive at only seeing it in the photos which can be deceiving but it is every bit as lovely. The facilities are more than you could want for a holiday. There was a Kitchen Aid!, a huge American washer/dryer, bikes for the whole family, a fire pit, games and toys galore for my five year old. My daughter learnt to ride a bike on the quiet road outside and has come back obsessed about lemonade stands! It is really set up as a home from home. We had one issue with a blown fuse board when we were there and the owners had someone round immediately to fix it. (it was simply a case that we had not understood where the fuse board was). The area has many amenities on its doorstep. The private beach is a short walk up the road. In all the four weeks we were there we essentially had it to ourselves. Newhaven was about 30mins in the car and Providence was about an hour up the road. The train to New York leaves locally. In the four weeks we only scratched the surface of what we could have done. But we loved just pottering locally - going to farmers markets, riding lessons, buying a pumpkin, breakfast at the local Turtle Cafe (recommended), SMores at Shanks on the waterfront, farms with corn mazes and ice cream. There is a great yoga class each week in the R Julia Bookshop which is a must see in Madison. And in general it is clear that there is a great community spirit in the area with community events on all the time. The owners left a book out of restaurant recommendations and they were all great shouts. The house would suit anyone I am sure but its clear that the owners go out of their way to add that little extra personal touch and thats what sets it apart. (they had even left a pumpkin in the doorstep) I would go back in a heart beat. We have been to the area before and stayed in the Madison Beach Club but I far preferred the relaxing nature of the house. The only issue is that the bed in the spare room, although beautiful to look at, is not comfy for an adult and very squeaky. And two of the bedrooms are connected which was no issue for us but might have been for others. It is winning combination of location, house, superb friendly hosts.

Amazing property & super nice Owners!

This is such a nice home - you can not go wrong renting it! Beautifully decorated, very clean and with so many cute details such as fresh flowers! The layout is perfect for teens who want their own space -as the bedrooms are away from the main living area. The kitchen was fully stocked and the three burner grill was awesome! The shed was filled with anything you would need for a fun day on the beach. There is a private beach within walking distance, but just 10 min away we discovered how amazing Hammonasset Beach is! Having a firepit was awesome and many smores were enjoyed! I would definitely recommend this property! Thank you Mike for a great stay :-)
