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.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! This was the perfect Connecticut beach cottage—clean, beautifully decorated, cozy, and just steps away from everything we wanted to enjoy. It truly felt like a home away from home.The host was outstanding from start to finish. Communication was prompt, friendly, and incredibly helpful, making check-in and our entire stay completely stress-free.What really set this property apart was how family-friendly it was. The cottage was stocked with plenty of games, toys, and activities that kept our kids entertained, which made the trip even more relaxing for us as parents. It was clear that every detail had been thoughtfully considered to make guests feel welcome.We couldn’t have asked for a better beach getaway and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing, family-friendly escape on the Connecticut shoreline!

This home is lovely and set up nicely for 6-7 people. There are fishing poles, tackle box, bicycles, toys for the water, cooler and a wagon to pull everything to the beach. The beach is quite private and there are chairs down there that are for guests staying at the beach house. When going to the beach, if you have very small children or elderly people it is about 1/2 a mile from the house to the beach. If you drive down there is no parking but can drop people off. Walking out at low tide is especially fun. The house is on a quiet road. The gas grill works great and the kitchen has everything and the grocery store is less than a mile away. The AC works great and the hosts are readily available if needed. We saw wonderful sunsets from the backyard.

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!
