About the host
Hosted by Ben Thompson
The cottage was originally built in 1934. There has only been one family owner. Decades of great memories have happened and are still in the making in this classic Connecticut Shoreline location. Old style cottage with modern conveniences.
Why they chose this property
Ideal for family gatherings with a private beach and much to explore on the beach (great for small children.
What makes this property unique
Located just 20 minutes from New Haven, there is train service by shoreline east which connects to metro north. This makes it easy a trouble free for a commuting parent, or for a day trip to New York City. This location is also about 35-40 minutes to the Mystic aquarium and seaport.
