Quick change of scenery to end school year

Wanted to get away to celebrate the end of school but stay close enough to get teenagers to work. This was perfect. Really appreciate being able to take the dog with us.

Fabulous Stay!

The house was exactly what was described. It was very clean, cozy, and filled with additional amenities that made our stay feel like home. The house was so convenient and in a great beach community with just a short walk to the beach. The fenced in yard was perfect for our dog to enjoy playing ball and running. All in all a great little treasure in a wonderful place. We loved it!

Cutest

Loved the location of this cute beach association property just steps to the beach. Comfy couch and bed, a/c kept the house nice and comfy in a heatwave! Host was easy to communicate with and was able to accommodate an ask.I always pack a poker strip when I amTraveling and was glad I had it here, one minor suggestion from my partner, descale the Keurig. I don’t drink coffee so it had zero effect on me !

Great baby moon getaway!

Amazing property and relaxing weekend! 😄 Host was accommodating and responded promptly. Disappointed with accuracy of listing regarding the spa tub and picture/listing of canoe. Planned a canoe day and was unable due to no canoe on property. Dog loved the yard and enjoyed her stay too!

A happy holiday stay

The cottage is well equipped and spacious. There was plenty of seating for our family holiday get together and for our 2 dogs and their crates. The yard is pet safe and the neighborhood is great for walking. The YouTube video explains pretty much everything. Also, we were there for some very cold weather so also have to give the heating system 5 stars!!

Great Stay in Saybrook Manor

The cottage at Saybrook Manor is a great place to stay. Everything is new and well organized/thought out. The kitchen is well appointed, the bed is comfy and the bathroom well supplied with toiletries, towels and washer/dryer. The beach at the end of the lane has beautiful views. When I stayed there in December it was way too cold to spend time there, but in the summer it looks like it’d be an ideal spot to take a dip and soak up some sun. Highly recommended.
