Why they chose this property
🌟The home is eccentric and tastefully art-filled. Guests have a surreal experience and are compelled to leave reviews like this .....
🌟"Incredible location, the cutest house!! Loved sitting and drinking coffee on the porches!! Easy walk to the beach and close to all the amenities in town! House was super clean and adorable! Would love to stay again in the summer!!!"
🌟"This place was perfect for the weekend. It was clean, well thought out with personal touches, and cozy. The location was great, easily walkable to the beach and some downtown shops. We would definitely stay here again!"
🌟"I highly recommend choosing this place to escape any stress and pressure you might have. It’s a magical, cozy home with just the right amount of charm and all the benefits of new and modern. Hard to explain how it feels but what I can say is that I took my 13-year-old, 17-year-old, and boyfriend and we all had a profound, positive reaction. It was as though so much care and thought were put into the home that it spoke to each of us in some unique capacity. Our host Laura was beyond attentive and far exceeded my expectations! The serenity of the beach and breathtaking natural scenery complete with butterflies made this trip incredibly peaceful and good for the soul. A true reboot! I will definitely be returning!!!"

For your Dining needs...
🦞 Lazy Lobster will personally set a table up for you on the beach.
🐝 Bees Knees Cafe will deliver to your beach towel.
🌊 Tyde is only two blocks away and offers a fine dining experience.
🎶 Enjoy one of the many free concerts always popping up on Naugatuck Ave, Firehouse Art Gallery, or at the Walnut Beach Concert Pavillion.
🏖 Compete in our world renowned Sandcastle building contest each summer.
🎃 Halloween you are in for a treat…just sit on the front porch because Park Ave gets its own Parade.
🎸Porchfest is a city-wide music festival in which homes host live musicians on their porches.
🦜 "Pirate Days" and even a 🐥"Rubber Ducky Race" in the harbor each June.
🦞Annual Lobster Bake each July!
🌲 Christmas tree lighting, carolers on the green with hot, even adult, cocoa…
The fun keeps going!
