Westbrook 1872 Victorian Beach House

It was nice and relaxing...walking, swimming, biking, kayaking and beaching. The house was super cool...150 years old! Nice old fashioned laid back beach vacation! Mary the host was wonderful!

Great Cottage near the water

It was a great week there. The owner has a very easy process of check in and out. Just steps away from the water and plenty of items to use. Saves you from more packing. Very clean and related atmosphere.

Antique and worn

While the house was clean and in a good location, it is very old. There is no air conditioning which is problematic on hot days. The attic fan was very old and not working. It would have been difficult to stay there if the weather had not cooled considerably. The electrical wiring is all exposed and some of it looked pretty outdated. The overall decor seemed to be turn of the last century. Other than the beds, Much of the furniture is fragile and uncomfortable. The interior is very dark, including ancient pictures on the walls. the stairs are quite steep and can be tricky in the middle of the night. I have a splinter embedded under a fingernail from holding onto the wall going down the stairs. Ended up in urgent care as a result. The owner seems very nice and tried to be helpful but lives in Cal. Although we enjoyed Westbrook and the neighborhood, would definitely not rent again.

Our third stay.

We have stayed at this cottage the past 3yrs. The accommodations are great. The cottage has a special charm. The outdoor shower is wonderful. The best part is the location, just 300 ft from the beach, in a nice neighbor. It is conveniently located near everything

WEST BEACH VICTORIAN COTTAGE

This was thoroughly enjoyable. The cottage is very clean & well maintained. You can immediately sense the 100+ years of enjoyment people have experienced there as soon as you enter the cottage. Located under 200 steps from a very nice beach that is visible from the front porch. MANY great restaurants are within short driving distance. The beach community setting is very relaxing for adults, and safe for young children. I would return in the future and would recommend without hesitation to others.

About the host

Hosted by Mary DuQuette

I am a third generation owner of this property, now living in San Diego, CA. I return to Westbrook every summer to unwind and regroup. It's my place of renewal.

Why they chose this property

Purchased by my grandparents in 1915 when 'venturesome cottagers' began to populate the CT shoreline to escape the industrial atmosphere of the cities and it's associated ailments. It remains my favorite escape, full of childhood memories of family and fun.

There is a unique history of this cottage and the one adjacent and the former cottage across from that. Those two were mirror images of mine, with some variation in the placement of the kitchens. They were all moved from possibly Quotonset Beach at the turn of the 20th Century, floated on barges and then pulled up from West Beach on horse-drawn sledges.

A unique historical neighborhood with many of the original families still present. Read the September 12, 1895 description of West Beach "cottagers" in this New York Times article:

What makes this property unique

My grandmother visited beaches all along the CT shore in the early 20th century and settled on West Beach as the best beach. It is a lovely sand beach nestled into a crescent of the CT shoreline with a view of Long Island across the Sound. Great for swimming and for children to play on the sand bars.
