Quaint and Comfy

We stayed for a wedding near by at the Inn down the street. Quiet, close to the water and clean. Check in was very organized and we had no issues.

Wonderful little cottage in beautiful Saybrook Point

My husband and I were looking for a quiet getaway for our anniversary and this was perfect for us (and our dog!). The cottage was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. Such a peaceful setting, with a beautiful. private patio. We both loved it and hope to come back soon.!

Great Potential, But Falls Short

Enjoyed Old Saybrook and being on my first vacation with my sister, but this cottage does not live up to its potential. Place was so small, especially the bathroom, and was cluttered with furniture in poor condition. It was not ‘shabby chic’ and was disappointing to me at this price. I must admit, however, that the exterior was lovely, including a peaceful deck for morning coffee, The owner was charming and helpful. The location is quiet and peaceful. .

House was clean. It was comfortable. The location was great. We found the “free only” tv channels difficult to use. We were initially only given two wash cloths for a seven day stay. When we mentioned this to the homeowner, he left 4 more washcloths—not really what we expected.

The cottage was compact and situated on a private and spacious lawn only a stone's throw from a scenic cove and offered close proximity to whatever amenities you could wish for, for dining, tourism or the local beach. The check in was the easiest I had ever encountered. Door was open...key was on the table and that's how you departed. One note, the bathroom was small and the shower was narrow. A private patio included a gas grill and table, chairs and umbrella, plus several reclining lawn chairs. 10 out of ten for me!

The side deck is very private as there are plantings that have grown in. I slept with the windows open and the neighborhood is extremely quiet. The only sounds I heard were that of chirping insects. While this cottage is on the property of a larger house, I never once saw or heard the occupants of the house. It was a very peaceful getaway.

Cozy, beautiful, quiet stay

My husband I and stayed here three nights for our honeymoon in early May and enjoyed every second. Everything was green, flowering, and the house was very comfortable. The neighborhood is gorgeous and quiet - quite well-off and manicured! The ocean is two houses away with public beaches (not dog friendly though), bike paths, and some forested walks available. Our dog (a labrador) was quite comfortable here too. We loved how close all the stores, beaches, and walking areas are. Everything was in good working order at the house, it has lots of windows, so it cooled off fast in the evening and even stayed cool on hotter days as long as we closed the windows and shades. The porch felt private and was perfect for morning tea and knitting! Overall, we loved our stay and hope to come back soon. This was the perfect place for 1 person, or a couple.
