The space was clean, comfortable, and well furnished. We loved the cottage’s convenient location and its great view of the Indian River. The kayaking rental was a great amenity which our young daughter very much enjoyed. Would love to stay again!

Perfect getaway

We couldn’t have asked for anything more! The space was just the right size, perfectly clean, and had everything we needed. Clinton was a quiet town with breakfast spots within walking distance. Ann and Chris were fabulous hosts- friendly and helpful. And having kayaks available throughout our stay was icing on the cake! Highly recommend.

Beautiful spot, lovely hosts!

Ann and Chris were great hosts; they made sure we had everything we needed! The house was easy to find, clean and the perfect fit for my husband, 4 month old and me. It was within minutes of restaurants and was close to the Hammonasset state park. The back porch overlooking the water was beautiful and so relaxing in the morning. We would absolutely stay here again!

Don’t hesitate!

The peaceful serene environment and the comfortable, quaint, and clean accommodations are exactly what you need to unwind and relax. The decor was exactly what you would want for a shoreline stay in Clinton. We couldn’t be happier. The hosts provide a perfect place to enjoy the sunrise from the deck while having your morning coffee. Don’t hesitate to book this beautiful shoreline stay.

Lovely cottage get away

We loved every thing about our mini vacation the cottage was beautifully decorated Absolutely Cozy, the bed was extremely comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked if we needed to cook. We loved sitting on the deck in the morning watching the sun rise. We took a leisurely walk around the charming neighborhood there are many restaurants and pubs within walking distance. Our hosts were friendly and very responsive. We hope to make it back there in the fall. Overall it was a great experience.

Comfort With Coastal Vibe

Nicely appointed inside with a sunny outdoor deck overlooking the marina and beyond. We took a walk among the quiet surrounding streets. We wished we had additional free time to kayak and explore the river that property’s marina operates. Chris and Ann are great hosts and were very accessible. Highly recommend.

Vacation-finally!

Staying at Chris & Ann’s is cottage was such a pleasant experience. The minute we opened the door, I noticed how clean it was. Almost everything seemed new or barely used with lots of nice small touches-a snack basket, bathroom supplies, fully stocked kitchen with basic cooking supplies. It was very quiet with a peaceful view of the bay from the balcony. We enjoyed kayaking twice. We hope to go back again!

Weekend away

We chose this property as a quick weekend get-away. It has a great view of a river inlet where the owners also run a Kayak business. It is within a very quick drive to Hammonasset Beach. The unit itself was immaculately maintained and well decorated. It felt warm and inviting. Every detail was taken care of by the hosts. It was such a welcome change to have linens, towels, soaps, etc all provided. We had a chance to meet the hosts who were very nice and happy to answer any questions. I would highly recommend this property.
