This place was a hidden gem! We were in bliss from the moment we walked in. Even better than the photos portray. The cottage has a quaint seaside cabin feel and was literally steps from the sand and water. It is on a quiet street and has a very local, relaxed vibe. We only saw a few people during the day and it was very laid back. An absolute dream! It was clean, well stocked for cooking on their propane grill on the deck, and we felt right at home. The view is just beautiful. The property managers were friendly and helpful through text. I had concerns about the temperature in the July heat, but it was perfectly comfortable in the AC during the day (what little time we spent indoors) and with the windows open at night, could hear the gentle waves of the Long Island Sound with a nice breeze. We visited a nearby vineyard, stopped at a Lavender Farm, and spent the days relaxing on the beach which is just steps from the cottage. Well equipped with kayaks which were fun to use, beach chairs, and beach umbrella. The flies on the beach are easily deterred with bug spray, so be sure to bring some. The Wifi was fast and we spent our one rainy evening enjoying Netflix on their tv. Since it is on the Sound, the beach is has large pebbles, so bring your water shoes. Our senior dog loved walking freely on the beach in the mornings and we're so grateful they are dog friendly. We were able to build a small fire on the beach near the water (just check with the property managers for directives) so stop for firewood at a gas station before you get there. We couldn't believe that we were only 1.5 hours from our Brooklyn apartment and can't wait to return to this beach oasis!
