Our charming 2 bedroom cottage with it's wrap around front porch has a warmth that is bright, comfortable and inviting. The wood and tile floors offer a clean and open feel.

One of the bedrooms has a window seat with views of the river, it is a great room to take in the natural light and read or just sit and relax.
The location is great and our home with it's charm and comfort is a must see.

Great cottage!
This is a wonderful 2 bedroom cottage in a lovely town . Close to everything! We were there early December so there were lots of beautiful sights. Just note the stairs to bedrooms were tricky.Joel, the owner was super responsive and worked hard to accommodate us when we had extra needs!

Cute bungalow
We stayed for a short visit and had everything that we needed. It’s a cute old house with a very comfy bed and living room. The kitchen had whatever we needed and there were various ways to heat the house. The hosts were very sweet. The bedrooms are upstairs and if you have any mobility issues- this may not be the place for you. We would stay again!

Nice small house
Good place in a nice area, good beach, nice owners with minimal pots and pans for cooking on a surprisingly busy (in August) and noisy street given the low speed limit and stop sign. We're full time travelers

Great cottage by the best little beach
Loved my stay at this cottage! Plenty of space, probably too much space for just me :) Wonderful little touches such as fresh filtered water, bottle of wine etc. Super convenient to the best little beach, which was what I was looking for. Definitely on a busy street though. That would be the only potential down side.

Lovely Home
What else can I say about this home it is absolutely beautiful They are sure to have it fully equipped they thought of everything toilet paper to coffee to wine they are the perfect hosts. I brought my dog and they have a nice little patio out in the yard he was able to run around there a little bit and do his thing. Across the street there is the beach and a trail and lighthouse Park is only a few minutes away and that was very nice as well. They are a lovely couple that on the home we are extremely grateful to both of them we had a wonderful weekend my family was delighted the beds were comfortable the couch was comfortable and the house was completely clean so thank you so much for a lovely weekend

Quirky cottage
The cottage was sweet and clean. The stairs are very steep and the street noisy. The bathroom door sticks and is noisy when it Is opened from the inside. Only one small cookie sheet. No real baking supplies like pie pans and rolling pin for example. No guest parking which was a bit of a problem at first for family who wanted to visit with us. Owner lives next door and was responsive to our questions.

It was the perfect little house in a beautiful area.
The location was a perfect home base for all of the sights we planned on visiting. Joel was a wonderful host and responsive to all our needs. Our only regret was the weather kept us from enjoying the front porch which would have been a great place for morning coffee. The property is very charming.

Just right for us!
This was the cutest little cottage! Just right for my wife and I and our two dogs. The inside was very charming and it was stocked with everything we needed. We especially loved the location as it was close to everything and convenient for our family we visited close by. We liked that it had a small fenced yard out back for the dogs and there was also a fenced dog park nearby. The hosts were very accommodating and answered any questions we had. We would definitely stay here on our next trip to the area. Thank you again for a wonderful stay!

Very nice property within walking distance to beach!
This was a very convenient area and cute area of CT. The wrap around gated porch was particularly accommodating for our dogs! Cottage was very clean and a very comfortable mattress on 4 poster bed. New A/C was great during a heat wave, also has stackable W/D. Joel and his wife were very helpful and take great pride in renting their cottage to others.

Charming little house
We booked this cottage/small house as an alternative to the much more expensive New Haven hotel options in mid-October. It worked out great! fifteen minutes from downtown New Haven, full kitchen, nice porch, cozy living room/sitting area. Nice!
