Great house with nice open layout in the living room, dining room kitchen area which made hanging out with our big group of 8 people very enjoyable. Well appointed kitchen, everything you need for the beach (chairs, towels), etc. Amazing views of the coastal area and the ocean. Communication with the host was very easy. Nice area to explore and enjoy. We had a wonderful time and will be back for sure!

Family beach week
This was a return visit to this property that is just a short walk from Jacob’s Beach and park. This beach is great for children as it is protected from large waves and is shallow for a good distance out from the shore. The house has lots of toys for the children and plenty of room for everyone.

Fabulous family getaway location
We spent six nights in this home with our adult children, their spouses, and our six year old granddaughters. We were all quite happy to have stayed here. It was spacious enough to gather for meals and games, both inside and on the deck, even when two more family members visited during the day. The basement and yard provided places to play when the kids weren’t at the beach or playground. Everything we wanted was an easy walk or drive. Sunrise, sunset and water views were the icing on the cake. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay in this lovely home again.

This is a well equipped home for a family stay. The lower level has lots of toys for children and some games for teens and adults. There was plenty of equipment for the beach and water fun. The beach and playground is a 5 minute walk. Many restaurants are a short drive away.

Beautiful views overlooking Long Island Sound
Judy was a responsive host who met us at the house when we arrived. This beautiful house had water views from all three sides of the wrap around deck. The house was located right across the street from the beach and in walking distance from a couple of local favorite restaurants in the nearby harbor. We had a well needed quiet and relaxing weekend with friends in this gorgeous, tranquil area.

Our Family Gathering
We all loved the setting and layout of this wonderful house. The kitchen is amazing! Our meals were easy to make together. Lots of space to gather together for a surprise Baby Shower. A great playroom for the little ones. The bedrooms were so comfortable and plentiful. The highlight for the little ones was the jacuzzi!! We want to come back to this lovely place.

Superb rental!
I wish I could have given this property more than five stars! It’s a gorgeous home, private, conveniently located with amazing views! Surrounded by water. The home is immaculate, well equipped. The jacuzzi and MBR shower were luxurious. The beds are comfortable and the basement “rec room” was a bonus. My family and friends and I felt very blessed to stay here for 2+ weeks. Also of note….the property owner, Judy, is very responsive and helpful. Perfect vacation experience!

A Family Wedding
Our family group of 6 stayed here for our sons wedding at Guildford Yacht club. The location could not have been better, the views are spectacular, the house is away from any traffic and is a bird watchers paradise. We had some relatives with children visit and Jacobs Beach is a 2 min walk away with play equipment and a splash pool as well as a lovely swimming beach. In addition, there is a ping pong table and lawn games available. The deck was perfect for a morning cup of tea or an evening glass of wine. Pa's place and the Lobster Pound are an easy 5 min walk away for local seafood. It's a 20 minute walk into town which is delightful. Judy was very responsive to our needs, her house is comfortably decorated as seen from the photos, with beautiful carpets and antiques. The kitchen has everything and more than you will need for excellent cooking including a wonderful cast iron griddle on the stove. And if it rains there are tons of boardgames to keep you busy. Bathrooms are well stocked with towels and all updated. Master bath has an amazing view over the water - as does the master bedroom. The fourth bedroom is on the first floor and has one twin bed and one trundle which was fine for the groom the night before his wedding and has it's own full bathroom opposite. Wifi worked great. Washing machine, iron and plenty of closet space! This house will always have special memories for our family - it's a beautiful home. Thank you Judy Andrea and Neal Brody

Perfect family home
The setting of this home is amazing. A beautiful view of the water from all sides of this home. Lovely 3 sided deck with numerous places to relax. Our family throughly enjoyed this well kept home and the host was so accommodating. As we were attending our grandson’s graduation from Yale, it was a short drive to Guilford. We would highly recommend this home.

Excellent weekend stay
My family and I stayed at this property for two nights for a family reunion. It was perfect for our needs. The property manager was extremely attentive and ensured the house was in great shape. The property was close to guilford and has wonderful views of the Long Island Sound. A huge bonus was the game room and our two boys (age 4 and 2) loved it. If ever back in the area, we’d definitely stay again.

Beautiful relaxing seaside retreat
The house matches the pictures online - beautiful views through the picture windows, decorated with antiques, and spacious, quiet bedrooms. The house is located on a quiet cul de sac between a public beach and another public park with beach frontage so plenty of spots to go for walks. We were there in early April for my mom’s birthday and even though it was cold, we enjoyed walking in the area, looking for birds and collecting shells. Guilford is a very cute historic area as well. Our host was easy to communicate with and we had a great time.
