Dreamy Beachfront Cottage with NYC views

We loved the location of the house and our stay! So much to do without even leaving the house. My kids loved fishing in the canal and swimming on the beach which were just steps away. What a great location, we would come back!

We had a great stay due to the home’s perfect location - quiet, beachfront, with easy access to area hot spots - and so many visible fireworks displays across the water, we lost track. The patio is perfect for enjoying meals outside and a few steps stroll across the street you’re on the beach making s’mores for dessert. The house could be amazing with more TLC. We weren’t surprised by this as it is what the pictures show. However the unexpected for me, was what I’ll call the one dimensional hospitality. What you see in pictures is your experience. As you read reviews for other properties you see throughout reference to “the little things” that really set a rental apart. There is none of that here. What you see in the picture is literally what you get. For instance, upon arriving we had to search the home to find towels. There were none in the bathrooms. Also, there is only one beach towel so it’s apparently BYO when it comes to beach towels. This isn’t mentioned in the listing so we were unprepared. Did towels ruin our vacation? Of course not. But if you’re looking for “the little things” - you won’t find that here but you can still create an idyllic 4th of July weekend.

Hidden gem of a location along coast of CT, even family that lives close by had no idea. The mix of the beach in front of house and river in the back really made it feel like a destination getaway. Having dinner on the back patio along the river after kids went to bed was a nice treat each night and during day kids spent hours floating around in the ocean. House felt spacious and we were able to spread out across the 4 bedrooms.

This is our second time staying here and won’t be our last. Great house right on the beach. The front of the house is a private beach with a fire pit. The back of the house is on a canal that is used as a lazy River. We have so much fun staying here. Perfect for a family vacation.
