About this house rental
Come visit beautiful, family-friendly Hawks Nest Beach, where you will find a fresh & clean, charming Beach Bungalow that is sure to please! Located on the most popular dead-end street at the beach with a partial ocean view, our 1940s bungalow-style cottage is full of Hawks Nest Beach history and has been transformed into a beachy oasis. The location cannot be beat, as you are close to tennis courts, ice cream, the candy store, crabbing on the jetty, and more...the beach is within walking distance. The Beach Bungalow is only a hop, skip, and a jump away from the famous Old Lyme Carousel and ice cream shop, not to mention close to Mystic, Foxwoods & Mohegan Casinos.
Please note before you book that you must bring your own linens, towels, pillows, and toiletries. Most of the Beach properties at Hawks Nest do not provide these. This allows us to keep our prices very reasonable, so close to the ocean.
Step into a bright, open, and airy space! There is a dining table that sits 6 comfortably. The kitchen area offers everything you will need for dining and cooking while staying with us and comes complete with a coffee maker and microwave.

Our home will comfortably sleep 4-5 guests, offering 3 bedrooms. Two of the vaulted ceiling bedrooms each have a queen-size bed, and the third bedroom has child-size twin bunk beds. Bedrooms are decorated with beautiful, vintage-inspired coastal furnishings that will provide a very restful stay. The cottage has 1 full bathroom with a full-size tub and an outdoor shower.
Last but certainly not least, chill out on our screened-in front porch with comfortable seating, dining area, evening string lights, partial ocean views, and cool breezes. When you come in from the sun & sand, rinse off in our hot/cold outdoor shower! There is parking available for 2 vehicles and Wi-Fi.
At the end of your stay, we have a small tidy-up checklist, but after checkout, we have a cleaning service come in to clean. Sorry, but we do not allow smoking of any kind in our home or on the premises. Please note that we do have motion-detected security cameras on the property. One on the front porch that observes the front entrance, one in the parking area, and one at the back entrance.

Awesome stay and perfect location for our off season weekend exploring Mystic aquarium and Essex steam trains. Hosts were very easy to reach and helpful. Across from beach, but you can’t actually access until you get to public beach .5 miles away, which was fine but unexpected. Also a couple amenities weren’t perfect, but totally would not affect my decision to rent here again. Very clean and updated! Loved it!

A beautiful little beach cottage that was just what the doctor ordered. A great place to unwind and take in the sea air.

My family and I had an ideal stay at Kristine's beachside cottage. Highlights include a short walk to the beach, a well stocked kitchen, easy and efficient temperature controls and my kids especially loved the bunk beds! It was perfectly cozy and comfy for a family of four. We stayed here in April, but I can only imagine how lovely the screened in porch and back deck would feel during warmer months. 5 stars!

Cute home….however I would not have rented it had I known I had to bring my own sheets and towels. Not something I want to do when staying in a home for one night on my way to Maine. You should put that out there for people to see before selecting this home.
