Waterfront 4 bed/4 bath Peaceful Oasis in Giants Neck Beach Community

Very accommodating host. Great communication. The private beach was only a 3-4 minute drive so making a few pick up/drop off trips using one pass was easy. Lounge areas were abundant. Enough bathrooms for everyone.

Thank you for being a pet friendly rental property! We especially enjoyed kayaks as well as the balconies for watching the ospreys in their nest!! It was also great to have access to the private beach in the area. My family enjoyed the bikes in the garage and the quiet streets for riding the bikes. Osprey Cove provided a wonderful opportunity for our family to get together!

Our stay was excellent. We were 5 adults and one 5 year old celebrating four June birthdays, 2 fathers for father's day and one retirement. The house was ideal for its beautiful location, 1 minute walk to a trailhead, decks overlooking forest and water,endless birds, close proximity to beach. There was plenty of space for small and larger groupings, comfortable furniture and an inviting tone. The basement is a secret grotto for children, youth or families that want to have fun with 2 single beds, a couch for movie watching, a door to the backyard with a picnic table and lounge chairs. We hung two pinatas, had grilled dinner outside and always enjoyed the views. Two wild turkeys came to visit. Our host was immediately accessible to answer questions and to be supportive for our stay.

We have been renting with VRBO for the past ten years. This is without a doubt the nicest property we've stayed in. From the outside looking in, this beautiful three-story beach home is strategically landscaped so that guests don't see their neighbors--other than the beautiful osprey pair nesting on the far side of the salt marsh out back. We were left with multiple sets of binoculars to view them, as well as a grill and sitting area on the side patio for cooking, kayaks to explore the marsh, and more.The inside was immaculate and went on forever. Each of the updated bathrooms was spotless and each of the bedrooms had its own smart TV. Although listed as four bedrooms, there was ample room with couches and cots to easily sleep more. There were also smart TVs in almost every room. The owners were responsive the few times we reached out with questions. In addition, they left us with a useful guide with tips about the area. Centrally located, some "must see" places of note include Gillette Castle, the Essex Steam Train and Riverboat tour up the CT river, Block Island with ferries leaving daily, Mystic, Old Mystic Seaport and aquarium, Saybrook, Old Saybrook, Chester, Clinton, Foxwoods, Mohegan Sun, Deep River, and the list goes on and on. Also, if you like hitting up local antique shoppes, we didn't have to drive too far to find several group collectives with lots of very cool souvenirs to be had.We won't hesitate to come back to Osprey Cove in years to come..
