Jul 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 5 Stars – A Wonderful Stay in Old Saybrook Our stay in Old Saybrook was absolutely perfect! The house was spacious, beautifully decorated, and spotlessly clean. We loved the cozy coastal vibe, and the amenities were above and beyond—everything from the kitchen supplies to the comfy beds was thoughtfully provided. (Laundry too!)The location was ideal: peaceful and quiet, yet just a short drive to the beach, the town center, and local favorites like Pasta Vita. We especially appreciated the scenic surroundings and the quick access to everything we wanted to do.The host was kind and responsive, making the entire experience smooth and welcoming. We’re already talking about coming back. Highly recommend this spot if you're visiting the Connecticut shoreline! ##### Benjamin C. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marissa P. Jul 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect stay! A perfect stay - John and his family were truly wonderful. The house is attached to thier main house, but also very private and secure. We were in town for a wedding weekend and this was the perfect spot for us - truly a beatuiful property! John was helpful in telling us about all of the local spot and supplying us with everything we needed. His wife even welcomed us with a cheese board and wine! Thanks John and family - we had a great time! ##### Marissa P.
