Do you love an outdoor shower? Visit this charming 1930's summer cottage with direct water access, large screened porch with wonderful 180 degree views of Long Island Sound. Little White Top is unpretentious and comfortable, designed to allow for carefree and peaceful holidays. The long and airy screened porch overlooking the water is the hub of the home, where everyone wants to gather to read and converse, sharing breakfast, lunch, or cocktails. And it's a wonderful place to watch a thunderstorm! The cottage comfortably sleeps 6 people, with 2 bedrooms on the first floor with queen beds, and 3 bedrooms on the second floor, one with a queen bed, one with a double bed, and the third with a double bed and 2 twin beds. There is ample parking on the property for 4 cars. Moor your own boat in the waters off the shore. Easy launching of kayaks and canoes can be done directly from the property and from the beach just down and around the corner. Kids can choose to paddle around the protected waters off Tuttles Point or go out to the various rock islands and explore the tide pools there. More adventurous adults can embark on longer paddles to Faulkner's Island Island Light or to Sachem's Head or the Thimble Islands. Enjoy picnics on the front lawn, with ample space for children to play. Sun yourselves and take a dip at the water's edge or take the little ones 600 feet down the hill to the sandy Association Beach. The Cottage also offers a pass for visiting Guilford' Jacob's Beach. The protected waters off Tuttles Point offer swimming, fishing, and kayaking and their protected nature is especially good for children. At all tides, ospreys, herons, gulls, and other shorebirds seek out these waters and the rich marshlands nearby. You may notice in the listing there is no TV! Little White Top is the kind of place where you can step aside from your usual routine, listen to one another and the coastal sounds. You are in a different place and there is a strong tradition of Monopoly and Scrabble here! Tuttles Point is a quiet, low-key residential neighborhood in a private association with its own beach, in the historic town of Guilford. Guilford Town Center offers interesting shopping and fine dining, Shakespeare on the Green in August, as well as craft and antique shows. A Pick-Your-Own farm/orchard is an 8 minute drive from the Cottage. Collect some berries and bake a pie in the simple but well appointed kitchen! Biking and hiking trails are easily accessible, as well as the local Whitfield House Museum. The Peabody Natural History Museum and the British Art Museum at Yale University are a 1/2 hour drive to be enjoyed along with Frank Pepe's Pizza in New Haven, considered to be the very best! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Wheelchair-accessible parking available ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundromat nearby ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 2 accessible parking spaces - 2 steps to reach entrance - Handrails in stairways - Hardwood flooring in public areas - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping mall - Near the bay - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Comprehensive recycling policy - Garden - Unit size: 2,700 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/63000000/62990000/62980600/62980514/e04d2628.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### New Madison beach house - Ocean front- Great views- booking Summer 2025 Madison - Ocean view - Pool - Kitchen - Washer 10 Exceptional 67 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-02&endDate=2025-11-03&selected=62980514&PinnedHotelID=62980514&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby, sun loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27130000/27128600/27128565/864cae7c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Steps to beach!

We all really enjoyed the great screened porch and location. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and we all loved the colorful fiesta dishes! Unfortunately the week we visited was pretty hot so it got quite warm in the upstairs but the fans cooled it off somewhat at night. In addition to the beach down the road we spent a lot of time in the yard and swimming off the rocks. We had a nice relaxing week! ##### Debbie S.

Lovely, quiet neighborhood, well-equipped kitchen. We suffered a bit during the evenings when temperatures did not drop or there was no breeze coming off the coast. Unfortunately, with rising temperatures and humidity, sleeping at night could be quite uncomfortable when only fans are an option. ##### Marion D.

I spent my summers as a child in this neighborhood, and I wanted to share my love for this area with my family. This cottage was perfect for what we needed. The view is beautiful and there is so much character in the home that you forget that you might be missing some of our modern comforts. My children loved the rocks out back, the beaches and all the activities in close proximity to this home. If you’re looking for a place to disconnect m, this is your place.while you’re here, be sure to visit “The Place” for dinner; it’s a one of a kind experience and fun for the whole family.

This cottage was the perfect setting for reconnecting - and unplugging! We had more than enough room for 7 adult guests. There were plenty of bed linens . The kitchen was well appointed. And various design elements (fiesta dishwater, for example) gave the sense of being transported back in time. The setting is perfect for anyone who loves the shoreline. It is rocky. And that brought back happy childhood memories- we used to scamper from rock to rock. We were more deliberate in choosing our steps now. There is a sandy beach very close by. The owner went above and beyond - very welcoming and helpful. Thanks for sharing your home with us! ##### Lauren A. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wendy A.

Aug 31, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Summer Getaway We had a great stay at this cottage. Escaping from NYC with a couple of friends and their teen daughter, the screened in porch and view were highlights of this property. We had numerous bar-b-ques, enjoyed relaxing on the porch and going to the nearby local beach to swim and kayak (a local service rented us kayaks and delivered them). The beach that is nearest does not have a sandy bottom, so if you aren't used to lake swimming I would definitely recommend water shoes. (This California girl still isn't used to the rocky and sometimes slimy floor in LI Sound). But there are also other beaches within a short drive. Just before our arrival there was a power outage in CT from a strong storm, our host was extremely accommodating, keeping us up to date on the status so that we could arrive once the power was back on. We did arrive during a heatwave, and it was quite hot without the AC, but there were plenty of fans and once the weather broke a little it was absolutely lovely with the breeze coming through. I would highly recommend for a relaxing vacation and spending fun time with family or friends. ##### Christine F. Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah F. Aug 25, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous old timey beach house This is a beautiful old beach house, with a rocky shore which the healthy and buff can swim off. It is not small child safe. It has a great screen porch, where we spent most of our time and was wonderful for watching a mega thunderstorm. Kitchen is new and modern, bathrooms are idiosyncratic, but work (there is a septic system) The shower is under the deck and you have to go outside to get to it, but it is lavish and modern. Wifi was fast and broad. No A/C. The beaches are muddy bottomed, and the best one is private and not included with this house. Fabulous sunrises from the screen porch! ##### Sarah F. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matt O. Jul 8, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great family week! We had a family reunion and had to change dates a few times and Christina was super flexible and helpful. The house itself was the perfect amounts of peaceful, rustic, and accessible. We watched the fireworks from Madison and Guilford for the 4th of July and completely enjoyed watching our 3, 5, and 6 year olds enjoy the shoreline summer experience. Christina’s instructions and directions were super clear and the house was as advertised. Do note that getting to the shower is a 10 step walk around the outside of house but is perfectly modern and private. Also, upstairs during a hot, muggy day gets somewhat uncomfortable. But neither of those issues turned out to bother us at all as we enjoyed being outside on nice days and loved the fresh air off the Long Island Sound at night. Will for sure come again! Thanks! ##### Matt O. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Terry H. Aug 9, 2018 #### A lovely spot with a beautiful view but... This house is beautifully situated but the house itself is poorly equipped and the bathrooms and shower are not adequate. When there was wind and rain, despite closing the windows the upstairs beds got wet. When the weather was hot the upstairs bedrooms were extremely uncomfortable. The beds were not satisfactory. The screened-in porch is lovely (despite getting soaked during the rainy episode) but the next-door- neighbor's air-conditioning was on all day and night and was terribly noisy. ##### Terry H. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa L., Long Branch, NJ Aug 8, 2018 #### Great place to Relax and Unwind! Traveled with my parents who are older and they absolutely LOVED the huge screened in porch with an awesome view of the sound. We sat out there every morning then swam off of the rocks during the day. The community beach is a couple of houses down the street. Guilford is great that it is quiet and peaceful but just minutes from everything that you need/attactions. Homeowners were great. It is a rustic cottage but comfortable. There is no AC though, but for the most part, the fans were sufficient in the evening. ##### Lisa L. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathleen S. Jul 23, 2018 #### perfect! Perfect house to enjoy family and get away from it all. Beautiful house that has kept the original integrity of the house while giving you some modern conveniences, I have nothing negative to say and in fact look forward to staying again sometime in the near future ! ##### Kathleen S. Stayed 9 nights in Jul 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Blair L. Jul 10, 2018 #### Beautiful Sea View We loved the porch and sea views!! Vintage beach cotrage with lovely furnishings and full kitchen. We had a summer heat wave and upstairs got very hot but main floor was nice with sea breeze and fans. Upstairs cooled off at night and after heat wave. Great retreat for my family!! ##### Blair L.

It is my idea of what a beach cottage should be: rustic, comfortable, cozy and inviting. As soon as I walk in the door I can feel myself relax. Evening dinners on the screened porch enjoying the beautiful water view are special. The kitchen is wonderfully stocked with all the dishes and implements you will need to entertain family and friends. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Silver Reef Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Silver-Reef-Casino-Resort.h16231932.Hotel-Information) > > [Shooting Star Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Thief-River-Falls-Hotels-Shooting-Star-Casino-Hotel.h28874246.Hotel-Information) > > [Canad Inns Destination Center Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Canad-Inns-Destination-Center-Grand-Forks.h1713856.Hotel-Information) > > [C'mon Inn Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Cmon-Inn-Hotel-Suites.h1510580.Hotel-Information) > > [The Fox Tower at Foxwoods](https://www.expedia.ca/Mashantucket-Hotels-The-Fox-Tower-At-Foxwoods.h1765323.Hotel-Information) > > [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Shadow Ridge I-The Villages](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Shadow-Ridge.h853695.Hotel-Information) > > [Semiahmoo Resort Golf & Spa, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Semiahmoo-Resort-Golf-Spa.h13986.Hotel-Information) > > [Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Bavarian-Inn-Of-Frankenmuth.h9809515.Hotel-Information) > > [Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Salamanca-Hotels-Seneca-Allegany-Resort-Casino.h2238839.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Southington by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hartford-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Southington.h3929.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Sandusky OH](https://www.expedia.ca/Sandusky-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Sandusky-OH.h1183594.Hotel-Information) > > [Darien Lake Lodge on the Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Corfu-Hotels-Darien-Lake-Lodge-On-The-Lake.h13279584.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Kings’ Land Waikoloa](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Kings-Land-By-Hilton-Grand-Vacations.h2303745.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information) > > [Mohegan Sun](https://www.expedia.ca/Montville-Hotels-Mohegan-Sun.h894248.Hotel-Information) > > [The Trail in Adams - Berkshires’ Art Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Adams-Hotels-Topia-Inn-An-Organic-Oasis.h12259511.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah’s Laughlin - A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Laughlin-Hotels-Harrahs-Laughlin-Hotel-Casino.h43310.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Hilton-Waikoloa-Village.h19640.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [Mayflower Inn & Spa, Auberge Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Torrington-Hotels-Mayflower-Inn-Spa.h170742.Hotel-Information)
