The beach at the end of the lane has beautiful views. When I stayed there in December it was way too cold to spend time there, but in the summer it looks like it’d be an ideal spot to take a dip and soak up some sun. Highly recommended. ##### Michael M.

The beach wagon was awesome! Short 5 minute walk to the beach with a couple other beaches around the corner. We loved walking out to the sandbars during low tide.

This little cottage is on a quiet lane with the ocean at the end of the lane. The house had all we needed. The back yard has a place to sit and soak up the sunshine, and would be great with little kids. As it is fenced in. Thank you ! ##### suzanne s.

The cottage was perfect for the three of us, spacious, clean and accessible to restaurants, shopping and sightseeing. The backyard was perfect for the doggie to run and get exercise after a long car ride. The only disappointment was the beach, it is many steps to the beach and very small and the dog was not allowed. I would stay again if I wasn’t planning on going to the beach. ##### Kathy W. Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stevi L.

My husband and I visited for the weekend for our anniversary and it was such an amazing weekend. BONUS
perfect for our two pups too!! The house is on a quiet street (no barking dogs to stir them up) and they have the perfect fenced in yard so the dogs can run around freely. The house is so close to so many things (downtown is like 4 minutes away). We ate dinner at Liv’s and saw a show at The Kate, both amazing! The beach unfortunately isn’t dog friendly but when it’s low tide you can walk out with the dogs on the sand bars (I would recommend some floaties and water shoes, one point it was pretty deep and the sand is squishy and shelly). We had a great weekend! ##### Stevi L. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashley A.

Short walk to a small beach, great little backyard that was very helpful and allowed us to sit outside with our dogs off the leash. I'm always weary about someone else's backyard, but it was safe and clean. The house itself was very clean and had everything we could have needed. We really enjoyed the area. Great grocery store nearby and neat little downtown area that we visited for a quick breakfast. It does technically have a pull out couch and futon, but may be suitable for small kids or teens vs adults (it would be a little tight with 6 adults in the house). The neighborhood felt very safe and had a very friendly vibe. The house was very clean, you can tell the cleaning team took care in making sure everything was sanitized and clean for us. ##### Ashley A.

We loved the cottage, it was cute, cozy & clean. YouTube video is exactly how it is, if anything we thought it was bigger than pics. We ended up using the sleeper sofa and brought a queen size air mattress which fit perfectly in the bedroom. Neighborhood was nice and quiet. A perfect walking neighborhood. Lots of shopping, restaurants & grocery stores nearby. The only con we had was the beach at the end of the road was very very small and not water you would want to swim in. If just wanna sit at beach it would be fine. We ended up driving to Soundview in Old Lyme everyday which was a very short drive away. Maybe 10-15min. (Which we didn’t mind doing). I definitely would recommend this place for others and will keep this listing for future renting despite the beach at the end of the road. ##### Marie A.

Place was filthy. At least 10 photos were sent to the owner who showed up to remedy the problems and suggested a deep clean which was done. Deep clean should be done after each stay esp if pets are involved. Cleaning supplies were almost none existent. Was scolded via email for requesting trash can liners and bathroom spray. Owners stated they provide only 1 weeks worth of dry supplies. Should not have to buy or bring cleaning supplies to a rental. Left on day 14 as family members began to have allergy/ respiratory issues and did not return. I'm sure lessons were learned re: this rental for all parties involved. Cottage was advertised as newly renovated. I see that the write up was changed to read new furnishings and re painted. ##### Elaine G.
