Spacious but cold
It was a very nice property with wildlife so regular we joked about them being paid actors, in a nice walkable neighborhood. If it had been a bit warmer inside, it would have been perfect (we visited early February, but not during a blizzard)! Hosts were fairly prompt when contacted, and very gracious.

Perfect Rental for our Short Term Needs
The host is super responsive from the initial booking inquiry right through to check out. Responded to all contact within2 hours max. Home is really clean, very and functional and has several luxury features (master bath!). Great natural light from the many skylights. We stayed in winter and I bet the property is even more spectacular in warmer months with the pond, fountain and hot tub out back. Neighborhood is serene, yet you are no more than 5 minutes from great shopping, restaurants, public transportation to NYC. Will say the property has a few quirks like layout, but nothing that detracts from your stay. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful very private spot but very close to stores, restaurants, beaches and our family
This was our first stay here. We used to live in conn where we raised our kids but moved away 7 years ago. Decided to come back to be closer to our family and new grandchild! House is mid century modern . Clean and had everything we needed for a perfect stay! We had two great family gatherings and the deck was perfect for this! Love the pond with wildlife and fountain you can turn on with Alexa! Our dog Murphy was in heaven ! Master bath was wonderful with Hested floors and fabulous shower. We plan to return next summer!

Slice of Heaven!
We had a longish stay- between the sale of our Westport home and closing of our Weston home. Everything was easy and we found the property to be just what we expected and wanted. Without a doubt our favorite hangouts were the deck ( our dog loved immensely as well), the awesome living room expansive couch, , the mater bedroom and shower— that’s a lot of favorites!!! It was incredibly easy contacting the owners And their responses were fast and friendly I’d come back and would recommend this hideaway!.
