Oceanfront Couples Retreat - Pvt Beach + Firepit

Oceanfront Couples Retreat - Pvt Beach + Firepit

8/10 Good
"Such a great little beach find! The house is private and tucked away on a dead-end street, with a huge water facing backyard and an absolutely enormous stretch of beachfront right outside the door. The raised ranch is nicely renovated, has two comfortable bedrooms, and the kitchen and appliances had everything I needed for a beach stay. If only I could find the blender lid…. LolThe beachfront access is really the star here. You have so much space to spread out and enjoy the water without feeling crowded. In the mornings, quietly go outside. You’ll see dear and foxOur only adventure was the kitchen bar window, which doesn’t quite close all the way. Apparently the local insect population received word that a new guest had arrived and took that as a personal invitation to join me. Flies, bees, ladybugs, you name it, they stopped by to welcome me to East Haven. I became a highly skilled member of the household pest-control division by checkout. A small fix to that window would make a huge difference.Overall, it’s a private, spacious, beautifully located beach house with fantastic water access. I really enjoyed my stay and would absolutely recommend it! I absolutely would return 懶"

"We booked last minute to see family, we got there and the home was beautiful. We loved that it was near the airport and got to see the planes land and take off. It was super clean with a homey feel. We had a great time and will be booking here again. The host was very responsive and was super nice through out the stay. Were excited to come back again! Highly recommend this home!"

"The property was beautiful and very clean. The pictures don’t do it justice. The manager was easy to reach when we had a question and the house was full of cooking and dining items which came in handy. The ocean view from the balcony and sunroom was a highlight. We had a wonderful trip and would definitely recommend."
