The property is an older cottage, but exactly what we were expecting. I stayed with my sister and 90-year old father, and we enjoyed the beach and several local restaurants. The kitchen was well equipped, and the house was neat and clean. The only issue we had was that the weather was quite hot, and the air conditioner in the house struggled to keep the bedrooms cool. Aside from that, our stay was great.

All went well and enjoyed our stay . Husband had back surgery x 2 in past year. The areas of raised flooring in house were a concern /trip hazard.
Neighbors very friendly, nice community đź‘Ť

The cottage was the perfect spot for my nephew’s wedding in Westbrook, and some beach time in-between. Coral Sands beach was really great and a short walk. Dave was very responsive and answered our questions quickly. We would stay again if ever down that way.

Just as advertised, quaint cottage with open floorplan, beachy decor and short walk to shore. Communication was fast thru the VRBO app. The deck umbrella needed repair and owner was quick to respond and replace. Having a full kitchen, charcoal grill, washer and dryer and 3 bedrooms so close to shore (0.1m) makes this property a hidden gem! Three window fans and 2 oscillating fans allowed for plenty of air circulation while we vacationed last week of Aug. As Elks members we frequented the lodge close-by for lunch and dinner, as well as Bill’s Seafood, Lobster Landing and Shanks. I hope the owners rent it out next year as we cannot wait to come back!

We had a great weekend with the beach a stone throw away!! Our 10 year old daughter and 13 year old son had there own little rooms in this quaint beach house. We were able to walk to most places and had less than a 2 mile drive to anything that was a little too far to walk to. Donna and David are great hosts, the beach is great, and the neighborhood is friendly. We had a well needed wonderful weekend.

Nice, clean, modest beach house as described. Very close to beach. Beach was perfect for kids. Calm water, clean beach. Enjoyed our stay!

We knew there wouldn't be air conditioning and misjudged how hot that meant the cottage would be at night even with fans blowing. The sink, toilet, and shower were all dated and could use an update to make the place nicer. How about a spare roll of toilet paper? And no spare tissue box or paper towel. These little details matter. The cottage was clean and well apportioned. Not a great choice for the middle of summer given the lack of A/C. Knowing guests would use the fans, could the fans have been cleaned up? They were full of dust and looked like they haven't been used for years. Location was great and the neighborhood was quiet. Compared to the other high-end hotels in the area, this was a good deal. Communication with the owners was easy and fast.

Steps from a lovely beach. Room enough for the 3 of us. No AC in July made it very hot. There are fans provided.

The day we were suppose to check in the owner calls to tell us that he has to reimburse our money and cancel our reservation due to electrical issue. He was so rude and did not care how inconvenient it was to cancel at the last minute. Also he said guess left a note there was an electrical issue at 11am. We were suppose to check in at 3pm. Cleaning practice states there is a 24 hour vacancy between guess. Thats a lie and inconsiderate. When voicing my concerns he hung up the phone in my face. So unprofessional, unpleasant and disrespectful!!!!!!

This rustic cottage has all the amenities you need to just show up and enjoy your stay.
We were close to shopping for our teens, seafood dining and steps away from west beach for strolling in the sand and watching the sunset.
We relaxed on the decks - one with a brisk salt air breeze and a back deck that was a bit more sheltered from the breezes.

The minute we walked in we were at home . The casual beach theme, clean and extremely comfortable beds and linens were the magic touch for sure. We would go back hands down . No fuss no problems just a real nice experience . Why would anyone ever want to stay in a stuffy hotel when they could spread out and really relax while on vacation or just attending a family function like us .Thanks well done Donna and David ! Mary Ann happy customer !

Location location location! Perfect for a beach vacation!
Our family loved the close vicinity to the beach. 2 beaches are within a couple minute walk (one private/one public). We also spent part of a day at Hammonasset State park which was a fun adventure and great place to swim! Towels and a few beach chairs are provided at the cabin. The neighbors are friendly. The cabin is warm (no AC) but there are a lot of fans available for use so it cools down at night. The cabin is funky and inviting. It felt like we were staying at Nana’s beach house…if only our Nana was cool enough to have a beach house!!

RIGHT next to the beach!
I have stayed here with my family before. We knew what to expect as far as amenities and layout of the house. It's right next to the beach and has a deck. Those are the highlights for sure!
FYI this house gets hot! There are window fans supplied, but I usually bring my own box window fan when we stay here. It seems to work better at pulling in the cool air at night. If you prefer a super cold house with AC, this is not for you.
What we didn't expect this year was the hurricane. Our stay was shortened due to the hurricane and mandatory evacuations. This was my first time dealing with the owners and they are WONDERFUL. They were communicative and flexible with our stay. I was so grateful to have salvaged half of our stay because it's our last year to all get together for a while because my brother is just about to have a baby.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! :)

Shabby Chic Beach Cottage
This shabby chic beach cottage was “blast from the past” adorable! Great location across the street from the beach. Clean and quiet. A sweet little getaway! Owners were gracious and nice to deal with when we had to cut our stay short due to a potential hurricane.

Absolutely Amazing
I was absolutely overwhelmed how amazing the cottage is! You can see the ocean from the front porch and the marsh/inlet from the back! Salty Ocean breezes keep the cottage cool and give constant reminders of how close you are to the water! You literally walk across the street to the private beach! The cottage is very quaint with all amenities and lovely beach decor! Very clean and owners are very helpful and accommodating ! We will be back for sure!!! Thank you so much!!!!

Location, location, location
If you are looking for a beachy beAch experience, this is the place for you! The cottage has a wonderful wrap around deck allowing all to sit in the sun, view the water or have a meal on the fresh air. Both the public and private beach are basically at the end of street one house away! Low tide exposes sand bars allowing all to walk out to the small islands!!!

Cute, Cozy and Perfect Little Cottage
Small, but perfect for our family This cottage was a stone's throw away from 2 beaches. We loved Coral Sands Beach as it was never crowded. We loved walking around on Seaside Avenue and taking in the sea salt in the air. Although the cottage is a bit outdated, we did not mind as we spent little time indoors and only returned to sleep and relax after long days of fishing or at the beach. The owners are very responsive and accommodating. They responded to inquiries within hours. They placed directions and notes everywhere around the cottage and made it very easy to transition into this dwelling for the short term we stayed. Plenty of things to do in Westbrook and neighboring Old Saybrook. We have stayed near the shore before and knew exactly what to do for leisure. We will definetly stay again and hope to make it a annual summer staycation getaway! Thank you Dave and Donna!

Connecticut Cottage
Cute little place. Conveniently located on the CT shoreline. A little stuffy without any A/C. Has all the amenities you need for a week stay along the coast. Short walk to the beach (or drive the two blocks and park for free w/ your renter credentials). Close to Mystic, Groton and only a half hour drive to RI.

Beach House
The house was small, cozy, and very cute. Donna and her husband were very kind in letting me rent for a limited period of time. They were also kind when I messed up the checkout time!

Excellent Access to the Beach
We come up every year to visit family/friends and stay at a different cottage each time. This property was the best as far as beach access..basically, a walk across the street to a nice town beach. There is also a private beach to access but we never did. Cottage was airy and got nice breezes. I enjoyed the decks; sat on back deck in morning to avoid the direct sun and switched to side/front decks in the afternoon for the same reason. The washer/dryer was a godsend! The parking was a little disappointing: it was off street but really only room for one car. (The owners do leave suggestions for parking if you have visitors, however). The neighbors across the street were friendly and pleasant! The location was convenient to a grocery store, Dunkin' Donuts and my favorite seafood place, Lenny & Joe's Fish Tale. There are many other restaurants and stores in the area as well. All in all, it was a wonderful and enjoyable stay!
