A really lovely “shabby chic”cottage styled for easy summer living.
I stayed two nights to gain easy access to the beach without going far from my home nearby.
Fun idea!
The bed was comfortable, the bathroom is very nice, The living area is pretty with a great table and four chairs. Tv is well set up.
The Kitchen is ok, no ice machine, so be prepared.
My only critique would be to have that one cupboard filled with a nicer assortment of dishes and especially glassware instead of looking like it was collected from someone’s leftovers.
The host, Jeff, is 100% attentive when needed!

our stay was for personal reasons as we are born and raised in CT and have family here. We had beautiful weather, we were two minutes from the beach, and centrally located to 95 and the Merritt parkway. Everything was very close, especially the little village of Southport with Sammy's pizza and the little bakery Sono. Overall the stay was great and the cottage was wonderful. it me all our needs. Thanks to Jeff for being such a great host.

Just as described! Spacious 1 bedroom with large kitchen. Location is great! I was there for business and the weather was snowy, so no trip to the beach. But it's right across the street

Wonderful!
It was as great as other reviewers said. The pictures did not do it justice. The apartment is bright and spacious. The kitchen well stocked. Only one block from a beautiful beach. Jeff our host was responsive when I texted him and very respectful of our privacy. Definitely will rent again from him and through VRBO.

Southport getaway .
Jeff’s home is in an ideal location. The carriage house apartment is set back from the road making it a quiet and peaceful location. The size of the apartment was spacious for my husband and I. A perfect alternative to a hotel.
We did not travel with a pet, but this is a pet friendly home. I mention this as we have family members with serious allergies and this would be a consideration for any hypoallergenic travelers.
Jeff was quick in responding to questions and despite apartments proximity to homeowners dwelling completely private.

Charming Southport guesthouse
Beautiful guesthouse with lots of sunlight and lovely views. Fully stocked kitchen which we didn't use. Our rescue mutt enjoyed the beach as well. Would definitely stay again.

Comfortable convenient hotel alternative
We selected this guest house as a spacious, dog-friendly alternative to a hotel for our recent trip to Westport to visit friends. The property is clean and well-equipped in a perfect location for dog walking, Southport beach and quick drives into Southport and Westport. The property manager is highly responsive and delivered a great experience, just as described in the listing. We will look forward to a return visit.

Peaceful and great location!
Was a nice little getaway for our family of 3 + dog. Our four year old son loved the convenience of the beach across the street. The neighborhood was super nice quiet and serene. Owner is on-site and responsive, helpful and accommodating but also provided complete privacy. Overall, Super cute and great location!

Home away from home
My husband and I are from the area but chose to stay separate from our families due to the pandemic. This apartment was the perfect fit for our needs. It had just the right amount of room for the two of us and our small dog. It also had a good layout between kitchen, living room, and bedroom that provided some needed separation since we were both working remotely during our stay.

Jeff was a great host, and the apartment was larger than it seemed in the pictures, which was a pleasant surprise. Great location for long walks with the dog and convenient located near i95. Highly recommend.

Great Spot!
My husband and I were attending a wedding in Westport and decided to stay in this property for the weekend. Everything was perfect - - the location, the accommodating owners, the comfortable and clean apartment. Would highly recommend as an alternative to a hotel for anyone spending a weekend in the area.

Hidden Gem in Southport
Jeff’s place provided a perfect getaway for me and my daughter. The space and property has a relaxing, minimalist European feel. The moment we drove down the long pebble driveway, we felt transported to the South of France or a Tuscan villa. With a charming little beach a short walk from the apartment, great local dining, and a well appointed kitchen-it has everything a traveler needs. I’m already thinking about when I can return for a longer visit next time!
