Despite the very nice neighborhood and proximity to the water, the house had some unpleasant and unsanitary issues the week my family stayed there.
When we arrived on Sunday, the outdoor trash was completely full and not due for pickup until Friday. The kitchen trash had attracted a swarm of fruit flies, as did the kitchen sink. The dishwasher was full of dirty dishes. The fridge water dispenser had some kind of leak we had to clean up.
The third floor bathroom leaked water on the floor from a broken seal. The owner sent a plumber that required 2 visits and over 3 hours time to repair toilet.
The second night my grandson saw a mouse run into the kitchen closet which we had to deal with.
The next morning an offensive sewer smell started in the kitchen and soon permeated the premises. By late afternoon septic service was sent to pump out the septic system.
Ants were present in the living room and had to be cleaned up.
The cumulative effect of mouse, flies, ants, leaking toilet, smelly gas was truly unhygienic and nasty.
It should also be noted, as others have, the house has safety issues for young children,as stairs are steep. The stairs outside leading to the water has no guardrail or gate before a steep drop.

It was lovely falling asleep to sound of waves every night. The house was comfortable and clean. The owners, Carolyn and Jon, were responsive and helpful. We had a great week.

Beautiful house! Views from all three levels are really amazing. The patio outside has great lounge furniture and huge umbrella for shade. Kitchen was well equipped. Great full size grill outside. Everything we needed for a great vacation. We never left! Thanks Carolyn and Bob.

My family and I had a wonderful week at this beautiful Westbrook beach house. The ocean comes right up to the house; it’s like you’re on a cruise. All you can see is water from all 3 levels.
Job and Carolyn were great and responsive hosts.
We would absolutely consider renting again!

This property was a fantastic shore getaway for my family. Wonderful location, could walk to grab a morning latte or a short drive just about anywhere. Low tide (and the few hours surrounding it) were perfect for playing on the beachfront and in the water. Great views from every level. My 2.5 yo and 4 yo had an amazing time. House was kid friendly. Kitchen had great amenities (and the best knives I’ve ever had in a rental!)
Neighbors were friendly. Just a great vibe to the area.
Wonderful, easy communication with the hosts with prompt responses.
Wouldn’t change a thing!

Our stay at this property was generally wonderful. The neighborhood is quiet and very walkable and there are grocery stores and restaurants within just a few miles. And Mystic CT and Essex CT (you have to stroll the Main Street shops in Essex) are a short car ride away. The star of the house is the view from the family room, back patio, 2nd floor bedroom, and the 3rd floor bedroom deck. So gorgeous. There was a glitch when we arrived and the owners were super nice and responsive. We worked things out very quickly. Just a few things to keep in mind. The bedroom on the second floor is spacious, has a full wall of windows showcasing the water and spectacular sunrises and sunsets, but its floors are warped/slanted. You cannot see it but you can feel it walking around the bedroom. The main bedroom on the top level is cozy and the outdoor deck off the bedroom is fantastic for watching birds on the water or just looking at the waves, but the third-floor bathroom is tiny. It works for one person, but it is tight. Lastly, as some other reviewers have noted, the home is right on a small beach but the tide makes the beach unusable for most of the day. So, if you are planning to walk the beach, you’ll have a short window to do so. But - in warm weather, you can still sit on the back patio facing the water and chill out even if the tide is too high to be on the beach. In summary, we had a very relaxing time!

My family and I stayed in this beautiful home for 3 nights for my Birthday. The home was exactly as shown
. The view was spectacular!! The home was cozy and elegant.. it had everything we needed for the weekend - off the deck and you had your toes in the sand or in the water depending on the tide.
I will have great memories of this weekend!❤️

The beach house has immaculate beachfront views, clean, appropriately furnished and the host is very easy to work with and communicate. The neighborhood is quiet and very safe. It is also accessible to shops and stores that you might need during your stay. Overall this is a gem of a find for us and we will certainly be back to rebook another stay.

This beautiful house was our home for New Years 2024. It was an amazing stay. The kitchen is a large space with an eating counter along with a dining table—room for everyone! The living room has a wall of windows—the true star of this home—the view. The bedrooms are comfortable—the master is large with another wall of windows. Opening your eyes to the sunrise over the water gave the impression you were in a boat cabin in the ocean. Our guests were treated to the same view on the third floor with private balcony. The sunrise is breathtaking—but the sunsets steal the show. The owners were responsive and helpful. We will definitely return.

This house was perfect. Plenty of room in the kitchen for all of us to cook. Living room sat 6 comfortably to talk & watch TV. Beds & bath comfortable. The location was perfect. Every week we went to a different theatre & rode the train n2 NYC for a show & dinner. The ONLY drawback 4our 72yo knees was the stairs 2the bedrooms but you really dont find any houses up here that dont have bedrooms upstairs! We loved the house & hopefully will return!

It says a lot about a house if we come back for a second year in a row! It was even better this time! Fabulous view and outside space. All the comforts of home.

We stayed at this property Aug 2023, 6 adults (3generations). It was a great location with the water so close it splashes up on the deck at high tide. Looking out if feels like you’re on a ship! The main space was super comfortable and easy.
Location is quiet but also we were there a little at the end of the season.
The owner was good to warn us about the stairs… there are a lot! Once you are up to the 3rd floor the upper deck is worth the trip up the stairs.
Kitchen was pretty well stocked with basics…lots of great seafood around…

We were 3 gen and we all enjoyed every minute - including the beautiful water views from all 3 floors, kayaking/fishing, swimming, walking the beach and to Salt Island. We found everything we needed for a great time.

If you want ocean views and the beautiful sounds of the crashing waves this is the place for you! It was such a gorgeous place for our family to enjoy while attending a wedding at a resort less than a mile up the road. We will be coming back for sure.

We really enjoyed our stay.
The owners were quick to respond to questions prior to booking.
Check-in process was nice and easy.
We found the house clean and ready for our stay. The house looked newly renovated and has everything one needs. The kitchen is spacious, and has all the necessities. They had a new Weber grill outside. We were the first people to use it.
The outdoor patio is as shown in the pictures.
During low tide, you can walk out on the sand. During high tide, the water comes up to the patio stairs.
WiFi coverage was good throughout the house. TVs have Roku devices attached to them for everyone's entertainment.
The location is convenient to get to different attractions.

This home is as close to the Long Island Sound as you can be, with unbeatable views. Though not as luxurious as some properties on the CT shore, the house has a good layout, is family friendly, and we had a very good experience with the host.

We had a great time staying at this home! The views alone make it worthwhile—truly unbelievable. The house was well-stocked with clean linen and towels, the beds were comfortable and the hosts were responsive!

My family and I stayed here over Christmas. It was our first year with everyone with their own families and figuring out in laws etc. my younger brother came down from RI. We all said this home made us feel like we were right at home, we were worried about it feeling “hotely” over Christmas but it was so warm and welcoming. This was during a bad storm and the homeowner went above and beyond to communicate with me and make it work. We would for sure book this again! We are already talking about a summer trip.

Amazing location with spectacular view. Three generations had a wonderful time. Plenty of sleeping space and good sized living room and kitchen. Weather was unseasonably warm so even got to enjoy the decks and beach more than anticipated. Great place!

Owner was very pleasant when I spoke with him. Overall, the stay was enjoyable, but too bad that the amenities and overall quality of the build-out of the home were "B-", whereas the listing led me to believe they'd be an "A", which would require significant improvements.The home did not seem prepped for guests - the dryer was full of linens, and the ripped coverings were still on the outdoor furniture. The home had not been well cleaned - floor under beds and sofas had lots of dirt/dust/sand. The statement in the listing that the home was recently updated is quite misleading as many of the fixtures and amenities - cutlery, coffee maker, etc. - are quite old and in need of replacement. Electric blinds do not open properly (one side sags), and there is black mold above the shower head in master bedroom. Lack of outdoor dining table limits ability to fully enjoy the beach-facing deck.

Wonderful house (though stairs could be an issue for folks with physical limits). We’ll equipped with amenities and the view couldn’t be better. Hosts were very responsive - even made a trip to bring us a cable for a DVD player and hooked it up for us. The neighbors were very friendly, but it was a surprise to have the visitors from the houses on either side so very close - might be an issue for anyone looking for privacy (and the barking dogs might bother some). Other than that, a great place to stay.

This little jewel box is tucked in a row of charming oceanfront homes in a well-established neighborhood. The house is renovated with all the comforts of home and has an absolutely unbeatable view - morning, noon and night. Jon and Carolyn were outstanding hosts - immediately responsive to any question or issue that may have come up. We'll be back!

Location was beautiful. The most amazing low tide with beautiful sand bars and an island to walk out to. The 3rd floor accommodations were a bit smaller than what we anticipated from the pictures and was not as functional for our older family as we would have liked. The 1st floor and 2nd floor were beautiful.

We had a wonderful time enjoying the house and beach. At low tide walking to the island was amazing. Our grandchildren loved it! The owners kept in touch with us to make sure everything was going good! The neighbors were friendly. In all a very great time! The house had everything we needed .

Our family of four (me, my husband, kids 21 and 16) enjoyed our week at this lovely beach house. Everything was just as the photos if not better. Plenty of room for all. You could even comfortably have a set of grandparents too. The ocean waves literally lap the stairs of the back deck. You can’t get closer than that! The 3rd floor deck with fire pit was relaxing. Everything you need is here, boogey boards, beach chairs and even corn hole! For rainy days, they have Trivial Pursuit, Scrabble and 1000 piece puzzle. In the area, for fun, you could go to Mystic Aquarium or make a spa appointment at Waters Edge up the road. Also daily music there too. Overall a wonderful week. Our hosts Jon and Carolyn were amazing,, very good about communicating before, during and after our week. I highly recommend this house!!

Summer Fun
We just returned from a much needed vacation at the beach. Our family truly enjoyed all that this lovely beach house has to offer: comfortable beds, lovely kitchen with all the necessities, and the beach!! What can I say? Right outside your door is the most glorious view with beautiful, clean water and a nifty sand bar to explore at low tide. My 3 year old grandson loved going on beach walks, finding treasures, making sand castles and going kayaking. Thank you for a perfect family vacation!!
