The Thimble Islands is a magical place. On Cut-in-Two East, you have the whole island to yourself and you can really get away. There is a wonderful gazebo for sunsets. There's a great little beach for swimming. The water is fantastic. Enjoy!

Beautiful property with a really cool history! Loved the water toys and little beach!

From the minute we arrived, we were amazed at the amenities! Take a short ferry ride ($6 each way) and kick back on a private island. With no need for cars or bikes, the kayaks and paddle boards provided exercise and fun (there were plenty available for everyone). The kitchen and bathrooms were updated and virtually spotless. The beds were comfortable. We slept with the windows open and a few fans on during the hottest week of the summer. Caught a ton of fish right off the dock and rocks. Ate some porgies and a weakfish. Delicious. The kids had fun at low tide on the "beach" of sand. They made sand castles and a makeshift aquarium for hermit crabs, jellies and minnows. Drinking a cup of coffee in the morning, watching the ospreys dive for fish was better than taking blood pressure meds. The sunrises and sunsets were epic. Two storms blew through, which were fascinating to watch and experience. Saw a double rainbow and the Starlink satellites right over the island. Partied with some of the locals when they tied up their boats in the marina in front of the house. Easy travel to New Haven for a slice of pizza. Also made a trip to Essex to our favorite tavern in the Griswold Inn. So much history in the house and the Thimbles. The info packet and souvenirs were a great touch. Would definitely come back!

From the moment the Ferry picked us up to viewing the house and property ~ we were in paradise! The house & guest house are spotless and are stocked with absolutely everything you need plus more! The view is breathtaking from any direction on the wrap around porch! The island is amazing with beautiful flowers popping up daily between the enormous rocks. The teenagers swam, and used the kayaks daily. The Owner is thoughtful and responsive. It was the best family vacation we ever had! An plan on returning!

Not only was the property spectacular the host Gerard was tremendous. The property was even better than expected. Our guests enjoyed the unique opportunity to be on an island, enjoying the views and the history of Cut in Two Island. The island is just far enough from shore to be secluded and easy to get our guests on and off as the Thimble Islands has a boat taxi that is readily available. I also have a small boat to get items back a forth. As far as value, it can't be beat, especially for those that can drive to the Island area. No planes, no car rental expense. Simple easy and the opportunity for us to have various guests on different days made it great for so many to be part of it. We will be back that is for sure!

This was one of the best times we have had , so relaxing and fun for the kids. All of our friends and family enjoyed the stay and we already booked for next year . Gerard was a pleasure to work with. Thank you again

This was literally our favorite vacation by far!!! Everything was perfect!! Our host Gerard was literally everything we could have asked for! We were the first guests to enjoy new sand that was put in for a little beach and it was perfect!! Great place to be with paddle boards and for my daughter to play around in the water! You have mad us life long customers! We will be back! Thank you!!!

This was our second summer vacationing at Cut in Two East. Another 5 star week! Gerard and his team made some amazing improvements. The house is perfect for a casual, relaxing much needed getaway. This is a unique vacation everyone should experience. Gerard is incredibly attentive and responsive. Thank you so much for having us again! Cut in Two East is a gem!
