About this house rental

This is a 2-bedroom, 1-bath ranch perfect for your summer getaway. The house is on a very quiet cul-de-sac, yet only minutes from Rt 1 in Guilford, the fabulous Town Green, shopping, movies and of course.... THE BEACH! The town marina has a boat launch if you have the luxury of bringing a boat on vacation with you. Lots of great shops, restaurants, summer fairs and concerts too! The house has a kitchen, living room, dining room, family room with television, 1 queen size bedroom and 1 bedroom with two twin beds.
There is a screen enclosed front porch. There is a large deck overlooking the backyard and the West River. There is also a patio table and umbrella and Weber gas grill.

Although the house is a ranch, the family room is on a lower level (3-4 steps down).

Make sure you bring your binoculars to view the large variety of summer birds out on the marsh, including bald eagles, red-tail hawks and herons.
Lots of great clamming areas including Trolley Road, Chaffinch Island, Grass Island and Shell Beach.

We stayed from 7/31 until 8/6. The home is exactly as described and pictured. It has wonderful views of a river and marsh where we watched deer, ducks, herons and other wildlife. The home is very close to many attractions and restaurants in Guilford including the beautiful town dock area and Jacobs beach. As we periodically visit the area, we will be using this home again as it suited all our needs. We contacted the owner Janet twice with two questions and she very quickly answered them. A+

We had the pleasure of staying at this cottage for a little over 2 weeks. The view of the meadow and the wildlife was a pleasure to wake up to everyday. I am a bird enthusiast and the variety of breeds were truly impressive from egrets, herons, red wing black birds, osprey, and the usual songbirds. We also saw woodchucks and rabbits. We cooked a lot and hosted a couple family dinners. The kitchen is very well stocked with an excelent grill, equipment, spices, and a few basic food supplies. The main bedroom had a very comfortable bed while the twins are a bit firm. There is more than enough linens and towels for our family of 4. The proximity to all things Guilford was perfect as we have dozens of family in the area and our favorite shops and restaurants ie. Bishops Orchard, Big Y, The Place, Ashley"s ice cream, Guilford Green shops and restaurants, Guilford Free Library are all within 5-10 minutes. We would definitely consider renting this cottage again.

We loved staying at this house. It was my wife and I, and her 14-year-old daughter. The owners are the best, and they are very accommodating. The house has everything you need, and the views are relaxing after a day running around or at work. This place is very close to the 95 freeway, and the downtown area has plenty of shops and restaurants. We will stay there again for sure.

Charming, comfortable house in a gorgeous setting. We especially enjoyed the dining room, deck, and backyard views of the marsh - perfect for bird (or bobcat!) watching - and leisurely walks to the Guilford Green and nearby restaurants. We also appreciated the well-appointed kitchen and spice rack. The neighborhood is lovely and quiet, yet only a short hop to Routes 1 and 77 and I-95.

We were very happy with the cottage. It had a nice layout and was a good location for us, as we explored the CT River towns. You can walk to the Guilford Green from the cottage. We enjoyed the peaceful backyard view and sounds of birds. Would definitely recommend it.

Salt Marsh cottage in Guilford
Salt Marsh cottage in Guilford
This quaint cottage was exactly as advertised. I enjoyed the space, the comfort and the location. I particularly enjoyed the neighbors who were quick to say hello and chat. The location gives easy access to the Shoreline communities and New Haven. A short drive or pleasant walk takes you to the historic Guilford Green. And I loved sitting out back overlooking the salt marsh with. Long Island Sound in the distance.

Second Stay

This was our second stay at this property and we enjoyed it just as much as the first visit and stand by our initial review ("Great property for a working vacation in Guilford"). Whereas our first stay was during the summer, this second visit was over the winter holidays, and we found the house to be cozy in the cold weather and particularly enjoyed waking up to a snow-covered marsh. We will continue to look to stay at this property when we find ourselves called to the Guilford area.

A peaceful place to stay!

We so enjoyed staying here while visiting family for Thanksgiving celebrations. The neighborhood was quiet and we loved having the school playground nearby to visit with our little ones. The views of the marsh were beautiful, especially at sunrise. So many birds to watch including birds of prey. Janet was fantastic and we can’t wait to stay again in the future. Our pup is part of the family and it’s such a treasure to find a property that is dog friendly! Thank you!
