About this house rental
Welcome to our beautifully updated home, in a peaceful beach neighborhood. Sweet Spot Getaway is a newly renovated charmer, nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac, in a neighborhood with private beach access. Take a 5 minute stroll to the beach, or drive 6 minutes to the town beach. Our home features 3 spacious bedrooms, with the main bedroom on the first floor, 2.5 updated bathrooms, a garage, and a large, open family room. There is a chef's kitchen with all the necessary amenities and new appliances. Grill and chill outside on our covered and uncovered patios, or relax in our central air conditioned, open family room. There is beautiful wood flooring and central A/C controlled by Nest thermostats throughout the entire house.
Sweet Spot Getaway is easy to get to, as it is about a 5 minute drive off the highway, and accessible to the Westbrook Shoreline East train station for access into NYC. It is the perfect location to work from home and be inspired with creativity as you relax on the quiet private neighborhood beach. Our fast Wi-Fi speeds make remote working easy.

Our large chef's kitchen is modern and stocked with everything you need to cook for your family. We know how challenging it can be travelling with small children. Our Sweet Spot Getaway will give you the space you need for napping, meals, relaxing time, playing games in the backyard, and being able to cook in the kitchen or BBQ on the outdoor propane grill.
There is plenty of space to spread out, with 2 bedrooms upstairs, and a large main bedroom with en-suite bathroom, downstairs. The main bedroom has plenty of room for a portable crib (not provided) for those travelling with infants. Our home has ample space for a family reunion, or a change of scenery to spend the holidays with your friends and family. It is also perfect for a solo trip or a romantic getaway.

Together with our cousins we had such a lovely weekend stay. The house is beautiful, clean, and exactly as described. It is a short walk to the beach, and the kids enjoyed riding their bikes there. We drove to the bigger town beach one of the days which was also beautiful. Our favorite part was to hang on the covered patio at night time after dinner. Thank you for offering your home to us! Highly recommended.

We had a really nice stay at this house! It was very clean, beautifully updated with an open floor plan and in a quiet neighborhood. The communication before, during and after our stay with the owner / property manager was excellent. The amenities that were provided made it easy to not have to pack so much extra stuff (eg beach chairs, sheets, towels, shampoo/conditioner, etc). The only downside to the stay was while the beach was an easy, short walk, it was not accessible during high tide and during low tide was very small with no room to spread out. We ended up going to the town beach instead which was nice and pretty empty (8 minutes away; non-resident daily rate was $40 a day). If we end up back in Westbrook would definitely consider this property again!

The only reason I didn't give all 5 stars was because we're from FL and CT beaches just don't compare to our soft sand, no rock beaches. My poor feet aren't used to the rocks and shells. The neighborhood was very nice! The house was very clean.

We loved our time at the house. Kevin was a great host and was very responsive if we had any questions. The location to the beach is perfect, especially with smaller children. The house was extremely clean and a great layout for two families to stay together. I would highly recommend!

This is our first time staying at a house for a vacation and we had the best experience! This house is the best vacation home ever! Not only is it immaculate, but the entire set up was like a page out of Better Homes and Gardens magazine! I loved how it came with all of the amenities of a lived in home, plus more! I loved that I was able to find all of the utensils and dishes and all kitchen necessities for our needs during our stay. And then the beautiful private beach thats 5 minutes walk from the house! My husband and I took a stroll to that beach to catch the sunrise that you can witness coming up from the left side. It was so beautiful and serene! Thank you so much for this wonderful experience!

The house was immaculately clean. Great outdoor space and walk to the water was 5min or less. We had a great time as a family here and loved the open floor plan on the first floor. Friendly neighbors too!

Marji and Kevin's home in Westbrook is beautiful, with a spacious open floor plan and comfortable beds in each of the three bedrooms. We all loved the back patio and ate almost of our meals outside, surrounded by purple hydrangeas. The house is well located. We went to several nearby beaches, including the one in walking distance to the house, went on the Essex RR and Steamboat, and visited the Niantic Children's Museum and the Mystic Aquarium, all nearby. We had a wonderful vacation and would love to stay at Marji and Kevin's house again.
4.0 / 5.0
Lovely home. Great locale. We were surprised by the long list of rules & work expected of us. We already know to leave any place as we found it or better. However, we were asked to wash towels & linens, take garbage cans to the curb, monitor the sprinkler times. I understand,
but it's a bit much to be totally relaxing.

A well organized and well-designed house with everything a family needs including a shaded outdoor eating space. Everything was exceptionally clean and the spacious kitchen island allowed room for food prep and play. The neighborhood is charming and exceptionally quiet.

My husband and I were in town for a wedding. We brought along the grandparents to help with our infant and 2 older kids. Everyone had a great time. Beach is a short walk. The house had everything we needed, some things we forgot and more! Quiet little neighborhood, and everyone we met was kind. Again, great place for a family to stay.

Beautiful, pristine home which was perfect for our family during our daughter’s wedding weekend at the Waters Edge. Owner was very nice and responded very quickly to my questions. The only issue was the neighbors are in close proximity and seem to watching us the whole time.
5.0 / 5.0
The house speaks quality! The kitchen allows for all to partake in cooking or gathering around and the meals prepared can be eaten together at the large dining room table or bistro table indoors or outdoors at the table in the shade or at the one in the sun! Sunbathing could happen at the private beach only a short walk away or in the private backyard on perfectly green grass!
Kevin was super friendly and met every one of our needs in a prompt and kind manner, while also granting us the privacy hopes for!
Many thanks for a splendid experience, Kevin! We highly recommend this vacation home.

We booked this for a graduation at Yale after our earlier reservation was canceled without notice by VRBO. The house is in a safe neighborhood walkable to the beach. The accommodation was nicely furnished for cooking and was very clean. The washer and dryer were a nice plus.

Our group of friends have been going on a girls getaway for over 20 years. This was one of the nicest homes we stayed in. The home was even nicer than the pictures show. It was so clean, had everything we needed and was in a great location. We enjoyed the outside area for breakfast in the morning and wine and snacks later in the day. Although we didn’t get to go to the beach, it had chairs, boogie boards and plenty of beach towels. The beds were so comfortable and plenty of shampoo, soaps, paper products and a nicely stocked kitchen. We would definitely go back and would highly recommend this home if you are in the area. It was a definite five star accommodation!

What an AMAZING home to stay in❤️. We so enjoyed all of the hosts efforts to make everything easy to use with great instructions, beautiful decor and comfort, and all the little extra things left for guests. It is so well thought out with so much care in mind. Just walking in the front door you know right away what a well kept and loved property this is.
The island is so gorgeous and just perfect for groups visiting.
My husband and I enjoyed the 1st floor master so much! We both just turned 70 and loved the ease and accessibility to the kitchen and main floor. We loved the quiet neighborhood and charming well loved homes.
Everyone kept commenting on all the thoughtful considerations done for the guests. We have rented many VRBO properties over the years and this has been the best one so far in terms of fabulous mattresses/bedding, cleanliness, comfort, and especially starter items. We found the soap/shampoo dispensers in the bathrooms the coolest touch! The bedside USB ports were loved and appreciated by all! A number of people in our group are hoping to rent from you in the future 🙂
Your yard and backyard seating was the bomb! We wish we were staying longer but … we will be back!
Many thanks! Anne and Tom L

We really loved staying in this home. The layout was great, the set-up is modern, and it's a beautiful space! They provided everything we needed. The patio and outdoor shower was also great. We loved going to the private beach. Would recommend bringing water shoes as it's very rocky. We loved having breakfast outdoors at the Turtle Cafe!

We loved our stay. The space was gorgeous and the hosts thought of small details (coffee, snacks, beach towels, etc) that made this stay incredible.
5.0 / 5.0
The house and yard are very nice, plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 children under 5. There was no lack of anything we needed for meals, clean-up, laundry, beach-going, etc. Access to the beach is easy, a short walk, but the beach and water are both pretty rocky with limited space (no walks, throwing a ball/frisbee, etc.) or spreading out a blanket. Beach chairs are a good substitute.

Marji and Kevin went above and beyond to make their home accessible and friendly. Their personal touches made it feel like we were in our own home away from home. We were able to have to best time and make incredible memories. Our favorite parts were how clean and well stocked the house was, the short walk to the little beach, and the location of the house in general. We hope to come again!

Everything was wonderful. The hosts were easy to work with and quick to respond to any questions. The house was so clean and was absolutely beautiful. The outside patio was perfect for hanging out after a day at the beach. Quick short walk to the small beach which was never crowded. The garage access and the beach wagon definitely came in handy. Definitely a wonderful place to stay! Beds were comfortable and welcome supplies were greatly appreciated. Close to many great restaurants and stores!

Great accomodations
House was beautiful. We had my son‘s rehearsal dinner for his wedding and the kitchen and patio were perfect for hosting the bridal party.
The house is beautifully decorated and has all the amenities you could possibly want. It’s a short walk to the beach although the beach is a little rocky it was nice and private and peaceful. We had some trouble with the lock and the hosts were very accommodating even though we had to call them late at night they got us in promptly and they even gave us a small refund to compensate us for our inconvenience I would highly recommend these hosts And this property.
