Adorable Cottage
This house is perfectly adorable! Its coastal decor makes you instantly happy when you walk in. We only stayed one night since we were just in town to visit our Coast Guard Academy Cadet, but wished we could stay longer. We said we’d be back next fall! Our only complaints were that we could not get the gas fireplace started or the TV in the family room to work. More importantly, though, the bed and mattress in the back bedroom were very uncomfortable. The bed was very squeaky and the mattress was shot and needs to be replaced. The soft topper is not correcting the problem. The bed would be an easy fix to make the cottage truly delightful.

A partial ocean view from the front porch, and private partial wooded feel in the back. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Adorable Cottage!
We stayed at this adorable beach cottage for four nights and enjoyed day trips to the Mystic Seaport Museum and the Mystic Aquarium. Kristine has an excellent eye for design and decor. It’s decorated beautifully and it’s very functional for a family of four. Nice neighbors and lovely neighborhood to walk around too. Highly recommend!

Loved the ”old fashioned” cottage feel… small and cozy but felt roomy! The knotty pine was charming! Reminded me of cottages from the past!

Nice, but….
Cute home….however I would not have rented it had I known I had to bring my own sheets and towels. Not something I want to do when staying in a home for one night on my way to Maine. You should put that out there for people to see before selecting this home.

This beach house is very close to the ocean, so close you can hear the waves. The house was clean and had a very beach feel to it. Wish we had more time to stay. Would defiantly recommend staying here.
