1930s Waterfront Cottage on Tuttle's Point

This is a classic old school New England beach cottage - clean, lovely, comfortable! Unfortunately we were only staying for one night but the property manager was able to accommodate our needs. That lovely screen porch was the perfect place to relax and reconnect with family and to greet the sunrise the next morning! Great location near some old favorite Guilford spots - The Place, Ashley's Ice Cream and Bishop's Orchard. Thank you!

All around nice old fashioned Summer vacation neighborhood.

We had a fantastic week. The house is perfect, the view magical, and it was so nice to be able to walk to the little beach down the road. A perfect spot! Thank you!

If you love old houses, you'll enjoy your stay here. The cottage has a vintage, quirky vibe--definitely not a Martha Stewart space! The best aspect was the porch overlooking the cove--a perfect place to read, visit and share meals. Even though there are homes very close to the cottage on each side, it was quiet and peaceful. The bathrooms were immaculate and the beds were very comfortable. I failed to notice that the cottage did not have air conditioning and we stayed during a heat wave, so it was quite uncomfortable some days. The upstairs likely got up to over 100 degrees during the day (it literally felt like an oven), but the whole house fans worked wonders and the upstairs was tolerable by the evening. The location of the cottage is ideal. You can quickly get to Hammonasset State Park (where there is a nice beach), the grocery store, coffee houses, restaurants, shops and independent book stores. I also had lovely walks around the neighborhood. Communication with the owner was great before our stay, but she did not respond quickly to two concerns we had during our stay; in one case it took over 24 hours for her to respond. To be fair, she had just lost her property manager, but I would have appreciated a more timely response to my concerns.

Tuttles Point is a hidden gem of a neighborhood. I spent my summers as a child in this neighborhood, and I wanted to share my love for this area with my family. This cottage was perfect for what we needed. The view is beautiful and there is so much character in the home that you forget that you might be missing some of our modern comforts. My children loved the rocks out back, the beaches and all the activities in close proximity to this home. If you’re looking for a place to disconnect m, this is your place.while you’re here, be sure to visit “The Place” for dinner; it’s a one of a kind experience and fun for the whole family. We’ll be back!

We loved our time at Little White Top. The house is super clean and has large bedrooms and a really well-stocked kitchen. The big screened porch overlooking the water was a perfect place to play games, eat and just hang out. On calm days we enjoyed kayaking off the beach just down the road. We hope to stay here again!

This is the beach house of my childhood. I love how rustic it is. I love how well stocked it is. I love the porch. I love swimming off the rocks in the front yard. We will be back!!!!!!

The house is charming and no frills from a by-gone era, which we loved. Lovely, quiet neighborhood, well-equipped kitchen. We suffered a bit during the evenings when temperatures did not drop or there was no breeze coming off the coast. Unfortunately, with rising temperatures and humidity, sleeping at night could be quite uncomfortable when only fans are an option.

This cottage was a winner! Luckily we had good weather on our side. Lots of fans and light. Felt like going back in time to a slower pace. So peaceful. Loved the sunsets/rises from the porch! Beach access was terrific.
