If you long for a quiet down time retreat, a place to replenish and rejuvenate from a hectic life, this is your haven. The quaint lane with lovely neighbors is family- and couple-friendly, and a place for friends to reconnect.

This bright, charming, retro Connecticut shore cottage has an open-plan on the first floor. The kitchen has everything you could want, whether cooking for a family or just microwaving snacks. Basic cooking utensils and dishware are stocked.

The downstairsmaster bedroom has a queen-size bed, dressers and a quiet corner with a desk in case you have to squeeze in some work hours on your getaway. The couch in the living room pulls out to a memory foam queen bed.

Upstairs is a lovely, large bedroom with 2 twin beds and lots of floor space (two air mattresses are provided for extra guests) and a sitting area filled with books and games for a quiet day.

The stunning feature of this cottage is the beach. A 5 minute stroll down a grassy path leads to a quintessential New England beach with jetties, kite-flying, fishing, shorebirds, shells, sun and surf. The beach is bordered on both ends by state parks (Seaside and Harkness). Beach chairs, towels and umbrellas are provided.

Because of the quiet, residential nature of the neighborhood, we can't allow any events or parties to occur during your stay.

Nearby activities include: Mystic Aquarium and Seaport, the Eugene O’Neill Theater, Harkness State Park, Coast Guard Academy, Waterford Speedbowl, Skatepark, golf, Mystic Ghost and paranormal tours, lighthouse tours, multiple parks, breweries, museums, casinos, excellent seafood restaurants, boat cruises, and ferries to Block Island, Orient Point and other locations.
A little over an hours drive gets you to Newport and Providence, RI.

The cottage is handicapped accessible (ramp entrance). Master bedroom and bath are on the main floor. Bathroom doorway is too narrow for wheelchair entry.

    Great location, very convenient to nearby towns, parks and beaches. Just a short walk to the beach. Reminded me of the cottages that once were all over Cape Cod. It is an older cottage that is well maintained. It is located on a very quiet private street. Has the things you need for a comfortable stay including a kitchen with the things you need for a vacation meal away from home. If you are planning a stay in the Waterford area then I would recommend it. My family of 4 was very comfortable during our stay.

    With a little TLC this could be a really cute cottage! Paint the kitchen cabins to brighten it up…some new area rugs and a new chair is all it would need. Great location…private beach!

    This house was perfect for our group of 3 adults. Beautiful beach, friendly neighbors, convenient to Niantic, New London and Mystic. The kitchen had all of the cookware we needed and beach supplies- chairs, towels, umbrella, binoculars were thoughtfully supplied. We also appreciated the family history of the house.

    Beautiful older cottage with modern amenities. Family friendly, if you are looking for a quiet contemplative vacation away from noise and excitement. Exactly what was needed.

    Very relaxing and quiet.....very nice cottage ....really enjoyed the little touches like granola bars and nuts on table .....just an enjoyable stay. With my lung cancer and my friends not being there to help me pack up and leave I did the best I could with picking up. Couldn't get lockbox to open so put key under doormat.

    House was clean, neat and tidy. Close walking distance to private beach was great for our little ones. Neighbors are all very friendly and helpful. Hoping to stay again some time!
