Charming Old Lyme Cottage, Steps to Private Beach!

Very clean

Great little cottage. Had enough room for us (4 people) for a few days. We had a great time at the beach which was not too far of a walk for us. We enjoyed the house and the area. Great trip!

The owner is very nice, however the cottage was incomplete as there is still particle board showing in the closets, pipes exposed in the bathroom, and outlets that were not closed. Once this place has some tender Love and care and by that I mean fixing up then it will be more of a comfortable stay. You can’t beat the walk to the beach! The beach was beautiful and we really enjoyed our time there.

This cottage was just what we needed. We have a Internet free few days which was awesome. They had a deck of cards in the house and our 18 year old taught the 8 year old how to play solitaire. The cottage was in walking distance from the beach. Nothing to complain about.

We were really hoping for a cozy getaway, but this cottage was a huge disappointment. While the owner was kind, the property is simply not fit for guests—and certainly not for anyone with a baby. The house felt unsafe: it was noticeably slanted and appeared to be set on top of loose cinder blocks. It felt like a lived-in old home, not a clean or properly maintained rental cottage.We walked in to find a peanut butter jar on the counter, half-used soaps and shampoo in the shower, and old food left in the fridge and freezer. The bedrooms had walls so dirty you could see footprints and grime. The listing also claimed air conditioning, but there was only one unit in the living room, leaving all the bedrooms hot and uncomfortable. On top of that, the photos were clearly edited and did not reflect the true condition of the property.We felt misled, unsafe, and uncomfortable—and we’re requesting a full refund.

Broken furniture, old stained sheets and towels. Not clean or vacuumed.

Easily one of the best renting experiences I've had in Old Lyme over the span of visiting in the summer for 10+ years. Dimitri was great, the cottage was the perfect distance from the beach (about a 2-minute walk!) and it was incredibly comfortable. We spent 3 nights here and would love to stay even longer in the future.

We booked last minute as we decided to join family staying in Old Lyme. This cottage was just perfect for our needs. My husband and I along with our 19 year old stayed here. Clean, newly remodeled and amenities to meet our needs for a 3 day beach retreat. Simple, but practical. Close to beach and a/c was a treat during the heat wave! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The location and property were perfect for our stay. Homeowner was very accommodating. Can’t wait to go back!!!!

The property was okay except washer & dryer were out of order and hot water wouldn't stay a steady temperature, also the toaster didn't work. But the major issue we had was with a schizophrenic man that lives next door who was intimidating us and was very angry, he even came right up in the front doorway when we were in the house. Talked to host about man having a key to the place and not feeling safe to spend a second night. Host knew all about man but would not refund our second night, so we went home a day early in fear of being victims of this crazy person.
