Family Friendly, Beach Themed Cottage - Chalker Beach

The cottage was just lovely and very comfortable. It was only about a ten minute walk to the beach and the private beach was very nice. The front porch was one of our favorite parts of the stay. We had everything we needed to make meals with a large kitchen. We felt right at home.

The cottage was beautiful and immaculately clean. It was comfortable and had unexpected features, such as an outdoor shower with hot water for folks returning from the beach. Chalker Beach is a short walk away, where the sand is groomed regularly. The cottage also featured a screened gazebo and grill for outdoor dining. Our hosts gave us a warm welcome! We can't say enough how much we loved our stay.

The cottage was adorable and a great size for our family (mom, dad, two children). It was very clean and a short walk to the beach. The size of the beach and the tranquil water were ideal for our kids’ ages (5 and 8). The people in the neighborhood and on the beach itself were very friendly! Old Saybrook is a super cute town with a lot of family friendly restaurants, which is always a plus. Communication with our host was easy and pleasant. We had a lovely week!

The cottage itself was charming, peaceful, and nicely maintained — a lovely spot once settled in. However, there were several inconveniences that impacted our overall experience.We were disappointed to find out we needed to bring our own sheets, towels, and toiletries — something that’s not easy when flying across the country from Arizona to Connecticut. After a long travel day and arriving late in the evening, the last thing we wanted to do was make beds before we could rest.Additionally, the lockbox for the key was difficult to open, which made arrival even more frustrating. Communication with the owner was slow,which didn’t help with coordinating details.In short, while the cottage itself was pleasant, the lack of basic essentials, late-night arrival hassles, and logistical snags made the experience more stressful than it should have been. With a few thoughtful improvements, this rental could be more guest - friendly.

Great time Love this house The front porch is amazing.

We loved our stay here, this was our 2nd time here!! Cozy and quaint!!

This cottage worked perfectly for our visit to Old Saybrook. Loved the front porch and the back screened in area. The one AC unit upstairs was the only inconvenience but we did make it work by leaving bedroom doors open. Otherwise, everything was perfect.

Welcome touches were much appreciated. Ann Marie was a delightful hostess and so helpful answering our questions. We would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone wanting to go to Old Saybrook, CT.

Chalker Beach is a wonderful place. Close to the beach beautiful inside very clean parking pass for the beach. AnnMarie and Wayne are great host. Very responsive to any request. Hope to go back next year.

Ann Marie is top notch in everything she does. Makes us feel so welcome. Kid's feel at home.
