Summer Cottage with Water Views at Great Hammock Beach in Old Saybrook

Loved the salt marsh with all the birds. The views at the beach were amazing! Scott and Mary-Jo were wonderful! I would definitely stay again!

We very much appreciated the timely communication from the owners. They were very accommodating and we were comfortable in their home. When back in the area we will be staying at this lovely summer cottage.

The house was the perfect size. Comfortable and clean and on a wonderful quiet street that is great for a stroll down to the water. The property manager was friendly and efficient.We were welcomed by homemade banana bread in the refrigerator which was the best any of us have tasted!! This property is a perfect get away for adults or families. We will definitely return.

My mother and I rented this cottage to attend my niece’s wedding in Westbrook on June 20. We couldn’t have been more happy from the minute we walked in. There was a lovely banana bread waiting for us and the home was immaculate. I love the magnetic doorstop by the back deck, which allowed for a wonderful air flow throughout the house. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of hangers and all the closets. It’s located on a quiet street and there was no noise at all. We slept well and truly enjoyed our stay. We will definitely be back next time our travels take us to the old Saybrook area. Thank you both for a wonderful experience.

Old-fashioned cottage with modern updates, just a short walk from the beach. Quiet, friendly neighborhood. The hosts take good care of their guests! My favorite part was the view from the back deck, which looks out into a grassy marsh and small river, complete with several osprey checking out a nesting platform. Look forward to staying here again!

Our 2nd time to stay at this cozy little cottage. We always enjoy our time spent here. And we do enjoy the homemade banana bread.

This rental was just what my friends and I needed for a wedding nearby. Mary-Jo and Scott were very responsive and clear in the check-in instructions, and made the stay stress-free! I would recommend this rental to anyone that is looking for a reliable space in a safe neighborhood!

I and a group of friends stayed at Scott and Mary-Jo's VRBO for a fishing charter we had in Old Saybrook. We were very satisfied with our stay and the VRBO itself. They even made us homemade banana bread! Would highly recommend this VRBO.

Property was very clean and the outdoor deck was a great place to have a morning coffee with an excellent view. The banana bread was delicious and very thoughtful.

First and foremost the inlet is awesome for the family...we spent the week playing in the giant puddles ..it was the perfect intro to the ocean! At high tide we grilled and enjoyed the backyard! Super friendly neighborhood.. multiple public beaches in walking distance..house has everything you need and nothing you don't to enjoy a quick family get away!

The cottage was quite wonderful with a large kitchen and comfy porched living-room. Scott was very quick regarding any communication. The only thing in the description that I would add is that you'll need to bring your own towels and bed linens. It wasn't a problem, but our airplane carry-on bags only were already packed. We made our adjustments and ended up checking a bag, no worries. Just a thought. We thoroughly enjoyed its quiet and relaxing location.

Wonderful stay! The hosts are friendly and communicative; the location is superb - so beautiful and you can smell the salt in the air; and the cottage was cozy and all that we needed. Thank you for a great stay!
