We needed another house to accommodate family in town for a family reunion. It worked about perfectly! And the banana bread was delicious ❤️
The quiet friendly community, the short walk to the ocean, the peaceful back yard that looked on to the marsh and tidal river, the sight of boats, the walks on the nearby sand bars, the comfortable and well stocked cottage, and the accommodating hosts are all great reasons to recommend this cottage as a great place to stay near Old Saybrook.
Can't say enough about Scott and Mary-Jo, Wonderful, responsive and kind people. House was/is super clean, appointed exceptionally cute. Barely half a block from the water and absolutely beautiful. We will be staying again
This property far exceeded our expectations. I don't think the pictures do it justice! Spotless, quiet, comfortable, and quite spacious living areas. The neighborhood was great, both private and local town beaches were just what we wanted.
We couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather or a more serene location to get away from the daily hustle and bustle. The owners gave fantastic suggestions to make the best of our stay, and were a blessing when we accidentally got locked out. The banana bread was a pleasant addition to greet us on our arrival and the neighborhood was welcoming. We absolutely loved our mothers/daughters vacation!
Property was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped for a lengthy stay but we were only there for a couple of nights and did not cook at all. TV and WiFi were provided, beds were comfortable, and the location is in a quiet cottage neighborhood just steps from a private little beach. The back yard looks out over an inlet - a very pleasant place to sit in the provided Adirondack chairs. You need to be aware that there are no bed linens in the cottage and it wasn't mentioned in the property write-up. We were made aware a few weeks before our stay and it was impractical for us to bring our own on a long plane flight. The owner will supply these for a charge, but after I fussed about not knowing this up front, they graciously waived the fee. They also provided a freshly baked loaf of banana nut bread upon our arrival. Scott stopped by to make sure everything was in order and was only a few houses away to respond to any needs. Overall, very nice property.
After growing up in the area and returning many years later, it was a pleasure to take in the area from such a beautiful vantage point on the marsh at Great Hammock Beach. Really appreciate Scott, the owner responding to my asking if the property had a fire pit by dropping off a large Solo stove with firewood for our enjoyment. That is truly Great Hammock hospitality!
The property was fine but weather was not. Was a little chilly in the house.
This house was so cute and cozy with plenty of room for our group. Communication with the property owners was great. They were very friendly and even made banana bread for us, which was delicious! Would definitely recommend.
Where do I even start? Everything about our stay was perfect! We were greeted with a lovely note and delicious banana bread baked by the owner. The cottage was so clean and a perfect size for my family. The neighborhood was quiet and full of lovely people. The beach was so close and perfect for my 9 year old daughter and nephew. Mary Jo and Scott are such wonderful people and we can’t wait to rent from them again ?
We had another relaxing stay in Old Saybrook. This was our second year renting this cottage and it did not disappoint again. The cottage is very clean, has beautiful sunsets and is yards away from the beach. We came and went with the tide as low tide is our favorite time. This year we were surprised by some delicious banana bread upon arrival which my son highly enjoyed. If you are looking for a low key and relaxing spot on the CT shore this cottage shouldn’t be over looked.
Booked this for a 6 day stay. Was the perfect size for me and my husband, and his nephew stayed a couple of nights as well. Location is perfect, being steps from the ocean and a short walk to Harvey's Beach. You will need to bring linens, but the property manager will let you know ahead of time. Also, the shower temperature is backwards, just move the handle until it gets hot :)
My Mother & I stayed here as we have family nearby. We both were so impressed - it was neat as a pin & super clean. Previously we've stayed at underwhelming hotels when we've come to this area & we'll never do that again! This cottage was so cozy, the neighborhood was serene and peaceful. and the neighbors we met were so friendly. We loved sitting out back and watching the osprey and the cattails swaying in wind. Our visit left us feeling very well rested! The owners were super nice - we enjoyed homemade banana bread! We loved driving to downtown for shopping and lunch at Penny Lane. Even though it felt a bit remote, we were able to get an Uber if needed which was terrific as I don't even like to have 1 drink & drive! There is a HIGH police presence in this town so we felt very safe and I would encourage you to use Uber too if having a drink. Great little cottage, would definitely stay there again. Bedrooms are roomy & although we were only 2, I could see being comfortable with full capacity. Thanks for a great stay.
