The space
Our cottage is just steps from a private beach (directly across the street). Everything is newly renovated, but has that rustic seaside feel. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor space for a family getaway, with Wifi for connecting to the world and even more opportunities to disconnect as needed.
Admittedly, it would be easy to hide away here for a week or more, without making much contact with anyone other than the gulls. That being said, Fairfield is also rich in foodie and entertainment options.
We're an easy bike ride to town, a longer walk, and a really short drive or Uber trip. The cottage is roughly a half mile from the Fairfield Metro North Train Stop (which is roughly an hour from Manhattan), and is a hop, skip, and a jump from Interstate 95 and the Merritt Parkway.
The path to the beach is directly accross the street and between two houses. This is a common feature of Fairfield Beach. Also, we have parking for three vehicles, in front, under house. The parking can be tight for larger cars.
The cottage was perfect. All of the basics were supplied such as toilet paper, paper towels, pack and play, booster seat etc. Check in and check out were easy with very little for us to do. Gerard was extremely helpful. He is one of the most efficient and kind property managers that I have ever dealt with. He answered every question I had and provided information about the area.The beach area was clean and quiet. Beds were comfortable and the backyard space was great with the kids!
This cottage is amazing! Very clean and great location. Beds were very comfy. If it’s available you should grab it! A hidden gem and Gerard could not be any easier to work with. Great communicator
The house is beautiful, the location is wonderful. The beds are comfy. Everything is perfect. The only caution is the parking space is a little tight if you have a big vehicle. I drove a Ford Transit 12 passenger van which I was able to get off the street with some maneuvering. Any bigger than that would be difficult.
The house was absolutely perfect and Gerard was so kind! The location cannot be beat and the house was so comfortable to stay in, highly highly recommend you stay here if you are going to Fairfield!
Such a cute beach house. It is was a perfect location for our family of four to stay at while visiting with other family in Fairfield/Southport/Westport and also allowing us to go into NYC for a day trip to the Statue of Liberty.
The house was great ..perfect location and Gerard was amazing ..He was attentive and checked in on us throughout our entire stay
This is a gorgeous property. The house is so nicely renovated and really lovely and comfortable. It has nice furniture and linens and a great kitchen. We were surprised by how much the kitchen had in a compact size. Plenty of space with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Helpful instructions were given on how to access the beach and we had no problems with that. It is very close and you can see a sliver of ocean from the couch and dining table. The only thing that surprised us was how small the parking area is. We had a single mid sized SUV to park and it took some maneuvering to get it where it wasn’t right by the road. I felt a little nervous being so parked to the road on a turn but I did notice that other properties had a similar situation and parked extremely close to the road. It seems like a small community and we didn’t get swiped so it worked out in the end. I would heartily recommend this property and hope we may be so lucky as to stay here again in the future. I would sum it up as- everything you need, beautiful, relaxing, and quaint yet luxurious.
Really enjoyed our visit. The property is on a really nice stretch of beach which is perfect for walking. The host and property were exactly as we hoped. We would definitely come back!
Clean, quaint spot for a family gathering. A little chilly in February but very calming and pleasant stay.
My family and I decided we wanted to just get away. We found this great beach property in Fairfield. Everything was perfect from the moment we checked in. Thank you for allowing us into your home.
What a great spot to enjoy the shoreline Fairfield has to offer. Seconds to the shoreline!
This house was very clean and nice. Really close to everything.
Our experience was extremely positive.
Gerard was incredibly helpful and attentive! The house was beautiful and perfect for our needs!
We live in the same town but needed to move out of our house for a few days due to a construction project at our house. Gerard was the best he went out of his way by texts to make sure everything was going well at the rental. He let us check in early so we could work the day we checked in which was great! The rental was very clean and cozy! It was great that we could bring our 2 dogs they enjoyed being close to the beach. I would rent this place again! Thank you Gerard!
Beautiful, comfortable accommodation. Gerald was extremely gracious. We look forward to returning!
The owner was fantastic from start to finish - always readily available and made our comfort his obvious priority. The property itself was as described; cute, neat, clean and just enough space. While the TV had just very basic cable channels, it was a smart TV with a firestick for streaming, which was fine. Would be great if there were small TVs in the bedrooms, but this is more of a suggestion and wasn't a big deal at all. The beach access thing is a little tricky, not so much the owner's issue, but the owner of the tall house across the street wasn't happy when we put our umbrella and chairs on the area that we thought and still believe was 'inside the high tide line' as described in the rules. While she congenially expressed her frustration with seeing parades of strangers basically sitting in her back yard, she also made no offer/effort to allow us to stay the 15 minutes more we said we were planning on staying. If she really loved people and felt so bad telling us as much as she said she did, then why not allow us the 15 minutes to watch the waves and pack up? Hmmm... Finally, my wife left her Kindle behind and the owner located it and handed it off to my daughter who goes to school in the area - great customer service! Would recommend if you're in the area and looking for a reasonably priced stay at a comfortable place with a helpful, friendly owner.
Nice property with great location
We were in town for a wedding and truly enjoyed our stay.
I am beyond impressed with the communication from Gerald. He was quick to let me know there was an AC issue prior to our check in, which he already had a resolution too, which was fixed before we arrived. The cottage itself is quaint, clean, and has everything you need. Beds were comfortable. Pillows were extremely soft, if you like that you are set, otherwise pack your own. The beach contained a good amount of shells, bring water shoes if you have sensitive feet. The shells cleared out upon getting further into the water. Parking was tight, I would not recommend a large SUV or van. Upon chatting with Gerald regarding the parking, he provided me an alternative for parking. I would 100% stay here again. The communication alone from Gerald had me sold. Thank you Gerald for being so readily available and honest. You can tell the host 100% takes his properties seriously and truly wants the guests to have a great experience.
