Gracious, Airy New London Cottage, Steps from Private Beach

We were happy to be able to bring our pups on our family beach vacation. It was a wonderful neighborhood to walk and look at the ocean. The house was welcoming and large enough for each of us to sleep comfortably.

The house is a quaint older cottage with plenty of room for five of us. The house contained everything we needed and was tastefully decorated and very comfortable. Location to beaches and other ocean activities was most convenient. Communications with the owner were both pleasant and accommodating.

We absolutely loved our stay at Brian’s beautiful home—truly one of the best vacations we’ve ever had! The massive porch with ocean views was our favorite hangout spot, perfect for watching boats go by and soaking in the sea breeze. With tons of windows, the whole house felt light, airy, and peaceful.We also really appreciated how tastefully decorated the home was, with so many thoughtful touches that reflect the rich history of New London. The location couldn’t be better—an easy walk to a private beach and walking distance to Ocean Beach where we enjoyed the cruise night, mini golf, and even the water slides.Brian’s home is comfortable, inviting, and full of charm. We’d stay again in a heartbeat!

This home was perfect for a long weekend in New London. The house is charming, the front porch is perfect for fresh air while listening to the waves crash at the nearby beach

Our first trip to the New England area was truly memorable, especially because we found the perfect beachside home. Brian's family home exceeded our expectations, offering not only stunning sound views but also a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The nostalgic details throughout the house gave us a deep sense of comfort and togetherness. The family's pride is evident in the extensive library and the artwork showcasing New London's rich history. Although we didn't meet anyone in person, the well-stocked home made us feel genuinely cared for. We're already looking forward to our next visit.

This was the perfect place for us to stay in New London and get our fill of beach while visiting relatives. The property is part of an historic neighborhood, and all the original homes are over 100, so don't expect modern perfection. This is an altogether different type of perfection. When we arrived, there were fresh hydrangeas in vases throughout the first floor to welcome us. The gardens are lovely (and the monarchs seemed to agree). Our family has strong connections to the area, so we loved all the historical pictures and books worked into the decor. The huge porch and numerous windows provide a constant sea breeze and we never even noticed that we were largely without AC in mid-July. The window AC in the bedrooms was plenty to guarantee comfortable sleeping. We ranged in age from 25 to 92 and all were more than happy with the property and hoping we'll have a chance to return. If you appreciate a property with some history and quirks and you love quiet beach access, sea breezes, and a lovely unpretentious place to relax you'll love this.

The house was great! So cute, with great water views . Online photo’s don’t do it justice. The outdoor porch was a great place to hang out. The beds were super comfy. House was also super clean. We would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely loved the house, exactly as pictured with somehow an even better view/location than expected. The house was charming, historic, clean, comfortable and well-stocked. We had no issue making a few meals and had plenty of options from serve-ware to glassware. The newly finished porch was absolute perfection (our group spent most of our time out there) and falling asleep to the sounds of crashing waves is unmatched. Beach couldn’t be closer and the few neighbors we met were super friendly. Brian was super communicative before and during our stay and left easy check in/check out instructions. This is the exact type of home I dream of owning some day! Highly recommend a stay here

This older house has a lot of character, and was comfortable for our family of four in town for a relative's wedding. It was lovely waking up to see the sunrise over the water through the bedroom windows, and walking just across the street down to the water to hear the waves. Brian keeps the house well stocked, and everything was clean and tidy! We thought the weather would be cold, but instead it was unexpectedly warm -- open windows and the floor fans in the house kept it comfortable inside. It was an enjoyable stay!

This charming house was a typical New England nautical, vintage house in the beautiful neighborhood of Neptune Park. The location was perfect. The host was an excellent communicator and very helpful. The house is well stocked. We plan to return next year.
