Nicely decorated and very comfortable older 2 BR house near the cute little village of Essex. Very large yard and beautiful outdoor furniture. Typical of the house’s vintage, stairs to bedrooms are very steep and slick so bring slippers or grippy socks.
We enjoyed Essex and our house. Gino was responsive and helpful.
We enjoyed it very much! Quiet and it had every thing we wanted and needed.
This home was better than advertised . Perfect for our short stay!
Charming and cozy home on a lovely property in a private setting. Walking distance to the center of beautiful & historic Village of Essex. Property manager was friendly and available, when needed, to communicate about check-in and check out. Home was very clean and tidy with everything needed for our stay. We loved our weekend in Essex!
This home was perfect for our short stay. Very comfortable and clean. Owners were responsive to questions and had all the amenities and conveniences upon arrival . Very thoughtful hosts. Highly recommend!
Perfect location. Easy access from Route 9 and property was walkable to town and seemed more rural than suburban due to the spacious lot size. Both bedrooms provided a great sleeping experience for the three guests. My first house rental on VRBO, and this was a winner. Many dining options very close to property. We all enjoyed the stay.
Warm home , very clean. Nice yard for doggy. Owners very thoughtful.
Lovely and comfortable home. Owners or property managers were informative and responsive. Perfect for our short stay.
House was cute,clean and comfortable...Owners were very nice and helpful.Veery convenient to the area
Lovely older home with all the amenities. Thoughtful conveniences were much appreciated: coffee pods for the Keurig, cookies, a small milk and half and half in the frig, soaps and shampoos, even a small bouquet of flowers from the garden. Beds were comfortable, home very clean, shower nice and hot. The location was great for visiting Essex, Old Lyme and Old Saybrook. We were there to see the Griswold Museum about 10 minutes from the house. Would highly recommend.
Very nice property
We spent a quiet weekend in Essex, CT. This house was very clean and very comfortable. My wife, my dog, and I couldn’t have been more pleased with our stay. Communication with the property owner was easy. Location is easy to get to off the highway, but it has a small-town feel and it is close to amenities. All in all, five stars!
Loved the location. Could walk to the Village for shopping and dinners in the evening.
Very nice Connecticut cape house with a pleasant side yard. 15 min walk to center of Essex. Nice restaurants everywhere, and the steam train ride is well worth the price. Very good chocolate cookies at the chocolate geek store down town. The house works pretty well except the freezer door on the refrigerator does not stay closed and opens whenever the refrigerator door is opened. Excellent tv and WiFi.
What a wonderful place! Just charming! Perfectly appointed for vacationers! Safe, private property, where you can relax, recharge and repeat! Lovely outdoor patio area. A nice walk to downtown Essex! Our Guest Contact provided excellent client service Highly, Highly recommend this property!!
Peaceful Setting with all you need for a great stay
Kind, communicative owners and a lovely property! It was raining the day we arrived, so Lovisa thoughtfully left an umbrella by the back door--preventing us from getting soaked as we carried the bags in. The house itself is decorated in a charming way, with all the amenities you'd expect plus all the comforts of home. There's also a great patio outside, with comfortable garden furniture. Best of all, you're just a short stroll from downtown Essex--one of the prettiest towns in coastal Connecticut. Thanks, Lovisa! Highly recommended.
Easy walk to downtown Essex, nearby parks, and the Connecticut River. Lovely outdoor patio, well-appointed home. Short drive to the Connecticut shore, beaches, Gillette Castle.
We spent a perfect weekend in Essex (celebrating our anniversary) at this charming home with a very private yard. The owners were welcoming (flowers and cookies for us as well as milk and cream in the fridge) and available if we needed anything but the house was fully equipped and we didn't need a thing. The house is only a mile from the center of Essex so very close and walkable. Thank you for a relaxing weekend!
Nice, quaint home. Beds are comfortable, house is clean.
