Westbrook, Connecticut
We have some prime weeks remaining for summer 2024.
This lovely family vacation home has 5 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms (one with a claw foot tub) and a spacious open kitchen with a 6-burner Garland range. The renovated kitchen is fully equipped with blender, lobster pot, pots and pans, spices and a variety of cook books - all that you need to cook elaborately or throw together a quick meal.
Amenities include a hot outdoor shower, a large, screened porch with ping-pong table and wicker furniture, 1/4 acre lawn (croquet!), and an outdoor dining and seating area with a charcoal grill.
Stairs lead down past a hut with beach chairs and umbrellas to a private beach (shared by three surrounding homes) that boasts beautiful sunsets and a cool sandbar at low tide.
The neighborhood has quiet streets (speed limit 20 mph) for morning and evening walks, runs or bike rides. There are many nearby hikes, including Eleanor Roosevelt's summer place about a mile away!
The Westbrook Outlets and Clinton Crossing Malls are minutes away. The Casinos and historic Mystic Seaport (and Aquarium) are 30 minutes away. Also nearby are the Ivoryton Playhouse, the Goodspeed Opera House, the Essex Steam Train, Gillette Castle, Rocky Neck State Park, Hamonesset State Park and Chamard Vineyards.
Easy access to the Westbrook, Clinton and Old Saybrook train stations (Shoreline and Amtrak trains to New York City or Boston).

The house is very comfortable with 4 bedrooms on the second floor and a loft on the third. Lots of kitchen gadgets - I especially liked the hand-press espresso machine. A short walk to the beach which my kids loved. Had a great stay!
Nice home, great location, easy 100 yd walk to the water. Home is a bit outdated, but still comfortable Only 1 indoor shower but the outside shower has got hot water which is nice. Master bed is a waterbed which was a curveball.
A vacation to write about in a home you read about. We could have spent our days on the idyllic porch if the beach hadn’t been so close and inviting. What a great location — close to great restaurants and towns to explore. Thanks to our wonderful hosts for our fond family memories and for sharing your beautiful home.
Donna the host was very responsive to our inquiries . The house is a fun quirky space with a comfortable relaxed vibe. The kitchen is well equipped and the living spaces provide well for time together and quiet moments. Outside space is lovely with the ocean just steps away. Loved it!
This was our second stay at this beach house and it proved to be another terrific family vacation - plenty of room, yard for the children, easy access to a private beach, convenient location, and a welcoming host who responded to any questions and concerns immediately. Great all around vacation place for a family!
The whole family had a great time. The location is great, views and breeze while sitting on back porch. Nice sandy beach for little ones and large grass yard.
This was a perfect vacation rental for my family. The home easily accommodated 5 adults and 4 children. The kitchen was perfect for making meals and the large circular dining table was perfect for family meals. We really enjoyed the large yard and playing ping pong on the screened in porch. There was easy access to the private beach and floats and beach toys available for use. We made great memories here and can’t wait to go back next year!
We had a wonderful time with our friends and teens. Donna has everything you need for your beach vacation. The house was spacious and the grounds are just amazing.
The property was well equipped - large bedrooms, large comfortable sitting area, large dining table, charming porch, beautiful lawn. We only wish we had more time to enjoy the property and all it offered while we were in town for a family wedding. There was only two negatives - 1) while there are 3 bathrooms, only 1 indoor shower. 2) it was a challenge to wash all the sheets and towels in time for morning checkout. Thank you for a lovely visit. We would love to come back!
the cottage and location are fabulous. It's an older cottage with lots of charm and a view of the ocean. I couldn't have been happier with the experience
