Westbrook, Connecticut
Welcome to the Salt Island Inn! (It’s not really an inn, that's just our family name for the house).
From the south face of our house, you will enjoy glistening views of the Long Island Sound… from the terrace, from the balcony, and from the unobstructed wall of windows.
The experience at the house is always new, as the light changes and the tide ebbs and flows. Share the excitement of high-tide waves crashing against the sea wall. During low tide, play on an expansive sand bar, walk out to Salt Island to visit the wildlife or take a long stroll along the beach.
This impeccably renovated classic coastal beach house is located in the quiet community of Middle Beach in Westbrook, Connecticut. Guests describe it variously as “charming,” “immaculate,” and “tastefully decorated.” Our Inn boasts four gracious bedrooms, equipped with king-size beds, fresh linens, fluffy pillows, Roku TVs, and individual A/C units. The master suite has a private bath. There are two additional bathrooms, one on the second floor where you can luxuriate in the vintage claw foot tub, and one on the first floor which includes a laundry room. One of the bedrooms has two extra long twin beds which easily convert to a king-size bed upon request.
Enjoy 180° views of the water from the expansive main-floor living space and from upper-level bedrooms. Relax in the cozy living room equipped with a workspace and a gas fireplace. Prepare delicious meals in a well-stocked kitchen featuring stainless appliances and a dishwasher; savor your meals at the dining table overlooking the Sound.
The family room has a 50-inch Roku TV with plenty of comfortable seating. In the adjoining den, you will find an intimate setting complete with four relaxing swivel rocking chairs, a variety of family games, and an additional workspace.
Outside, on the lower-level terrace, there’s a Weber gas grill, concrete dining table and conversation seating along with a gas fire pit. In the garage, you will find a full-size ping pong table, kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, floats, and plenty of outdoor toys and games. An additional fridge, beach towels, beach chairs, a beach umbrella, a cooler, and cozy blankets for cool evenings are all available. There is an outdoor shower here as well.
This house is ADULTS ONLY and has a maximum capacity of 8. It is not suitable for young children or those with limited mobility. No pets. No smoking. No parties.
Nearby, enjoy all the shoreline has to offer. Find lots of delicious restaurants, visit nearby Hammonasset State Beach & Park, the Stewart McKinney Wildlife Preserve, or shop at the outlets. Of course, you could just relax on the terrace taking in the sea air and watching the tide go in and out.
We look forward to making you welcome.

After selling our own home on the beach, we became summer renters. Our first 3 experiences were disappointing. But I knew this would be different as soon as we walked in. Next summer will be our 3rd time -- and I hope to continue. The place is well designed, well furnished and very well stocked. It's a beautiful location and Fran is incredibly responsive whenever anything comes up. This summer will be our 3rd - and I hope to continue.
We didn't want to leave! All the people we bumped into were super kind and welcoming. The host provided everything we could ever need for relaxing indoors and out. The house is spacious, clean, and well appointed. The outdoor space is amazing and we loved stepping straight into the water. I even fished from the steps! We hope to be back again!
The home was impeccable, the property was perfect and the views were amazing. It was a great week away with our blended family. The outdoor dining and seating with the fire pit made the game nights so cozy. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us xo
This house is a gem, the water views from the front bedrooms, kitchen and main living area are spectacular! You are as close to the water as can be, we felt relaxed from the moment we arrived. The house is perhaps the best stocked house we have stayed at - from the kitchenware to the pantry (oils, spices) to the waterfront equipment including kayaks, paddle boards, floats and more! We enjoyed walking out to Salt Island during low tide. The owner was accessible and communicative. Great experience all around!
Spotless, well stocked with every amenity anyone could need! Gorgeous views, helpful owners, great location with restaurants nearby. Definitely worth the money!!! Comfortable beds with luxurious bedding. Easy to relax, play with all the beach toys provided, or see the sights.
My bridal party stayed here on our wedding weekend and it was absolutely stunning! The attention to detail at this property is unreal and we kept saying all weekend we couldn’t believe how amazing it was. Each aspect was so well thought out and we couldn’t want for any more!!! Highly highly recommend for a beautiful vacation getaway!!!
Lovely house on the water comfortably furnished definitely a place to go back to!
The house, location, amenities, communications with the host were all perfect. There was plenty of room for our family of 7 adults and the location could not be beat. At high tide it almost seemed like we were on a boat and at low tide there was a nice walking beach (too chilly to swim). The host was extremely communicative and very flexible. The stocked pantry and lovely bottle of wine were a nice bonus.
Lots of little treasures at this beachfront home. Luxurious sheets, stocked kitchen and comfortable furniture. We had dinner outside one evening and enjoyed the sunset! We also loved the gas fireplace. Beautiful home and beautiful memories ♥️
Over the past 40 years, we've done short and longer term rentals. We've had positive and not so positive experiences. This was, by far, the best experience each of us have ever had. The house is designed while still being very easy to live in. It's beyond 'fully equipped' with anything you might want. And when I asked about anything, Fran was quick to respond and supply it. The views are lovely and the location/access to swimable water is amazing - as one person said, when the tide is in, you feel like you're on a boat. And Fran couldn't be a more gracious host. By the end of our first week, we booked for next year. I'm already looking forward to it!
The home was even more breathtaking then what the pictures showed and the beach being steps away for our very senior parents was perfect for allowing them to enjoy the water. Thank you Fran, our family appreciated the time we spent together in your beautiful home.
The home was wonderful, great location, owner had everything just perfect!!!! Would stay again!!!
The view when you walk into the second floor is stunning. You get the same view when you wake up in bed, on the third floor- so relaxing! They provided SUP and canoes, books, board games. The house is beautiful and well decorated. Fresh flowers and wine, gave that extra touch. Communication was easy! They also had a Roku to watch Netflix. The downstairs patio had a nice gas fireplace and a couch to take a sun nap! They gave good restaurant recommendations and had menus available, as well! I highly recommend a stay if you need to recoup your energy and enjoy the water and sun!
Our family was beyond excited when this property became available for our yearly vacation to the CT shoreline. The pictures were amazing & we were instantly hooked…but nothing compares to being there in person. The views from the balcony are absolutely stunning & like nothing we had experienced in prior vacation homes over the past 40 years! Watching the sun set while being cooled by breezes off the water was priceless. The house is very well-appointed, comfortable & chock full of amenities that made our stay that much more enjoyable. From the king-sized beds and kayaks to the gas fire pit, every detail is so well thought out for the maximum enjoyment of those who stay at the Salt Island Inn. It’s also close to many restaurants and places to shop in Westbrook, Clinton & Old Saybrook. We can’t wait to come back again next year!!
We had a fantastic stay at the Salt Island Inn. The house is completely stocked with everything you need both for inside and outside. The owner of the property is extremely accommodating, accessible and friendly. We would happily stay at this property again. Thank you!
This will go down as one of my favorite places that I have stayed. The property was clean and VERY well equipped! Aside from being a beautiful house in a beautiful location the kitchen was very well stocked and had sharp knives to prepare food with, something that many rental homes don't offer. Fran was very kind and easy to get in contact with. We wish there was time available at the end of summer, we will be back!
We are so happy to have spent this time together in this beautiful waterfront home. Comfortable and homey but spacious and relaxing. The view of the island with the changing tides was great to watch throughout the day. The kitchen was well stocked with the few things we forgot. Fran was a great communicator and made the whole process easy and her welcome bottle of wine was a nice gift. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home!!
Salt Island Inn is gorgeous, comfortable, well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and didn't want to leave. Watching the tide ebb and flow from the spacious and comfortable living and dining area in the house, and from the outdoor patio with fire pit, was meditative and fun ... all at once. And we can't say enough wonderful things about Fran. She is communicative, flexible, and just easy to work with. We changed our reservation dates early on and she walked me through the process making it very easy, and she was available for any questions we had during our stay. The best property manager we ever worked with in VRBO. We hope to come back!!
