Cottage

Chill and relax. Or remote to work from the beach.

Madison, Connecticut, United States

There are few places like this on the shoreline that sit directly on a quiet, private, sandy beach. brbrLife is good at the beach, especially when it's right outside the door! brbrbrbrRelax, chill out, and watch sunrises on the porch with your morning coffee. brbrCatch sunsets from the lower beach deck with your wine cooler or brew. brbrDrop your line into the surf in front of the cottage and catch tonight’s supper. brbrOr launch kayaks into the river and explore the Ox Marsh wildlife preserve behind the cottage. The public boat launch is just down the street.brbrbrbr— Unplug but still be connected —brbrNeed to keep in touch with work while you vacay This is the place. With a dedicated desk/work area (with both wired and WiFi connections), you can connect remotely to work or school while enjoying an exquisite view of Long Island Sound and the wildlife marsh. The WiFi reaches to the beach deck, so bring your laptop and iced tea down to the beach level. What a way to work! You’ll never want to go back to your office.brbrbrbrAll photos on this website were taken from the cottage or the surrounding wildlife area. It is just like you see it in the photos!brbrbrbr— About our family’s cottage —brbrThis is a quiet nature retreat that's perfect for couples, singles, and families. The recently updated cottage is beautifully restored with new kitchen appliances, a well-outfitted cook's kitchen, and internet/smart TV. The cottage is open, airy, and comfortably furnished. Large windows and ceiling fans carry the ocean breezes throughout the cottage.brbrbrbrWith nearly 360-degree views, you’ll watch spectacular sunrises and sunsets from the porch, living room, and bedrooms. Gaze at the ospreys in the marsh while you're still in bed. Identify the various sandpiper, egret, and gull species from the waterside porch. Watch the sailboats and ships pass Falkner's Lighthouse about 5 miles off shore. Everywhere you look, it's gorgeous. brbrbrbrOur cottage is family owned (70+ years and 6 generations). It's our treasured home that we've put a lot of TLC into, not a commercial real estate venture. We rent only the weeks when family members aren't using it.brbrbrbr— Right on a private sandy beach —brbrOur family's 1938 historic wood cottage is directly on Circle Beach, a quiet cove on Long Island Sound with 20 cottages on a small peninsula of sand. Long Island Sound is right outside the door, and Ox Marsh wildlife management area is behind us.brbrbrbrA spacious wall-to-wall beach deck is under the cottage and provides a private, shaded outdoor living room with ample patio seating and dining area. The surf is just a few steps away. And the WiFi reaches the beach deck, too. brbrbrbrUpstairs, the large screened porch overlooks the beach where you can read a book while watching the kids and sandpipers on the beach below. Perfect place for dining and sitting.brbrbrbr— It's a restful, beachside sanctuary — brbrOur family's cottage is located just 20 miles east of New Haven. It's a classic New England cottage with original rustic knotty-pine walls, but recently updated with all the modern creature comforts you need, too. It’s a charmer that is bright, airy, and nicely appointed.brbrbrbrCircle Beach is a small, residential beach used by owners for R&R. It is not Hammonasset (that's on the other side of town) or Fire Island NY (that's across the Sound!). brbrbrbrAnd it's quiet because this is a residential neighborhood of property owners, not a commercial rental.brbrbrbr*** Having a wedding, family reunion, or large gathering brbrThis is NOT the place. NO EVENTS are allowed.brbrbrbr— Nature retreat — brbrThe cottage is surrounded by nature: Long Island Sound on the south, and Ox Marsh / East River Wildlife Area on the north and west. It's adjacent to 100+ acres of preserved beach and marshland that's perfect for birding and kayaking. Egrets, great blue herons, gulls, sandpipers, ducks, ospreys, and dozens of other shorebirds thrive here and you'll often spot them from the porch while having your morning coffee in your PJs.brbrbrbr— Boaters and kayakers delight —brbrA free state public boat launch is just down the road where you can launch your boat across from Guilford Harbor and head out to the Sound, or launch your kayak for leisurely trips up the East and Neck Rivers that run behind the cottage through the wildlife saltwater preserve where you'll spot countless shorebirds.brbrbrbr— The fishing's great — brbrSurfcast from in front of the cottage and catch tonight's supper...striper, porgie, flounder and more. Or launch your boat and fish farther offshore for larger fish. Or join a fishing charter at a neighboring harbor and go for blues.brbrbrbr— Our family's home for 70+ years — brbrSix generations of our family have enjoyed the cottage and we're sure your family will love it, too. Because it's our family's summer home, we maintain it with lots of TLC and outfit it with comfortable, inviting furnishings. Enjoy our seashell collection from our beach and from beaches around the world. With several artists in the family, you'll find family oil paintings, photographs, and pottery. brbrbrbrAnd don't hesitate to tap into our book library, kids toys and picture puzzles. This is not an ordinary beach cottage rental, that's for sure!brbrbrbrInternet (both WiFi and wired) and cable TV are provided. The smart-TV is internet-connected, so bring your streaming account info.brbrbrbr— It's ready for your family to enjoy — brbrThere are always breezes here at the beach, so come cool off and chill out for a while. Expect temperatures 5-to-10 degrees cooler than inland. Just bring your bed linens, pillows, towels, and flip-flops and you're all set for a relaxing, cooling vacation at the beach.brbrbrbr— NOTES — brbr1.
