About this property

This charming 2 bedroom, 2 bath cottage was built in 1904 by a mother as a honeymoon cottage for her newly married daughter. The house is full of character and charm, and is in a premier location in Madison, only 5 houses down from East Wharf Beach. The house can be configured to sleep up to 6 people. Perfect for a family looking for a beach getaway in lovely, scenic Madison, Connecticut. The cottage includes 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, an outdoor shower, a living room, dining room and glassed in sunporch. It has newly installed central air-conditioning. Each bedroom has a queen-sized bed. The larger bedroom can accommodate an additional single bed if requested. The sunporch includes a convertible twin sleeper chair for an additional guest.

Great Cottage, great location = Great Vacation

The cottage was just as advertised...beautiful older house with character but all modern amenities, including A/C, W/D, Weber gas grille, etc. It's a very short walk to the beach. Very nice neighborhood with friendly neighbors. Don't forget the garage in back that contains a bunch of nice amenities - beach chairs, a wagon, two bicycles...I very much enjoyed my stay and hope to visit again next year...

Cute beach house

We loved our stay! Check- in and out was very easy. The house was clean and had every essential needed including beach items. It was a 2 minute walk to the small, semi-private beach. The beach is beautiful and was never packed. There’s a fishing dock, kayak launch area and bathrooms. We loved walking the neighborhood, to multiple beaches and even walked to the surf club! The neighbors and everyone walking were very nice. We rode the bikes around, although could probably use air in the tires and WD40. We recommend Cafe Allegres, Moxies and Christy’s for food. Highly recommend and would definitely love to visit again!

About the host

Your host

My husband and I have lived in Madison, CT for over 10 years and are raising our too small children here. We purchased this house in 2017 for my mother to enjoy during her winter stays in Madison (she spends her summers in the Finger Lakes). We are working hard on making this special beach house a great destination for summer visitors! We appreciate your feedback! We love this town and our new home and hope you enjoy the property too! We will do whatever we can to make your stay enjoyable.
