Old Lyme
Loved, loved, loved the location! No packing up the car to go to the beach, just roll out of bed and step out the door. Perfect for us with 2 toddlers. Very cozy beach cottage. Well stocked kitchen. Enjoyed it very much.

Perfect location for family
Classic New England right on the beach. I can't over-emphasize how much more enjoyable being right on the beach is, especially traveling with children and grandparents. Hosts were super-responsive, kitchen well-stocked and plenty of beach stuff in the garage. Large side yard (also right on the beach) was very helpful. Great little private community. Order the donuts on the weekends in the summer.

Beach cottage--a nice little oasis
This property was just what my family needed to wrap up the summer. The house had a beautiful rustic feel to it. That porch was lovely to sit out on at any time of the day. There was ample space in and outside of the house. The bedrooms did get a little hot without AC, but it did not bother us. Kathy was great to work with as well--very helpful and quick to respond. Overall, a great gem...can't wait to return next summer!
