Nice relaxing stay

Great long weekend with the family - walking distance to the downtown and restaurants. Property sits among multi million dollar homes. A simple, un-cluttered, cottage type house. Cozy!

Perfect relaxing vacation

Property was exactly as pictured, incredibly cozy and perfect for a relaxing vacation on the water. Coffee in the morning or snacks/cocktails in the afternoon on the front porch was wonderful. Kids enjoyed playing in the yard, on the beach and on the rocks in the ocean. Would stay here again without any hesitation.

Beach getaway

All three generations thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Having grown up in Madison, it was fun to stay in one of the original beachhouses I remember from my childhood, and to show my grandchildren around town. The kids particularly loved swimming and exploring the rocks and tidal pools - just as my siblings and I did so many years ago!

We had a fantastic time at this gem of a home. Everything you could ask for in a say at the beach. Well kept, clean, and private. Walk to several restaurants or Madison town center. Easy drives to other locations. Renee and Bryan were incredible communicators and very responsive.

Magical spot on the Connecticut coast

We enjoyed every minute of our stay. So close to town yet quiet and peaceful with our private view of LI Sound from the porch, the master and the kitchen. We had a family emergency and were still able to relax a bit by virtue of this gem of a home. Thank you!
