The location is perfect - walk to the beach easily with little ones. If wasn't sleeping, I was sitting on the front porch on a comfy settee, watching people walk by. Met and spoke with the owners who were lovely as well as attentive. However - I was surprised at the lack of basics - I have rented many times before (not sure if via VRBO or what) and there have always been beach chairs, decent dishes, good place to sit outside,out door shower etc. Grill was unusable (to us) as were coffee pots. Next year we are going to look at Guilford or another Shoreline - maybe Madison has just gotten out of my price range.

Magical spot

We returned for a second year and it was as wonderful as the first. The beach, the salt marsh and the whole area make for a perfect vacation. The house has a summer cottage feel which is what we wanted, and a great screened porch. Host Gene could not be nicer.

Amazing place in Madison!

We really enjoyed our stay at this house in Madison CT just a short walk to one of the best beaches in the area. The neighborhood is very quiet and safe. Just up the street there's access to Hammonasset Beach State Park walking paths The house is comfortable and cozy with a nice backyard with a table and chairs for outdoor dining. It's just what we needed for a peaceful getaway. The owners, Gene and Susan, were very accommodating and went out of their way to let us stay there on such short notice.

Great neighborhood, just a few minutes' walk to the beach.

This home is older but comfortable and clean. Excellent location for the price. Great place for walking, relaxing, and enjoying quiet time on the porch. Easy walk to a private beach makes it all worthwhile! Madison is a great little town, just a short drive to gift shops, restaurants, bookstore, ice cream, and grocery store.

location location location!

So close to everything I am looking for in a summer retreat—an uncrowded beach just a walk away, a short bike ride to downtown treats (a hometown cinema, ice cream parlor and fantastic bookstore to name a few) with shoreline views along the way! That's why I return year after year.

Great stay near the beach

Rustic property that is a very short walk to the uncrowded beach on a dead end road. Large shade trees in front keep the enclosed porch cool and comfy with a light breeze always blowing. Greenway Trail is a very short walk as well and runs through Hammonasset Park. We plan to stay again next summer.

Another great beach vacation with my grandson

This was my 4th year staying at this house. It is quaint and on a very quiet road. A very short walk to the end of the road to the beach. The house was equipped with minimal provisions but you can make do with it if you are a couple. The owner was very easy to get hold of if you need to. I will definitely return there. Gene is a great host checking in before and after my stay.

Great place to make family beach memories!

Once again my grandson and I stayed at this property for a week this summer. We loved the short walk to the beach. The house was great for the two of us. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. Gene was very accommodating. It was easy to book online. I did recommend it to other people looking for a beach rental.

Lovely getaway with the perfect location

We had an outstanding week at this cute and well-appointed home. Its location is perfect in terms of being close to everything yet private, plus part of a beautiful neighborhood with easy access to a lovely beach. The front room is generous and perfect for playing games at the large dining room table or enjoying the generous TV from very comfortable seating. The kitchen has everything you need. Gene was wonderful to work with! We feel lucky to have found this gem.

Clean, quaint, but not terribly comfortable

This is a great location! Kitchen is fine, and the two bathrooms are updated, but the rest of the house lacks comfort. Whether it’s the mattresses, front porch, furniture, or living room furniture, they all need to get updated or replaced. It had a working grill, but the outside furniture is sparse. Wonderful hosts that communicate well.

Great location but needs a lot of attention

This was our second stay at the property. I don’t like to be negative but the house seems to be neglected. I don’t think the carpets have been properly cleaned, there is a strong pet odor. Several blinds are broken or missing, we had to hang towels over the windows. The mattresses are in need of replacement and the very old window AC units make a lot of noise. Had to turn it off to sleep. With the large increase in price over last year we were disappointed to see that conditions had deteriorated instead of improved.

Wonderful fall beach vacation

I have a special perspective on this cottage as it is the one we spent summers in when I was a boy, and the memories were powerful. I'm happy that it has not been turned into a beach McMansion like so many in Madison. It still has that summer cottage feeling, while offering everything we needed. It is on the edge of a large healthy salt marsh full of birds. The host, Gene, could not have been better or more friendly. He quickly came with a new microwave to replace a nonfunctional one. The beach at the end of Pent Rd is beautiful for sitting or swimming. A tidal creek that drains the salt marsh separates it from Hammonasset, and the creek takes a different path every year, so the beach is different. If you make your way up the creek when the tide is flowing out you can get a very fun ride out to sea (don't if you're not a strong swimmer used to currents). At low tide you can walk to Hammonasset, Our summer place has been Provincetown. We may be making some changes :)

OLF LOCK COMBINATION FROM MANY YEARS CAUSING A INTERRUPTED BREAK IN. NO LIGHTS ON STAIRS.

LAST YEAR WE STAYED AT THE SAME PROPERTY ENJOYING OUR STAY. 7 TH DAY SOME FEMAL IN ARMY UNIFORM WAS CAUGHT TAPPING IN THE CODE TO THE LOCK. SHE SAID SHE WAS A DOG SITTER, WE NEVER CALLED FOR SERVICES, SHE KEPT ASKING ABOUT THE ADDRESS NOT OUR NAMES. SHE WAS LOOKING AT A PAGE LISTING ONLY ADDRESSES AND LOCK CODES. SHE WAS ON ACTIVE DUTY, YOU CANNOT BE EMPLOYED ON ACTIVE DUTY AND IN UNIFORM. I CONTACTED THE MADISON POLICE AND MR. GOODMAN IMMEDIATELY. THE POLICE SAID THEY WOULD PUT A LOOK OUT FOR HER VEHICLE DESCRIPTION TO AUTHORITIES. MR. GOODMAN CALLED LATE THE NEXT DAY. I TOLD HIM OF THE SITUATION AND HE WAS NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT CHANGING THE COMBINATION ON THE KEY PAD UNTIL HE WAS AT THE PROPERTY SEVERAL DAYS LATER. I CANNOT LEAVE THE HOUSE KNOWING SHE HAD OUR CODE AND RETURN WHEN THE CAR ABSENT. I DID NOT LEAVE THE HOUSE ALONE FOR THE REMAINDER OF 5 DAYS BECAUSE I WAS AFFRAID AND THOUGHT I MADE THIS PERFECTLY CLEAR TO MR. GOODMAN. WE FROM THEN ON HAD FOOD DELIVERY; MY SPOUSE HAD TO GO THE SHORE BY HIMSELF. WE HAD NO VACATION THE ENTIRE SECOND WEEK. THERE WERE NO LIGHTS ON THE STEEP STAIRCASE OR IN THE VERY DARK HALLWAY ON THE SECOND FLOOR. YOU HAD TO CALL AN ELECTRICIAN TO FIX THE APPLIANCES W BULBS COULD NOT BE REPLACED. BATHROOM LIGHT REMAINED ENTIRELY ON. I WANT A REFUND FOR THE LAST WEEK WE WERE NOT SECURE.

A really wonderful week at this Madison Beach House.

This house is old-fashioned and not updated, in a way that was pleasing to me. Very clean and located in a quiet charming neighborhood. Out-fitted with what you need for a comfortable stay. Just walk down the lane to the sea or a few hundred yards in the other direction to the stunning salt marsh. Gene was so immediately responsive to questions and helpful. I even left some things behind and he and his wife were so nice about sending them back, not that I would recommend leaving things behind..... A

Home Away from Home

I've been staying here enough times that it actually feels like my "home away from home!" Very relaxed, comfortable and close to the beach, in a lovely, friendly neighborhood. It's not too far from my actual home in CT, but it always feels like I'm a million miles away!

Great little old-school cottage

It was in a great location for me, just a short walk down the block to a private beach and very short drive to town for supplies. Gene was very nice. The place had everything I needed with a pinch of that old-school beach cottage funkyness that makes it interesting - like the shower being on the main floor with the bedrooms upstairs. very comfortable bed. Air conditioners in each bedroom and the living room kept the place cool.
