    The Cottage was chosen as one of the top ten unique places to stay in Ct.
    'Awesome Cottage! Great Owner!
    Absolutely loved this house and will definitely plan on staying here again! My husband is originally from Connecticut and his entire family still lives there. Traditionally we stay with family when we visit but I decided to rent a house this trip so we could entertain and have everyone over. This house was charming and very comfortable. It was my mother in laws 80th birthday and I had about 25 family members over for a dinner party. Every person who entered the house commented on what a terrific cottage it was. Having the upstairs loft was a perfect space for my son to have his privacy and a place to relax. He (and I) loved having the wireless internet connection that worked great! The outdoor area was very private and the deck was a wonderful space to hang out and kick back. Everyone really enjoyed the art work throughout the house and commented that it provided warmth and character to the cottage. Lastly I want to share my comments on the owner Yvette, she was very prompt in her responses to me and a real pleasure to work with through the rental process. Yvette thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us, it was the most memorable visit to Connecticut that our family has ever had. Take care, my best, Julianna (This was the first time I ever rented a home online or used the Home Away site, it was a great experience!)'


    Response

    I have been renting my cottage since 2006. I own the lot next door, a tiny wooded lot, so the back yard is very private. The house is on a private dirt home has a large deck, front porch, fireplace, I provide linens, spices, paper towels, trash bags.

    This is the home I raised my boys in. It was always filled with love....

    Old Saybrook Cottage
    Cottage is very nice - interior is very clean - back deck area can use some TLC - location is excellent - walking distance to small community beach and just a very short drive to public beaches. Awesome location and New England beach town. VRBO photos are a bit outdated - (especially back deck/yard area) -

    Beautifully decorated cottage in a serene setting. Was a perfect getaway for us. We really enjoyed the location, very quiet and peaceful. Yvette made sure everything was perfect for our stay. Was a short walk to a pretty, private beach. This property is even nicer than the photos. Don’t miss out on this one.

    Lovely, charming and well suited cottage in Old Saybrook Manor
    Wonderful location within walking distance of beach/CT shoreline. Cottage is bright, open, well appointed and filled with love & art. This cute home sits on a private, dead-end lane that offers privacy, security and convenience to area beaches, shops, restaurants, daily coffee, groceries, etc while maintaining a secluded and comfortable locale. The owner is easy to communicate with, understanding of your needs and privacy as well as just a very nice, loving & caring human being.
