We stayed there for a conference at Water's Edge. The house was very lovely and clean, equipped with everything that we needed. It has a bath tab which I really enjoyed. The owner was very supportive in communication. Thank you for letting us stay!

Fabulous beach house!

Everything was perfect! Floating chairs in garage and wagon made it great for the beach! Love the cement walkway to beach. Property manager Fern promptly answered my questions and was very kind with my requests! Would love to stay here again!

Perfect Long Weekend Get Away

This was the perfect place to stay over the long Columbus Day weekend. From check-in to check-out, everything was wonderful. I actually think that it was better than what the photos portray. The kitchen was generously stocked with spices, condiments, and all of the cooking equipment any foodie would need. The house is located in a quiet and well maintained neighborhood just a block from the beach. Old Saybrook is just down the main street to the east. We felt right at home and will definitely consider this Westbrook house when we visit southeastern Connecticut again. Thanks Fern!

Wonderful time

Had a fantastic time. House completely equipped with everything needed. Spotless when we arrived. AC was on and worked well on the 90 + days. Extended family 3 - 72 enjoyed the beach, much like Maine. We launched the canoe several times and explored the salt mash on the far left of the beach. Older children enjoyed swimming out to "Whale Rock" and jumping off at high tide. Fern's welcome book was very complete and helpful. Neighbors very friendly with suggestions also. Wonderful time had by all. Be sure to return next year.

Quaint, cozy home in charming summer community

We loved our stay here and appreciate Fern's prompt and warm communication. Everything was as described and as we expected. There are four similarly sized bedrooms upstairs, with one shared full bathroom with shower. Downstairs there is another large bathroom with a tub (no shower). There is laundry in the mudroom/entry, and an outdoor shower to use when in season. The kitchen and dining room provided ample space, as did the living room with comfortable chairs, a fireplace and a sizable dining table, plus an enclosed porch. All in all, there was plenty of room for our family of 5 to spread out, and we enjoyed every aspect of the house. It was a rainy weekend, but we did walk down to the beach along the path just outside the house, through a large grassy area. It was peaceful and picturesque. The streets are quiet and the homes well-kept in this quaint, seaside neighborhood. Thank you Fern!

Yale Graduation

We all enjoyed the historic, clean, and perfectly located home. Though we stayed prior to the main summer season, the weather was beautiful and we enjoyed the 5 minute walk to the beach. Essex was fun to explore, and the Water’s Edge Resort was a convenient 0.5 mile away. It was nice to get away from New Haven in between all the graduation festivities to our little beach retreat!

Christmas 2024

Perfect location to spend the holidays with family and friends. Lots of room and a short walk to the beach, which you can see from the sunroom. Older home with neat history. House was clean with a nice size lot in a quiet neighborhood. Hostess was very accommodating and responsive. Enjoyed our stay and will be back for sure.

Making Memories in comfortable family home!

We had our family of 7 (and two nights had 9) stay a week at this property and had a most enjoyable time. The neighborhood is so pleasant and quiet and the view from the yard was just what we all needed -- just a short walk to the beach! When we checked in we did encounter a problem with the cleanliness of a couple rooms but I let the owner know right away and she responded immediately with apologies and a small credit to our total cost. We really appreciated that and our family felt right at home and enjoyed the house a great deal. The history of the home was interesting to read about and it made it special for our family to spend time in a home you could tell is very loved by many. Will definitely look into going back for more memories!

Fantastic find

Great spot, easy to get to. Very quiet and friendly neighborhood. Loved being in a house with a large yard instead of a cottage with a minuscule patch of grass. Lots of room and very clean. My husband is already considering it for next year!

Graduation celebration

We were in the area for our adult child's graduation from law school. What a comfortable place for five adults and one dog to come home to after events and festivities. We enjoyed gathering in the porch area as it rained gently. Gathering on the side lawn for gift giving when the sun came out. Snuggling on the comfy living room furniture in the evening to watch a show or sporting event.Walking to the water, and even taking a cold dip! The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed to make brunch. I felt so at ease and at home here. Fern was quick to respond to any question or request. It was a hard place to leave.

Just what we needed

This house was perfect for us. We love Westbrook and have come to know the area well over the years due to friends of ours having family houses in the area. This property was centrally located to our favorite stops such as Atlantic Seafood, Johnny Ads, not to mention a quick grocery run to the Big Y. At the house itself, it is a quick walk to the private beach, with a bonus open backyard that is part of a shared space where you can play catch and other games with the kids. The house also comes with more than you’ll need to play at the beach including chairs and toys and floaties, plus yard fun including cornhole and croquet. We did have one question once arriving and we simply messaged Fern on the VRBO app, to which she replied and helped us in a matter of minutes. This was just what we needed!

Wonderful Ct Beach Property

We recently stayed at this wonderful beach house. The house was clean and comfortable with updated bathrooms. The unexpected part was the setting. The house is in a quiet neighborhood with open backyards and a private walk to the beach area. We spent a lot of time enjoying the beach with the grandkids collecting treasures or playing and enjoying the backyard. We will gladly rent this house in the future.
