Cottage vacation rentals in Middlesex County

Absolutely loved my stay here. The space was beautiful, peaceful, and had everything I needed. I would definitely come back again!

Great spot for a long weekend! Wonderful location close to the beach and local wineries. Richard was a great host offering lots of recommendations and clear instructions for check in and using available amenities.

Our family of five loved staying at Yoka and Val's place. The location is very quiet with a peaceful pond across the street. The house itself is very clean and comfortable with everything you need - towels, soap, shampoo, conditioner, coffee and spices - easily available. The beds were also very comfortable. The best part, of course, was the private hot tub in the back yard. It was set in a canopy for extra privacy and wind protection. We loved it. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.

This well-appointed space is perfect for two people. Old Lyme is justly famous for its Florence Griswold Museum, as well as one of the better historic main street walking tours. (Currently, there's an exhibit at the museum about Old Lyme's slave-owning past.) And, then, of course, there's the ocean. Remember to ask your hosts about their beach parking pass. P.S. You may also need to bring your own coffee for the drip system.

The place was charming, quaint, and exactly as described. It had a cozy vibe that made it feel like a home away from home. The location was perfect, with easy access to everything I needed. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout my stay. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for an enjoyable experience!

The house was perfect. I felt right at home. Beautiful views. 5 min from town and my family. A view of East Hampton I have never seen. Host was easy to get a hold of. It was a home away from home. I plan to stay again if available when i need it.

Our visit was utilitarian. We needed accommodations for us, our grown children and grandchildren and a dog. But the site of the cottage, its charm, its comfort made us wish we were staying another week. James' thoughtfulness went beyond any other Airbnb hosts' that we've experienced. Everything we might need if we were staying 10 days was there, clean, labeled. Thank you, James.

Looks can be deceiving in the best possible way. Although the house looks tiny, it was very spacious for my family of four. The beach was the perfect distance from the house. A wonderful time on this vacation.

As always, we love our stay at the cottage. It’s becoming our home away from home when visiting our son. Thanks for all our goodies! Always a great surprise! Have a wonderful Christmas. We’ll see you next year I hope.

We had an amazing stay with Sean and Jenny. The property is perfect for a peaceful getaway from the stresses of daily life- unique location, impeccable views, spotless and well furnished house, we were able to unplug and enjoy some nice quality time. Sean is a gracious host, offered lots of local recommendations as well as details of the house that were very helpful. Was responsive for questions and easy to communicate with. Hope to be back one day!

Cheryl's place was adorable! I felt right at home in the cosy open concept living space. My mom crashed the weekend portion of the trip which was nice. My cat Mushu had a wonderful time and we even went outside. The beach was about a four minute walk for me, and a breathtaking view as you approach. Cheryl had everything necessary and mentioned. Next time I'll be sure to bring coffee filters and sugar. There were unexpected amenities too like paper towels and trash bags, and candles. There were also tons of spare toiletries like shaving cream and shampoo and conditioner and body wash. Thanks again!

What an incredible experience! Was a bit hesitant after reading pets were allowed as one of our friends is allergic to dogs and cats - the cottage was super clean and no sign that a “furbaby” had ever been there. Had a personalized welcome letter for our party of 6, and favorite beverages thanks to advance questions and special touches from Mickey. Loved listening to the waves, reading by the fire and getting in a game of ping pong at the outdoor table. Every detail has been considered from the 3 charging stations to the guidebook and more. There are positive quotes and signs in the cottage and we were so relaxed and recharged. Will definitely book again. 5 stars all around! Thank you.

We had a chance to stay at the beautiful beachfront home, and it was amazing. Waking up to Eastern sunrises each morning and dining in nearby Kennebunkport was amazing. The hosts were very responsive and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend!

Linda was a great host. The house sat on a great spot on the beach.

Had a really wonderful time here for my friends’ trip. Kimberly was a communicative and amazing host, and the cottage was clean and well-stocked. The location is also perfect if you are hoping to enjoy some peace and relaxation, with nearby parks and trails available for exploration.

We spent Thanksgiving in the beautiful Joshua cottage. This was one of the best Airb&b stays we have ever had. The hosts were wonderful- making sure we had everything we needed. The spot directly on the water is magical.

Wonderful host, great location, absolutely loved our stay!

One of the best places I have stayed! Grew up staying in the cottages in that area and it was a trip down memory lane. Christine was super friendly and helpful. Loved that she shared this space with us! Close to the beach and great local restaurants with the best seafood!

My wife and I really enjoyed the house. Beautifully remodeled with all the amenities you would need. Plus all the extras for a great beach vacation. The deck was great for morning coffee and it had a gas fire “pit” to enjoy a glass of wine at night. The outdoor shower is a great added bonus. Wonderful walking neighborhood with beautiful scenic overlooks. Short walk to the beach. Many restaurants and quant shops within 5 minutes ride. All in all this is a great place to spend a summer vacation on the Connecticut shore.

The cottage was every bit as charming as the listing. Quiet, clean, updated, and surrounded by beautiful views. We used this as our home base while visiting family in the area for Thanksgiving and it accommodated our family of 5 no problem. It’s cozy but has everything you need.

Very nice home in a great location near the river and ocean. We attended a wedding at Saybrook Point Inn, so this was the perfect location. Host was very responsive and home was as described. Would stay here again.
