Contact me even if dates are showing unavailable as I have a similar historic and beautiful property nearby.


Artist's own beautiful spacious 2,200 sq ft home, historic property used to be a button factory at the beginning of last century.

šŸ‘IDEAL FOR REUNIONS, WEDDINGS AND FAMILY GATHERINGSā¤

Available on a monthly base during December - May

For weddings check our (even) larger historic property, Capt. Nathaniel Clarke Inn on the SpacesOftheHeart site.

Quiet central location on a dead-end street with very few neighbors, on the bank of the West River, perfectly situated 1/4 mile or 5 min. walk from the historic and beautiful town center. "The Green"(Note: website erroneously calculates 0.9 mile from center) , restaurants, shops and social activities. 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and sleeps 8, max. Close to the beach, with passes (10 min. drive). The house is tastefully designed with original art, collectibles and local treasures.

This home has a gorgeous and fully equipped kitchen and a nice and large deck with a grill, plenty of outdoor furniture and picnic table. Fire pit in the huge and beautiful yard, with plenty of comfortable lawn chairs. Driveway fits up to 4 cars, street parking available.

The large yard is across from the West River and peaceful tidal marshes. Herons, gulls, shore birds are regular visitors. Popular spot for bird-watching!

Inside, the house features a Flatscreen TV, Wood-burning fireplace, comfortable arm chairs, bookshelves filled with wonderful books by local authors. The home is decorated with original artwork and quirky beach-comber decor such as shells, sea-glass, driftwood sculptures and vintage furnishings. The house boasts original, wide-board pine floors and Original, chestnut mantle.

Coffee shops, restaurants, galleries, local library, shoppes... and charming Guilford Town Green are all just a short walk away.

This home has a unique history of early Americana. The property was originally built in 1860 as a button factory. Early American fashions of the late 1700's to mid-1800's required many buttons on both male and female garments. Buttons were even essential to underwear, shoes, corsets and women's basque waist. Buttons of the time period were made of ivory, bone, shell, wood, stone, glass, whale bone or animal horn. This property was originally built as a factory, producing and selling buttons to clothiers of the Guilford and CT shoreline area. The colonial character of this property has been preserved, yet it features the modern conveniences you expect in a vacation home.

The price is right for this house! We ensure the property is clean, crisp, welcoming and affordable for guests.

This property was perfectly situated As we had a wedding in Branford and did not want to pay for three hotel rooms! It is well located, only a few minutes walk to the town center in Guilford. There was plenty of room for 5 adults, wifi certainly appreciated. We spent some lovely mornings and evenings on the enjoyed our visit very much.

'We had a wonderful time at this lovely home in Guilford. We found the home to be cozy, comfortable and beautifully decorated. We will definitely stay here again in the future. We loved being able to walk to town to the Green, shoppes, restaurants, etc. I would definitely recommend this home to my friends and family. And the woman we worked with was also so sweet and helpful.'

Four day stay
The property is very quaint and on a deadend street close to town. Definitely within walking distance. Center of town has shops and restaurants. During our stay there was an art festival so that was nice. The home had room air conditioning on the main and upstairs which kept us cool on all levels. The deck has several sitting areas that we used. The kitchen was well stocked. The bath on the main had ample towels and plenty of hot water in shower. The upstairs had a tub shower but all used the shower on the main. The beds were very comfortable. There was an issue getting into the property because the instructions were outdated in terms of code to get in and landlordā€™s phone number, but her new number was listed elsewhere and we were able to reach her and get in after a short while. She was quick to respond to contact and pleasant.

Great for families
We had a wonderful week at the Button House. The house had everything we needed and the location was extremely convenient to the beach and stores. Having multiple beach passes was a godsend since we had both early and late risers in our group. The house was immaculate. Just one suggestion. The only silverware was a set of six table settings - it would be wonderful to have more. There were six of us, so we had to wash silverware after every meal, even if the dishwasher was nearly empty.

The house is comfortable and beautifully clean. There were five adults and one infant in our group, and all were happy with the arrangements.
