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.

This was a great home by the water. Kitchen was fully stocked, a plethora of bed linens, towels, hand towels, and so much more. Checkin was easy as was checkout. Everything was as described. Lots of games! A short walk down to the beach was so nice. The house is in a very quiet and relaxing area. Would absolutely recommend!

Great Stay!
We were a family of 6 and throughly enjoyed staying in the house over the thanksgiving break. We had all the things we needed to have a great thanksgiving. We had no complaints but the host did charge us for damages that we didn’t have anything to do with. It is an older home and we didn’t want to be nit picky about cracked/ broken furniture.

Spacious vintage cottage
Clean and roomy cottage close to beach. Appreciated the central AC as our 2 week stay was hot and humid. Fern is a gracious and conscientious host who made sure everything was in order as promised. Great neighborhood close to many fine restaurants and other activities. Would have liked more of a sandy beach rather than rocky but otherwise a perfect stay.
