House was perfect and in a great location. It was clean, well-stocked and had everything you might need - either winter or summer. The owner was incredibly helpful. Unqualified highest recommendation

A really lovely “shabby chic”cottage styled for easy summer living. I stayed two nights to gain easy access to the beach without going far from my home nearby. Fun idea! The bed was comfortable, the bathroom is very nice, The living area is pretty with a great table and four chairs. Tv is well set up. The Kitchen is ok, no ice machine, so be prepared. My only critique would be to have that one cupboard filled with a nicer assortment of dishes and especially glassware instead of looking like it was collected from someone’s leftovers. The host, Jeff, is 100% attentive when needed!

This spot couldn’t be better! Bright and sunny. Spacious bedroom, bathroom, living area and kitchen. Great appliances in kitchen if you choose to cook. Short walk to Southport beach. Perfect private location. Stellar area for a bike ride (bikes provided) . Tons of fabulous restaurants and shops. We stayed for two weeks and it wasn’t enough. Can’t wait to return. Our host, Jeff, did so much to make our stay remarkable.

our stay was for personal reasons as we are born and raised in CT and have family here. We had beautiful weather, we were two minutes from the beach, and centrally located to 95 and the Merritt parkway. Everything was very close, especially the little village of Southport with Sammy's pizza and the little bakery Sono. Overall the stay was great and the cottage was wonderful. it me all our needs. Thanks to Jeff for being such a great host.
