Great Place to Relax
Our stay at this property was generally wonderful. The neighborhood is quiet and very walkable and there are grocery stores and restaurants within just a few miles. And Mystic CT and Essex CT (you have to stroll the Main Street shops in Essex) are a short car ride away. The star of the house is the view from the family room, back patio, 2nd floor bedroom, and the 3rd floor bedroom deck. So gorgeous. There was a glitch when we arrived and the owners were super nice and responsive. We worked things out very quickly. Just a few things to keep in mind. The bedroom on the second floor is spacious, has a full wall of windows showcasing the water and spectacular sunrises and sunsets, but its floors are warped/slanted. You cannot see it but you can feel it walking around the bedroom. The main bedroom on the top level is cozy and the outdoor deck off the bedroom is fantastic for watching birds on the water or just looking at the waves, but the third-floor bathroom is tiny. It works for one person, but it is tight. Lastly, as some other reviewers have noted, the home is right on a small beach but the tide makes the beach unusable for most of the day. So, if you are planning to walk the beach, you’ll have a short window to do so. But - in warm weather, you can still sit on the back patio facing the water and chill out even if the tide is too high to be on the beach. In summary, we had a very relaxing time!
