Lovely Cottage

Lovely little cottage in a pretty, quiet neighborhood. Once you find it down the little lane, it's a great location to be in. Not far from town and close to the water, we really enjoyed relaxing at the house and in the backyard. Highly recommend.

Beautiful cottage; excellent location

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The cottage is beautifully decorated and very conveniently located for exploring Old Saybrook. We enjoyed the use of the bikes and firepit and greatly appreciated the wonderful restaurant recommendations provided by the owners. We look forward to returning in the future!

Cove Cottage #1 Fan!!!

We stayed over Thanksgiving weekend to reunite (finally!) with extended family. This home was warm, cozy, beautifully decorated, and exceeded all my expectations! The energy was inviting and comfortable, the space was immaculate, and frankly I didn’t want to leave :-) Highly recommend *****

Calm, Comfortable Oasis

Our family of four greatly enjoyed our stay at Ali and Jim's cottage, found it to be even better and more spacious than expected and would not hesitate to return. It was a perfectly relaxing base for the last four days of our vacation. The level of quietness the cottage provided is unsurpassed by most vacation rentals, as it is nestled in the middle of a secluded residential neighborhood which is nonetheless right across from an upscale oceanside resort. The decor is tasteful and serene. The ultra-modern, highly efficient air conditioning units offered almost instant temperature control, the beds were comfortable and we all slept very well. It felt like an indulgence for my husband and I to have the large master suite upstairs all to ourselves, while our two older teenagers each had their own private bedroom downstairs. Two bathrooms are a plus for any family with teenagers, too! The futon in one of the downstairs bedrooms is much bigger and more bed-like than the description indicates. The huge wraparound counter in the kitchen was handy to eat and organize all our stuff on, and the washer and dryer were greatly appreciated and in frequent use. Beaches, excellent restaurants and other attractions are close by in all directions, and we especially loved the convenience of being able to grab gourmet-quality prepared meals from Pasta Vita a few miles north and have them all ready for us in the fridge, for times when we wanted to eat in. This cottage is quite a find!

Issues, issues, issues

Although a nice place, I had several issues. When I realized I was getting automated responses thru the messaging system it was futile to continue. I called the owner, Ali, who never returned my call. It was impersonal. Loved being with my mom, sis, and daughter for a week. Beaches close by. Casinos close. Shopping and restaurants close. It might sleep six people, but definitely not comfortably! Tiny sitting area with loveseat and chair. 2 beach towels. Spiders. Bird poo all over backyard furniture. Tall grass and lots of overgrown weeds. No dishwasher…and no dish soap. Could not get to bikes in back of shed. Heavy and full garbage can. Very dirty filter in upstairs mini split. I expected more for the price I paid.

Cute little cottage in a great location. Well set up for my wife and I and our two pups who enjoyed the fenced in back yard. Only complaint is that the parking was a little weird. The neighbors I suspect are being purposefully difficult and parking their cars in such a manner that it makes it difficult for the tenant of this property to back up and leave.

Lovely Get-Away

I was in the area for my niece's college graduation at Wesleyan University and loved the chance to explore this beautiful part of the country. Being so close to the water in Old Saybrook was amazing, and the house itself was both fresh and cozy. The hosts were very responsive, and the only issue (which they acknowledged in advance) was that a portion of the fence was missing, due to a recent storm. That said, they were up front and apologetic, knowing that I'd booked because my dogs were along. Overall, it was a darling place with nice amenities.

Location/ Privacy

We had a wedding at the Saybrook Inn and decided to stay here for 3 nights. What a fantastic home, very cute, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it strongly, it’s pretty much a no-brainer everything you need is within the home, including a nice weber grill outside. I really don’t know what more you can ask for.

Grammie’s Great Adventure

Clean, uncluttered, fenced yard, close to beach, great neighborhood for walking, quiet, everything we needed. Totally forgot how much work it is taking a 5 month old (and a 5 year old) to the beach; so great that Harvey’s Beach is less than 10 mins away. Perfect 5 day getaway for my daughter, grandchildren and me!

COMFY COTTAGE IN OLD SAYBROOK

We loved staying at Cove Cottage ! Plus our 14 year young Jack Russell, who can show anxiety when traveling, was relaxed and cozy here! It is the questional New England Cottage comfy! Ali & Jim, were available for questions, but left us to enjoy the home! Close to great walks, golf, restaurants, and shopping! Oh by the way, there is the Long Island sound, with great beaches only a short drive or walk away. For a quiet retreat near the shore, consider Cove Cottage!

Wonderful House in Great Location

My family - three adults and one dog - spent several days (but not long enough!) at this delightful home. It was very clean, very comfortable, nicely decorated, and smartly set up - we had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. The fenced in backyard was an additional plus - I enjoyed sitting in the shade of the umbrella on the patio while my dog basked in the sunshine on the grass. The location is just perfect. The hosts were responsive and thoughtful - thank you to them for making everything so welcoming. We look forward to returning.
