Lovely cottage - dog friendly

My son goes to boarding school nearby - this place was great for me and the dog for a couple days. Big fenced yard and water and food bowls were there for use! The dog and cleaning fee were almost more than the stay, so it makes more sense for longer stays (I was only there two).

Quick change of scenery to end school year

Wanted to get away to celebrate the end of school but stay close enough to get teenagers to work. This was perfect. Really appreciate being able to take the dog with us.

Fun beach cottage

We had a great stay in this very cute and cozy beach cottage. Our 2 dogs loved the fenced in back yard and made us throw a ball for several hours over our 3 night stay! The location is great with only a few steps to the beach and close to town for anything you may need. The kitchen was very well stocked and the washer and dryer were a nice bonus! The hosts were very accommodating when we requested an early check-in and were very responsive. We will definitely stay again.

Great baby moon getaway!

Amazing property and relaxing weekend! 😄 Host was accommodating and responded promptly. Disappointed with accuracy of listing regarding the spa tub and picture/listing of canoe. Planned a canoe day and was unable due to no canoe on property. Dog loved the yard and enjoyed her stay too!

Great place to stay!

Excellent cottage in a great area of Old Saybrook. We lived in OS for over 30 years and came home to see our family and were not disappointed. It was like being home again. The cottage was warm and welcoming. We will definitely stay there again next time we are in town!!

Fabulous Stay!

The house was exactly what was described. It was very clean, cozy, and filled with additional amenities that made our stay feel like home. The house was so convenient and in a great beach community with just a short walk to the beach. The fenced in yard was perfect for our dog to enjoy playing ball and running. All in all a great little treasure in a wonderful place. We loved it!

5 stars! Listing doesn’t do it justice!

My family of 4 including two toddlers plus our dog had a fantastic stay! The cottage is much bigger than it appears in the listing. The bedroom had plenty of space for a pack ‘n play plus a toddler air mattress. They had every amenity we could need and the house was immaculate. We enjoyed grilling and the fenced in backyard. The beach wagon was awesome! Short 5 minute walk to the beach with a couple other beaches around the corner. We loved walking out to the sandbars during low tide. Everyone in the neighborhood was also very nice. Wonderful stay, thank you!

Vacation

Me and my two adult nieces and our little Schnauzer doggie enjoy our vacation in old Saybrook, Ct very much. The cottage was perfect for the three of us, spacious, clean and accessible to restaurants, shopping and sightseeing. The backyard was perfect for the doggie to run and get exercise after a long car ride. The only disappointment was the beach, it is many steps to the beach and very small and the dog was not allowed. I would stay again if I wasn’t planning on going to the beach.

Great Stay in Saybrook Manor

The cottage at Saybrook Manor is a great place to stay. Everything is new and well organized/thought out. The kitchen is well appointed, the bed is comfy and the bathroom well supplied with toiletries, towels and washer/dryer. The beach at the end of the lane has beautiful views. When I stayed there in December it was way too cold to spend time there, but in the summer it looks like it’d be an ideal spot to take a dip and soak up some sun. Highly recommended.

Sweet spot

We needed a quiet space to cater our daughter’s surprise birthday in the next town. This little cottage is on a quiet lane with the ocean at the end of the lane. The house had all we needed. The back yard has a place to sit and soak up the sunshine, and would be great with little kids. As it is fenced in. Thank you !

A happy holiday stay

The cottage is well equipped and spacious. There was plenty of seating for our family holiday get together and for our 2 dogs and their crates. The yard is pet safe and the neighborhood is great for walking. The YouTube video explains pretty much everything. Also, we were there for some very cold weather so also have to give the heating system 5 stars!!
