Comfy Cottage on the Sound

Old-fashioned cottage with modern updates, just a short walk from the beach. Quiet, friendly neighborhood. The hosts take good care of their guests! My favorite part was the view from the back deck, which looks out into a grassy marsh and small river, complete with several osprey checking out a nesting platform. Look forward to staying here again!

Fishing Charter

I and a group of friends stayed at Scott and Mary-Jo's VRBO for a fishing charter we had in Old Saybrook. We were very satisfied with our stay and the VRBO itself. They even made us homemade banana bread! Would highly recommend this VRBO.

The quiet friendly community, the short walk to the ocean, the peaceful back yard that looked on to the marsh and tidal river, the sight of boats, the walks on the nearby sand bars, the comfortable and well stocked cottage, and the accommodating hosts are all great reasons to recommend this cottage as a great place to stay near Old Saybrook.

We couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather or a more serene location to get away from the daily hustle and bustle. The owners gave fantastic suggestions to make the best of our stay, and were a blessing when we accidentally got locked out. The banana bread was a pleasant addition to greet us on our arrival and the neighborhood was welcoming. We absolutely loved our mothers/daughters vacation!

Relaxed and Refreshed

We had a great time staying at this quiet cottage. The owners communicated well, the neighbors were friendly, the cottage was clean and the sunsets were beautiful. Being able to walk to the beach was ideal so we could come and go based on the tide. Hoping this continues to be a rental that we can escape to each year. Thank you Mary-Jo and Scott!
