Killashandra Cottage in Westbrook

Killashandra Cottage: Check our calendar for availability.
"Off season" is a lovely time to visit the Connecticut
shoreline. The area settles back to a relaxed New England small town
atmosphere. The local pubs are great places to meet old friends and
new. If you must leave for the day there is an Amtrak train station in town
providing easy access to NYC or Boston.
A simple word for Killashandra Cottage is "peaceful".
The classic 2007 built,comfortable beach home is located across the street, about 100 feet from the
crimson sands of family friendly Chapman Beach. Water views of Long
Island Sound from all rooms and the front porch. Chapman
Beach is quiet and private, a place families return to year after year.
In the summer, swim, snorkle,
read "beach books" & work on your tan. In the
evening take a stroll, bike or jog the beach roads or just sit in a
rocking chair on the front porch and wait for Daisy, "the ice cream
lady" to come by. Sound too quiet? You can find plenty of night life
here also. The casinos are 30 minute drive away. Plus we have great
restaurants in the area, some like the "Gris" with music and
entertainment.
In the "off-season" listen to the sounds of the
sea and enjoy the solitude of the beach. Chapman Beach is an old
fashion, "laid-back" place year round.
