About this property

Newly Renovated House - 5 Minute Walk to Private Beach!

This adorable ranch has everything you could possibly want while on vacation! The newly renovated, 2-bedroom, 2 bath house is just a 5 minute walk to the private Fenwood Beach. The spacious living area welcomes you with an open floor plan that unites a comfy seating area with a double reclining sofa for TV viewing (with USB ports), a dry bar complete with mini-fridge, "stadium seating" for snacking while enjoying the game, as well as, a dining room table that seats eight comfortably. The fully equipped kitchen features all of the expected appliances, plus a Keurig Coffee/Latte/Cappuccino machine and a Cuisinart mini-oven that broils, bakes, toasts, convection bakes, and air-fries. There are granite countertops and plentiful cabinet storage including a pantry. The kitchen is supplied with dishware, cookware, and even some hostess pieces. Everything is ready for your use. The house also has Wi-Fi for those of you who want to stay connected.

Down the hall you will find the guest bath with newly tiled walk-in shower and next to it, the Coral guest bedroom with a queen bed, TV, DVD player, and ample storage for your clothing.

Across the hall is the main bedroom with a queen bed, two closets, TV, DVD player, and a beautiful en-suite bathroom with double sinks and a large walk-in shower with a glass barn door. This luxurious shower features a shower head that can raised or lowered, a rain shower head, and three back jets! This shower is a vacation in itself!

Outside, you can relax on the covered patio (with party lights at night) or dine al fresco. There is plenty of room for games in the yard, too. The family grill master will be in his glory as he cooks dinner on the gas grill.

BREAKING NEWS! The new recreation room is completed! This room includes a sofa/bed, large screen TV, several games and children's books, a foosball/air hockey table, and a slot machine for entertainment! More space for more fun!

While here, don’t forget to explore the Old Saybrook area! There are multiple places to eat, a quaint downtown area, a train station, shopping, ice cream, and mini-golf. Speaking of golf, bring your clubs as the Fenwick Golf Course is open to the public year-round (weather permitting) and is just down the street from the house.

As your hosts, your safety is of the utmost importance to us. Prior to your arrival, a professional housekeeper cleans the home using the recommended cleaning supplies and practices.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions about the area or the home. It would be our pleasure to share any information you need to make your stay more comfortable.

Fun in Old Saybrook
This was a much needed respite for my family. Betty was wonderful throughout the entire process and answered all of our questions. She left thoughtful surprises for my family as well. The property was well maintained, everything was clean and perfectly described. The master shower has features I never knew that I missed in a shower. Betty left games, toys and books for the kids. The recreation room has indoor fun and the outdoor space is perfect for relaxing and eating. The beach is beautiful and right down the street. Old Saybrook has a cute downtown and many eating and entertainment options. This was a lovely vacation and we can't thank Betty and Ron enough.

Staying near the sea!
Old Saybrook was a charming community. This vacation rental was well situated within walking distance of a private beach. The home was very clean and well stocked with kitchen items Please remember that linens are not supplied for your vacation. You also will not have access to a washer or dryer.

Simple a d M perfect
This is not the first time we’ve rented in Saybrook, but the first time we’ve stayed at this particular location. The house is in a perfect location and in a quiet neighborhood. The beach within walking distance was not compared me to the town beach, but it is cute to walk to at night and enjoy the view. The house, itself, is exactly as it was described. It is very clean and it has all the essentials, although a washer and dryer, in my opinion, would have been helpful with beach towels and all. Betty (and Ron) we were gracious hosts and communicated with us as needed. We would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Betty and Ron Miller

Host profile image
Hi! My name is Betty. I grew up in VT, but lived in FL and SC before moving to CT. My husband, Ron, and I met online (yup, we did) and fell in love 22 years ago. I am a retired Speech/Language Pathologist and he is in Marketing and Sales. We have a lovely daughter (from his previous marriage) who is married and living in Nevada. We enjoy traveling, meeting new people, dancing, and spending time with friends and family.
We started vacationing in Old Saybrook in 2012 but have also spent time in Myrtle Beach, Beaufort, SC, Savannah, Rhode Island, and Rehoboth Beach, DE.

Why they chose this property

We have loved renting in the Old Saybrook area for many years and always wanted to own a home here. It started becoming more and more difficult to find rentals and when all of our vacations were cancelled in 2020 due to COVID, we decided that we needed to get our own vacation home. So, what do you do during a pandemic? You buy a beach home! LOL! This house popped on the market and our Super Agent, Josie, got it for us. Since then, we have done a ton of renovations, including making a spa-like bath where a small bedroom was. It is luxurious! We also tore down the wall (halfway) that separated the living room from the rest of the house. Many more improvements were done which we're sure you will appreciate.
Now we can walk to the beach any time we want without having to drive an hour + to go home. The walk along the sea wall is spectacular and just what one needs to boost the spirit!

What makes this property unique

A five minute walk through a lovely, quiet, residential neighborhood brings you to the beach. From there, you can enjoy the view from the many benches along the walkway. There are two lighthouses that you can see easily from here.
Or, you can go down the steps to the private Fenwood Beach and go for a dip or have lunch at one of the picnic tables (bring your own food and leave nothing behind). Enjoy a walk along the sea wall with spectacular vistas of Long Island Sound. On clear days, you can see Long Island very well (bring binoculars and you can see another lighthouse).
Sometimes there are sailboats that you can watch gliding on the water so gracefully. Being at the sea, listening to the waves, watching the commorants doing their dives... a calm comes over you...the negative ions doing their job. Ahhhhhh....
