Perfect weekend
Barbara was great very quick at responding. Location was center of everything we did. Pool and deck was relaxing just watching the boats and enjoying the water. Would definitely go back there.

This was our forth stay at what we affectionally call the "River House". Every year a couple of my daughter's Young adult friends join us and they look forward this vacation as much as we do. Upon entering the house, we are greeted by a spotless and fresh smelling house. We quickly run to the large row of windows to enoy the beautiful view of the river , boats, and the sparkling pool waiting for swimmers. It doesn't take long until we all jump in! We might go out to eat once but we enjoy cooking, grilling and eating at the house. We have everything needed for preparing meals and eating comfortably with a lovely view of the river. After a fun day we have plenty of room and comfortable couches to relax in front of the big screen tv in the living room before going to bed. We get a very comfortable nights rest. This is a place that we always love coming back to and I know that you will enjoy it just as much! Everything is provided for your comfort.Lydia Newtom: August 2-7 2025.

Location, location, location
We spent a week at this property with family visiting from Montana. They loved the tidal river views and the crabs they found right at the little beach. The swimming pool got a big lot of use and the pool toys did fine. The grassy yard beside the house was plenty big for a Wiffle Ball tournament.Parking was adequate for our three smallish cars, and when family from Connecticut came to visit, onstreet parking was easy. Linens and towels were plentiful and in good condition, as were the dishes and pots and pans. The kitchen appliances and washer and dryer were in good working order. Tuesday garbage pickup went smoothly.The house is no more than 10 minutes from a nice Stop and Shop and a bunch of very enjoyable restaurants. (We recommend Fat Tuna and the Flanders Fish Market and the very informal Skipper's, along with Gumdrops and Lollipops and the local Dairy Queen.)We invested in passes to the Waterford Town Beach (20 minutes distant), a lovely Soundfront location, although the nearby Hole-in-the-Wall Beach would have done us well.Our only complaints were a very soft mattress in the master suite and some ants in the kitchen.

The Perfect Mix
This is our second year staying here. Labeled it "the perfect mix" because it has everythng. We all loved the pool and the river view. The kids, ages 3, 8 and 9 loved the little beach area in front of the house to explore. Lots of room in the house, layout is perfect. We didn't want to leave and plan ti come back next summer! Barbara is so wonderful!

Second visit was better than the first
This is an amazing property that has everything a family could need. Arrival was painless. Beds were all made, more than enough towels for countless swims in the pool. The first view nights were a bit cold (June in Connecticut) so the extra throw blankets were very welcome. The kitchen is better equipped than my own. Whole family loved the pool, launch paddle boats and kayaks out the back and playing ball in the side yard. This place is perfect and we hope to be back soon.

Graduation Trip
Beautiful location on the river. Great place for a local college graduation we attended. Even caught some fish off the dock.

Nice property , wonderful host
The property had just been rained on for many days. It was hard to see the outside for a bit. After the a few days we realized how beautiful the property was. It is something that should be enjoyed in warmer months to fully get the effect of it. We usually rent on the ocean, this was different, nice different, you kinda watch all the boats and shenanigans of the people going out on the water. I greatly appreciated the attention to detail; foil , baggies, sponge, soap…ect. I have rented many properties on the water and most do not have those necessities. We left the house as we found it if not better, that’s what all renters should do, treat it as if it is your own

Sunrise over the bay
The location and amenities exceeded our expectations. Beautiful setting, great neighborhood, friendly neighbors and perfect location for our itinerary. And the weather couldn’t have been better-though it was a little early for fall colors.
