Rustic Charm
If you love old houses, you'll enjoy your stay here. The cottage has a vintage, quirky vibe--definitely not a Martha Stewart space! The best aspect was the porch overlooking the cove--a perfect place to read, visit and share meals. Even though there are homes very close to the cottage on each side, it was quiet and peaceful. The bathrooms were immaculate and the beds were very comfortable. I failed to notice that the cottage did not have air conditioning and we stayed during a heat wave, so it was quite uncomfortable some days. The upstairs likely got up to over 100 degrees during the day (it literally felt like an oven), but the whole house fans worked wonders and the upstairs was tolerable by the evening. The location of the cottage is ideal. You can quickly get to Hammonasset State Park (where there is a nice beach), the grocery store, coffee houses, restaurants, shops and independent book stores. I also had lovely walks around the neighborhood. Communication with the owner was great before our stay, but she did not respond quickly to two concerns we had during our stay; in one case it took over 24 hours for her to respond. To be fair, she had just lost her property manager, but I would have appreciated a more timely response to my concerns.
