Beachfront Cottage: Porch on Long Island Sound

Walk along pristine beaches and a sandbar to explore Charles Island; this quaint cottage is a unique getaway vacation rental for up to 7 guests! Providing 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, this beach home rests in a quiet setting just 2 miles from the beautiful town green area - lined with a variety of restaurants - and offers easy access to boating, fishing, and more waterfront fun. Countless hours await on the beach just outside your door, while New York City is a quick train ride away! -- THE PROPERTY -- Bedroom 1: King Bed | Bedroom 2: 2 Twin Beds | Bedroom 3: 2 Twin Beds | Living Room: Twin Daybed | Additional Sleeping: 2 Traveling Cribs Activities abound for all guests - both young and old - at this cozy, waterfront home-away-from-home. Each morning, step outside the comfortable screened porch to a direct, sandy, private beach and relax along the Connecticut shoreline. When you're not enjoying the crisp, salty breeze from the top-floor or main-level screened porch, the living room offers a wicker daybed and plush armchair - perfect for getting lost in a good book. Connect to the complimentary wireless internet access and plan out the next day's itinerary! Exposed beam ceilings, polished wood-paneled walls, and hardwood floors guide you from room-to-room in the cottage. Head into the well-equipped kitchen to prepare your favorite recipes then set the adjacent, round wooden dining table to share each home-cooked feast. Finish your day with a nightcap along the shore before retreating to your choice of 3 bedrooms. Between a king bed and 4 twin beds total, you'll have ideal arrangements for the whole family. Make sure to wake up early and catch the stunning East Coast sunrise over the water! -- THE LOCATION -- Step out your front door to watch sailboat races, kayakers and boating activities all day long, or head out to explore several notable sites for waterfront recreation just minutes away! The Silver Sands Beach is nearby while the Fort Trumbell Beach is just steps away - both are great for swimming! Take a break from the beach and drive just 2 miles to reach the Milford Green area. Attend the Milford Oyster Festival in Wilcox Park - held, annually, in August - visit the Fowler Memorial Building, and treat yourself at all the tasty restaurants including Stonebridge, SBC, Eli's Tavern, Cafe Atlantique, and several others.
