Great Weekend Getaway!
5/5 Definitely recommend! We have nothing but great things to say about our trip, starting with this rental apartment. It was absolutely clean, lovely and very interesting. Lots of cool details to this apartment, including the beautiful view of the harbor right outside the bedroom window with comfy reclining chairs to relax and enjoy the view. The grounds are also beautiful and the location was perfect, right in the center of town, with lots of charming shops and good restaurants within a short walking distance. A lovely, interesting, non-touristy town with very friendly people. We definitely enjoyed everything about our stay and will be back. The hosts were very friendly, considerate and outgoing. We're looking forward to our next trip back to Essex!

Great Location and Very Comfortable Accommodations
5/5 Visiting family in the area and this was the perfect location to do it from. Accommodations were very comfortable and looked very nice. Made for a very relaxing atmosphere in our down time and at night. Bed and chairs were all very comfortable, everything was very clean. Lots of great places to eat, grab a drink, coffee or a snack just steps away. Definitly will be back!

Essex trip
5/5 This property was truly unique and the location could not have been any better. Walking distance to everything in town. The property owners were very helpful and overall it was a great stay. Lose to Old Saybrook where my dad is in assisted living. The location of thisproperty allowed us to spend quality time with him.
