Even with clouds and rain, this cottage was the perfect spot to just relax and enjoy. I will definitely be looking to book again in the future. It’s clean and bright. Having to bring our own bedding and bath towels/cloths, was “different” but won’t be stopping future bookings.

The house was the perfect size. Comfortable and clean and on a wonderful quiet street that is great for a stroll down to the water. The property manager was friendly and efficient.We were welcomed by homemade banana bread in the refrigerator which was the best any of us have tasted!! This property is a perfect get away for adults or families. We will definitely return.

Our stay at the Old Saybrook cottage was very pleasant. The surrounding area is so beautiful. We enjoyed sitting on the patio having coffee and the homemade bread the hosts provided, while looking at the view. The beach is a short walk which made for enjoyable morning walks. I gave check-in less than 5 stars, only due to a temporary lack of communication. Later, the hosts visited us to ensure that everything was working out. We really appreciated that. The bedding linens and bath towels we requested were in place and very comfortable. I do suggest that someone considering staying here take a small extension cord. I travel with one and it came in handy for plugging in our phones in the bedrooms next to the bed. We hope to be able to visit the area again and would consider staying at this cottage. The hosts were delightful.

Fishing Charter

I and a group of friends stayed at Scott and Mary-Jo's VRBO for a fishing charter we had in Old Saybrook. We were very satisfied with our stay and the VRBO itself. They even made us homemade banana bread! Would highly recommend this VRBO.

Comfy Cottage on the Sound

Old-fashioned cottage with modern updates, just a short walk from the beach. Quiet, friendly neighborhood. The hosts take good care of their guests! My favorite part was the view from the back deck, which looks out into a grassy marsh and small river, complete with several osprey checking out a nesting platform. Look forward to staying here again!

Peaceful and Relaxing

The quiet friendly community, the short walk to the ocean, the peaceful back yard that looked on to the marsh and tidal river, the sight of boats, the walks on the nearby sand bars, the comfortable and well stocked cottage, and the accommodating hosts are all great reasons to recommend this cottage as a great place to stay near Old Saybrook.
