Family Reunion
We needed another house to accommodate family in town for a family reunion. It worked about perfectly! And the banana bread was delicious ❤️

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.

Dreamy getaway!
This property far exceeded our expectations. I don't think the pictures do it justice! Spotless, quiet, comfortable, and quite spacious living areas. The neighborhood was great, both private and local town beaches were just what we wanted.

We couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather or a more serene location to get away from the daily hustle and bustle. The owners gave fantastic suggestions to make the best of our stay, and were a blessing when we accidentally got locked out. The banana bread was a pleasant addition to greet us on our arrival and the neighborhood was welcoming. We absolutely loved our mothers/daughters vacation!

Very Nice Cottage
Property was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped for a lengthy stay but we were only there for a couple of nights and did not cook at all. TV and WiFi were provided, beds were comfortable, and the location is in a quiet cottage neighborhood just steps from a private little beach. The back yard looks out over an inlet - a very pleasant place to sit in the provided Adirondack chairs. You need to be aware that there are no bed linens in the cottage and it wasn't mentioned in the property write-up. We were made aware a few weeks before our stay and it was impractical for us to bring our own on a long plane flight. The owner will supply these for a charge, but after I fussed about not knowing this up front, they graciously waived the fee. They also provided a freshly baked loaf of banana nut bread upon our arrival. Scott stopped by to make sure everything was in order and was only a few houses away to respond to any needs. Overall, very nice property.

Good to be home
After growing up in the area and returning many years later, it was a pleasure to take in the area from such a beautiful vantage point on the marsh at Great Hammock Beach. Really appreciate Scott, the owner responding to my asking if the property had a fire pit by dropping off a large Solo stove with firewood for our enjoyment. That is truly Great Hammock hospitality!

Wonderful!
This house was so cute and cozy with plenty of room for our group. Communication with the property owners was great. They were very friendly and even made banana bread for us, which was delicious! Would definitely recommend.

Perfect getaway
Where do I even start? Everything about our stay was perfect! We were greeted with a lovely note and delicious banana bread baked by the owner. The cottage was so clean and a perfect size for my family. The neighborhood was quiet and full of lovely people. The beach was so close and perfect for my 9 year old daughter and nephew. Mary Jo and Scott are such wonderful people and we can’t wait to rent from them again 💙
