This location was perfect. We had a death in our family in Guilford Connecticut and I needed a place nearby for myself and other out of town family. Commute was easy each day to Guilford. The house was charming, immaculate. The close proximity to the beach was great. I walked each morning to see the sunrise. A great time for reflection. Sunrises did not disappoint. Thank you John for being a great host. Your home was exactly what we all needed. I’m looking forward to returning in the future.

Well maintained neighborhood and quite location. Buiding was well maintained, spacious and clean. Seperate temperature control for each floor. Has a large fenced in backyard and was setup with nice grill and patio area. Has 2 seperate driveways with a half circle at the front door for easy load and unload. Even though we didn't use them, it has many items availble for small children. Walk to beach area was only about 1/4 mile. Great neighborhood for walking, very little traffic. Will stay again if we come back to the area.
