Charming cottage by the sea

Charming waterfront cottage for rent by week or month in historic Guilford, CT. Swim, paddleboard, and kayak from the front of the house; a beautiful, sandy, private beach is just steps away. The house is located in Mulberry Point, a quiet beach community approximately 2.5 miles from the historic Guilford green. Frequently listed as one of Connecticut's prettiest communities, Guilford's "downtown" boasts restaurants, historic homes, boutiques, a book store and library, coffee shops and patisseries. A short car trip will take you to Yale University, the Connecticut river, Gillette castle, Goodspeed Opera House, Mystic Seaport and many more Connecticut landmarks.

Clam, relaxing, and beautiful view!
Me, my husband and family members that stayed with us very much enjoyed the calmness and the beauty of the property. The view is amazing. It's very convenient that we can just take out the kayak right there to enjoy the out door activity!

Beautiful!
Very nice home! Kitchen is so much bigger than expected. With so many windows, we were stunned by the ocean view when we first walked in. Just beautiful! The home is wide open, lots of space on the first floor. Anything we needed was there. Love that there is a bathroom on each floor. It was a very hot week but there were plenty of fans to use. Loved seeing the tides come in and out. Kathy was so easy to communicate with. This is a really nice place to stay. I highly recommend it!

Guilford views
It is an older hime (built in 1910) as such it has many cosmetic 'wrinkles' that need attention. However, the view is spectacular and we were very comfortable.

Beautiful views and lovely neighborhood
Beautiful water views from 1st and 2nd floors. Relaxing property right on the water. My children had a blast using the kayak and paddle board. We appreciated that life jackets were available. Very quiet neighborhood with a 3 minute walk to the association beach.

Amazing Location
We had the most wonderful stay at this home. The location is amazing, truly waterfront, with gorgeous views from the main living area and main bedroom. The house had room for our family of 3 to spread out and enjoy different spaces. One thing I really liked was that the house wasn’t cluttered with unnecessary furniture - so many beach rentals feel stuffed with furniture and decor, but this house felt open and airy with lots of room for our daughter to set up her toys on the floor. The decor felt timeless and casually classy. I was also very impressed by the selection of books, puzzles and games. We have spent several vacations renting houses sort of near the beach where the house becomes just a home base where you sleep and eagerly get out in the morning. This was totally different - we didn’t even want to leave the house - the house WAS the vacation. We can’t wait to come back!!

Heavenly View
The description on VRBO was quite accurate. It was a basic, cozy waterfront cottage. Very workable kitchen, comfortable beds, lots of extra linens, lots of room to relax both inside and out. There was a negative, however: a few windows were not working properly, two were unable to be cranked shut and had to be pushed shut from the outside and a few were totally missing the crank mechanism. Some window replacement is definitely needed. And, in the kitchen, there was a mouse, which I killed. This definitely is a waterfront property- -absolutely magnificent views.

We absolutely loved the views, tides, and location. Went kayaking and SUP almost every day. Sunrises were stunning. The cottage was simple and perfect. A gem. We enjoyed going to the Guilford green for walks, errands, throwing a football, etc. We would love to return!

Peace and Calm on Mulberry Point
A charming vintage cottage with a panoramic view of Long Island Sound. Enjoy the water, collect shells, wake to the sunrise. We connected with nature and the lovely neighborhood. Everything you need is generously provided. Minutes away from Guilford's fabulous restaurants, book store and bakery. A true gem, I hope we can return soon..
