Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Essex

Fantastic cute spot in Old Saybrook. Key things for future guests to know - there is no A/C in the winter months so the air can get a bit stale / stuffy in the house. Plus there is no washing machine / dryer in the house, so defo bring enough clothes!

Michael and Alyssa’s property was as described - actually felt more spacious than we expected. The layout was perfect for our party and TV/Wi-Fi facilities were excellent. The weather was inhospitable but they can’t be blamed for that!

We had a wonderful weekend at Aude's home in Essex. The setting was beautiful and the house itself was immaculate. It is a 7 minute drive to the center of town, which was convenient. The host was very responsive and quick to fix any concerns we brought to her attention. I would definitely return to this Airbnb!

Chelsea was communicative and helpful about her beautiful house. It had all we needed, was well appointed, beautifully decorated and in a gorgeous natural setting. We spent time lounging in the living room as a family and it was so comfortable. Top notch! Grab this place now!

I went there to relax and to see and hear the ocean... it didn't disappoint... Not only sand and ocean waves, but I got a birds-eye view of a small members only marina (dealing mostly in sailboats). Plus the added enjoyment of watch boat traffic since we're close to NY and the islands. Plenty of beach to play on and constant sm wave action. Lots of restaurants, stores and Costco all within 15 minutes of the house if you need something. I would definitely return to enjoy this sanctuary. Sandy Y. Manchester CT

We were in town for a wedding and there are few hotels in the area that are a reasonable price point. For half of what I would have paid for a hotel 20 mins away, we were able to stay at a sweet little home just minutes away from all wedding-related locations. Fred and his wife, Lee, were responsive and helpful (even when I NEEDED a disney+ log in at 8:00 pm for my cranky 3 year old). The house was clean and organized. My daughter enjoyed running around the yard and swinging on a little swingset. Bonus was that the bride stayed in the cottage behind the house, so we had easy access all weekend, which was helpful when you have your whole family in tow. Gorgeous little neighborhood in a sweet town. Thank you to Fred and Lee for making our chaotic weekend seamless 🫶🏻

My family had a great stay at Amanda's place. It was the perfect vacation spot - we really enjoyed the panorama view! Everything was just as described and we felt right at home.

I can not say enough to describe how incredibly wonderful our stay with Kirby was. We had a longer stay than we originally thought and our host could not have been more helpful with suggestions to help us navigate my husband stay at Yale. The home is warm, welcoming filled with everything you could possibly need. I have stayed in many bs and bs and they are far superior in their attention to every detail and available and responsive to your questions if you ever have any. You will throughly enjoy a blissful time here.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Barbara’s beautiful home! From the moment we arrived, everything was spotless, well-maintained, and exactly as described. The house is full of charm and character, with thoughtful touches throughout that made it feel like a true home away from home. The location was perfect—peaceful and quiet, yet close enough to everything we wanted to explore. We especially loved the cozy fireplace, comfortable beds, and well-equipped kitchen. Barbara & Patty were incredibly responsive and helpful and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. This was our 3rd time staying here and we highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing, beautiful getaway. We’d definitely love to return in the future!

Ronnie & Brian’s place is awesome! Tons of space and very well maintained. Great location. They are very responsive and we will definitely be back!

Lynda was very friendly and accommodating. We booked the same day late morning and though she has a 24 hour in advance booking rule she was so very kind to prepare the place and welcomed us the same afternoon. It’s a quiet and peaceful place, clean and in easy reach for nice beaches and restaurants.

We had a great stay at bobs apartment. The unit was just as described. It has a large yard where we could let our toddler twins run around to burn energy. Bob was very responsive when we had a question. Instructions were clear and concise. He gave us a lot of grace when the little ones had middle of the night tantrums (we had a 24 hr drive so our routines were totally messed up). My only critique would be we really wish we had a broom to sweep up. Thanks again!

Paris is a wonderful host. His property and cottage is a perfect retreat for two. Charming accommodations with a beautiful view and an easy walk to town. We’ll be back soon! Angelo C.

Janet's place was perfect for my visit. plenty of space in the apartment to spread out. it had everything I needed and didn't feel cluttered. and it was squeaky clean.

Selestria was super kind & supportive! She made us feel welcomed and made herself available for calls if needed. The home was clean and nice looking :)

Nice place located in a beautiful secluded house in a safe neighborhood. Gorgeous property. Our dogs were allowed and they were very comfortable. The amenities were exactly as described. Extremely clean and well maintained. The place was easy to locate and easy to access. It is convenient to many local stores and restaurants. Great, responsive hosts!

We had a wonderful stay!! The lock was stuck upon check-in but the host called us (it was the middle of the night) and walked us through getting it open. She was so friendly and helpful! The place itself was perfect. Great kitchen, sleeping areas, clean and wonderfully decorated. Even with the lock issue, this was a 5 star stay and we have absolutely no complaints. We had 3 people and we felt like we had plenty of room. It’s also right down the street from the Mohegan Sun!!! So perfect place to stay if you want to visit the resort. You can’t get a better location. Also very quiet area.

A+++ listing. We had a great stay in Ada’s condo. The location was excellent, it was a mile from Mohegan Sun, in a quiet and peaceful setting with many amenities. The king bed was super comfortable, the condo was really well stocked with everything you need. There was a private back balcony with pretty plants. Ada was a lovely host. She is very pleasant with excellent communication. I would highly recommend staying at her property.

Such a great stay at this lakeside spot in Bridgeport! The place was very modern and beautifully designed. Everything felt fresh and up to date. The lake view was amazing, and we enjoyed hanging out outside by the water. It was perfect for our large family and worked out well for our long stay while our house was being fixed. It felt nice and private, but still so close to everything we needed. Daymane was a great host—friendly and easy to stay in touch with the whole time. Would def stay here again!

Beautiful home with plenty of room for everyone to spread out and have privacy as well as spend lots of time in the common areas together cooking, playing games and enjoying the spectacular view. The home is well appointed with everything you need. Hope to stay here again! Thank you so much.

very nice home, clean, easy to find felt like home very accomodating

Cute and cozy space for the 4 of us! The house was great to accommodate our family and this weekend’s events. Jana was a wonderful host, very responsive and proactive to a local power grid outage and made sure we were taken care of throughout the afternoon until power was restored. Very flexible in letting us check in an hour early as we arrived earlier than scheduled. Overall great experience and perfect host!

We had a wonderful time. The weather was perfect. The view of the water was everything and was accessible from nearly every room. The home was modern and easily accommodated our large group. Yet it was cozy and beautifully appointed with all the amenities you would ever want. It is ideal for children with every toy imaginable. There was a highchair and a pack and play for our toddler and child appropriate dishes. The kitchen was fully equipped and had 2 sinks, 2 dishwashers and 3 tables for dining. The beautiful pool and hot tub were in constant use. Mary is very thoughtful and assembled a ringed binder with important contacts and suggestions for dining, shopping and entertainment. Although there was no beach on the property there are nearby beaches. The towns of Guilford and (nearby) Madison are charming and well worth visiting. Mary was very accommodating and responded promptly to several inquiries.

Very cute tucked away villa, with pool/hot tub, close to Mohegan Sun. The host was very responsive and the villa was clean and nicely decorated. Would love to come again :-)
