Charming Cottage By The Sea on Fairfield Beach

Newly renovated cottage, steps from private beach. Whether you enjoy walking, biking, swimming, fishing, kayaking, or the daunting task of napping in a shady hammock, this is the place is for you. Near Metro North and I-95, just an hour from Manhattan. Bring back memories of childhood summers—put your toes in the sand and your mind at ease, while enjoying the tranquility of this spectacular Long Island Sound getaway in Fairfield. Also, we have added Amazon Alexa and Fire Stick to our smart TV.

The space

Our cottage is just steps from a private beach (directly across the street). Everything is newly renovated, but has that rustic seaside feel. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor space for a family getaway, with Wifi for connecting to the world and even more opportunities to disconnect as needed.
Admittedly, it would be easy to hide away here for a week or more, without making much contact with anyone other than the gulls. That being said, Fairfield is also rich in foodie and entertainment options.
We're an easy bike ride to town, a longer walk, and a really short drive or Uber trip. The cottage is roughly a half mile from the Fairfield Metro North Train Stop (which is roughly an hour from Manhattan), and is a hop, skip, and a jump from Interstate 95 and the Merritt Parkway.
The path to the beach is directly accross the street and between two houses. This is a common feature of Fairfield Beach. Also, we have parking for three vehicles, in front, under house. The parking can be tight for larger cars.

Fairfield Beach
Such a cute beach house. It is was a perfect location for our family of four to stay at while visiting with other family in Fairfield/Southport/Westport and also allowing us to go into NYC for a day trip to the Statue of Liberty.

Great beach house in CT
This is a gorgeous property. The house is so nicely renovated and really lovely and comfortable. It has nice furniture and linens and a great kitchen. We were surprised by how much the kitchen had in a compact size. Plenty of space with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Helpful instructions were given on how to access the beach and we had no problems with that. It is very close and you can see a sliver of ocean from the couch and dining table. The only thing that surprised us was how small the parking area is. We had a single mid sized SUV to park and it took some maneuvering to get it where it wasn’t right by the road. I felt a little nervous being so parked to the road on a turn but I did notice that other properties had a similar situation and parked extremely close to the road. It seems like a small community and we didn’t get swiped so it worked out in the end. I would heartily recommend this property and hope we may be so lucky as to stay here again in the future. I would sum it up as- everything you need, beautiful, relaxing, and quaint yet luxurious.
