The photos that accompany the listing are indeed accurate, but they can't quite adequately convey how bright and serene an environment this house provides -- inside and out. Old Saybrook is a delightful town, and the house is also within easy proximity of, e.g., Mystic, which we like to visit. But we spent less time out and about than anticipated because we were enjoying this house and the Long Island Sound beach so much.
The large, well equipped kitchen was a special treat for family members who live in NYC apartments with dinky kitchens. Beds were comfy; hot water did not run out before everyone could shower.
Last, but not least, Richard is a terrific host: responsive, informative, and genuinely hospitable! Unlike the exasperating host of last year's rental (who turned out to be an agent for a property management company, not the house owner).
In sum, Richard offers a wonderfully comfortable place for low-key fun and happy memory-making with friends or family, We look forward to returning!
