Other things to note ⭐ “The house has so much character, and space to enjoy family time together.” – Laura 😎 What’s Old Saybrook, CT all about? Old Saybrook feels like one of those coastal towns that’s quietly confident in who it is. It’s historic without feeling frozen in time, relaxed but still lively, and very much centered around simple pleasures—good food, water views, and slowing down a bit. You’ll find a walkable town center with locally owned shops and cafés, easy access to beaches and marinas, and plenty of spots to sit with a book or watch the boats go by. It’s the kind of place where people come for weddings, reunions, or a reset, not nightlife, and where an afternoon can easily turn into a long dinner and an early night. There’s some traffic at peak times and things move at a coastal pace, but that’s part of the charm—it’s a town that invites you to linger rather than rush. 👋 Meet your hosts We're devoted to ensuring your stay is as comfortable and memorable as it can be!
