Cottage rentals with a hot tub

Jamestown Family-friendly Cozy Cottage in town
Great house for our girls weekend. Jamestown is so cute and we decided to eat out for the weekend but the kitchen was stocked if we’re to stay in. SteveO is a great host and great communicator. The hot tub was perfect. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Luxury cottage by the sea with hot tub and pool
Perfect spot for a quiet weekend getaway! We were able to go to Yale art museums for the day and then came back to check out the beaches. Definitely recommend the trip to Dockside Seafood and Grill in Branford for lobster pasta! The hot tub was also the best way to end the day with a peaceful beautiful view!! Would definitely go back again!

Walk/Bike to East Hampton Village & Ocean Beaches
I had a wonderful weekend at Andrew’s place in East Hampton. It was gorgeous, perfect location, perfect layout, and such a central location to everything. It was incredibly clean and organized and the backyard was beautiful for relaxing. Andrew was also a terrific host- he left us beverages, was super communicative and flexible and I’m so happy I stayed here. Hopefully I’ll rent again soon!!

We had a wonderful stay at Leann’s! The home was absolutely lovely—clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated. The amenities were just what I needed for a relaxing getaway. Leann was a great host, and we truly can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!

Bridgehampton Cottage Close to Town, South of HWY
Wow!! The perfect peaceful getaway that is close to everything!! Tucked away off the road the house is quiet with a beautiful yard. The interior is both stylish and comfortable. The kitchen is extremely well outfitted. Andrew is a great host and an excellent communicator. We only wished we could have stayed longer!! The question isn’t will we come back, it’s simply when!

Cozy Getaway | Pet Friendly | Litchfield Cty
Kelsey’s home was beautiful and cozy! So peaceful and perfect get away if youre looking to unwind and escape reality for a bit. She was also very kind and accommodating. We decided to go on our mini honey moon after our wedding ceremony took place locally and it was the best decision. She even left us a sweet hand written card that we found upon arrival. Couldn’t have asked for a better place or host to end our wedding weekend! We will definitely be back again.

Quahog Cottage- Full Home with a private yard
Had a great 3 night stay at Pats cottage! Charming place with great amenities. Appreciated that it had a crib and gates for the kids. Only feedback would be that the sandbox needs a clean up and maybe some fresh sand, but that could have been limited for us bc we rented early in the season. Pat was great with communication before and during.

Lake Beseck cottage
We loved our stay here. It was the perfect place for two of us and our dog. The home was just as described, welcoming, cosy and well equipped, and we appreciated all the local recommendations. We enjoyed local walks, the lake, and the great dog park, as well as easy access to Middletown to visit our son. Elisabeth and Daniel were fantastic hosts!

Savor Blazing Ocean Sunsets at a Soothing Beachfront Haven
Look no further! The Beach Cottage is beautiful, immaculate, private, and all things one would hope a vacation getaway would entail. This location feels “off the grid” albeit close to modern amenities/stores. Hope to be back soon!

Pet-Friendly Private Beach Oceanfront Cottage A/C
We had a great stay at Elizabeth Anne's house. It was very clean and exactly as described, had everything we could need around the house. The location is great, the peaceful sound of waves cannot be beat... I am missing it now. We will definitely consider staying there again!

In-law apartment in Farmington River Cottage
I had a great stay at this Airbnb. The place was clean, comfortable, and matched the description perfectly. Communication with the host was smooth and prompt, and check-in was easy. The neighborhood was quiet and convenient, with everything I needed close by. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Charm + location. Walk to beach, town, & harbor.
It was so comfortable and peaceful. We had a great time exploring nearby beaches and hikes. We would definitely stay there again.

Montauk Oceanview
Always love staying at Ron’s. It’s so peaceful. Perfect location and beautiful Ocean views with a short ride if you need to go to town. Montauk Music Fest is a must. Amazing talent and great way to see all Montauk venues. Ron so great to have as a host!

Cozy Waterfront Retreat
Meghan's place is exactly as posted it is absolutely beautiful, cozy, comfortable and did I say beautiful? one of my favorite things to do was sit in front of the big windows and read. You have everything you can think of close, at least 4 to 6 minutes away. There are restaurants, super market and pharmacies. But if you are like me and also like to cook sometimes on vacation the kitchen was equipped with everything you need. Highly, highly recommend.

Peaceful Oceanfront Cottage
Wonderful place to get away from the busy life. We found it relaxing and a convenient 20 min drive to the academy We will definitely book again!

Game Room-Mins to Beach&Boardwalk-Walk to Marinas
We enjoyed our stay here very much. It was very clean and tastefully decorated. The kids loved the game room and the fenced in backyard was great to enjoy with our pup. We walked to the marina & a great seafood restaurant. It was a short drive to cute cafes for breakfast. Can’t think of anything I’d change- it was perfect!

New & Beautiful Lake cottage
The cottage is on a beautiful lake and is very relaxing . The morning sunset on our second day was amazing. Perfect couples retreat or in our case girls weekend. Our host, Donna, was very responsive and provided extra goodies. The house was clean and comfortable. We visited Gillette’s Castle and downtown Chester had lunch at Market 37 . Unfortunately, we had rain and could not enjoy deck right on the water.

Cozy Lakefront Cottage Perfect for Families
What a beautiful view! We had a great time despite the weather. The house was very comfortable and the location right on the lake is hard to beat.

Hop Skip and a Jump to the Beach
Our first ever stay at 'Hop Skip and Jump' really met all of our expectations and needs for the week of 8/10-8/17/24! I have never in my 70+ years of spending a summer week in Old Lyme been so enveloped with 5 star luxury while at the Beach! I would recommend this rental to any small family or a group of girlfriends! Hop

Bucolic Farm On A Country Road
We could not have asked for a nicer place to stay~~~~clean, comfortable, woke up every morning hearing the bird’s singing. Felt like home. And Lori was a wonderful host! Thank you!

Chic Coastal Retreat with Short Walk to Beach
This beach house is super cute. I did have trouble with the lock box, but, that could have been operator error. Super cute, super clean, super responsive to questions.

There is a terrific game room with pool table ping pong and a hoop game and lots of board & card games and a big couch with a large screen Town is lovely and easy to get to 5 min drive or 15 minute walk and terrific restaurants and Niantic Yoga studio outstanding We will be back
