Guilford Cottage | 1930s Waterfront Cottage on Tuttle's Point

5 Bedroom Cottage in Guilford

Remember 'doing the dishes' with family members and friends? Do you love an outdoor shower? Visit this charming 1930's summer cottage with direct water access, large screened porch with wonderful 180 degree views of Long Island Sound. Little White Top is unpretentious and comfortable, designed to allow for carefree and peaceful holidays.
The long and airy screened porch overlooking the water is the hub of the home, where everyone wants to gather to read and converse, sharing breakfast, lunch, or cocktails. And it's a wonderful place to watch a thunderstorm! The cottage comfortably sleeps 6 people, with 2 bedrooms on the first floor with queen beds, and 3 bedrooms on the second floor, one with a queen bed, one with a double bed, and the third with a double bed and 2 twin beds. There is ample parking on the property for 4 cars.
Moor your own boat in the waters off the shore. Easy launching of kayaks and canoes can be done directly from the property and from the beach just down and around the corner. Kids can choose to paddle around the protected waters off Tuttles Point or go out to the various rock islands and explore the tide pools there. More adventurous adults can embark on longer paddles to Faulkner's Island Island Light or to Sachem's Head or the Thimble Islands. Enjoy picnics on the front lawn, with ample space for children to play. Sun yourselves and take a dip at the water's edge or take the little ones 600 feet down the hill to the sandy Association Beach. The Cottage also offers a pass for visiting Guilford' Jacob's Beach.
The protected waters off Tuttles Point offer swimming, fishing, and kayaking and their protected nature is especially good for children. At all tides, ospreys, herons, gulls, and other shorebirds seek out these waters and the rich marshlands nearby.
You may notice in the listing there is no TV! Little White Top is the kind of place where you can step aside from your usual routine, listen to one another and the coastal sounds. You are in a different place and there is a strong tradition of Monopoly and Scrabble here!
Tuttles Point is a quiet, low-key residential neighborhood in a private association with its own beach, in the historic town of Guilford. Guilford Town Center offers interesting shopping and fine dining, Shakespeare on the Green in August, as well as craft and antique shows. A Pick-Your-Own farm/orchard is an 8 minute drive from the Cottage. Collect some berries and bake a pie in the simple but well appointed kitchen! Biking and hiking trails are easily accessible, as well as the local Whitfield House Museum. The Peabody Natural History Museum and the British Art Museum at Yale University are a 1/2 hour drive to be enjoyed along with Frank Pepe's Pizza in New Haven, considered to be the very best!

Summary: Tuttles Point is a hidden gem of a neighborhood. I spent my summers as a child in this neighborhood, and I wanted to share my love for this area with my family. This cottage was perfect for what we needed. The view is beautiful and there is so much character in the home that you forget that you might be missing some of our modern comforts. My children loved the rocks out back, the beaches and all the activities in close proximity to this home. If you’re looking for a place to disconnect m, this is your place.while you’re here, be sure to visit “The Place” for dinner; it’s a one of a kind experience and fun for the whole family. We’ll be back!

Summary: We loved our time at Little White Top. The house is super clean and has large bedrooms and a really well-stocked kitchen. The big screened porch overlooking the water was a perfect place to play games, eat and just hang out. On calm days we enjoyed kayaking off the beach just down the road. We hope to stay here again!

Summary: The house is charming and no frills from a by-gone era, which we loved. Lovely, quiet neighborhood, well-equipped kitchen. We suffered a bit during the evenings when temperatures did not drop or there was no breeze coming off the coast. Unfortunately, with rising temperatures and humidity, sleeping at night could be quite uncomfortable when only fans are an option.

Summary: This cottage was a winner! Luckily we had good weather on our side. Lots of fans and light. Felt like going back in time to a slower pace. So peaceful. Loved the sunsets/rises from the porch! Beach access was terrific.

Summary: A wonderful, original old home right on the water. We all really enjoyed the great screened porch and location. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and we all loved the colorful fiesta dishes! Unfortunately the week we visited was pretty hot so it got quite warm in the upstairs but the fans cooled it off somewhat at night. In addition to the beach down the road we spent a lot of time in the yard and swimming off the rocks. We had a nice relaxing week!

Summary: We had such a relaxing time sitting on the porch watching the water and taking an occasional paddle around the sound. Nearby Jacob's Beach was fun with the kids and Red Barn and the Place. Great place to unwind and slow down.
