4 Bedroom Cottage in Madison Center, Madison

WE DO NOT RENT FOR PERIODS SHORTER THAN 2 WEEKS
This Historic Connecticut Beach Cottage is just steps to a private beach and close to the West Warf and the Madison Beach Hotel.
Welcome to our family cottage!
Our charming cottage sits at the end of a quiet private road, nestled between two protected wetland areas. We are just a three minute walk from our private beach. We share a private beach with a few of our neighbors. One can legally travel under the high water mark making the entire beach accessible for beach combing, fishing etc etc.
Our cottage retains much of it's original charm, but is filled with modern conveniences. We offer extras like complementary high speed internet, cable tv, apple TV, laundry , and a dishwasher. We additionally installed a chair lift for the stairway that can be used for people and luggage.
Four fully appointed bright and cheerful bedrooms include two queen size bedrooms, a bunk bed room, and a bedroom with 2 twin mattresses. All of the bedrooms have individual air conditioning and baseboard heating. The upstairs has the main bathroom where you can enjoy a relaxing bath in a large claw foot bathtub. The lower level of the cottage has a newly remodeled open concept kitchen with a 10 foot Kitchen Island clad in Calacutta marble and the living room TV area. The space is surrounded by windows and is bright and spacious. The kitchen has a new stainless steel refrigerator and dishwasher. There is also a new stove built into the marble topped kitchen island with (2) bar stools for seating. Step out the side door next to the kitchen to access our Webber gas barbecue grill. The kitchen also comes fully equipped with coffee makers, a toaster, dishes, utensils, and pots and pans. It is a very enjoyable space for preparing a meal. The comfy living area is a great place to relax or watch a movie. The cottage has a large flatscreen tv.
Our family has always enjoyed eating our meals and unwinding after a day at the beach on our enclosed porch. Its one of the best parts about our cottage. Watch the sunset while having a meal seated at the large teak dining room table that can seat eight with ease.
There are lovely flower and trees all around the house with many bird watching opportunities. The front yard also has a mowed area of grass we use to play bocce. The outdoor shower with hot and cold water is located at the side of the house.
The one car garage also has a half bathroom combined with laundry facilities. There is a new full sized washer and dryer with a laundry sink as well. We have a large assortment of beach chairs and umbrellas, and all manner of beach toys for the kids.
It's just a short walk down the road to get to our deeded semi-private beach. Grab a beach chair and umbrella and enjoy swimming and beach combing along the shore. Great fishing can be found just down the beach at the West Warf or head down to the Madison Surf Club where you will find a large modern playground and basketball courts, snack bar, and public beach.
You can easily walk or bike (please bring your own) to the charming town of Madison. Take in the movie at the Madison Art Cinemas. Shop at the many boutiques, or enjoy a fabulous meal.
We will be happy to share with you many of the wonderful activities Madison and the surrounding towns have to offer. This is a wonderful place to experience laid back beach living.

Summary: We spent 8 weeks at the Madison getaway. We wanted a place that was very close to water, could accommodate young and mature family and friends, was private and secluded feeling, and had a sense of casual with modern amenities. Well, we found it in Madison. Justin, our host, went above and beyond in making our stay comfortable and immediately took care of any problem that came up. Communicating with him was prompt and easy. He is a great guy with a wonderful sense of humor and an easy way of making any potential problem an easy fix. The walk to the beach takes less than 5 minutes making a swim easy and possible every day. If we got tired of sitting under a tree reading, we grabbed a towel, slip on swim wear and head for the beach. There is an outdoor shower that delighted everyone and made the mornings a wonderful refreshing experience. A washer / dryer made life easy and carefree. The kitchen was perfect for a summer stay away from home with all the necessary conveniences. The 4 bedroom house is located next to an estuary with many trees surrounded the area, consequently there was the never ending sound of bird songs. Many days birds sat on branches outside our open kitchen window singing and singing. It was lovely. Because the house is right on the sound, we had a couple storms pass our way during our stay. There was one mandatory evacuation, but there was never any damage to life or property. But then storms are to be expected on the Long Island Sound in the summer. A most delightful section of the house is the screened-in front porch with a long dining table at one end of the porch that seats 10 to 12 people. It was great when family came for a short stay. But on the other end of the long porch was an area that I turned into a mini art studio. I set up a card table and scattered out my pencils, pens and pastels, set up my easel and spent many hours, rain or shine, drawing. It was a perfect location and house for us and we would recommend Justin's Madison Getaway to anyone.

Summary: Justin, was wonderful to work with and promptly responded to questions and requests. A few of the provided beach chairs needed replacing and Justin had new ones delivered to the cottage during our stay. Use of the garage was helpful to store all the necessary beach items (chairs, umbrellas, beach wagon, floats, etc). The location was perfect! Private and secluded but steps away from the deeded private beach and a short walk to the town beach, West Wharf. Our grandchildren enjoyed their stroller ride to Surf Club to play on the playground. There was plenty of parking for our family day visitors. AC units in the bedrooms and living area were essential during the heat wave. We hope to be back next year!

Summary: Fantastic place! We stayed here for most of June and July 2020 and had an excellent experience. The neighborhood is great – quiet, well-maintained, and an easy walk to two nice restaurants literally down the road and a snack shack on the beach (about 0.4 miles west on the beach) The neighbors we encountered were super friendly. House is very comfortable with an updated, open floor plan on the ground floor, an outdoor shower, and a stylish and easy-to-use kitchen. There are four small bedrooms upstairs with the master bedroom looking out to the water and one of the other bedrooms having a cool loft (especially fun for older kids to play in). Each of the bedrooms has a comfortable bed (or beds) and window AC units. There is a detached garaged that is excellent for beach item storage and the garage also contains a washer and dryer and a half-bath. But the three best aspects of this house are: owner/manager; the beach; and the ease of use of the house. The owner/manager is super responsive and thoughtful – he was an absolute pleasure to work with and addressed any questions or needs immediately and gracefully. The beach is about a 60 second walk from the front door (a third of which is over the property’s own front yard!) – and it is a great beach! We’ve rented before in Guilford and Old Saybrook and this is by far the nicest beach we have rented on. And lastly, the “move-in-ability” of this house is top notch. We were for want of nothing upon arrival. Sheets, towels, appliances, etc. were all in excellent condition and anything we could need for the beach was found in the garage. This is a great family property that is in a wonderful neighborhood, has excellent access to the beach, and a great owner – we would love to come back in the future.

Summary: Our family had a great time at the house. A private yard for the kids to play in but with in a small community. It was a 10 minute walk to the playground and 150 steps to the beach. located 6 houses from the Madison Beach Hotel, so great for spa services or movie night. The house itself was great, a/c in each room an outdoor shower and all the amenities that you will need for time at the beach. Communication with the host was great. No issues at the house but if we needed clarification then we has quick to respond.

Summary: If you are looking for a low key, comfortable vacation near restaurants, the beach, and quiet roads, this is the place to stay. This house is no frills, but has everything you need. The house has an outdoor shower, washer and dryer and a dishwasher. Each room has an air conditioning unit, and there is a screened in porch. In the garage has plenty of water sport equipment and beach chairs/umbrellas for you to use. We were a family of five and were happy staying here. While the house has only one bathroom with a clawfoot tub, there is a second bathroom in the garage where the washer and dryer are located. We all took outdoor showers daily. One thing we wished for was a coffee table in the living room, but outside of this, our kids loved staying here and we will be back again!
