Cute Essex house
Very comfortable and as pictured and described in other reviews. Note that the fan must be on when you shower. We made the mistake not to, and the steam set off the fire alarm just outside the bathroom door. Otherwise no mishaps and we would gladly return.

Nice Peaceful Getaway
Nicely decorated and very comfortable older 2 BR house near the cute little village of Essex. Very large yard and beautiful outdoor furniture. Typical of the house’s vintage, stairs to bedrooms are very steep and slick so bring slippers or grippy socks.

Better than advertised
Perfect location. Easy access from Route 9 and property was walkable to town and seemed more rural than suburban due to the spacious lot size. Both bedrooms provided a great sleeping experience for the three guests. My first house rental on VRBO, and this was a winner. Many dining options very close to property. We all enjoyed the stay.
