Relaxing getaway with lots to do nearby

This is one of my favorite VRBO places I have stayed. This beautiful beach barn is a short walk to the small but lovely town beach and a short drive to a nearby state park. The owner sent a wonderful list of other nearby things to try and we had good food, great activities and overall a wonderful, relaxing time.

Family Beach Trip

We were thrilled with the proximity to lovely town and quick walk to town beach. The house worked well, the kitchen was good for us as we tend to cook at home. The back yard in early morning with lots of bird song was a real treat.

Nice place for small family

We selected The Barn for it’s proximity to family as well as to the shore. Clinton beach is a 5-10minute walk and has a good playground/obstacle area for the pre-teens. We made a day of Hammonasett’s different beaches and nature center; and even hopped the train around the corner and did a day trip to NYC!

The “cozy” Barn

This property was by far one of the best rental properties we have stayed in. My kids did not want to leave. The Barn is very spacious and Lizette has thought of everything for what seems to be every type of traveler. If the property is available on a return trip to Clinton, we will not hesitate to stay here again!

An enjoyable stay at “the barn”

The barn was clean, nicely decorated and had everything we needed for our stay. Lizette was really helpful and responsive. We appreciated her sharing suggestions about restaurants, beaches and places of interest in the area. It was a short walk to the town beach and a great neighborhood for morning walks or runs. Overall we loved our stay. Thanks Lizette!

Enjoyed our stay at the barn.

The barn was a wonderful place for a vacation: it has plenty of room, it’s comfortable and cozy, very clean, the kitchen has everything we needed to cook meals (there’s also a grill), and it is situated on a quiet street a short walk from the Clinton Town Beach. Lizette was super helpful. She provided clear instructions in a timely manner for check in and check out. She also sent us a six-page list of places to eat and things to do in the area, which we found helpful.

Love the Barn !

Love at 1st sight! The rustic decor was a success with grandparents and teenage grandkids. Lizette is a great host, welcoming and informative. Great beach access from the barn, a few minutes' walk and all necessary beach gear was provided. The barn is in close proximity to other beach towns, restaurants and grocery stores. Clinton is a nice town. We all enjoyed our stay and wish we could do it again in the future.

The place had anything you would need to prepare a meal if you cared to. Response time was great from owners.If you want a place around 1 block from beach heres your place . Thanx again for the hospitality again.

Lovely, stylish and well equiped holiday home

The communication from Lizette was brilliant from the moment I booked the property. The property itself is beautifully and stylishly furnished and decorated. It is clear that a lot of thought and work has gone into creating this lovely holiday home. The house is at the rear of the owner's home on a quiet residential (dead end) street within 2 minutes walk of the beach at the end of the road. We were there to relax for the weekend and we were able to do just that; using the well equiped kitchen, gas barbeque and amazing washer & dryer! We had planned to use the firepit, but didn't get round to it, but it looked brand new (or very well cleaned!). Many thanks also for the little extra touches such as the welcome card, bottles of bubbly and the chocolates! Would highly recommend.

Perfect Getaway in Connecticut

The hosts are welcoming & so very nice. The Beach Barn is charming, beautifully decorated, super comfy beds & pillows * very important *. With the warm weather we used the outside grill & enjoyed the deck. Lizette even supplied a cooler & ice packs for us to use when we visited a winery. We reallly appreciated it! I highly recommend the Beach Barn & if our travels bring us to Connecticut again we would love to stay there once again!! Thank you so much for your hospitality 💜💜💜

Perfect Stay

Everything about this stay was perfect. Lizette was very hospitable and willing to work with our schedule, even when I needed to adjust our dates...more than once. She provided a thorough list of places to visit and things to do based off different interests and local favorites. The Barn was so cozy and very well stocked to accommodate its guests. We enjoyed a fire outside and had plenty of options of board games to play. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and there is also a grill we used to grill steaks. They are within a short walking distance to the beach and the cute little town of Clinton. If there is one thing I could recommend, plan to stay for at least a week because you will definitely want plenty of time to kick back and take in this little corner of heaven.

New England Charm

We were visiting our familys' home town and wanted to be walking distance from the water. The Clinton town beach and park are small but sweet. We had a couple of lovely sunsets. The walk from the barn was easy and the street was just a cascade of springtime flowers. The "Beach Barn" had the character of New England we love yet all the modern simple decor. Come summer time this place will be more of a gem simply due to access to walk to the beach without the Connecticut shoreline parking fees! We are very experienced VRBO guests and the most important asset is the communication with the host. Lizzette was wonderful and gracious and responded quickly. We loved the private back deck and were able to sit with our drinks there a few nights. It was a a very lovely place to base our trip back east to visit family and friends.

Great Place to Stay!

Wonderful stay, rooms were clean, beds were comfortable, location was awesome, walk to beach or walk to town. Hosts were very quick to respond to questions and had wonderful suggestions for things to do. It was the little thoughtful touches that really made it special though, a big big bottle of water in the fridge (and adult beverages) a bowl of chocolates on the table, coffee pods and sugar. All the little things that you need before you have a chance to get out to shop. Highly recommend this house and these hosts!
