Summersalt Madison: New England shoreline charm 2-3 minutes from private beach
Built in 1937, Summersalt combines quintessential New England beach house charm with modern updates and fun, unique touches throughout. The kitchen is well-stocked with everything you might need to cook at home, including a gas range, Instant Pot, crockpot and air fryer. Warm summer evenings invite cookouts on the grill and meals on the patio. With access to the private Lee Manor beach just a 2-3 minute walk away, you'll be able to soak up the sun from a lounge chair, swim in the gentle waves of the Long Island Sound and search for seashells along a private and pristine section of shoreline in Madison.

Perfect Stay By The Beach
Since the summer of COVID our family has stayed beachside in Madison and this year's stay in Summersalt was perfect. The house, lovely touches and steps to the water really makes this a gem. Being both family-friendly and a quiet retreat, we couldn't have asked for more. We highly recommend this property and will be returning next summer.
Perfect New England beach house in private community. The private beach and friendly neighborhood was a real treat. I can not say enough about the kids room, multiple sets of built in bunk beds with fun features… everyone got the top bunk!
100% would recommend and we will be back.
Had a lovely trip for 7 people!
*Communication was clear and professional throughout.
*House was comfortable, beautiful and well stocked. It rained on our first day there, but we still managed to have so much fun because it was nice to hang at the house (lots of board games available)
Would visit again!
We thoroughly enjoyed this house in Madison, CT. Our family was on a road trip and we stayed here in the middle of the trip. It offers lots of space and the two bathrooms were perfect.
While the house is older you wouldn’t know it was it has thoughtful details of tech and excellent cooling on a hot summer day. The age of the house only added to the charm, we never felt like we were never lacking for anything.
Thanks for the stay! We would love to come back soon.
My husband, myself and our 11yr old daughter stayed for a week at Summersalt .
Fist off, the house is so cute ! Clean, everything you could need was provided.
The home is located in walking distance to the private beach . My daughter brought her bike and was able to ride it there everyday.
Its a well-maintained small beach .
My daughter's favorite part were the swings in the kitchen ! The owners were very responsive with any concerns or questions. We will definitely be booking again.
Beautiful house with a short walk to a private, well kept beach. The neighborhood was nice and the neighbors were warm and friendly. The house was an older, well maintained beach house with all the modern amenities you would want or need. Nice outdoor deck if you wanted to eat outside as well as multiple indoor dining areas. Multiple bathrooms as well as an outdoor shower for after the beach. My 2.5 year old grand niece visited and enjoyed playing in the front and back yards. New beach chairs and other beach accessories, including a wagon were in the storage shed. Brad and Hillary were very responsive but we didn't really need to reach out often. Great vacation home and hope to visit again!

About the host
Hosted by Brad and Hillary
Brad grew up on the Connecticut shoreline and met Hillary soon after college (go Huskies!). They love bringing their young family back to enjoy the beauty of the Long Island Sound during all seasons of the year -- summertime is always a favorite, but the serenity of the wintertime beaches draws them back time and time again!
Why they chose this property
From the moment you step into Summersalt, you'll feel the quintessential charm and character of a New England shoreline retreat. Well-equipped with all the comforts of home, including a king-sized bed in the primary bedroom, a Sleep Number queen bed in the secondary bedroom, and everything you'll need to cook for your group. Catch glimpses of the water from the second floor and stroll to it in just minutes. The activities in Madison are endless, from running and hiking trails to wineries and breweries just a short drive away.
What makes this property unique
Summersalt is nestled in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood just minutes from I-95. With easy access to the Long Island Sound, you can take a stroll on the beach in the morning, paddle your kayak around the Madison shore by day, and watch the sunset in the evening. The nautical-themed bunk room, complete with portholes in the bunks and beanbags nestled into a reading corner, is a family favorite. Kids of all ages are delighted by the custom swings at the kitchen counter!
