Wonderful stay

Great location! Jeff was a great host who answered any questions and was always pleasant. The apartment was very clean and super cute. It made the perfect spot for us to stay while we attended the Soundside Music Festival. The charming downtown was two minutes away and we were within walking distance to the beach. Lovely spot.

Comfortable convenient hotel alternative

We selected this guest house as a spacious, dog-friendly alternative to a hotel for our recent trip to Westport to visit friends. The property is clean and well-equipped in a perfect location for dog walking, Southport beach and quick drives into Southport and Westport. The property manager is highly responsive and delivered a great experience, just as described in the listing. We will look forward to a return visit.

Visit Home

our stay was for personal reasons as we are born and raised in CT and have family here. We had beautiful weather, we were two minutes from the beach, and centrally located to 95 and the Merritt parkway. Everything was very close, especially the little village of Southport with Sammy's pizza and the little bakery Sono. Overall the stay was great and the cottage was wonderful. it me all our needs. Thanks to Jeff for being such a great host.

nice getaway

a lovely, well-maintained apartment that's a short walk to the beach. With lots of showy mansions in the area, this house is a pleasant contrast. Wish we'd booked a longer stay! (Our only complaint is very first world: the coffee-maker requires specific pods we couldn't find. We had to :::sob::: buy our coffee elsewhere.)

A Stay-vacation

A really lovely “shabby chic”cottage styled for easy summer living. I stayed two nights to gain easy access to the beach without going far from my home nearby. Fun idea! The bed was comfortable, the bathroom is very nice, The living area is pretty with a great table and four chairs. Tv is well set up. The Kitchen is ok, no ice machine, so be prepared. My only critique would be to have that one cupboard filled with a nicer assortment of dishes and especially glassware instead of looking like it was collected from someone’s leftovers. The host, Jeff, is 100% attentive when needed!

About the host

Hosted by Jeff Giannone

Host profile image
I bought this property in 2014 and did a ground up renovation. The location is amazing situated on Sasco Creek across the street from the beautiful Southport beach on the Westport line.

Why they chose this property

Walk to the beach surrounded by multi-million dollar estates. Close to everything yet quiet and private.

What makes this property unique

Sea breezes, bike or walk to beach, Southport village will make you feel like you are far from Fairfield County, in a good way.
