Cottage vacation rentals in Long Island Sound

We loved this airbnb and stayed for 3 weeks. It sits right on the edge of the marsh with an extraordinary view. We greatly enjoyed how a short walk away is Chaffinch Island, which is a gorgeous park full of tides pools and hackberry trees. The space was clean and comfortable and Mary was a fantastic host. You can see a lighthouse on an island 3 miles out sea from all the rooms, even the main bed.

Just as listed...small cottage by the water and the view was stunning! I liked relaxing in the swim spa or by the calming lights and sounds of the fake electric fire-- definite cozy vibes! The kitchen is clean and well stocked with utensils etc. Feyza was great about checking in. Thanks!

The place was clean, beautifully kept and well supplied- we loved the backyard! Gabriela was very communicative. Highly recommend!

My family had a wonderful stay in Danny and Travis' house. The interior was clean, beautiful, and matched the photos in the listing. The yard was lovely and quiet. We felt away from it all, while still being close to great hiking trails and dining options. Danny and Travis had very clear instructions for how to get in touch with them if we needed anything, but it wasn't necessary. It's clear they put a lot of thought and care into making the process easy for their guests, and we didn't have any issues. The only thing I will caveat is that the house is located off a gravel road, which was quite bumpy when we visited (mid-April). This wasn't an issue for us, but would be a good thing for potential guests to keep in mind.

Very nice stay. Quiet private and peaceful. We enjoyed ourselves very much. The place was very clean and we especially enjoyed the deck, fire pit and hot tub. We would definitely stay again.

Rene was very responsive and gave very clear instructions on things. Place was very neatly put together and the area is very beautiful for a getaway.

A hidden gem! This spot has a ton of character and the hosts are awesome! The lake and surrounding area is beautiful as well, with plenty to do for the outdoorsy type and cute shops and great restaurants within minutes. would highly recommend and hope to find time for a return trip!

Such a cozy space!!! My small family really did enjoy our peaceful stay. I would definitely book again when in the area. I felt such peace and serenity sitting under the stars, in front of the crackling campfire. It was me and the hubby with 2 of our girls ages 10 and 16. They loved the hot tub and s’mores:). Thanks for the stay.

Was the perfect little get away for us. And it was nice to find a place that accommodated the dogs so well. We appreciated being able to get to places easily but at the same time have a peaceful place to return to.

I booked Nidhi's place for one night for myself and a guest to attend a show at Bearsville. The placement of everything, inside and outside, created an intentional sense of comfort. My guest arrived after me - without a thought, we ended up at the kitchen table talking for hours before the show. Again, the placement of this conversation spot felt intentional, but only after we found ourselves engaged in it. The outdoor surroundings are utilized to not only accent, but to enhance the indoor setting. The whole experience felt private and safe, and allowed us to share a really precious window of time for reconnection and decompression. In addition to the appealing aesthetics (the chosen blue for that kitchen!), the bedding was a treat to come back to at the end of the night - so inviting and equally comforting to find yourself wrapped up in in the morning. Nidhi so kindly messaged me out of concern for the very high winds we were experiencing (prepared with a generator), but no issue.

We absolutely loved our quick getaway from the city at Kate’s lovely home. It is hard to articulate in words just how beautiful of a home and location this was. It was truly magical. We were very comfortable as a family traveling with young children. Despite the weather being a bit chilly, we had a wonderful time soaking the views and discovering “treasures” by the water. We cannot wait to come back again soon.

Adorable cottage absolutely ideal for unplugging and relaxing

Darla’s cottage was such a sweet spot for a weekend getaway. Super cozy, clean, and peaceful—exactly what we were looking for. It felt tucked away in the woods but still really easy to get to, and just a few minutes down the road from Rough Cut Brewing, which was a big plus. We loved being able to grab some beers, then come back and relax inside. Darla was a great host—friendly, but gave us plenty of space. Would totally stay again next time we’re in the area!

"This feels like home already." That was my 8-year-old's response to this sweet Kerhonkson cottage, just one hour after we arrived. I could end my five-star review there but I'll add some perks listed and not listed, which we really enjoyed. Prime location. The cottage is within a 20-minute radius of so many wonderful spots. We come for the Bonticue Crag rock scramble but stay for Saunderskill Farm, Upstate Taco, Bluebird Wine and Spirits and so much more. The creek. My kids walked there barefoot and sunned on the rocks. If you're lucky: farm fresh eggs are sold on the honor system on the main road just past the creek. The shower. You'll see. Smaller perks: The back deck gets great sun. So much closet/drawer space to organize your stuff. Lighting options galore, and almost all of them on dimmers. Sonos sound system and a charging station. The cozy office space, in case you have to "check in" or if you just want some alone time. Thank you, Consuelo! We'll be back.

We had nice weekend at the cozy cottage. We loved that it was pet friendly and a short walk to the beach. Cameron was very friendly and responsive. She offered great suggestions for food and activities.

We had a wonderful stay at Bear Cottage. The house accommodated our family of four, with each of us in our own private bedroom and sharing two full bathrooms. We especially enjoyed lounging on the front porch, just off main street and an easy walking distance to all the stores in town as well as a nice local hike (Tanbark Loop). We also enjoyed the backyard, which was spacious enough for lawn games and included a nice fireplace.

We had a great time at the cottage! Phoenicia is a short bike ride or drive away. We did a ton of hiking, biking and paddle boarding during our stay and the cottage was a great place to unwind from those activities and rest up for the next day!

The cottage was very clean and homey. Very convenient to new paltz and local hiking. Peaceful and quiet area. Plenty of fire wood and kitchen was stocked with snacks. We had a great stay and Amitai was very responsive and helpful. Would definitely recommend this place!

Beautiful, comfortable home. Went up for a few days of peace and quiet and got exactly what we were looking for. The cottage is well stocked, clean, and cheerful. Clear instructions made check in/out and getting around the area a breeze. The stream out back burbled like something out of a fairytale and was the perfect background noise for a countryside getaway.

We had a lovely stay at Monica’s place. It was a cozy getaway from the city and we had a wonderful weekend trip to the nearby towns. The space is exactly as listed and even cuter in person. Highly recommend!

This was our second time staying at the cottage. We had a wonderful stay over the holidays. The cottage was warm and cozy and Linda had tasteful and festive decor in every nook and cranny. We had the pleasure of meeting Linda. She is a truly wonderful person who loves what she does and it shines through in her beautiful property. So much attention to detail throughout the house. We hope to be back again soon!!

Lovely little cottage with all the necessary amenities. Really enjoyed our stay!

I had an absolutely fantastic stay at Judy and Eric’s cottage! The space was cozy, spotless, and had everything I needed for a comfortable getaway. But what truly made this experience special was their incredible hospitality. A snowstorm hit during my stay, and Judy and Eric went above and beyond by allowing me to stay extra time to ensure I was safe. Their kindness and generosity truly made a difference, and I couldn’t be more grateful. The cottage itself is peaceful and charming, with a breathtaking view into the woods that made for the perfect escape. Waking up to that scenery was one of the highlights of my stay! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and welcoming retreat. Thank you, Judy and Eric—I will definitely be back!

Great time at Star Cottage! Five Stars! So comfortable and warm. Especially over the holidays. Nikki is a great host.
