Guilford House | Mid-Century Shoreline Cottage; Birder Paradise

3 Bedroom House in Guilford

Experience the serene beauty of Guilford at our charming 3-bedroom cottage in the picturesque Mulberry Point area. It's just a two-minute walk from the shoreline, which has a free public beach with parking—and it's dog-friendly. It's a perfect retreat for nature lovers and beachgoers, offering both the tranquility of nature and the convenience of nearby attractions and amenities.
Scenic Views and Natural Surroundings
Our cottage features a large raised deck off the kitchen, providing beautiful views of a vibrant salt marsh and glimpses of the Long Island Sound during the fall and winter seasons. The deck is a birdwatcher's paradise, with frequent sightings of ospreys, cardinals, blue jays, hawks, playful chipmunks, bunnies, deer, opossums and other wildlife. A quiet, wooded trail adjacent to the house offers peaceful walks to the Tuttle's Point, Mulberry Point, and Indian Cove areas.
Local Attractions and Convenience
It's a 15-minute scenic walk or a 5-minute drive to Chaffinch Island Park, a local gem where you can relax by the water or enjoy a barbecue. Down the road is a trailhead to Westwoods for hiking; easy access to explore 39 miles of hiking trails. We are conveniently located just one mile from the historic Guilford Green, the Guilford Library, and various shops and restaurants. Additional nearby attractions include Branford, with its ferry service to the Thimble Islands, Stony Creek Brewery, galleries, seafood, local theater, and other dining options. We're 15 minutes to Madison, Hammonasset Beach, Chatfield Hollow State Park, and numerous hiking, kayaking, swimming, and dining spots.
Comfortable and Well-Appointed Accommodations
The mid-century house accommodates up to four guests across three bedrooms: one with a full/queen bed and half-bath, a second queen bedroom with desk, and a third with a single bed desk, and Smart TV. Each bedroom has large closets, 100% cotton linens, duvets, and comfortable bedding. The main bathroom includes both a shower and a tub. Our sunlit living room boasts a rose granite wood-burning fireplace, an Eames lounge chair, fast 5G WiFi, Xfinity cable package, and an Amazon Echo for music. The kitchen is fully equipped with all necessary cooking essentials, but please note there is no dishwasher. Laundry facilities are conveniently located on the main floor. We have a charcoal grill and electric weber, off the side of the deck.
The 700 sq. foot walkout basement offers a lightly furnished space with a 43" Smart TV, a bar, and access to an outdoor patio.
Travel and Accessibility
Our location is only a mile from Guilford Green and a minute’s drive to the Shoreline East train station, with connections to New Haven, New York City, and Boston. We welcome one well-behaved dog, making our cottage a great choice for pet owners.
