This Spacious Brick Beach House gives you the true New England experience, with Ocean Beach Park just steps away! The home is a split level design.

Beach passes ARE NOT included with booking; can be purchased at Ocean Beach Park admission booth(s). Public commercial olympic sized pool located at Ocean Beach Park (pool passes ARE NOT included w/ booking; can be purchased at park). Unfortunately dogs (pets) are not allowed inside Ocean Beach Park.
Ocean Beach Park is down the street from the home, open Memorial Day to Labor Day. It is less than a 3 minute walk, only a block away, to the patron walk-in admission booth. Walk down the driveway and take a right, follow straight down until you reach the park entrance.
Guests are able to utilize Alewife Cove for water activities such as kayaks, canoes, or paddle boards (NOT included). Guests are expected to comply with the CT water safety guidelines/requirements. There is a water access area 5 blocks away where you can access the water on Parkway Drive (Waterford, CT). It is a very short walk across the bridge (to the right) that brings you to the water access area.
Besides water activities, the immediate area is a great place for walking, jogging, or bike riding.
All photos also act as a digital floor plan/walk through of the home.
Guests have access to the entire home. We are only steps away from Ocean Beach Park: Open from Memorial Day - Labor Day. No need for parking; you are a short stroll or bike ride from all the summertime fun Ocean Beach Park offers. Once there, the beach also has picnic tables, showers & bathrooms, which is amazing to have as a convenience! All you need to bring is the suntan lotion!
