Newly renovated cottage, steps from private beach. Whether you enjoy walking, biking, swimming, fishing, kayaking, or the daunting task of napping in a shady hammock, this is the place is for you. Near Metro North and I-95, just an hour from Manhattan. Bring back memories of childhood summers—put your toes in the sand and your mind at ease, while enjoying the tranquility of this spectacular Long Island Sound getaway in Fairfield.

The space

Our cottage is just steps from a private beach (directly across the street). Everything is newly renovated, but has that rustic seaside feel. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor space for a family getaway, with Wifi for connecting to the world and even more opportunities to disconnect as needed.

Guest access

Guests have use of the entire cottage, as well as unlimited access to the sunshine, sand, and sea.

Great Gull Island Properties’s home is located in Fairfield, Connecticut, United States. Admittedly, it would be easy to hide away here for a week or more, without making much contact with anyone other than the gulls. That being said, Fairfield is also rich in foodie and entertainment options. Food: From pasta to pizzas, seafood to sushi, barbecue to burgers, and way beyond, you’d be hard-pressed not to find something for everyone, just blocks from the cottage. Brews: There is also a major movement of local area micro-brews, available in and around Fairfield, for those in need of adult beverages. Tunes: There is plenty of great live music and entertainment at the Fairfield Theater Company and the Quick Center (Fairfield University), and one of the state’s best weekly open mic night’s at the Acoustic Cafe in Black Rock.

Getting around

We’re an easy bike ride to town, a longer walk, and a really short drive or Uber trip. The cottage is roughly a half mile from the Fairfield Metro North Train Stop (which is roughly an hour from Manhattan), and is a hop, skip, and a jump from Interstate 95 and the Merritt Parkway.
