Guilford Cottage | 1930s Waterfront Cottage on Tuttle's Point

5 Bedroom Cottage in Guilford

Remember 'doing the dishes' with family members and friends? Do you love an outdoor shower? Visit this charming 1930's summer cottage with direct water access, large screened porch with wonderful 180 degree views of Long Island Sound. Little White Top is unpretentious and comfortable, designed to allow for carefree and peaceful holidays.
The long and airy screened porch overlooking the water is the hub of the home, where everyone wants to gather to read and converse, sharing breakfast, lunch, or cocktails. And it's a wonderful place to watch a thunderstorm! The cottage comfortably sleeps 6 people, with 2 bedrooms on the first floor with queen beds, and 3 bedrooms on the second floor, one with a queen bed, one with a double bed, and the third with a double bed and 2 twin beds. There is ample parking on the property for 4 cars.
Moor your own boat in the waters off the shore. Easy launching of kayaks and canoes can be done directly from the property and from the beach just down and around the corner. Kids can choose to paddle around the protected waters off Tuttles Point or go out to the various rock islands and explore the tide pools there. More adventurous adults can embark on longer paddles to Faulkner's Island Island Light or to Sachem's Head or the Thimble Islands. Enjoy picnics on the front lawn, with ample space for children to play. Sun yourselves and take a dip at the water's edge or take the little ones 600 feet down the hill to the sandy Association Beach. The Cottage also offers a pass for visiting Guilford' Jacob's Beach.
The protected waters off Tuttles Point offer swimming, fishing, and kayaking and their protected nature is especially good for children. At all tides, ospreys, herons, gulls, and other shorebirds seek out these waters and the rich marshlands nearby.
You may notice in the listing there is no TV! Little White Top is the kind of place where you can step aside from your usual routine, listen to one another and the coastal sounds. You are in a different place and there is a strong tradition of Monopoly and Scrabble here!
Tuttles Point is a quiet, low-key residential neighborhood in a private association with its own beach, in the historic town of Guilford. Guilford Town Center offers interesting shopping and fine dining, Shakespeare on the Green in August, as well as craft and antique shows. A Pick-Your-Own farm/orchard is an 8 minute drive from the Cottage. Collect some berries and bake a pie in the simple but well appointed kitchen! Biking and hiking trails are easily accessible, as well as the local Whitfield House Museum. The Peabody Natural History Museum and the British Art Museum at Yale University are a 1/2 hour drive to be enjoyed along with Frank Pepe's Pizza in New Haven, considered to be the very best!

Summary: This is a classic old school New England beach "cottage" - clean, lovely, comfortable! Unfortunately we were only staying for one night but the property manager was able to accommodate our needs. That lovely screen porch was the perfect place to relax and reconnect with family and to greet the sunrise the next morning! Great location near some old favorite Guilford spots - The Place, Ashley's Ice Cream and Bishop's Orchard. Thank you!
