BEAUTIFUL VIEWs and natural beauty of the salt marsh with abundant wild life await you at this charming seasonal cottage. Updated cottage straight out of Pinterest offers a feeling of home and relaxation. Just bring your flip flops and enjoy all that BEACH life has offers. Gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, beautiful sandy beaches await you in this Chalker Beach Community of Old Saybrook. You are only steps away from Long Island Sound and private beaches. Launch your kayak (low or high tide) from your own backyard and paddle to the sound. Watch Osprey feeding in their nest while relaxing on your back deck. You can store your kayaks at one of the 2 (two) Chalker Beach Association clubhouses while you enjoy a walk on the beach or fishing. Boating, shopping or dining at one of the many wonderful local restaurants known throughout Old Saybrook is just part of the fun. Stroll Old Saybrook's quaint Main Street and enjoy all that living on the Connecticut Shoreline has to offer. Have an ice cream at Ben and Jerry's next, or frozen yogurt at Luna's or play mini golf at Saybrook Point. This is vacation land.
An added feature is that in 2016 a brand new WPCA compliant septic system was installed.
