Experience the Connecticut Shoreline lifestyle on Waterside Lane!

Located 2 hours drive or train from New York and Boston and 45 minutes from Hartford in charming Clinton, Connecticut. Skip the Hamptons and Cape traffic - get there quicker and enjoy more time relaxing!

Built in 1793 on the tidal Hammock River leading to Long Island Sound, Waterside features a private dock with deep swimming hole, sandbar, fishing, and crabbing.

Walk across the historic Waterside Lane Bridge to Clinton Town Beach with its sandbars, nature walk, playground, splash pad, basketball court, kayak racks, sailing lessons, ice cream truck, and more. Or paddle from your front door to explore three local rivers – bring your own kayak, or rent from nearby Indian River Marina. Waterside is THE CLOSEST home to Clinton Town Beach – perfect for a family vacation!

Our family home is decorated in a charming, eclectic coastal antique vibe with original photography throughout. Cook together in the gourmet kitchen with Wolf Sub-Zero appliances, farmhouse sink, marble countertops, and antique French baker's table. Relax in the light-filled Sunroom, or cozy up in the Keeping Room with a good book or binge watch your favorite shows on the 65” Samsung TV.

You also can enjoy a formal meal in the 8-10 person dining room, morning coffee or an evening cocktail on the upper porch overlooking the harbor, open air dining on the waterfront stone patio with a stainless steel grill and fire pit, and relaxing in the sun-filled courtyard with outdoor shower. Outdoor patio seating for 12.

Catch an amazing sunset (check out the pics, no filter!), then retreat to one of four spacious bedrooms featuring high thread count cotton linens with down pillows and comforters. Two en-suite bedrooms on the main level with organic Avocado queen mattresses, and for the kids - or more adults! - there is an entire lower level with two more bedrooms, third bathroom, playroom, books, toys, games, and a 2nd 65” Roku TV. The Sunroom, Keeping Room, and playroom also offer queen sleeper sofas for unexpected guests. Every room has a water view and ocean breezes.

Furnished with a mix of tasteful antiques, cozy contemporary style, and original photography, stocked with beach gear including chairs and umbrellas, plus a dedicated workspace with fast WiFi, you will treasure your time at Waterside!

Other things to note
Waterside has hosted generations of local families and guests since 1793. We are the current caretakers of this very special property and are now delighted to share our home with you. Please be gentle to this place, and treat her with the care and respect she deserves. Also, while we offer two ensuite bedrooms with AC window units the house does not have central air. Please note this before booking. Thank you!
