The house is an old beauty and was perfect for our stay. Quiet neighborhood. AC that works. Great water pressure. Easy check-in/out. Some of the furniture, most notably the living room couch, were different than the listing pictures. The house is minimally decorated with minimal furniture (no rugs), which gives it a frat house vibe.

The host was very communicative. The rooms were clean and comfortable.There are two rooms with one queen bed in each and another with a king bed. The listing shows two queen beds in one room, but that is inaccurate. There is only a single couch in the living room, so more seating would be desired, but it was comfortable. The dining room was perfect for meals and games. The AC units in each room worked great and allowed for personal control and desired white noise. The kitchen and laundry services were appreciated. The kitchen could use a couple more items (bowls to prep food, etc). But it was well-stocked otherwise. Would definitely return.

Just returned from a four-night stay at Summer by the Shore. Our group consisted of four youth athletes and two parent chaperones. This property was suitable for our needs—a place to eat, prepare for the following day's competition, and lay our heads. Check-in and entry were a breeze. The home was in order and the linens clean. It's located in a safe and attractive neighborhood that made for pleasant evening walks. There is a very nice gated (key provided) community beach just a moment's walk away. The South Norwalk (SoNo) downtown district is close and offers a variety of good dining options. Can't speak to the night life, but I sensed that it might have a pretty good pub crawl vibe after dark. Overall, although the home is a bit spartan, it was adequate for our needs. The host may wish to consider adding a few board games and a deck or two of cards to the closet. A larger screen TV would be a nice addition. The kitchen accoutrements could use some updating. Also, the ceiling smoke alarm just a few feet from the stove top—that needs to go. That said, all in all we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this home for those looking for a budget friendly place to stay.
