Hawks Nest "The Pioneer" Cottage By the Sea

Nestled oceanside in the charming coastal town of Old Lyme, Connecticut, "The Pioneer" is the quintessential character-filled New England Beach House. Offering breathtaking waterfront views and relaxing ocean breezes, all your worries will be left at the door.

The natural light that flows into the bright and airy great room will beckon you. The space offers vaulted wood beam ceilings, a new comfortable couch and chair, and a smart tv for chilly nights inside after a long day in the sun. The dining table is also located in the great room and is ready to host a grand breakfast of fresh croissants, eggs, or fluffy pancakes before you and your crew head out to the beach for the day. The loft bedroom entrance is accessible from the sturdy ladder beside the dining table.

Make your way down the hall and into the well-equipped kitchen with every large and small appliance you may need during your stay.

Unit 2 graciously accommodates eight guests spread out over three bedrooms and loft space. Bedrooms one and two have delightful wood beam walls; while the first has a queen bed and ocean views, the second has a full-size bed. The third bedroom boasts a twin over twin bunk with another twin trundle. The loft space is exciting for the kids and has two twin beds. There is one full bathroom conveniently situated between the rooms.

The unit opens directly onto the sand, making the walk to the private beach that much merrier. The kids can grab their boogie boards and toys while you hold the beach chairs, cooler, and bocce so you can bask in the glorious sunshine in no time at all.

Located on a dead-end street, you shouldn't have to worry much about traffic while biking, walking, or playing games in the yard. When you are ready to venture out or grab some groceries, Garvins Store is just a minute's walk down the road and has everything you may need for your stay, including fresh donuts, hot brewed coffee, books, sunscreen, snacks, groceries, and more.

Your summertime stay in Old Lyme is sure to be one filled with warm, whimsical, and lasting memories!
