Steps to Shore: Family Beach Getaway in Westport

Reviews

• A Hidden Gem in Westport – Perfect for Family Getaways!

  4/5

  We were pleasantly surprised the moment we arrived—this home exceeded all our expectations! While we were initially a bit skeptical (as you sometimes are with online listings), the photos simply didn’t do this property justice. The home is even more spacious and inviting in person.There was plenty of room for our whole family to gather for meals, games, and puzzles, yet it also offered enough space for people to spread out and enjoy some quiet time alone. The game room and billiards table were a big hit, and the kitchen was well-equipped for cooking family meals. The washer and dryer were a huge plus, especially for those in our group who had been traveling.The beach access was fantastic—just a short walk across the street and down a little boardwalk and we were there. We spent time fishing and even drove just a few minutes up the road to go crabbing on the Westport docks.A few small things to note: the light-colored furniture in the family room made us a little nervous with kids in tow, and you can hear every step from the upstairs rooms when you’re in the bedrooms below—no matter how quietly people walk. It also seemed like a few finishing touches were still in progress (like the absence of end tables), but there were plenty of towels and we felt safe and comfortable throughout our stay. The neighborhood was quiet and friendly.All in all, it was a wonderful stay, and we’re already talking about coming back. This place really made for a memorable family trip!
