Dear Michele
Our two weeks stay at the cottage was a pleasure. The house is well equipped and charmingly decorated and its location is absolutely quiet, just what we were looking for. When we arrived your mother brought us a fresh seafood salad, that was so nice of her and after the long journey a great treat.
There were so many things to do and see and we had a lot of fun. We can recommend the ride with the Essex steam train and river boat, a trip to Boston (it is best to park the car at Quincy Adams MT station, which is just off the highway), the beach at Rocky Neck State Park (only 10 min. by car)is lovely as well as that of Old Blackpoint. Mystic is surely worth the short trip and Mohegan Sun Casino has live music for free four times a week. Niantic!s Colonial Market has everything you need, the fish is fresh and delicious. The Stop and Shop store is huge and offers just everything.
There are several small theaters (e.g. the Goodspeed Opera House, which plays mostly musicals is not far from Essex)and we enjoyed a show at the Westport Country Playhouse, which is about 1 hour to drive (I-95 South). The adjacent restaurant (Dressing Room) was amazing, all organic food traditionally prepared by a top chef.
With all of our activities we found enough time to relax on your lovely porch or in the garden. We really appreciated the bicycles in the shed and all the other things we found there for the beach. As you told me, we just needed our clothes to bring along, everything else is there at the cottage. And, of course, not to forget the internet access, which was of great importance for us.
So everything was fine and we can highly recommend Blackpoint cottage to all people who want to get a good rest as well as enjoy the beach and water activities, hiking, culture, entertainment and undisturbed sleep.
Thank you for all your support and advice that you gave prior to our stay.
We might just come back.
Margret and Walter Ecker
