Most Treasured Location
Wake up to the sound of the surf and glorious sunrises. Relax on the spacious patio surrounded by waterfalls and fountains, or enjoy spectacular water views from the wrap-around deck. Observe ospreys and herons searching for food, or just sit back and watch boats go by from the hot tub in the gazebo. Step down to your own beach for sunning, swimming, clamming, fishing, snorkeling, diving. Or go on the dock and take a kayak or dinghy to explore the intricate shoreline along isolated coves, rocky headlands and numerous islets to the archipelago of the Thimble Islands.
The area surrounding SeaScape Villa has often been described as "a piece of Maine that drifted in Long Island Sound and came to rest just in front of the Connecticut coast".
