Rare opportunity to live directly on a private beach in Westport this summer. This new home on Saugatuck Island is offered for the first time as a rental. Three plus floors, high ceilings, luxurious 4-bedroom 3700sqft home on the beach offers the unique sensation of floating on Long Island Sound through floor-to-ceiling windows that bring the views and lapping sounds of the tides inside. A large, furnished terrace opens to the beach and is ideal for entertaining. Step from its tiled floor onto the sand for a morning swim or kayak, then shower off the salt and sand in the teak-lined outdoor shower. This open-air, covered space on the beach is a retreat from the summer heat, or a cozy spot with electric heaters for chillier nights. Above it, the main floor is a 70ft-long open-plan space with waterviews in 3 directions framing a gourmet kitchen, dining area, family room and a south-facing balcony, plus an office and butler's pantry. The 4 bedrooms are all en suite incl. a stunning primary suite with a dramatic corner water view and spa bathroom. A 3rd-floor den with wet bar and balcony can be another spot for yoga, sunset cocktails or used as a hangout. Finished off with a 2-car garage and whole-house generator, the beachside home is conveniently located near Saugatuck Village's restaurants & cafes. An 8-minute drive to the train station gets you to Grand Central in as little as 68 min. Enjoy graceful private island living with effortless access. *Three month minimum lease
