UPDATE The Zillow.com real estate website today highlighted a $90,000 Westport summer rental in a round-up of celebrity renters and landlords.![]()

It did not pinpoint the owner or location of the six-bedroom, five and a half bathroom, 6,079 square foot home other than to link to a listing describing it as on four acres of former Audubon Society property on Westport’s “Gold Coast.”
However, local real estate agents said it was at 69 Beachside Ave. and noted that Zillow.com erroneously reported it as a $90,000 a month rental when it actually is for the Memorial Day to Labor Day weekend period. They also said the current listing price was $3.995 million.
The listing said the property has sweeping lawns and a “pond, big enough for a kayak, with a private island.”
It said the landscaped grounds feature a pool and Har-Tru tennis court and is steps from the beach. The house has a spectacular entry hall with 25-foot ceilings “that leads to the living and dining rooms, library and glorious kitchen that offers family dining and a sitting area.”
The listing said a playroom and au pair quarters included and that the second floor has a master wing with a fireplace, dressing room and “spectacular bath.
A separate wing has three bedrooms and two baths while the third floor has two bedrooms and two baths. A lower-level wine cellar completes the interior, it said.




Since the property is listed on the Greater Fairfield County CMLS, I am happy to give more specific information: the property is located at 69 Beachside Ave., and is listed three different ways:
—for sale at $3,995,000 (not $5.95M)
—for rent as a “yearly rental furnished” at $12,000/month
—for rent as a “summer rental furnished” at $90,000/term (term is Memorial Day weekend through the day after Labor Day)
Surely a beautiful place to call home full-time or just for the summer!
Surely Westport Now knows a Realtor in town & could have reported & corrected the inaccurate (not for the 1st time) Zillow information – I would be happy to help next time as I’m sure David would also.
