The Boathouse, private downtown Harborside suite
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Clean, Comfortable, and Thoughtfully Prepared! We had a great stay! The place was spotless, quiet, and exactly what we needed for a few nights of good sleep and hot showers. It was clear that the host put thought into making guests feel welcome—there was a mini chocolate bar and a bottle of water waiting for each of us when we arrived, which was such a kind touch after a long day of travel. Check-in was smooth, the bed was comfortable, and everything worked perfectly. While we didn’t spend much time there beyond resting, it was the perfect place to recharge. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a clean, convenient, and cozy spot!

studio apartment water forest retreat
I was happy to return to this beautiful & peaceful location for a 2nd time, a literal oasis this visit despite the rain. The design and amenities in the studio are stunning and make for a comfortable, effortless stay. Thankfully a sunny morning enabled an enjoyable lovely wander through the trails on the property, a great way to start my day! Bert is a superb host!

Mystical Ocean View in Historic Stonington Borough
Sam's place exceeded our expectations! The view was marvelous, and the house was beautifully decorated with a wonderful collection of books we truly enjoyed. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, and the room was super clean. We had a great time during our two-day stay. The small town offered so much to explore, and the nearby seafood market was a delightful surprise. we had fresh lobster at a very reasonable price. We highly recommend Sam's place for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway!

Hide Away at Rock Farm UConn Private BnB “5 Star”
To say that our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jeri's place is an understatement. The house was conveniently located in the UConn area; it was quiet, spacious, well-decorated, immaculately clean, and surrounded by a garden and nature. Jeri is responsive and goes out of her way to make sure that we feel right at home. Thank you, Jeri, for the fresh eggs! We can't recommend Jeri's place highly enough for anyone who'd like a quiet retreat in Eastern Connecticut.

entire, private apartment close to the beach
Alisa and Lena's place was really cute, private and comfortable. We had everything we needed for our 2 night stay. Also you can walk a few short blocks to a bird sanctuary!

Historic Stonington Apartment:Walk to Shops+Harbor
Want to stay in a quaint and quiet place that walkable to a Beach? Look no further to this Place. Set inside a classic brick building, this has such character and the Heart of the Town is only no more than one block away. So many places walkable for here and this is a very close knit Community! I would be more than happy to return here again! Thank you so much for hosting!

The Pond Mill Retreat w/ 2 Bdrms & Pool
Dawn and Bob’s place is one of the top Airbnb’s we have stayed in! Top notch in every way. It was spotless, comfortable and had everything we needed. And on top of that Dawn and Bob were the most friendly hosts we have met! I would recommend this Airbnb without reservation and will be back whenever we are back in CT!

Rare find beautiful studio on the Mystic River
Great space, lovely view, and nice amenities. Very close to everything. If you're a very light sleeper, the train may bother you since it starts at 6am - but we had a toddler, so he was fascinated. I would recommend it!
House rentals with beach access

Amazing Beach House
Lots of bedrooms fit our family gathering. Don’t let curb-look fool you. There is plenty of space, especially if weather permits using the outdoor seating area in the back. Beach passes made it possible to enjoy a seaside stroll before heading out to a wedding. Crystal highly responsive & helpful.

Modern Luxurious CT Country Home
The natural setting surrounding the house is lovely and private. The house itself was spotlessly clean and very well stocked with linens, towels, and kitchen tools and supplies. The beds are very comfortable and it's quiet for sleeping. We spent most of our time in the all-glass kitchen, which despite so-so weather felt like we were outside when inside - really special room. Chris was very easy to reach and communicative for anything we needed. We enjoyed a wonderful extended family weekend and would stay again!

Niantic Bay Beach Property
This place was great! My party and I had an amazing stay. The house was very clean and looked like the pictures. The beds were very comfortable as well. Cathy was very communicative and answered all my questions.

Cozy cottage 5 minutes from UConn
Immaculate space. Location and views are incredible. Check in was easy, hosts were very communicative and you can tell they put a great deal of energy into their home. They also included fresh eggs from their farm. We were obsessed with it and will definitely rebook.

C&J Resort 5-12min from Coast Guard & Mohegan Sun
Host was accessible and responded to questions very quickly. House was located right off the highway, easy to find, and located close to many local attractions. We enjoyed our stay.

Harbor Heights
our family enjoyed our time. Thank you!

True Ocean Front Vacationing - Groton/Mystic
The house was very clean, with a beautiful, large, well stocked kitchen. The view was lovely and it was wonderful hanging out on the deck. The beds were very comfortable. The house would be a little more practical if one of the bedrooms had two beds, so more people could sleep in the actual bedrooms. The pull out beds were not as comfortable and the bed in the loft is only accessible with a ladder. However, for a small group or people who aren’t picky about their sleeping arrangements it is a fantastic place to stay. You can’t beat the view and proximity to the water!

Stunning Waterfront Cottage with Big Yard & Dock!
It was a very relaxing home surrounded by beautiful waterfront wildlife( a pair of swans and other birds ) and views. It was well worth the stay and I would like to stay there again and I would recommend it to family and friends in the future.
Condo rentals with beach access

The Anchor at Soundview · Beach+Ocean+Sunrise
Great! Met our needs of staying somewhere for a couple of nights while visiting the area. Just be aware that there are not that many restaurants and shops in the immediate vicinity so you may need to go to towns 30 or so minutes away.

1-BR Condo in Downtown Newport! Steps to Thames St
Very clean, cute and cozy apartment. I had a few general questions and Troy was quick to respond and very friendly. Perfect trip and great stay located walking distance from all the restaurants and shopping. Thank you!!

~"Old Barbershop" Thames Condo+Parking!
We rented Kathi's place for our girls trip to Newport! It was plenty big and spacious to comfortably accommodate our group of 5. The best part is the prime location! Couldn't have asked for a better one - the Bodhi spa is right across the street, good restaurants that we could just walk to, plenty of shopping on the street. Kathi was always very responsive and even gave us early check-in, which we truly appreciated. Having free parking is a bonus on Thames St, you know if you have ever been to Newport! Overall we all had a fabulous time. Thanks Kathi.

Seaside Summer Escape –2BR Waterfront Condo w/Pool
We had a great time at Julie’s place. Would love to visit again…perhaps in the Fall. Loved the balcony overlooking the Sound. Julie was very responsive to my questions. She got back to me immediately. I would highly recommend Julie’s home!

Beachside Waterview 2Br Condo w/ Pool in Greenport
We had a great stay! Instructions were clear and the home had everything we needed.

Deluxe Studio Apt@The Montauk Manor
Just had a wonderful stay at Robert’s place! The place was impeccably clean, and Robert was incredibly responsive and friendly throughout our visit. While the manor has a charmingly vintage vibe and could use a bit of modernization, we truly enjoyed our time there. The warmth of the atmosphere made it feel like a home away from home. We recommend for anyone looking for a cozy getaway!

Beach Escape. Walk to Beautiful Beaches
We love staying here. This was our 3rd or 4th year in a row that we stayed here. It is a great location so close to the beach and the inlet. The unit is always neat and clean and Courtney and Chris are great hosts.

Coastline View Studio
Fantastic weekend spent in Montauk! Close to everything. Matthew was quick to respond to my questions before we arrived. Would defiantly book again!
