"Meteor": River View Penthouse in Downtown Mystic
We will definitely stay here again. The apartment is pristine and decorated perfectly. We played records on the antique player and relaxed on the deck overlooking the Mystic River. Bed is very comfortable. Big roomy bathroom with a soaking bath. Fully equipped kitchen. Didn’t miss a TV. Assigned parking is a HUGE bonus. Aiden was great and polite and answered all of my questions promptly.

Stony Crk Studio ideal for trvl nurses…
Great stay in Stony Creek Village with a view of Long Island Sound and short walk to the pier, Stony Creek Market (breakfast & lunch). I used the Library and went to services at the Stony Creek Congregational Church. Overall, a nice experience.

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!

Cozy Private Lake Q Retreat
Great little spot. This rental has everything you need. Forget something-they got it. Very clean and modern with thoughtful touches. Had an extended stay here and extended for longer. 1 bedroom with loft that owner made into another bedroom for me. Loved it. Great deck, stunning lake view from all the windows. Owner very responsive to any needs. 100 percent recommend. Neighborhood lovely and quiet. Amazing respite.

Mystic River Getaway - Walk To Downtown & Seaport!
Our stay at this lovely Mystic apartment was nothing short of perfect. The location near the river made for a peaceful and scenic escape, and it was just a short walk to everything—shops, restaurants, and the mystic drawbridge. The apartment itself was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated with charming coastal touches. I especially loved enjoying my morning coffee on the front porch. We took the kayaks out for a paddle right from the end of the street from property—such a peaceful way to experience the Mystic River!

The Millhouse Downtown Chester
This is our second time staying at this property. Four of us were visiting people in the area and The Millhouse is a great location to explore the area, with nice places to eat only steps away on Chester Center Main Street. The stream-side location makes it a very unique experience and the interior of the property is very nicely decorated and maintained.

Cozy Apartment with Water View of Brook
We were recently in town to visit family, staying at Traci’s made our visit enjoyable and relaxing. Check-in was easy, the apartment was clean with a comfortable bed and a peaceful view of the brook. Overall, we had a pleasant stay, thank you Traci!

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!

Direct Waterfront / Riverside
Jim’s place was great, with plenty to see in the area. We ended up spending most of the time enjoying the little beach and kayaks. Very cute house with plenty of room and we’ll stocked kitchen. The grill made for a perfect Labor Day cookout looking out at the water. Would stay again.

Boulder Lake House Retreat
Great stay! Although it was a rainy weekend, we had a great weekend!! There were close restaurants and coffee shops and the house itself was perfect. Great aesthetic to the home, very cozy and relaxing.

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.

The Perch
I have stayed at lots of places in the last few years . . . and this place ranks right at the top. It is beyond beautiful. The water views from the living room and both bedrooms made it hard to leave and come home. It's actually even more amazing than the pictures. Don't think twice! Book this place now!

Niantic Cove Waterfront Escape: Relax & Unwind
Great little house. Very well stocked and very clean. High quality all around! Little beach area is very rocky so not for lounging but a great launch point for small boats. Water in the area is very calm. Neighborhood is very quiet and cute with lots of amenities.

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!

BEACH FRONT COTTAGE OVERLOOKING THE SOUND
This is a charming house in a pretty busy spot along a beach entry. Lots of people like to hang near the house at the entry and walk by on the stone wall. We were there during a quiet , cool time so most days it was peaceful. However, on the warm sunny Saturday/Sunday of Memorial Day weekend it was very busy with people chatting outside the window until fairly late. I did not find it a major negative since we enjoy a lively space but I think it is something you might want to know if you have young children who go to bed early. The view is spectacular and the neighborhood is great to take a walk.

Connecticut Chalet - Private Pond, Firepit, Views!
My family had a great stay at Amanda's place. It was the perfect vacation spot - we really enjoyed the panorama view! Everything was just as described and we felt right at home.

Sun N Sound Resort, Montauk, NY
Perfect spot for a Montauk getaway. Walking distance to everything dockside has to offer, great pool and lounge chairs on the property, very simple check-in via code with the front desk. Nick was kind and communicative our whole stay. We’ll be coming back!

Beautiful condo on Long Islands Northfolk
We very much enjoyed our stay at the Cliffside for our wedding weekend! Alice was very flexible with us, which we appreciated because getting married is chaotic enough LOL. Would highly recommend staying here. The unit was spotless and had a wonderful view. We could not have asked for a better stay!

Montauk Waterfront Condo w/ Sunset Views
We loved Montauk - low key, wild and upmarket at the same time. This apartment was perfect, super quiet yet near everything and loved seeing wild deer from the terrace

Cozy Vacation Villa 5 minutes from Mohegan
The stay was very peaceful, friendly neighbors. The scenery was great, Desiree was there for any concerns we had, and with timely response. I would anyone that want a pleasurable stay while in Norwich, this is the place to be. Thanks again, for a wonderful stay. William & Potreen

Beautiful Waterview Condo on the North Fork of LI
Great retreat for a long weekend. Enough space for family of four. Easy access to everything in the Greenport area. Mia was very responsive, and the place was great. We would stay here again!

We really enjoyed staying at Lynn’s place! Very clean and had a great view of the ocean from the deck. Lynn was very responsive and made the experience seamless. We would definitely stay with Lynn again.

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!
