Hamptons Hills Escape
Stunning little spot, tucked away in a quiet and beautiful surrounding. The amenities were wonderful like fresh ground coffee, interesting books, and great vinyl collection. The layout of the house was really cool, including the winding stairs and lofty bedroom. All in all, the perfect spot for a little hamptons weekend.

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”
This is one of the best places I've stayed in a long time. Idyllic, pastoral... it was perfect. Just wish we could have spent longer there! The rooms were spacious and comfortable, the kitchen was very well equipped, and it's hard to argue with a host who keeps the second "B" in "BnB"! there were fresh eggs and milk and pancake mix provided. Our five year old liked watching the chickens and feeding them our food leftovers, and there's a great play area (unfortunately the weather didn't give us much of a chance to use it). We can't wait to find a time to come back! The only tricky bit is not getting confused by the driveway - the host's directions are PERFECT but it takes a sec to realize that you turn in and squiggle between other properties and only then you'll see things you recognize from the photos.

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!

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!

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!

Rare find beautiful studio on the Mystic River
From our first interaction up until check out, Lisa was super responsive and very helpful to us. Everything was clean and things were exactly where she said they would be. The area is gorgeous and it truly is a 4-5 minute drive from Downtown Mystic. A cozy location hidden away from the main road, I would suggest this location to anyone fortunate enough to visit Mystic.

Amazing Beach House
This was our second stay at Crystal's beach house. We love it!! So cozy, perfect layout for our extended family. Crystal is the sweetest, and most thoughtful host! We even found a new waterfall she suggested that we weren't aware of (despite my husband and his family being from the area). We love this home and look forward to staying again.

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!

Cozy cottage 5 minutes from UConn
Wonderful and peaceful stay for a relaxing girls weekend. Outstanding clean and comes with everything you may need. The space is kid friendly, and extremely beautiful. Would definitely stay again.

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!

Harbor Heights
Absolutely phenomenal place! Loved all of CJ’s recommendations and the house itself! Will definitely plan to stay again!

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.

Waterfront Secluded Home with Dock
I hate to say too many great things since I kind of feel like I want to keep this a secret. This is our second time staying here. The location is awesome — spectacular views from any of the many windows in this contemporary style house. The beds are decent and there’s lots of beach stuff (chairs, towels, umbrella) plus kayaks w/life vests. Well equipped kitchen and good size dining room table. And did I mention the views?… of course I did, but it’s worth mentioning again! A great beach about a mile away. Dining choices are limited now because of the tragic fire at the Matunuck Oyster Bar a few nights before our arrival. Our host was kind enough to send us an email prior to our arrival to inform us of this sad event. We had reservations there for our first night at the house. Since we are pretty casual, the food at Captain Jack’s and Jim’s Dock is decent… but sure missed Matunuck Oyster Bar and our hearts go out to all the staff as the busy summer season was about to begin.

Seashore getaway - CT shoreline
Lauren was great and her home was exactly as promised! Great stay and will stay again!

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
I highly recommend staying here as a home away from home retreat! Our stay was relaxing and cozy with a peaceful view of the water. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Coastline View Studio
This was absolutely perfect for our wedding weekend in Montauk. We were so close to everything which made it very convenient. The room was perfect and loved the clothing rack perk! Everything was clean and loved the skylights in the unit and the patio overlooking the water. 10/10 woud definitely stay here again!
