Mystical Ocean View in Historic Stonington Borough

JanetRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This was possibly the coolest Airbnb I have ever stayed in- the details of this place make you feel like you’re someplace truly special. Sam was amazingly responsive. The descriptions are accurate- that 3rd story spiral staircase is no joke - regardless, I was very comfortable and absolutely loved the setting. Will be back!

Mystic River Getaway - Walk To Downtown & Seaport!

ChristinaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We thoroughly enjoyed our week at this charming home. The location truly is perfect - we walked over to the Seaport one day and took many walks into the downtown area for shopping, meals at amazingly good restaurants, ice cream, and bake shops. Anthony and Kelly were wonderful hosts - the home was just as described and their communication was clear and friendly- just what you want from hosts. We couldn't have asked for more and would be happy to stay here again.

Jennifer’s Historic Downtown Loft

JordynRating, 5 stars5 days ago
The apartment was beautiful and clean. From the directions Jennifer gave us, we were able to find and get into the apartment easily. Also, it was a great location. It was about maybe a 7–10 minute walk to all the restaurants and the downtown area, and we were really close to the College Hill area. Nonetheless, I would highly recommend this place and definitely rebook!

Steps to the Beach. Lovely 2-Bedroom apt

BrennaRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Perfect house for a family/couple visit to the beach. It was great for my kids and I. We loved the space that the house offered and how close it was to the beach. Everyone was very pleasant that we spoke to. The house was clean, safe and felt like a home away from home.

Rare find beautiful studio on the Mystic River

ChrissyRating, 5 stars4 days ago
I can’t express enough how wonderful and memorable our stay was! Description and check in were not only exactly as advertised, but very clear and easy to follow. Lisa proactively reached out morning of check in with detailed instructions that left me with no questions. My son, (who is a couple months under 2), settled right in without hesitation- he didn’t want to leave ! A beautiful, peaceful, safe, clean space and property that was not only affordable, but cozy for us. This kid LOVED the train going by and looking for birds in the yard space. Great location in terms of short drive to the aquarium, museum and walking to downtown mystic with stroller. Already looking forward to planning our next visit

Waterside retreat! 4BR/3BA with private dock/views

EvelynRating, 5 stars7 months ago
We had the pleasure of staying at Alan's place over Labor Day weekend and it did not disappoint. It was a beautiful setting right across from the water with a dock and walking distance to the town beach , where there are also walking paths along the water. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting out on the expansive front porch watching the birds and fishermen. We rented kayaks from the place around the corner. The house is very charming. There are many nooks and crannies to sit and relax and to enjoy the outdoor scenery. There is plenty of space for everyone to spread out and have their own space. The beds were comfortable with two bedrooms upstairs and 2 bedrooms downstairs. You can access the house from the back where it is only one step in and you are on the main level of the home which is really upstairs. The kitchen is more than adequate with upgraded appliances. Alan was a perfect host/ always available to answer any questions. We will definitely be back!

Cozy Waterfront Cottage with a Boat Dock

AmberRating, 5 stars9 months ago
We really enjoyed our stay at Jake's place on the salt pond! The location is wonderful and close to everything-beaches, restaurants, grocery store etc. The house is tiny but felt spacious enough for all 5 of us to have our own space. The newly finished lower level was a bonus. The view was so serene and a nice reprieve after busy days at the beach.

Gorgeous Luxury Apartment Across from Beach

StephenRating, 5 stars7 months ago
We stayed the week after Labor Day, when everything shuts down for the season. That was the perfect time to be there for us because we wanted a quiet place away. It would NOT be quiet during peak season, but you couldn't find a better location to walk over to Scarborough Beach. The deck was our favorite part: the view, lounge chairs, the wall making it somewhat private to the street. We were not there in the heat of the summer, so we didn't use the window AC unit. The ceiling fan in the main room, and ocean breezes, kept things very comfortable. Not sure how the AC would work in heat, it's in the middle of the space, but in the hallway connecting the bedroom to the front room. Things to be aware of: the view comes from the 2nd floor, so you will have to go up a flight of stairs to a platform to the 3 units. The bedroom is above the main door, so you will hear people going in and out. The unit very spacious. Bright, comfortable, beautiful sunrises.

Montauk Waterfront Condo w/ Sunset Views

MollyRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Absolutely wonderful stay and host. I've stayed at dozens of Airbnbs and this is one of my favorites! Doug's place is even better in person than the photos. We were a little nervous taking our first trip away with our baby, but it was extremely clean and comfortable, and Doug was so kind and responsive. The condo complex has a lovely boardwalk for taking walks, and the deck furniture was so comfortable to lounge in and take in the beautiful view. We hope to be back!

King Bed - hot tub - saunas - 1 mile Mohegan Sun

RoshiniRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This villa is a perfect spot for a weekend getaway. Though in a condo complex, the villa itself felt private. The villa is just a few minutes walk from the clubhouse, which has a jacuzzi and pool (open in summers), and the Norwich Inn. We did not get to go to the clubhouse, but the Inn had a great spa and restaurants. The villa is also a 5 minute drive from Mohegan Sun and is accessible via Uber. The fireplace made the villa very cozy. Would definitely stay again!
