House vacation rentals in Essex

This was the perfect spot for what we were looking for as my son graduated from Conn College. The host was very responsive to my questions and flexible with check in times which we needed. House was exactly what was described and we had a wonderful time. Thank you!!

Beautiful home, very clean, spacious and comfortable to stay with the family. We used the grill on multiple occasions and it was easy to use. The fire pitt was also enjoyable. The kitchen was well stocked, would bring own source of caffeine if you’re picky with your coffee though. Stephen, the host was very responsive and easy to reach when asked questions. The one thing I would recommend is to check in with the host if the pool is available to use prior to booking. Overall a great experience, would stay with them again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay in Mystic at this great home. The pool was the biggest hit, but the kitchen/living room area was an amazing place for our group to gather for meals and games. Location is spectacular as you can just park at the house and walk to all the great restaurants the area has to offer and if you have kids, there’s a great playground just a short walk away. We would definitely stay here again!

We had the most beautiful weekend stay at Tim’s home! Everything is accurately described and the pool and hot tub were amazing!! All the beds were very comfortable. Was perfect for a 5 girl weekend getaway!! Tim was incredibly communicative and checking in was a breeze. The location is PERFECT in East Hampton!! So many amazing restaurants and bars nearby. 100% will stay here again for my next Hamptons trip. Thank you so much Tim!!

We had a great time at AJ's place! The space is very spacious and comfortable, everything was clean, and the backyard was PERFECT for our group. Close to casinos and restaurants. Highly recommend for groups and families!

Great location, private and comfortable. Close to wineries and breweries. Very clean and convenient. I highly recommend.

The house was perfect for my family. I loved the convenience of the one-floor layout and way it allows views of the pool and deck from the almost everywhere so we could enjoy it even when the weather didn't cooperate and we couldn't swim. The family /living room was comfortable and great for relaxing or watching a film. The lower level playroom was great fun with ping pong and billiards set up in two areas. We found everything we needed including electric outlets where you need them. The location was great for us and our rides to Montauk and the other towns in the area for museums and restaurants and views. The only thing less than perfect was low water pressure in the master bath sinks and shower, which Abigail said the plumber was addressing. She was extremely responsive and helpful.

I loved spending my birthday with my family. It was the perfect place for my family. Everything was so clean and organized. I am very grateful for everything. Thank you

Fantastic cute spot in Old Saybrook. Key things for future guests to know - there is no A/C in the winter months so the air can get a bit stale / stuffy in the house. Plus there is no washing machine / dryer in the house, so defo bring enough clothes!

My husband, dog, and I LOVED our stay here- so much that Danielle accommodated for us to stay an additional day! It was the perfect location. Private enough where we felt secluded, but yet right off of a main road with so many great restaurants to walk to! The beach was about a 5 minute walk, and left us with the perfect spot and feeling like we had the beach completely to ourselves the days we were there. We are already talking about going back, and can’t wait to plan our next trip. Thanks so much!

Michael and Alyssa’s property was as described - actually felt more spacious than we expected. The layout was perfect for our party and TV/Wi-Fi facilities were excellent. The weather was inhospitable but they can’t be blamed for that!

Rosemary was an excellent host and the home was clean, well stocked and felt very comfortable as a home away from home while traveling. We especially enjoyed the community’s private beach, using the provided parking pass, which was clean and calm water for children. After checkout I had left a pair of glasses and Rosemary let me know right away and assisted me in retrieving them before we left town which was much appreciated. The amenities for staying with a child were so helpful (changing table, pack & play, high chair, baby gate for stairs, beach toys). Would definitely recommend. Thank you!

Can not recommend more! Beautiful house and perfect location! Would love to come back. Kids loved the beach and finding shells and little sea creatures in low tide!

Our stay was perfect! Relaxing and inviting.

Chelsea was communicative and helpful about her beautiful house. It had all we needed, was well appointed, beautifully decorated and in a gorgeous natural setting. We spent time lounging in the living room as a family and it was so comfortable. Top notch! Grab this place now!

This house and host exceeded all expectations. House was historic facing the CT River & Goodspeed Opera House. Great sunsets. House is clean and well appointed with comfortable beds and bathroom facilities. Kitchen is spacious and eating areas comfortable. Andrea is extremely responsive and accommodating. Will be back again.

We did enjoying when staying Marina's house. The place was beautifull, clean and cozy. Very recommeded!!! Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely nest!

This lovely home is near the adorable town of Chester, and surrounded by beautiful nature. It’s fun to poke around, and get a coffee or dinner. We felt like we walked into a Katherine Hepburn movie! The house is 20 minutes away from Wesleyan, and it makes a great place for a whole family if you are visiting a student. We would gladly stay again.

We had a wonderful stay at Eileen’s place. Many great restaurants close by…Lenny’s, Dockside and Rosso Vino we enjoyed. Delicious ice cream spots..Bishop’s Orchard Creamery and Ashley’s.

We had a great stay at this cottage- it was a perfect size for our family and was extremely clean, warm and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the quick walk to the beach, and proximity to town. Hosts were very friendly and responsive but never intrusive. Would highly recommend.

Sandy and Ian were perfect hosts! Quick to respond to any queries and extremely welcoming. The cottage was clean and well stocked with all needed supplies. I cannot express how happy we were with our stay. Thank you once again Sandy and Ian for making our stay comfortable and stress-free!

We were in Connecticut for our nephew's graduation from Yale. While searching for a house that could accommodate 8 people, I came across this beautiful home. When arriving and walking into the house, it exceeded all of my expectations. It was absolutely gorgeous and only a few steps to the beach. Our family could not stop talking about how exceptional the house was. The little town of Old Saybrook was so cute as well. I would highly recommend this amazing house to anyone that is staying in the area. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.

This house had so many amenities and was exactly as described! We enjoyed having access to grills, a hot tub, game room, and all of the household/beach necessities! The house and game decor were super cute and the adults loved the competitive scrabble game on the wall. There was a small ant problem in the kitchen (which the owner was aware of) that was there despite attempts to keep the dishes and garbage can clean, but that was our only minor complaint. Overall, loved the place and would consider staying here again!

This was our second stay at this lovely home. It was the perfect place to spend a week celebrating our 51st anniversary! The house itself is beautifully decorated, impeccably clean, and offers everything we could need for cooking, comfort, and leisure. We especially enjoyed the gas fireplace and the hot tub! We made good use of the local beach pass that was furnished for us. The two very close by beaches were well-maintained and very enjoyable. We would highly recommend this location and plan to make this our go to Airbnb when we are in this area. Irina is the perfect host! She is extremely responsive and reliable.
