Walk to Beach (less than 1 Mile), Newly Renovated

4.91 out of 5 average rating, 44 reviews8 months ago

Gregg was easy to work with and was very responsive. The house is less than a mile to Scarborough beach. The house had all the amenities our guests needed. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The deck was great for eating dinner or hanging out. The yard was big enough for outdoor games. The house came with plenty of beach chairs, boogie boards and even a cornhole set. They even had locks for your bike. I rarely give 5 star reviews, but in this case it is appropriate. Would love to rent again. Thanks for helping to make this a great family vacation.

Magnificient MONTAUK at the BEACH

4.8 out of 5 average rating, 116 reviews8 months ago

We loved our girl's weekend trip at Nanette's home and will be returning next summer! Walkable distance to town, less than a 5-minute walk to the beach, and her home was very home-y! Nanette is very responsive and was very helpful with check-in and check-out! We loved hanging out on the deck and she has lots of beach chairs, towels, and linens for the house. Great deal for the location of the house and the best part was she has two powerful AC units that keep the place cool and refreshing.

Green Hill Getaway

5 out of 5 average rating, 18 reviews8 months ago

This house was spotless. Everything felt clean, the beds, the bathrooms. 5 bedrooms all nice size and clean. No carpets which is fantastic when you allow dogs. So happy to bring my two Bostons. Plenty of supplies and kitchen utensils. Nice backyard and neighborhood. AC worked great. The only thing I would recommend is a door on the outside shower. From CT and we don’t have outdoor showers so it would have been nice to have everyone shower outside. Other than that it was perfect for my family. Loved having the bikes ! Jackie left us wine and snacks totally appreciate it. We had a great week.

Waterfront Beach Cottage

4.88 out of 5 average rating, 147 reviews7 months ago

Allyson’s home was in a beautiful location. We loved the uniqueness of the home. We came for a music festival and were surprised to find out it was a neighborhood porch festival. The neighbors let us know and invited us to join in the fun - as they had 3 bands playing on Saturday. It was so much fun and gave us a glimpse of the welcoming neighborhood. Now we want to come back next year for PorchFest!

Mystic Blue Belle - a Vacation Paradise

I'd be happy to improve your Airbnb review while keeping it casual! Here's an enhanced version: We absolutely loved our stay at the Blue Belle! This charming home has so much character and is thoughtfully stocked with everything needed. The location couldn't be better - just a quick walk to all the attractions in Mystic. Andrea was an amazing host who clearly takes pride in her property - the place was spotlessly clean and she made sure we were well taken care of throughout our stay.

Unique Retreat w/Private Patio, 4 King Beds & BBQ

4.99 out of 5 average rating, 114 reviews3 weeks ago

Hope was hands down the most communicative and thoughtful homeowner I've ever had the pleasure of being hosted by. She had every possible concern already considered and ready to address, and she was extremely understanding of case-by-case needs unique to the current guests. I will most likely be finding time to stay at Hope's property again, as she was caring from start to end, and I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet, safe, comfortable property to spend one-or many- nights at. Thank you again for hosting us, and I hope we have the opportunity to book through your place again!

Spectacular Waterfront Home on Private Sandy Beach

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 52 reviews8 months ago

My 4 year old son and I had a wonderful stay! The house is comfortable, clean and has a well equipped kitchen for cooking. We enjoyed going to the private beach where beach chairs, life vests, toys, an umbrella, etc. are provided. There is an outdoor shower conveniently located under the house, along with a swing that my son had so much fun with. The neighborhood was quiet, seemed safe and the neighbors were friendly. Heather was welcoming and very responsive. Thank you!
