Apartment in Stonington
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 266 reviewsMystical Ocean View in Historic Stonington Borough
Best things about Sam's place are the location and the amount of room to spread out in the unit. Great, picturesque location right on Stonington Harbor. There was plenty of room for our party of 4 and the place could accommodate 6 people easily. There are a few quirks to the unit but nothing you wouldn't expect in a semi historic building and they are also disclosed in the listing. Sam is a friendly and responsive host. My wife loved that the unit has a hair dryer with a diffuser.

This home is gorgeous, peaceful, and in a fantastic location. We were within walking distance of downtown Mystic and seaport museum and only a short drive away from the aquarium and old Mystic Village. Both hosts were incredibly kind and responsive, making us feel right at home! They gave us great recommendations for restaurants and local activities, and the check in/check out process was super easy. This was a fantastic experience!!

My daughter and I were repeat guests at this location. Our return visit did not disappoint. It was clean, quiet convenient and the host was available if needed, but otherwise left us free to enjoy ourselves.
Apartment in Middlebury
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 105 reviewsCozy Apartment with Water View of Brook
Perfect “Connecticut” destination for a restful, cosy & comfort “couple get-away” vacation in Middlebury, CT. Traci’s home located in walking distance to restaurants, coffee-shops and the Middlebury Greenway for a walking, biking & cross country skiing when it snows! Traci’s home has a private entrance to her “basement” with gorgeous window-views over looking Hope Brook river. My husband & I came up to visit my family at the annual Middlebury Christmas tree lighting. There was snow on ground, so we had a perfect “Connecticut Christmas”. Traci’s gracious hospitality, is the perfect “home away from” for a couple or single person to relax and escape the stresses of life.

This was a quick trip to the area to break up the drive to a further destination. Joy's little 18thc apartment was perfect. Joy met and explained everything needed, and was very helpful with local suggestions for dining and activities.Was'nt here long enough to experience any of the hiking trails,.etc but truly seems like a place I'd like to return. if you're lucky, you will meet the inimitable Baloo!

My friends and I have stayed in many AirBnbs and they don’t come as pristine and amazing as this one! Liza was an absolute sweetheart and had every amenity listed, the sugar cookies and home baked muffins were delicious, the house was spotless and the linens and beds were so comfortable. We would 100% stay here or in any property that is hosted by Liza again. It was a perfect house for us to spend our weekend and the commute to Hartford was simple and easy.

Home in Preston
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 32 reviewsLarge Island Lake House, near casinos
We loved the lakehouse! The setting and house were more beautiful than the photos. Panoramic lake views abound from inside and outside the house. The kitchen has new appliances and the house was toasty on a few very cold days. Also, there is a nice fire pit, outdoor lounge area, and a new dock that is amazing at night to walk out onto and gaze up at the stars. The sunrises and sunsets are visible from the property and provide a bonus. It’s very peaceful and everyone in my group slept well. I hope to be back in the warmer weather to swim, kayak, and unwind.

We absolutely loved our stay at Stephanie’s home. We had a dinner party with my family and she went out of her way to accommodate us. The home was clean, cozy, and the views of beach were just breathtaking. Cant wait to come back in the summer!
Waterfront condo rentals
Condo in Old Lyme
4.5 out of 5 average rating, 12 reviewsFreeboard at Soundview · Beach+Ocean+Sunrise
Rate was great, it was off season. Cleaning fee is a little nutz considering it is tiny. VERY clean, perfectly functional. I wasn't a fan of the mattress, way too soft for me, but maybe that is just me :-) Overall I would happily stay there again. It was quiet, the other tenants were very friendly.

Condo in Norwich
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 29 reviewsCozy Vacation Villa 5 minutes from Mohegan
We had a peaceful, pleasant stay at Desiree's AirBnb. We chose the location as we were seeing a concert at Mohegan. The condo was less than a 5 minute drive to Mohegan which was perfect for us, yet very peaceful and serene considering how close it is. The bed was very comfortable and it was very quiet. We enjoyed the hot tub in the club house after a day of walking (we went to Mystic seaport, which is about 25 minutes away). The condo was very clean although the soaps in the shower need a refill. We overall really enjoyed our stay at the condo, the surrounding area and the hot tub. Next time we will utilize the services at the Norwich Inn & Spa, which is walking distance to the condo. Thank you Desiree!
