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 stars5 days 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.

Great place! It’s in a beautiful neighborhood. We couldnt walk into mystic but that’s because we had little kids with us. So peaceful and relaxing.

We had a great stay at Ana’s home for a night of fun team bonding activities. The house was spacious and lovely with nice views of the river nearby, and we especially loved the giant rock in the basement! Ana was very clear and responsive throughout our stay so everything went smoothly for us.

PRIVATE BEACH: A SLICE OF HEAVEN @ NIANTIC

CarolineRating, 5 stars1 week ago
A fantastic beach house in a wonderful, quiet location, just a twenty-minute walk from all the town’s amenities and restaurants. The house itself offered substantial accommodation across both floors and was exactly as the owner described. Our only small recommendation would be for the owner to provide some blankets around the house. During our stay, the outside temperature dropped as low as 35°F, and although the house has heating, the open-plan living area could get a little chilly. Other than that, we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would certainly recommend this property to any family looking to stay in Niantic.

Water front home with lake amenities

HelenRating, 5 stars3 months ago
We wanted a place to gather with our adult children and 2 very young grandchildren. The layout provided sleep and bathroom space for each family that gave privacy. The open concept living-kitchen space helped us feel like we were together and sharing in the cooking and child care. Even in winter the lake view is peaceful and lovely. Cozy, well equipped, and the lake vibe made this a wonderful family get away. So glad we chose the lake house for our Holiday get together.

Waterfront Salt Pond House, water view and dock

ThomasRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Ames' spot was in an amazing location with beautiful views (and sunsets), great birding (literally from the living room sofa + porch, in addition to the various wildlife refuges nearby), and fun kayaking/paddle boarding from their dock with the supplied boating eqpt. Also a close drive to great beaches, hiking, restaurants, farms, and farmers markets/stands. House itself was great for family (inc. our toddler and her grandparents) and well stocked kitchen equipment was good for when we wanted to cook/bake. AC worked well (including on some high 80s/90+ days) but sliding door screens also nice for the cool ocean breezes. As a host, Ames was proactive + responsive (and even provided a gift card to the local cafe). I'm reaching here for critiques and I think the one thing to maybe add to the stocked kitchen eqpt. is a coffee grinder but overall, would highly recommend Ames' AirBnB!

John and Cathy are amazing hosts. This was our second consecutive summer stay in their condo and it does not disappoint. The place and the amenities they provide are amazing and they are a wonderful couple who respects your privacy but are there for anything you need. I recommend anyone to stay here and know they would want to return. Thank you John and Cathy for making our second summer with you a fantastic vacation!

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 stars4 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!
