Seas the Day at the CT Shoreline
Alexandra’s place was a great stay for our weekend get away. Short walk to the beach and near anything else you might need. Alexandra was very responsive and accommodating to any questions we had.

Cozy Beach - Direct Waterfront!
This house is a gem! I came to stay a week in off season with my dog, Rollo. The location is breathtaking, right on the Long Island Sound. We had a great time exploring the beach, looking for all the biodiversity in the birds and sea creatures, watching the boats, and this place is relatively close to an airport so watching the planes land and take off was awsome as well. We came for privacy, and I expected the beach to be a little more private than it was due to my dog's reactivity. But the neighbors did not seem to have issues with us, and once you are close to the water, especially in low tide, the beach is pretty open for all the locals. Walking around, the locals all waved and said hello. Not too many restaurants close by, but the Lobster Shack down the road had good food! Would stay again! The deck alone was worth it!

Zion's Light Beach Cottage
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.

Salty Breeze - Waterfront Cottage on the Cove
I really enjoyed my stay in Waterford! Jesse was very responsive beforehand, and the check in process was smooth. The space was very clean- and I really appreciated the small touches Jesse added with providing toiletries and snacks! I highly recommend and would stay here again.

Ridgeview Suite at Stony Creek Depot
The photos don't do it justice—this charming place is even more spacious than it looks online. The vintage decor added a cozy touch that made us feel right at home. Highly recommend!

BEACH FRONT COTTAGE OVERLOOKING THE SOUND
Beautiful old fashioned beach house with lovely ocean views

Vinola-Lakeside Cabin on Beach Pond with Sauna
Our second stay at Angela’s. This Airbnb never disappoints. A private and relaxing oasis. The cabin is comfortable and well maintained. Quality hosts that make you feel at home. The sauna was clean and always ready to go. Five star Airbnb. Looking forward to our next stay.

Oceanfront Sleeps 12~ Linens inc 3 Bedrooms~2 Bath
The house has beautiful sunset views, quaint neighborhood, centrally located with easy access to stores, restaurants, excellent communication and response time from host.
Beachfront home rentals with a pool

Direct Water Front on Ocean with Heated Pool
This is the 2nd time we have stayed here and hope to return. It is perfect for our family of ten. Six adults and four children. There is something for everyone. There are outdoor activities and indoor activities. The children's books were upgraded this year and a big hit. The pool is delightful and Tyson was proactive in making sure the temperature was right. The house is clean. It has everything you need with no added clutter. Anne was generous in allowing us to stay a bit later when checking out and we appreciated it.

Sun N Sound Resort, Montauk, NY
We had a pleasant stay at Nick’s place. The unit was comfortable and clean. The location was perfect with a beautiful view of the water & restaurants in walking distance. Check-in was very easy and Nick was always responsive.

2BR Guest House on 36 acer Estate Indoor POOl/SPA
This day was exactly what me and my little family needed for my birthday weekend. It was private it was peaceful. The host was very responsive and accommodating to all needs and very understanding. We definitely will be booking again. Can’t wait till next time.!

Gorgeous home with saltwater pool. Steps to beach!
Great place! This was our 2nd year staying at Spencers home and hope to continue coming back!

Beautiful Waterview Condo on the North Fork of LI
Such a beautiful condo by the water! Too bad we stayed in November, we would have enjoyed the terrace way more! Mia was so responsive and helpful with my questions prior to the weekend at her place.

North Fork Sound Front Home with Pool
Such a lovely home right on the water! Spent a cozy New Year’s Eve here with 6 people, great location to downtown Greenport. The home has a ton of character, one of the reasons we’d love to be back!

GORGEOUS, LUXURY, DIRECT WATERFRONT BEACH COTTAGE!
such a relaxing and beautiful place! we loved the location and home.

Oceanfront Condo - Incredible Spring Rates!
Julie’s condo right on the water was even better than the photos could show. Check in was super easy. I had two minor snags and Julie was instantly responsive to solve everything immediately-and even make the stay actually better. The place is spotless clean, well appointed, completely comfortable, and waking up to that expanse of water made me excited to get out of bed and see. It’s a multi million dollar view. At least in this off season this is by far the best deal in Greenport when looking at price to value to living for the moment with water for as far as the eye can see. Great apartment. Great host.
Private beachfront home rentals

Casa al Mare Beachfront Retreat Oceanview
Perfect venue for a Thanksgiving getaway with our whole family. Rather than having out of town family staying at hotels, we could all stay together in a comfortable home with a beautiful view.

Wonderful 4BR Old Saybrook Beach Home!
We had a great experience. The home was beautiful and very clean. The deck off the living room was a great addition to relax and take in the views. We were even able to see the Northern Lights. I highly recommend this Air BNB.

Niantic Bay Beach Property
Cathy communicated great from the beginning. Reached out to us several times and asked if we needed help with anything. All of my party commented on how great a find this location was. Really appreciated everything.

Oceanfront Getaway - Quiet, Firepit + Pvt Beach
This Oceanfront Getaway has amazing views of the ocean from all over the house. We sat on the deck and watched the tide come in, we cooked dinner and watched the tide go out. My family and I took long walks down the very quite beach (right outside the back gate). This section of beach seems to only be used by the people that live in the neighborhood so it did feel almost like a private beach. My kids found so many large sea shells they had trouble picking a few favorites to bring home. There were lots of great places to eat within a short drive. I highly recommend any of the G Cafe and Bakery locations for a great coffee and/or breakfast treat. It was also fun to explore some of the smaller towns nearby like Branford and Niantic both of which offered unique shopping experiences. Marc and team were super responsive and provided many amenities like laundry soap, dish soap, coffee, and creamers. We had so much fun we look forward to a return trip in the future.

Waterfront Home with Private Beach
Brandon's place was dreamy for our two families with young kiddos -- cozy and quiet winter beach vibes, very atmospheric and peaceful and relaxing. We built a fire in the fireplace, watched movies, enjoyed the sunrise and sunset, and walked along the rocky shore. Would recommend, even in the dead of winter.

Oceanside Cottage steps to private beach!
We had a wonderful time! The cottage is well located; we were able to drive back & forth to New London, Mystic, & several other towns. We did so many things on this trip: saw a movie, saw a play, went to Ocean Beach twice, Mystic Seaport, & the Yale Peabody museum. My only complaint is that we should have stayed "home" more & enjoyed our own beach more often! We took walks every day and watched for the tide to reveal the sand bar & walked out there whenever we could, which was so cool! The sound of the water changed when the sandbar was revealed. We found lots of cool shells. We really appreciated the chairs & umbrella in the well stocked shed. We did a little grocery shopping and made egg sandwiches so we only ate out once a day which saved money. I ate my sandwiches outside day & night, something I never do at home. The house was completely stocked with everything needed plus some! The only negative was not enough curtains which made it too bright to sleep & not enough privacy.

True Ocean Front Vacationing - Groton/Mystic
The location of the home is beautiful. The views from the patio and rooftop patio are stunning. The area is so calm and peaceful. The home is unique and beautiful. My wife thoroughly enjoyed our time there and are already planning a return trip!

The Eagle- Private Beach
Exactly as described with super responsive and very accommodating hosts! Would love to come back here during summer as it is super relaxing. You only need to walk a few steps to the beach!
