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.

5 out of 5 average rating, 27 reviewsBird's Eye View Waterfront Unit
Very nice place and home for three people. Enjoyed every piece including the free beach parking pass which we fully utilized. Also took advantage of the $10 coupon for old joe's coffee. Absolutely no flaws. The only thing that was a bit tough for us were the spiral stairs and the additional stairs after you enter which in case you have a toddler and/or a wife who is expecting, must be careful to not trip (quite narrow). Also having a bulky bag makes it a bit challenging as well due to this setting. Not a huge problem but worth mentioning. Still 5 stars!

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!!

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. Sitting in the back yard was a great way to unwind after fun filled action packed days. My little girl left her beloved teddy bear behind, fran found it, reached out and teddy is on his way home!! Thank you thank you.

5 out of 5 average rating, 95 reviewsWaterfront Retreat on the Mystic River
Ann’s place is a must stay! We spent a relaxing weekend in this gorgeous home, overlooking an idyllic Mystic River. So conveniently located to more restaurants and shops than you could ever visit, and yet a world away set among the trees. This house is perfect for our family of three and we could have easily accommodated 2 more adults! The space is tranquil and spacious, and Ann provided some goodies (even for our son!) upon our arrival. The house is stocked with anything you could possibly need or want, inclusive of outdoor amenities. My husband and I are already looking to rebook…truly cannot recommend this stay enough!

Victor’s place was relaxing and beautiful. We had the best time and especially loved listening to the waves. Victor was so responsive and even offered us an earlier check in and check out. The place was sparkling clean and absolutely beautiful. We will definitely be back

Our group has stayed at Patti's place twice a year for a number of years now. She has always been gracious & helpful, with a nice note and home baked cookies greeting our arrival! The location is quiet and peaceful, right on the beach, which is conducive to our desire for rest and reflection.

We loved our stay! The house was beautifully decorated and their furniture was all so comfortable. We loved how many outdoor seating options there were and being next to the fireplace in the living room was our favorite spot! The place was also so clean and had all the amenities that we needed for a successful weekend. Jeanmarie was very responsive whenever we had questions. This place was so cozy and perfect for a quick getaway with a friend. We would absolutely stay here again!

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.

4.89 out of 5 average rating, 36 reviewsWaterfront Lake House
Ryan's place worked perfectly for our group, was in a amazing location, had beautiful surroundings. He was also super responsive. Notably, he replied very quickly to a bunch of questions we had ahead of time and brought over a few things we noticed we could use (more washcloths and body wash) practically as soon as I hit send on my note. Also, I noticed that the pictures make it look like you're tight to the neighbors - which I guess is true - but once we were in the house, it felt quiet and private, not at all crowded with neighbors or noise. Lastly, if you (potential guest) have anyone in a wheelchair: (1) we were able to roll in and out with just a very short step on the walkway and another into the house (2) we skipped showers (require step/standing as you can see in pics) buuut (3) my friend's collapsible "Jazzy" wheelchair fit fine into the bathroom off the kitchen ,where we attached our own "higher" toilet seat for safety and convenience. Worked out fine!! Great stay!

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.

Very nice stay. Appreciated the bedside chargers. Kitchen was smartly stocked, was able to prepare a Thanksgiving meal with amenities provided. Very clean. Stunning views of the ocean. Downside, small bathroom/shower, limited bathroom shelf space/counter.
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!
