This is truly a unique property. This contemporary house has over 300 feet of direct waterfront. It sits on the point of a small private community called Lord's Point. Stunning views of Fisher's Island Sound from every room. It has many large sliding glass windows that look out onto a very private lot. The ocean is your neighbor. Listening to the distant foghorns and bells in the sound and watching sailboat races is a relaxing way to spend a day.
If boating is your pleasure, there is a boat ramp on the northern border of the property for 25 foot boats at high tide. Smaller boats, kayaks, and canoes can be put in from a small beach on the property. Fishing is wonderful and the water is clean.
Wildlife and bird watching is excellent. Numerous birds visit the rocks at low tide. Each season has unique charms and different visitors,south facing deck is wonderful on winter days too. In March and April seals frequently rest on the rocks.
Lord's Point community is made up of approximately 115 homes, many of which are seasonal. There is a newsletter and a community center with a play ground, tennis and basketball courts and various community activities and gatherings.

Spend a weekend in May earlier this year at what has to be one of the best homes for rent in New England. The house is kept in immaculate condition and the views of Fisher Island and the Block Island Sound are incredible night and day. I plan on inquiring for a longer stay if available next year.

Perfect setting any time of the year. Home was spacious, welcoming, clean, and simply delightful. Would highly recommend this property. Owner was quick to respond and readily answered all questions. The views are even more amazing than photos portray. Would return to this property without hesitation.

The photos make the house and location look great, but they don't do it justice. The owners are very helpful and friendly too. I just left and I already would love to go back.
Owner response:Also a great place for a company's working retreat.

We stayed here for a week last year and loved the house and area. There are so many things to do, we had to come back again to see what we had missed the first trip! Though our visit was shortly after Hurricane Irene blew through Lord's Point, the property was in great condition and the owner kept us well informed of the issues regarding cleanup and repair.

Our family has been coming to Lord's Point for over 45 years. We usually rent near the beach where we had a short walk to the sand. We recently attended a family reunion and our family of 15, including a 3 month old baby, rented this exceptional house. Each son and wife had a bedroom and the six children, ages 5 to 10, stayed in the bedroom with four twin beds. We added an air mattress for the extra two and everyone had some privacy. The adults enjoyed the morning sun from the deck while sipping our coffee or tea. The children lived down on the rocks collecting shells, exploring and crabbing. They played soccer, tossed balls and turned cartwheels all over the lawn. Our entire family (68 of us) gathered here for a group photo. Some days we did not make it to the beach as the children were happy to play inside or explore the rocks at low tide. Although we had lots of family activities to attend daily, we relished our time at the house where we played games, talked, caught up on our reading, shared cooking and clean-up duties and passed the baby around! After seeing this house in the neighborhood whenever we visited, we will never forget the glorious week we spent in it in August!
Owner response:It is always nice to have local families staying at the house. Glade it was a relaxing stay We love our time there and hardly ever leave the property when we are there. snorkeling is fun at high tide. Thanks for you comments!

We spent one week in this beautiful home. The views are breathtaking. The location is very convenient, being only minutes away from an A&P and the Mystic Seaport! The house itself is more than well-appointed and very comfortable. The owner even has a kayak available, which we used every day. I can't recommend this home highly enough. We hated to leave!!

We spent a week here in October and thoroughly enjoyed every minute! The location is gorgeous, the neighbors are friendly, the weather cooperated and the house was everything described. The owner has provided everything you might need, down to condiments in the refrigerator! The house is very spacious and had plenty of room for group gatherings and also for individuals to have some "private" time. There are many activities and attractions in the area and all are very convenient to the house. We're hoping to come back next year and see some more!

When I walked onto this property, it was even better than what I had pictured. The view is amazing. The sunrise and sunsets were indescribable. I must have taken 100 pictures just of the sunset. You are just a 5 minute drive from downtown Mystic and maybe 2 minutes from the grocery store. The inside of the house was clean and comfortable. If you are a light sleeper, the lighthouses (I assume they were the lighthouses) will keep you up. The sound a horn every couple of seconds, even through the night, but there are plenty of fans inside the bedrooms to block the noise. I would absolutely rent this house again. It is also great for kids to explore the water and walk on the rocks. There is also a huge outdoor fireplace that is great for campfires. Definately highly recommended!

This house far exceeded anything I could have imagined. Had a group of 10 and the house was the perfect size. The owner was very informative and helpful and the neighbors are very friendly. Beautiful view in a gorgeous neighborhood. A&P Grocery store is a mile down route 1 which is very convenient if you need something. Mystic is right down the road which gives several choices for food / entertainment. House was spotless when we arrived and was very easy to clean after our stay. Couldn't recommend this house enough to anyone, my review title says it all.

The pictures on the website cannot do justice to the setting and views offered at this house. Layout was perfect for large family gathering and house was everything the website/owner said it was. Great place with a stunning setting!
