  • If you love the sea/water, you will love this house. The location is accurately described as 'spectacular'. We were here over Halloween and despite less than perfect weather we found the location to be as beautiful as we had hoped. There is plenty of room to spread out and fabulous views of the water from every room in the house. Mornings brought shades of pink and magenta across the water to the East and evenings provided brilliant red sunsets over the waters to the West. We just never tired of watching fishing boats, sailboats, and a wide varitey of waterfowl move across the picture windows along the front and side of the house. We would recommend this vacation rental and we hope to return again sometime in the future.

  • This had to be one of the finest properties/location in the Northeast. We stayed here with our 4 children and parents and every single one of us agreed this house was one of the best. The owner is thorough, compassionate, and helpful. We would come back as soon as possible!!

  • Gorgeous property. From coffee on the deck in the morning to cocktails on the dock at sunset...couldn't ask for better location. Nice accomodations with pretty much everything you need, plenty of room for a family get together. Great fun kayaking right from the property. Easy access to beach and shopping(Mystic,Watch Hill and Misquamacut). Fire pit on the rocks is a nice touch...campfire with s'mores by the water at night. We had an excellent week!!! We hope to be able to return someday.

  • A wonderful house in a perfect setting! We spent an idyllic week here at the end of April and 12 Skipper St became the unofficial 'headquarters' for our wedding party. A more perfect venue for the happy gatherings of friends and family would be hard to imagine. We and all our visitors fell in love with this wonderful holiday home and enjoyed absolutely everything about it -- the accommodation, the lay-out, the views, the surrounding space, the jetty, the rocks and sea, the birds, the bikes, the friendly neighbours, the visitng cat, even the skunk -- I could go on and on. Absolute heaven!!

  • Our family enjoyed a long Thanksgiving weekend at this beautiful home in its awesome setting. The amazing views of Fishers Island and the Sound include wildlife, boats, and (of course) colorful sunrises and sunsets. It's the perfect place for a reunion and we hope to return sometime soon.

  • The views were spectacular and the house very comfortable. We loved watching the resident gulls, cormorants, geese and ducks and the daily visits from the egrets and oystercatchers. Sunsets from the deck were wonderful! We hated to leave this lovely place!

  • 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.

  • Our family spent 2 weeks in this jewel. We loved every single second of it, and frankly, I hesitated posting these comments because I don't want everyone else to use up all future weeks!!
