Thanksgiving On The East Coast

Guest: Seattlites (Seattle area)
Date of Stay: 11/19/11 Review Submitted: 01/02/12

My wife and I decided to travel east for Thanksgiving to be with our son who attends college in Boston. This property suited our needs with it's many bedrooms, centrally located between Boston and New York, and reasonably priced. Our son had two friends join him and we enjoyed cooking, walking on the beach and just hanging out catching up on his school year. We took a day trip to New York on the train which was really easy from the Amtrak station in New London. This property is great for large groups, is easy to get to, in a nice neighborhood and close to the beach. Our only concern is a failure to return our security deposit and no response to our emails : (

Suzanne, I am not sure whether I have emailed you about the weekend we spent in your house or whether I have just thought about doing it – life is so fast-paced that I can’t keep up with myself. If I haven’t, let me thank you sincerely. The house was stocked with everything we needed to enjoy the family being together. I really think it was the perfect location for us and we appreciated it. It was comfortable and in a wonderful location for our travel back and forth to the Academy. We loved reading other people’s comments in the journal book. Hope to meet you at some point in the future – greetings from Texas.

Listing # 228405 - New London, CT Rental dates 7/16/11 to 7/23/11

Guest: San/Barb (Oakham, MA)
Date of Stay: 07/16/11 Review Submitted: 10/04/11

The New London property was located in a very nice neigborhood and only minutes from the beach. The home fit our needs, there were 6 adults and 2 little ones, plus a dog. The only concern we had was the amount of food items left in the refrig and draws from other renters. Upon our arrival there were small food ants in the bread draw and on the counter around the sink. We found the location to be great! Easy access to beach, Mystic area and many other sites and places to eat. We did utilize the grill and deck a great deal. My big concern after almost two months from our stay is not receiving our initial deposit back. From a business practice this is unacceptable. Hopefully it will be corrected???!!!

Owner response:We are happy you enjoyed the vacation home. Past renters have been thrilled to have many items that they needed already in the fridge and cabinets that saved them $ on items that didn't have to purchase ie condiments, wine, ice cream, etc. Surprised to hear about ants, especially after the home is cleaned within 3 hours of new guests arriving. As for security deposit, there was a mistake in the mailing and the check was returned. It was replaced as soon as we received it back. Thanks for the response and the comments.

Dear Suzanne, We were sorry that we didn't get to talk before we left New London yesterday. What a wonderful week we had. The house was perfect for our family and the weather was just what the doctor ordered. We had a great time - the beach is wonderful. We did our touristy things in the morning and were at the beach every afternoon. Then the kids had a ritual every evening after dinner. They all walked to the beach and walked to a lagoon where there were crabs. They had such fun and Al and I had some quiet time while they were gone. Al and I enjoyed our dinner at On The Waterfront that first night. Thanks for the suggestion. After that we ate all our meals oujt on the deck. The kids all had to leave Friday morning. We were going to stay ujntil Saturday, but the house seemed so empty after they left that we decided to leave also. A good time was held by all. The one disappointment was that we never found Daniel's Dairy. We did see an ice cream shop at 60 Banks St. when we were out walking but it wasn't open at that time. It was a pleasure meeting you.

Suzanne & Dan, We had a wonderful time staying for a week in your home. Being from California, now I have a idea of what "New England" spring living is like. Our stay in your home will be a trip that will become part of our "family" history as grandma, brothers, sisters and others got together here. Thank you again...

Dan & Suzanne, Thank you for your hospitality. The house was beautiful. Due to a change in my husband's assignment, we've been living apart for the last several months. It was a blessing to be a complete family for the week! We hope to come back for a stay soon!
