Can’t say enough nice things about this property. Everything was beautiful and clean and attention was paid to every detail. We had to cut our stay short due to unforeseen circumstances, but we will definitely be back!

We stayed here while attending a family wedding and could not have been more pleased. The owners checked in with us after our arrival to be sure we had everything we needed. The Dollhouse is spotless and Nick and Nick have thought of every detail to make your stay comfortable. It exceeded our expectations and I highly recommend!
We had a wonderful stay at the Dollhouse. Nick was so accommodating. When we arrived, there was a nice note from Nick and some treats for us. The house was extremely clean and very comfortable. We absolutely loved it and will definitely be back!
This is the best you could ever stay at. The owner goes above and beyond for their guests and everything is just perfect. We stayed there twice so far and looking forward to many more because we have family we visit in the area. 5 stars isn’t enough. Definitely a place you want to stay at.
The Doll House is a beautiful home. Nick and Nick thought of everything, from snacks to dog toys. I was really impressed by how immaculate the house was. The neighborhood is a quiet dead end street, which was awesome. If you’re traveling to the Waterford area, you will love the Doll House.
I was working from home and the internet is very good, the house is nice and very clean, it exceeded expectations, quiet neighborhood, wonderful place and Nick a very kind person.
Thank you guys so much for choosing us and being awesome guest. We appreciate you guys leaving the house so clean. Please come back anytime!!

The Dollhouse is great . Owner Nick even greater. We 2 couples stayed 2 nights. You will not find a better equipped VRBO rental. Nor will you find a nicer host. Location is perfect and quiet. We plan to return next year at about the same time.
My family and I were in town for the weekend to visit Mystic Aquarium and Seaport and The Dollhouse was absolutely perfect for all of our needs! Nick was very thoughtful, provided anything you may accidentally in the travel prep frenzy, neighborhood was quiet, relaxing and spacious and are already planning our next trip back! We didn't want to leave! Absolutely recommend!
The pictures do not do justice to how beautiful this home is. I was blown away how clean and immaculate this place was. The owner was so quick to assist when needed. Often going above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. It was. Highly recommended.

We loved it! The house is so beautiful and very clean! We didn’t want to leave! Nick was awesome, he responded fast if we needed anything, very nice respectful guy! We are so thankful for allowing us to stay at your home! Thank you so much! We will definitely be coming back again!
We were immediately impressed by how spotlessly clean it was, and how many thoughtful touches the hosts provided. Beds and furniture were very comfy, the entire house is tastefully decorated in an eclectic fashion. Hosts are wonderful. Rent this one!!

Wow! What an amazing host. I think Nick spoiled us for all other hosts. He had snacks, beverages and even treats for my dog:-)! Nick texted us to ensure we had all we needed. Check in was so easy. Place is lovely, and clean. It is convenient to a number of activities and restaurants. We got to go to a very nice beach that was about 15 minutes away, and were able to enjoy Mystic, which was about 25ish minutes away.I traveled with my adult niece and two pets. Nick, and his hospitality, helped to make it a wonderful experience. Highly recommend.

My husband and I, along with our two dogs, stayed at the Dollhouse over the Christmas holiday. The hosts Nick and Nick made sure the house was immaculately clean and ready prior to our arrival. The fully stocked kitchen of utensils and appliances with was very helpful with our holiday cooking. The hosts truly made it dog friendly, to include providing a a variety of items ranging from extra leashes to dog beds for use during our stay. The hosts were very responsive and helpful during our stay, periodically checking in with us via text to ensure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay again for future visits to the area!
We stayed at the Dollhouse over the Thanksgiving holiday and had a wonderful few days for many reasons...
The house was exactly as it was presented online, but even better, as it was freshly updated throughout the house and felt practically new... including a fully stocked kitchen that we needed to help with the Thanksgiving festivities... Nick was an excellent host and was sweet on our dog Cody by providing treats, a dog bed, and a couch cover (less stress for us when we catch him on the couch that he shouldn't be on... lol )
With this location close to Mystic, we are already planning a return during the summer to see what the area has to offer. Very confident we'd have a great place to relax and enjoy with what the Dollhouse has to offer.
