Fantastic property and location

Family trip with our daughter and son-in-law and his parents. We loved the house, outbuilding, decks, outside shaded dining area and waterfront. Better than expected! Paul was so responsive and welcoming! Excellent kayaking in the quiet cove and out to Sandy Point.

Cute place

Terrific place and great location! The host has thought of everything for a comfortable stay. I would definitely recommend this rental. Just something to be aware of, while cottage has the capacity to sleep 10 at 10, it's a snug fit.

Great Getaway

Three couples gathered for a little getaway. The house is small but very comfortable with a great patio for relaxing and another lovely fire pit area by the water. Beds were super comfy, and all the linens and towels (including beach towels) were of excellent quality. We enjoyed dropping in paddle boards and exploring the beauty right out the front door:)

Fantastic & Charming

This property was absolutely lovely! We stayed off season and enjoyed the deck, fire pit, and dock. Beds are super comfortable, house was clean and kitchen was well stocked with everything we’d need for a seafood feast. Paul was responsive, friendly and helpful in every way.

Beautiful family cottage

Lovely summer cottage on a quiet cove, the perfect spot for fishing, kayaking, or watching others do so with a drink in your hand. Great yard for kids to play, special game room in its own outbuilding, Adirondack chairs and a fire pit at the water. The beds were comfy, and the house was cozy. Loved it.

Nice location

The property was as described. The added game room was a pleasant surprise. Although the house is old it was very clean and well taken care of. I wish we had more time so we could have rented a boat to spend time on the water. I would definitely rent again.

Great house for a family gathering. Lots of different outdoorr spaces to hang out -- alone, in pairs, or all together. Kitchen has everything you could possibly need to cook and prepare even the most elaborate meals. Games galore. And a wonderfully helpful and communicative owner.

Charm and Convenience

My family had a wonderful time staying in this charming house over the winter holiday break. Small in square footage but felt very spacious for our group of 4. Paul was very welcoming and quick to resolve an unexpected issue with internet access. Convenient to Stonington Boro, Mystic, and Westerly. Highly recommended!

Relaxation getaway

We stayed in this area a few years ago on a property also available by Paul. We love the huge if the area and being on the water. We didn’t do too much but that was the whole intent of our getaway. Our dogs loved the property and trying to catch the bunny resident. They also loved the dock to check out the water activities. The house was comfortable and we didn’t want for anything.

Thank You for Such a Heartfelt Family Time Together!

This was our first Vrbo experience and it was even better than we had anticipated. It was in a lovely, quiet neighborhood with quick access to so many sites in the area, including Mystic Seaport. The house was well appointed with excellent cookware and endless hot water. We enjoyed our time around the dinner table and the picnic table on the back porch. The host was always attentive to our questions. To quote my 90-year-old father-in-law, "I've had many great experiences in my life, but this was the best." Many thanks to everyone involved.

Enjoyed our stay

We enjoyed our stay at the house but we thought the house was overpriced, but perhaps, due to the location on the water, the rental price was competitive for the area. The yard and waterfront is lovely, particularly the seating area and chiminea by the water. The decks are nice too, as is the annex with the ping pong and football. For the price, the bathrooms, particularly the downstairs one, need improvement in terms of how they look and cleanliness of the shower, particularly the tile grout. Good location but there is road noise as it is right on a highway.

Fabulous Host

It was a great place for family to come together from CT, MO, NY and Canada. It was a little more rustic than anticipated. But clean, organized and well stocked with basics. A very friendly host. A valuable item was left behind and Paul drove all the way back from a family event so it could be retrieved before flying out the next day. Above and beyond. Thank you.
