The house was absolutely beautiful. The location was fantastic on a cul-de-sac with beautiful views over salt, marshes and distant water. Zero complaints the host was easy to communicate with and very kind.
We had a great stay! The house is an easy walk into town and has great water views from the second floor deck. The house was very well equipped and comfortable. It is right near the train, which was remarkably very quiet as it went by. The description is accurate-the road floods near the house (it was rainy when we were there). It was so nice to find a place that allowed us to bring our dog. Stonington is a great town and we look forward to visiting again!
My family and I had a terrific stay at this property. It is situated in a cul-de-sac and was very quiet. The views from the deck were amazing. Location was perfect. We had no problems with the Wi-Fi access, and the air-conditioning worked very well (during our time there, it was pretty hot and humid, so that was important!). The kitchen facilities were more than adequate, and the house has plenty of space. We would definitely stay here again!
We like to book locations where my wife and I, plus our adult children and their spouses can relax, walk around and also easily access nearby restaurants and attractions. This location in Stonington offered all that, plus a clean, inviting house with good views and a great deck to enjoy them from. Close to marinas. restaurants, the Mystic Aquarium, shopping, farmer's markets, etc. Plenty of interior room for the 6 of us, plus clean, comfortable bedrooms and baths. Well stocked house and property managers who made us feel welcome.
Very nice, clean house that is a short walk to the town of Stonington Ct. It was great to walk around town that has a many great restaurants and then relax on the deck of the house with a very nice water view.
We had another great stay at Kuppa’s, our third. His house is well located for walks to town and with beautiful views from the upper deck. We especially enjoyed the large, main floor deck where we spent many hours relaxing. The house is very comfortable and well equipped.
We just returned from a last minute weekend trip to Stonington. We had a great visit. House is as advertised and exceeded our expectations. The view from the deck is so nice. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. Great location to walk into town. Communication is great, although we had no concerns or need to reach out. We will stay again.
We loved our stay in Stonington. It is such a cute Connecticut costal town with plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance. The beach is small and quaint but there are obviously tons of beaches within a 15 min drive if you are seeking more excitement. We loved sitting out on the porches bird watching and taking in the sunset. Thank you again!
What a great place to stay for a weekend trip to Stonington Borough. My friends and I rented the house for a golf weekend and had a great time. Kuppu was incredibly communicative and promptly replied to any and all of my questions. The views from the property are great and you’re within walking distance of everything the Borough has to offer — a 10/10 experience.
This was our second stay here. We really appreciated the improvements made! New slipcovers, new professionally made window treatments, new paint and new Mitsubishi AC/heat units throughout the house. Really love the big, comfortable deck where we spent most of our time and also being able to easily walk into town. Thanks to Kuppu for sharing his home with us!
Kappu’s home was absolutely perfect! Large, spacious, spotless! It was so easy to communicate with the owners and they are so friendly. I stayed with myself and my bridesmaids the day before my wedding and the house fit everyone comfortably. Nice and cold AC downstairs! Such a warm welcome. The desk was a beautiful spot to hang out on.
Amazing. The hosts were incredibly accommodating and thoughtful. Every detail was attended to, including things we had not even planned for: baby-proofing supplies, pet necessities, health needs. Absolutely wonderful. Very easy to communicate with and responded promptly to all messages. Everything was exactly as pictured and described. Spacious and comfortable. We had an amazing, relaxing weekend and felt very safe and secure. I cannot recommend this property enough. Thank you so much!

Loved the location: could walk to downtown Stonington and the beach easily. The walk was wonderful too, passing each unique home after home, in lovely neighborhoods. When first arriving, we discovered a major leak in the sink. With approval of host, we contacted local plumber who was planning to make emergency visit. While waiting, we took a crack at fixing it ourselves & voila, we did it. The host was so pleased, he extended our stay by 2 days with no cost!
Favorite part of home was huge family room occupying most of the floor adjacent to perfect kitchen. Attached was wide deck overlooking tidal pool flora with many birds.
