Mystical Ocean View in Historic Stonington Borough
Sam's place exceeded our expectations! The view was marvelous, and the house was beautifully decorated with a wonderful collection of books we truly enjoyed. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, and the room was super clean. We had a great time during our two-day stay. The small town offered so much to explore, and the nearby seafood market was a delightful surprise. we had fresh lobster at a very reasonable price. We highly recommend Sam's place for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway!

Lakefront Luxury on Pattagansett
Staying at Kevin’s place was such a reset from Manhattan. It was cozy, comfortable and very breathtaking. Kevin has great response time and is willing to assist you while you stay. Will definitely be back soon!

Harbor view apartment
Jay's place was perfect for our little getaway. It was clean, comfortable bed and furniture and the location was excellent. We were able to walk to everything.

Newport Studio close to Downtown and Waterfront.
We had a great MDW at Paul’s apartment. It was in a perfect location — walkable to Thames St. but also in a quiet area near King Park with beautiful water views and a great playground for our little one. Ideal location to start 10 mile drive and easy access to the Breakers and other mansions. The apartment is clean and neat and the fireplace was cozy for cooler temperatures at night. Of note, there are only sheer curtains on the windows and apartment gets very bright when the sun rises early. Paul has sleep masks in the closet and you may very well need them if you don’t want to wake up at sunrise!

Jennifer’s Historic Brick Riverfront Loft
The place is very nice, I would of booked it for a few more days if it hadn’t been for the schedule.

Downtown Waterfront Retreat with Historic Charm
Spacious, clean, and lovely apartment in great location in a beautiful town. Hosts were responsive, shower was great, and beds were comfortable, although light sleepers should know that the bedrooms are right up against the street. Loved the bike path and a lot of walk-to restaurants including SS Dion, Quito's, and Beehive Cafe.

Walk to the Heart of It All
Brandon was a wonderful host and his place was great! He frequently checked in throughout the weekend to make sure everything was okay. The treats and wine on the counter were such a nice touch. Thank you for a great stay, we will definitely be back!

Rare find beautiful studio on the Mystic River
From our first interaction up until check out, Lisa was super responsive and very helpful to us. Everything was clean and things were exactly where she said they would be. The area is gorgeous and it truly is a 4-5 minute drive from Downtown Mystic. A cozy location hidden away from the main road, I would suggest this location to anyone fortunate enough to visit Mystic.

Large estate with pond near beaches
This was a fabulous destination! We were looking for a big place to have a special anniversary party weekend with extended family, and this house had everything we needed. Plenty of bedrooms upstairs and first floor, many common gathering areas, large kitchen and dining room tables, and lots of Space. (And this doesn't even include the explorable property outside.) The dozens of photos in the listing were very helpful, as well as the detailed descriptions. We had specific needs for elderly relatives with disabilities, and owner Lynne was so responsive in her replies to my many messages with varied questions. Truly, Lynne, you deserve a gold star from Airbnb for promptness and offering up ways and help that made our stay both easier and fulfilling.

Cozy cottage 5 minutes from UConn
Wonderful and peaceful stay for a relaxing girls weekend. Outstanding clean and comes with everything you may need. The space is kid friendly, and extremely beautiful. Would definitely stay again.

True Ocean Front Vacationing - Groton/Mystic
The house was very clean, with a beautiful, large, well stocked kitchen. The view was lovely and it was wonderful hanging out on the deck. The beds were very comfortable. The house would be a little more practical if one of the bedrooms had two beds, so more people could sleep in the actual bedrooms. The pull out beds were not as comfortable and the bed in the loft is only accessible with a ladder. However, for a small group or people who aren’t picky about their sleeping arrangements it is a fantastic place to stay. You can’t beat the view and proximity to the water!

Perfect Waterfront Getaway with Semi-Private Beach
Very nice location and beautiful view of the ocean. The house was incredible and I would go back again.

Unobstructed Water Views & Huge Patio with Hot Tub
Joan and Chris' property was lovely. The pictures in the listing do not do this property justice. The view was gorgeous, beautiful and relaxing back yard and the sun room was gorgeous. The area was great, lots of things to do nearby. I would definitely stay here again, we very much enjoyed our visit.

Oceanfront overlooking Newport Cliff Walk
Kathleen’s home is quaint, comfortable and offered outstanding views. Kathleen was friendly, very responsive and excited about her family home and the area. We highly recommend her home. Tom and Barbara

Private beach; firepit, outdoor shower, 2 kitchens
This rental looked exactly like the pictures. The wine and bags of ice were very nice touches. The only thing that could have been better were some extra linens/towels. We stayed for 2 nights but we used this as a bridal suite while getting ready and ran out of towels quickly. Thankfully there was a washer and dryer for towels. It looks like they are slowly doing some updates so I’m sure it will look even more amazing when we come back. Can’t wait! Loved your home away from home.

Modern Oasis with Water Views
This place really was a zen oasis, as described. It was peaceful, quiet and clean. The waterfront views were amazing. The space is clean and cozy and exactly as advertised. The porch overlooking the water was such a a relaxing place to chill out. Medhi was an amazing host even offering us complimentary early check in and late check out. I can't say enough great things about this stay and we will be back soon.

Boutique Hotel Special pricing available
We absolutely love traveling to Newport — it’s our favorite destination for a quick, last-minute getaway, and every time we visit, it feels like a breath of fresh air. This charming coastal town never disappoints, and staying at Pelham Court made our recent trip even more unforgettable! From the moment we arrived, Pelham Court felt like a dream. The location is unbeatable — nestled in the heart of downtown Newport, we were steps away from the waterfront, great restaurants, and boutique shops, yet it still felt like a quiet retreat. The building itself is picture perfect, with a timeless New England charm that instantly puts you in vacation mode. The accommodations were spacious, beautifully decorated, and comfortable. It’s such a peaceful nestled off the main strip and perfect for my morning runs!

Endeavour's Quarters in heart of historic Newport
I can't say enough about the amazing experience I had staying at Barton's and Suzanne's place. First, Barron responds quickly and goes above and beyond to assure your stay is pleasant, easy and that you're well informed on local sweet spots and activities. He was a pleasure to talk to, as always. When you arrive, you'll first smile at the curated way it is beautifully furnished with every comfort in mind. But, then you'll start to notice the special touches left to make you feel well taken care of. There was a basket of snacks, and water and soda in the refrigerator with a kind note saying to please help your self. Such a special appreciated touch to the make you feel welcome. The location is a few doors down from the Thames St. and easily walkable to Bowen's Wharf and many attractions. I had a wonderful t experience at Barton's place and plan to have the be my only choice for Newport. Enjoy, Kathy

Hidden Newport gem! Waterfront, close to town!
This Airbnb in Newport is the best I could've hoped for; the views are amazing! I'd totally stay here again in a heartbeat if I ever visit RI.

Montauk Waterfront Condo w/ Sunset Views
we had s great time staying at the apartment! it was way more spacious than we thought from the pictures, the balcony was amazing, you‘ll have sun through the whole day. Doug was a phenomenal host! We got their by LIRR and back with the hampton jitney. We rented two bikes in Montauk and it was amazing exploring the area by bike. Cannot recommend this area and the airbnb enough!

Cozy Vacation Villa 5 minutes from Mohegan
The stay was very peaceful, friendly neighbors. The scenery was great, Desiree was there for any concerns we had, and with timely response. I would anyone that want a pleasurable stay while in Norwich, this is the place to be. Thanks again, for a wonderful stay. William & Potreen

Seaside Summer Escape –2BR Waterfront Condo w/Pool
We had a great time at Julie’s place. Would love to visit again…perhaps in the Fall. Loved the balcony overlooking the Sound. Julie was very responsive to my questions. She got back to me immediately. I would highly recommend Julie’s home!

Beachside Waterview 2Br Condo w/ Pool in Greenport
We had a great stay! Instructions were clear and the home had everything we needed.

King Bed - hot tub - saunas - 1 mile Mohegan Sun
We stayed at Taylor's place because of the proximity to Mohegan Sun! What we got was an adorable space in a beautiful neighborhood that was super close to the concert venue! It truly is a nice neighborhood! It was peaceful with beautiful water views and fountains! Everything in the house was nice and clean! It was awesome that there were little snacks and water! Such a nice touch! It was super easy to get into the villa, easy to lock and just a great spot! Keyless..perfect! Thank you, Taylor! We will return if you'll have us again!
