Wickford Waterfront 12 min to Newport & 15 min URI
Elaine has a lovely apartment. Very pristine and quiet with amazing views. Our stay was extremely comfortable. Her instructions were perfect and we had no problem with whatsoever anything. If you’re ever there do not miss the morning sunrise. Outstanding. Thank you Elaine & Rich for a lovely stay. We hope to come back some day.

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!

Mystic River Getaway - Walk To Downtown & Seaport!
We just came home from our long weekend in Mystic and Anthony’s place was a great find. We comfortably fit myself, my husband, and my 2 year old with ample space. The house was walking to distance to many amenities including downtown Mystic which we enjoyed. I would highly recommend Anthony’s place to anyone else traveling to Mystic!

Jennifer’s Historic Downtown Loft
I had a great stay at Jennifer’s place in PVD! The space was clean, stylish, and exactly as described. It was super easy to access and check-in was a breeze. The location was perfect—close to some really fun spots, great restaurants, and local attractions. Whether you’re visiting for a quick getaway or a longer stay, this place is a solid choice. I’d definitely stay here again!

On Jordan's Cove!
One of the best hosts we've stayed with. Very friendly and accommodating. My fiance and I loved this waterfront locations. it's so peaceful and serene. it's located at the end of a dead end road so it's super quiet too. Would very much like to return again

Lakeside apartment 2.5 miles from Wesleyan campus!
The apartment was beautiful and as soon as we walked in I could feel myself relax. The view is stunning and the apartment is warm and inviting. We reserved the apartment on very short notice and Mark was so helpful and responsive. Highly recommend!

Rare find beautiful studio on the Mystic River
Great space, lovely view, and nice amenities. Very close to everything. If you're a very light sleeper, the train may bother you since it starts at 6am - but we had a toddler, so he was fascinated. I would recommend it!

Lovely Waterfront Apartment in Gales Ferry CT
This might have been one of my favorite Airbnb's I've ever stayed in! It was the most adorable little apartment with a gorgeous view of the river and such clean and neat, but homey feel. I rarely feel so cozy away from home! Jeanne and Arch were exceptional hosts. Very warm and friendly, but still very respectful of my privacy during my stay. The house was set back off the road, so it was safe enough that I didn't even feel like I needed to lock my car at night. Jeanne was lovely enough to leave some exquisitely delicious fresh locally baked muffins and chocolate chip cookies for me in the apartment. An unexpected and lovely gesture! I would stay here again in a heartbeat! Thank you so much Jeanne and Arch for a stay that exceeded all my expectations!!

Coastal New England Waterfront Home-The Reed House
Perfect location and accommodations for extended family to stay for a college graduation weekend! Clean, spacious and well appointed. Nice views and enjoyed using the kayaks on the bay. Garon’s responsiveness and communication were excellent.

Amazing 2BR Riverfront Gem
Ned's cottage was clean, well appointed and very comfortable. It was exactly what my wife and I were looking for in the Clinton area for our short stay. The cottage is a short drive to grocery stores, coffee shops, downtown Clinton, great water view restaurants and a very good vineyard which also has terrific food! Thanks Ned!

Cozy cottage 5 minutes from UConn
Immaculate space. Location and views are incredible. Check in was easy, hosts were very communicative and you can tell they put a great deal of energy into their home. They also included fresh eggs from their farm. We were obsessed with it and will definitely rebook.

Kayaks ~ Bikes ~ Boards ~ 6mins> Greenport ~ 55"TV
We had a wonderful weekend stay at Eileen's beautiful waterfront home. The view from the living room and primary bedroom of the water was so peaceful. The kitchen was well appointed and the cozy living room made for a wonderful family gathering spot when we weren't dining out at the fabulous nearby restaurants, visiting wineries, or viewing local scenery. Eileen was incredibly responsive to small questions we had. We would definitely book again!!

The Perch
I have stayed at lots of places in the last few years . . . and this place ranks right at the top. It is beyond beautiful. The water views from the living room and both bedrooms made it hard to leave and come home. It's actually even more amazing than the pictures. Don't think twice! Book this place now!

Waterfront 4-bed/4 bath Oasis in Giants Neck Beach
the place was great, peaceful, the family enjoyed the decks, kayaks, the scenery

Waterfront Secluded Home with Dock
I hate to say too many great things since I kind of feel like I want to keep this a secret. This is our second time staying here. The location is awesome — spectacular views from any of the many windows in this contemporary style house. The beds are decent and there’s lots of beach stuff (chairs, towels, umbrella) plus kayaks w/life vests. Well equipped kitchen and good size dining room table. And did I mention the views?… of course I did, but it’s worth mentioning again! A great beach about a mile away. Dining choices are limited now because of the tragic fire at the Matunuck Oyster Bar a few nights before our arrival. Our host was kind enough to send us an email prior to our arrival to inform us of this sad event. We had reservations there for our first night at the house. Since we are pretty casual, the food at Captain Jack’s and Jim’s Dock is decent… but sure missed Matunuck Oyster Bar and our hearts go out to all the staff as the busy summer season was about to begin.

Riverfront Home with a View
This house is in the perfect location. Nearby to Downtown Mystic and all the attractions but also far enough for family privacy. My family enjoyed a birthday celebration and stayed Easter weekend. The house was spacious and comfortable and fully loaded with plenty of amenities. Our favorite part was the spectacular views of the sunset. Every night, we enjoyed looking at the boats in the water. The hosts were very responsive, and we would definitely recommend this house for families. We didn't even mind the nearby train because it added to the charm of the property. This truly was a gem and will be remembered as one of our best memories!

Beautiful condo on Long Islands Northfolk
We very much enjoyed our stay at the Cliffside for our wedding weekend! Alice was very flexible with us, which we appreciated because getting married is chaotic enough LOL.

Cozy Vacation Villa 5 minutes from Mohegan

We really enjoyed staying at Lynn’s place! Very clean and had a great view of the ocean from the deck. Lynn was very responsive and made the experience seamless. We would definitely stay with Lynn again.

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!

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!

Hatch at Soundview · Beach+OceanView+Sunrise
We had a pleasant time at Peter's place. He was a great host and was very responsive. It was just what we needed for some rest and relaxation on the beach after a week of hiking in the white mountains. Would definitely stay here again!
