Mystical Ocean View in Historic Stonington Borough

YuwenRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
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!

SarahRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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!

Rare find beautiful studio on the Mystic River

GinnyRating, 5 stars2 days ago
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

JuliaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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!!

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!

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.

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!!

Waterfront Secluded Home with Dock

SusanRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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

DianaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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!
