Nice house near the water

This house is great - very spacious, lovely furnishings, and all the things you could need. The weather was not so great during our visit, but it was still lovely to see the ocean out the window (we even saw a beautiful sunrise one morning) and the beach was nearby. The house is close to Mystic and other seaside towns which made it a good base to explore the area from.

Fantastic Stay

Three generations stayed in this beach house and everyone loved it. Very well stocked from the beach chairs outside to the claw crackers in the kitchen. Don’t forget to read the very personalized ideas of things to do or check out the books and town history on the walls. My kids really appreciated the ocean themed children’s books and kid friendly musical instruments. Great location and clear instructions. We’ll be back next year!

Beautifully set home with anything you need. We stayed with three of our adult children, son-in-law, and three grandkids. Good memories to cherish. The home has everything you need; we enjoyed quiet moments on the upper deck, puzzle making on the front porch (and even finished it!), quick walks to the beach(es), fireworks on Friday night. We even took the lighthouse ferry tour. This home is located close to anything you would want to experience in New London. Five Stars.

Annual Girls Getaway

We're a group of high school friends who have been getting together annually for many years. We've had some great houses over the years, and this qualifies up there with the best of them. Even though it's a little smaller than the houses we've booked in the past the location was great, and the house was incredibly well stocked. We loved it so much we're looking to book again for next year if we can make the dates work with the property availability.

Comfy, chill beach vacation

House is as advertised with more than enough room for our group of 6. Nicely decorated in a relaxed, beachy vibe with plenty of amenities and supplies. Access to the private beach with chairs, umbrellas and towels was a real bonus. Also a short walk to Ocean Beach Park and boardwalk. Would have been better for us if house were closer to more nice playgrounds and rainy day indoor activities for young kids.
