Spacious 3 Bedroom Ranch With Office
Great peaceful place to enjoy.

House in NL near CGA, Sub Base, Mohegan Casino
Our family opted for a trip to New London to reconnect with our family for Thanksgiving. We were able to utilize the beautiful dining room for our dinner . We loved staying at Rosa’s place and were very comfortable . Just a note - there is only one bathroom and it is on the second floor ( as are all the bedrooms) We made this work but can be difficult with a larger family . It would definitely not deter me from booking again! This place was beautiful. The surrounding area and ease of access was comforting ! Would definitely stay here again .

Year Round Beach House in Old Saybrook, CT.- Pets
Laurie s place is very nice, spacious and clean. Plenty of space to eat, hang out and 2 bath. The fenced in yard is great for dogs or kids. We weren't in full summer season so we're not taking advantage of the beach and water options but they offer alot. Allowed for an early check in which was great as we were in town for a memorial service.

Home in New Britain
Comfortable, clean house with modern furnishings and comfy beds & linens. Was a great place for our family to gather & kitchen was beautiful & nicely equipped!!

Southport Shoreline Charm: Elegant Coastal Escape
Our stay was absolutely wonderful from start to finish! The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home.

Mill worker's home
Great place to stay!

Entire home in Bristol
Had a great stay last weekend. Thanh was very helpful and responsive. House was very clean and comfortable!

Newly built twin beach house within steps to beach
We stayed here for a wedding at The Burr Mansion, which was extremely close to the house! The house was clean and updated. A few spots to walk to including a local bar. Just a walk to the beach. Bedrooms are all spacious and were very clean. Would definitely stay again.

Charming Guest Cottage with Modern Amenities
John’s place was the perfect respite for our multi-day stay! The clean and cozy space is perfectly situated close to trails and parks for our Australian shepherd, but only a short drive to all the shopping you’d need (e. g. ShopRite for groceries and necessities). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and know you will too!

Pet Friendly Relaxing Retreat
Really loved this airbnb! Would stay again! I love the lay out gives everyone a ton of space and was super clean. Easy 15 minute drive to most places we visited in New Haven. The only things that weren’t an issue for us but to keep in mind was the one bathroom for large groups, that can be challenging. Also, the ceilings are on the lower end for anyone over 6ft, my boyfriend had to watch his head at the doorways. Under 6 you are all good though. Lastly, one of the bedrooms has a bedroom behind it. This was not an issue at all for his but just to note. We did love that the entrance way has doors that you can close, so we actually used that as a sleeping space to have everyone more separated. We were a group of 7 and had a ton of room. All bedrooms are a pretty good size as well.

Cozy Cape Escape - Walk to Downtown Mystic
A nice, quaint house to serve as your rest and recover point for the rest of your vacation. The house was perfect for our group of seven as we spent the days exploring Mystic and going to the beach. Tyler and Hope keep the home well-stocked with everything you could need for your stay, from the kitchen to the linen closet to the bathroom, there was nothing lacking. Our dogs love the fenced in yard and the backyard and deck were a great space to sit outside or use the grill or fire pit. Tyler and Hope were very attentive in preparing us with directions and notes, as well as a video and a binder with suggestions while we were there. I would definitely look to this location again on our next trip to Mystic.

Affordable In-Law Apartment in Brooklyn, CT
I fell in love with this apartment, the living room, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom were excellent, very cozy and endless amenities, the only complaint I have is the ceiling of the room but it is understandable and is not a big deal and they did not tell us where to put the garbage so we had to leave it in front of the door in the garage but other than that a very good experience in this beautiful place, I recommend it!

Mystic, CT Pet-Friendly Cottage with Hiking Trails
The cottage was beautiful and the hospitality was just perfect. Will stay again and highly recommend. Our dogs loved the fenced in yard and trails.

Perfect New England Getaway has a pool/ hot tub
Absolutely beautiful home with every amenity and comfort. You can tell how much love and care went into this place- every piece of furniture and detail is the highest quality. It’s even more spacious and beautiful than it looks in the photos. It was perfect for our group with young kids and it was great they provided a pack and play so we didn’t have to pack one. The hosts were easy to communicate with and flexible. They even let us check out late on our final day. We opted to enjoy the beautiful yard and home longer rather than venture out because we were so comfortable. We cannot wait to come back in the summer as the pool and yard set up is incredible. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Cozy Getaway | Pet Friendly | Litchfield Cty
Kelsey’s cottage was exactly as described. It was so beautifully decorated & had everything that we would need. We had a wonderfully relaxing weekend & hope to do it again soon.

#MilfordOceanView - Beachfront, Dog Friendly
Thank you for a wonderful stay and accommodating an extra night.
Vacation rentals with pools in Connecticut

Luxury cottage by the sea with hot tub and pool
Wonderful for a peaceful weekend away. The views were beautiful, the space was clean (with amazing climate control), and the hot tub area was very user friendly. I would definitely stay again! Highly recommend the short walk to Chaffinch Island Park to check out the tide pools.

CASiNO, Spa, Hot Tub, Pool, Private Villa, Kingbed
Kim’s place was perfect for what me and my daughter needed. We were in the area celebrating her 15th birthday. The villa was clean, and quaint. The decor of the room was peaceful and warm. And most importantly it was CLEAN, no complaints! Kim was responsive and proactive in her communication. Will definitely visit again in the future and recommend to any friends and family who might travel that direction.

Garden Level Suite with Beautiful Pool
We had an amazing time at Marybeth’s suite—it truly felt like a winter wonderland. Our kids had a blast "swimming" in the snow and "rolling" over the gentle hills. Every moment was filled with joy, whether we were relaxing in the sunroom, playing in the snow, or swinging outside. The time spent together as a family, along with our conversations with Marybeth and her family, was truly precious. We can’t wait to return in the summer!

Peaceful Oasis steps from Mohegan Sun
We really enjoyed our stay. The villa was well decorated, clean, and cozy. It had such a relaxing vibe, I wish we had more time there. It was close to the casino and walking distance to the spa. It was great qetaway. The host also went out of the way to add personal touches.

Hot Tub~Pool~Game Room~Fire Pit~BBQ~Casinos
Great place to stay! Felt like I was right at home, Andrew is great and very responsive, would highly recommend to anyone staying in the area

Two floor Norwich Spa Villa near Mohegan Sun
My husband and I stayed at Nicole's place with another couple for two nights. Nicole left us a thoughtful welcome sign and treats upon check in, which we appreciated. The place is in a very well maintained condo complex with multiple pools and beautiful grounds. The condo itself was clean, comfortable, and had everything a hotel might have (hair dryers, shampoo, soap, etc.) and more. We loved the little balcony that overlooked a pond with a fountain, ducks, and songbirds. Location-wise, it's perfect! Less than a 10-minute drive to Mohegan Sun, and lots of places to eat nearby. We had a great brunch at Herb's, a local landmark diner. We would definitely choose Nicole's place if we return to the Norwich area!

Casino Stay & Play House
Place was nice and comfy and he was very responsive.

Quiet 2 bed room apt w/ private entrance.
The location was great and a nice place to walk. Lots of stuff to see and do that’s not far away. We would come again.
Your guide to Connecticut
Welcome to Connecticut
Connecticut is more than just New York’s quiet, pastoral neighbor. This small but mighty New England state packs in dozens of quaint towns, flashy promenades, and a heavy dose of pre-Revolutionary War history. Along its southern border, Connecticut is framed by the Long Island Sound, offering pristine sand dunes favored by sunbathers and beachcombers. The southwest pocket of the state is an easy portal to New York City and a convenient base for big-city shopping and dining. The state capital, New Haven, is a brainiac’s dream, home to Yale University, world-class art galleries, museums, and entertainment venues.
Small towns sprinkled throughout the state like Mystic, Wethersfield, and Bristol give travelers a peek into Connecticut's pioneering heritage. More than half of the state is covered by woodland, making it a natural paradise for outdoor activities. Whether you’re exploring the maple- and birch-filled forests of the Eastern Uplands, with their stellar hiking and mountain biking trails, or the rugged Taconic Mountain Range — home to Connecticut’s highest peak, Mount Frissell, and the state’s ski resorts — there’s no shortage of fun to be had in the Constitution State.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Connecticut
In autumn, the clear skies and brilliant foliage attract onlookers to Connecticut, making it one of the most popular times of year to visit. It’s not just the leaves that will catch your attention. Picking apples from the U-pick orchards, plucking oversized pumpkins from their patches, and getting lost in a corn maze are also popular autumn activities. Spring is great for hiking and biking through the blossoming daffodils and dogwood trees — take note of the many blossom festivals that spring up across the state. Summer means packed beaches and parks along the shoreline, but don’t overlook the many great rural campsites. Just know that the weather will be hot and humid. January is often the coldest month, when the state becomes a haven for skiing and tubing.
Top things to do in Connecticut
Mystic Seaport Museum
Connecticut might be a small state, but it has the largest maritime museum in the country. The Mystic Seaport Museum, in Mystic, is a recreated 19th-century seafaring village celebrating the lives and livelihoods of sailors. Exhibitions range from the craft of woodcarving to popular navigation techniques of the 1800s. Historic boats are available to ride with a captain, and some to pilot yourself, bringing the full experience together.
Gillette Castle State Park
Perched high above the Connecticut River in the city of East Haddam, Gillette Castle State Park offers mesmerizing geologic formations, hiking trails, and a Medieval-style castle. Smooth shale formations and jagged quartz and metamorphic outcroppings might be the first thing to catch your eye upon entering, but the storied stone-and-oak castle, designed by a famed actor and playwright, will warrant a closer look.
Elizabeth Park Rose Garden
Rose-studded archways, perennial-lined paths, and ivy-enshrouded gazebos wind through 100 acres in this formal garden in Hartford. A large hand-dug pond with a stone bridge is a picturesque setting for soaking it all in. The garden’s cafe serves gourmet hot dogs, ice cream, and other snacks during the summer season.
