New Bright Oceanfront Affordable Beach Studio!
This place was fantastic! Loved the proximity to the beach, George’s, Block Island ferry and more!! Such a hidden gem and will definitely be back! Karen and Peter were excellent hosts and always responsive if we had any questions. The apartment was so cutely decorated too!

Mystical Ocean View in Historic Stonington Borough
This is the third time we have stayed here. Love the apartment and the location. Had a peaceful stay.

Mystic River Getaway - Walk To Downtown & Seaport!
We thoroughly enjoyed our week at this charming home. The location truly is perfect - we walked over to the Seaport one day and took many walks into the downtown area for shopping, meals at amazingly good restaurants, ice cream, and bake shops. Anthony and Kelly were wonderful hosts - the home was just as described and their communication was clear and friendly- just what you want from hosts. We couldn't have asked for more and would be happy to stay here again.

New Harbor House Unit B w/Sunset View
Beautiful home, super comfortable and quiet. the island is small so nothing is that far, but it is still pretty close to one of the grocery stores. Hosts are super responsive. We had a lobster bake and there were enough pots and pans to cook & utensils, plates, cups to accommodate feeding family members in the main unit. The porch overlooks a pond and the ocean. It was so lovely to sit outside in the rocking chairs with a cup of coffee and watch the view. We had some small children, including a baby, with us & there were toys for the kids & lots of family games in the main unit. Everyone had a fantastic time. One of the best Airbnbs I’ve ever experienced

Cozy Apartment with Water View of Brook
Our stay was extremely quiet until the upstairs neighbors returned. We don't have kids or pets so we're very used to quiet. Getting used to hearing upstairs neighbors took getting used to for me. The place was chock full of supplies, coffee, Scrabble and welcoming decor. The bed was outstandingly comfortable. The bathroom was modern and creative! The outdoor patio, activities and view of the creek were impressive. This is definitely on our "to return to" list.

Steps to the Beach. Lovely 2-Bedroom apt
Perfect house for a family/couple visit to the beach. It was great for my kids and I. We loved the space that the house offered and how close it was to the beach. Everyone was very pleasant that we spoke to. The house was clean, safe and felt like a home away from home.

Lakeside apartment 2.5 miles from Wesleyan campus!
Always nice to stay with Mark and Tina. Wonderful people. Very convenient location for us. Beautiful setting. We keep coming back!!

"Ashby-Randall": Riverview Getaway Downtown Mystic
So glad I found this spot for a quick trip to visit family. Could walk to everything, bed was comfy, loved it. The design of the space was great, the bathroom shower was great. The furnishings and design were fabulous .

Estuary Riverfront close to beaches and town
Joe was extremely helpful and flexible both at check-in and checkout. The house is very clean and comfortable , we were 4 and our small dog. It is situated on a very quiet street.The backyard is great , it leads to a river that you can paddle (in season, we were there for thanksgiving). The house is an easy 25 minutes from Newport , you will need a car to do things in the area. The driveway easily accommodates 2 cars. We will probably come back, but in the warmer months!

Amagansett, Waterfront retreat
My family had a wonderful time at Robert’s home. The house was clean and cozy and the view of the water was peaceful. He was super communicative and friendly and check in/out was a breeze. The house is in a great area and super close to East Hampton, Amagansett, and Montauk. Highly recommend!

Waterfront with private dock & bocce court
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again ! Close to the many wineries and cute towns, and peaceful and comfortable to come back and relax at. We enjoyed the fire pit , the view from the dock of the changing tree colors and the flow of the kitchen. ❤️

True Ocean Front Vacationing - Groton/Mystic
The pictures don't do this place justice! The home itself is gorgeous and the view is stunning. The neighborhood is peaceful and it was perfect for me and four friends to stay the weekend.

Waterfront Secluded Home with Dock
It is a beautiful, secluded home with a wonderful view of and access to the water on Potter's Pond. The house felt comfortable with a lot of thought for details - the kitchen was well-equipped, lots of pillows on the beds, high quality and a lot of towels in the closets, night-lights, puzzles and games. Made for a wonderful and comfortable stay. We definitely plan on trying to come back!

Waterfront Lake House
Absolutely loved this location! The kitchen was perfect to cook our own dinner, and the dining room table is absolutely awesome. Love the chairs & bench, along with the view of the tv. Everything that was needed, was there. It was an awesome staycation. Thankyou so much!

3BR Waterfront Oasis on Joshua Cove, Private Beach
The option wasn’t there but the photos don’t truly show how amazing the views are. Better than photos! Though our stay here was short and sweet we would highly recommend to family and friends. Each room has a beautiful view of the water giving way to a peaceful and serene stay. We loved that the kitchen and eating space was open to the living space. The tv’s were great and easy to log in and stream the Masters. The decor and styling was cohesive, stylish, and comfortable. Katherine was a great communicator and was very responsive when we had to sadly cut our trip short. Book this place!

Home in East Haven directly on Waterfront
Beautiful house beautiful ocean view! We had a wonderful time with our family, we would like to come back again summertime Thank you

Montauk Sunset at your fingertip!
Picture perfect! Newly updated accommodations with all the comforts of home. Extremely clean and very well managed. The view from this place is incredible. The perfect oasis in Montauk. Khrisna was extremely responsive and accommodating in our needs. Will definitely be back again!

Water front, sunsets, sail boats, Wi-fi, birds
John and Cathy are amazing hosts. This was our second consecutive summer stay in their condo and it does not disappoint. The place and the amenities they provide are amazing and they are a wonderful couple who respects your privacy but are there for anything you need. I recommend anyone to stay here and know they would want to return. Thank you John and Cathy for making our second summer with you a fantastic vacation!

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. Would highly recommend staying here. The unit was spotless and had a wonderful view. We could not have asked for a better stay!

Montauk Waterfront Condo w/ Sunset Views
Absolutely wonderful stay and host. I've stayed at dozens of Airbnbs and this is one of my favorites! Doug's place is even better in person than the photos. We were a little nervous taking our first trip away with our baby, but it was extremely clean and comfortable, and Doug was so kind and responsive. The condo complex has a lovely boardwalk for taking walks, and the deck furniture was so comfortable to lounge in and take in the beautiful view. We hope to be back!

Cozy Vacation Villa 5 minutes from Mohegan
My husband and I stayed at Desiree’s place for New Years weekend. The space was beautiful, clean, comfortable and perfect for our getaway. Close to the casino and spa and anything you need. Would definitely recommend!

Beautiful Waterview Condo on the North Fork of LI
Such a beautiful condo by the water! Too bad we stayed in November, we would have enjoyed the terrace way more! Mia was so responsive and helpful with my questions prior to the weekend at her place.

Endless Summer Studio Condo w Balcony Bayview
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.

Beachside Waterview 2Br Condo w/ Pool in Greenport
The place was perfect nice and clean what I like the best is the it was close to the beach to go for a walk.
