The Boathouse, private downtown Harborside suite
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Clean, Comfortable, and Thoughtfully Prepared! We had a great stay! The place was spotless, quiet, and exactly what we needed for a few nights of good sleep and hot showers. It was clear that the host put thought into making guests feel welcome—there was a mini chocolate bar and a bottle of water waiting for each of us when we arrived, which was such a kind touch after a long day of travel. Check-in was smooth, the bed was comfortable, and everything worked perfectly. While we didn’t spend much time there beyond resting, it was the perfect place to recharge. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a clean, convenient, and cozy spot!

Mystical Ocean View in Historic Stonington Borough
We had such a fun and memorable stay at this unique home! The layout was so interesting ,with a spiral staircase leading up to the attic, where there were two cozy rooms and a small library that we absolutely loved exploring. It added such a charming touch to the whole experience. The house was incredibly spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room for everyone to relax. The views of the beach were absolutely beautiful …waking up to that was such a treat! The owner was lovely -very pleasant, helpful, and gave us some great recommendations on things to do in the area, which we really appreciated. Overall, it was a wonderful stay in a one-of-a-kind house, and we’d absolutely love to come back again!

Tranquil Apartment with Waterview, Walk to Beach!
I love this place. Perfect but what we were looking for. Walking distance to access beach. Overlooking the pier. Very clean and check in with.

Squire Chase House
Jason was a great host. Very responsive to any questions we had while staying on Shelter Island. The location is great - easy walk from the North Ferry and central to great restaurants. Airbnb was exactly as pictured. Would definitely stay again! Thanks again Jason!

Hide Away at Rock Farm UConn Private BnB “5 Star”
Staying at Jeri's place was a spur of the moment "stay-cation" for me to get a little rest & relaxation away from home. I reached out fairly late at night to book & Jeri was very responsive & flexible on having me check in last minute. I've stayed a lot of Airbnbs/cabins & I can honestly say that none have been as well stocked as Jeri's. Tons of spices, condiments, ziplocs, pots/pans/bake wear, toiletries, & even fresh eggs, milk and maple syrup to go with the pancake mix that was provided. The funny thing is that I have a lot of food restrictions so I wasn't able to eat any of it but I genuinely appreciated the thoughtfulness. There were even dog bowls, a bed & treats for my chihuahua which was especially sweet! Very, very clean! Everything was spotless. This is a very well taken care of AirBnB. The bed was amazingly comfortable. The chickens were so cute & the garden is very impressive. It's a beautiful and peaceful spot. Jeri was great to talk to! I will definitely be back. :)

The Pond Mill Retreat w/ 2 Bdrms & Pool
Dawn and Bob’s place is one of the top Airbnb’s we have stayed in! Top notch in every way. It was spotless, comfortable and had everything we needed. And on top of that Dawn and Bob were the most friendly hosts we have met! I would recommend this Airbnb without reservation and will be back whenever we are back in CT!

Recharge at our Renovated ocean front unit
Great place ideally located next to town and the view is amazing. highly recommend in particular for short term stay.

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!
House rentals with beach access

Lakeside bliss
We had an absolute PERFECT stay here! First off- the house. This home is so charming in every way. We loved the way it’s decorated and laid out, and it’s so cozy, clean and beautiful. You are truly able to relax here. Also, the bed is extremely comfortable, the water pressure is great, and the A/C works very well. However, perhaps the best part of this house is the view! There are sliding doors in the living room and bedroom, and the view of the lake is breathtaking. The area is super safe and quiet, and you are in walking distance to downtown Niantic and the Boardwalk which you cannot beat! Also only about 20 minutes from Mystic. I cannot forget to mention how amazing our host, Katie, was! Super attentive and responsive with messaging, and she was even here doing yard work when we arrived so she greeted us which was such a nice touch. Overall, we will DEFINITELY be looking to stay here again! Loved every minute of it.

Barnacle Bay Beach House
My husband, dog, and I LOVED our stay here- so much that Danielle accommodated for us to stay an additional day! It was the perfect location. Private enough where we felt secluded, but yet right off of a main road with so many great restaurants to walk to! The beach was about a 5 minute walk, and left us with the perfect spot and feeling like we had the beach completely to ourselves the days we were there. We are already talking about going back, and can’t wait to plan our next trip. Thanks so much!

Amazing 2BR Riverfront Gem
We loved our stay. The host was very responsive, friendly and accommodating. The place was spotlessly clean and well equipped for whatever we could think of needing and then some.

Harbor Heights
our family enjoyed our time. Thank you!

Niantic Cove Waterfront Escape: Relax & Unwind
Great little house. Very well stocked and very clean. High quality all around! Little beach area is very rocky so not for lounging but a great launch point for small boats. Water in the area is very calm. Neighborhood is very quiet and cute with lots of amenities.

Make a memory
It was a great place & extremely peaceful. The air is the tiny bit salty. We slept will the windows cracked. I heard a bird call at night, that got me right to sleep.

Walk to the beach at Black Point, Niantic, Ct
My first experience with AirB&B - very pleased - the house was PERFECT - - we live in Fl and immediate family in Ct & Boston ! Gathered together to celebrate 3 graduates! We had a beautiful beach day & plenty to do on the bad weather day! The whole experience was wonderful as well as the accommodations! Would not hesitate to recommend to family & friends!

Iconic home at Saybrook Point with pool
This is a spacious, historic home super close to Saybrook Point Resort & Marina. Rooms are large and home was very clean. Great location with nice outdoor deck and pool to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. I wish we had visited during pool season, however we did have beautiful spring weather to enjoy on the deck.

Lisa and I enjoyed our stay at Laurens place. Felt right at home. Very clean, open space. We had the best time and did not want to leave. We will be back for sure.

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!

Beachside Waterview 2Br Condo w/ Pool in Greenport
We had a great stay! Instructions were clear and the home had everything we needed.

Deluxe Studio Apt@The Montauk Manor
Just had a wonderful stay at Robert’s place! The place was impeccably clean, and Robert was incredibly responsive and friendly throughout our visit. While the manor has a charmingly vintage vibe and could use a bit of modernization, we truly enjoyed our time there. The warmth of the atmosphere made it feel like a home away from home. We recommend for anyone looking for a cozy getaway!

Beach Escape. Walk to Beautiful Beaches
We love staying here. This was our 3rd or 4th year in a row that we stayed here. It is a great location so close to the beach and the inlet. The unit is always neat and clean and Courtney and Chris are great hosts.

Coastline View Studio
Fantastic weekend spent in Montauk! Close to everything. Matthew was quick to respond to my questions before we arrived. Would defiantly book again!
