    Beautifully appointed - not a detail was missed. Quiet location with a view of ferries and boats coming and going. The hosts thought of everything a guest would need, plus more. Made access and information about resources in the suite very clear. Recommend highly!

    This little gem absolutely exceeded our expectations. We planned a last minute long weekend (my husband, my 1 year old son, and I), and we couldn’t have been more pleased. The space was really clean, and beautifully decorated. You can tell from the moment we walked in that the owner puts a lot of thought into her rental unit... from the personalized welcome note, to the spices and coffee in the kitchen and the fully stocked bathroom, WiFi, dish network- I can go on... This is a place where all you need to bring are your loved ones and your clothes. Everything else is taken care of. She was even kind enough to supply us with a pack and play and a high chair so we didn’t need to pack them. The location is perfect, complete with stunning views and a private beach. I would highly recommend this beautiful escape, and we definitely hope to come back soon!

    The carriage house was just what we wanted: right by the water, quiet, and near places in the area we wanted to visit. The place was super clean with lots of sunlight. Appliances, dishes, etc., looked brand new. Our daughter said the sofa bed was as comfortable as her bed at home; our bed was great, too. The private beach was directly across the street (less than 100 yards away), plus there was a nice view of the L.I. Sound from the living room window. Beach chairs and towels were available for our use. Our host, Dawn, couldn't have been more welcoming or helpful. She put together a comprehensive binder of what to know about the place and what to do in the New London area, including a long list of nearby restaurants. When the satellite dish stopped working on the second day, she's the one who waited on hold 40 minutes for customer service. The surrounding area is peaceful, with little traffic, and my only regret is not bringing my running gear for what surely would've been a relaxing run along the water. We hope to be back soon. Highest recommendation!

    Beautiful place and one of the best places on Vrbo we have stayed at and we have stayed at many over the years. Wonderful retreat for those visiting USCGA. Every detail thought thru from the coziness of the design and furnishing. Comfortabe king bed to the well stocked watering in the refrigerator and snacks to even the soaps The host was amazing. Our daughter graduates from USCGA this may we wish we would have found this home away from home 4 years ago. Highly recommend this beautiful home away from home. Thank you.

    Everything was perfect for our family of three. The location is wonderful, with a shared private beach across the street, and a larger beach and boardwalk an easy half-mile walk away. The apartment was very clean and well appointed, with everything we needed to cook and relax on the beach. Since we flew in, we really appreciated the use of their beach towels, chairs, umbrella, and beach toys. Dawn was thoughtful, kind, and communicative. We hope to return in the future!

    The Lighthouse Carriage House was extremely clean and organized. Dawn made sure we had everything we needed for our stay and more. We loved exploring during the day and coming back to our private beach to relax at night. Having access to the outdoor shower and washer/ dryer was so helpful! Everything in the house was beautiful with updated full kitchen and bathroom. Between the four of us, we slept great on the super comfy bed and pull out coach. The detailed binder with tips of great places to see and restaurants to eat at really helped with making our vacation amazing! Super organized! We also enjoyed the free passes to the Ocean Beach Park Boardwalk. We had a lot of fun family memories at this house and my daughters loved all the amenities and perks. We will be back soon!

    Return guests; we stayed in here in 2021 as our first post-covid summer getaway and returned a few years later! We stay at a ton of vrbos (and similar) and rarely return to the same one twice, so our return is a testament to this great carriage house.Dawn is a meticulous, kind host with great attention to detail. As Bostonians we consider New London a real gem and we prefer it to many MA beach towns for price, accessibility, and laid-backness!
