Stonington, Connecticut
This nearly 100-year-old Victorian house is ideally located with water views and walking distance from the beach (long walk - or short drive) in charming Stonington, Connecticut.
There is a large, efficient kitchen. In addition to six charming bedrooms on the second and third floors (king-size bed, three queen-size beds - one with a canopy, one full-size bed, and two twin beds), this house has a huge outdoor deck with a view of the beautiful sunsets over the water. A large yard provides the perfect setting for basketball and other outdoor pursuits (sports supplies can usually be found on teh mud-room porch, under the deck or in the three-car garage). The primary bedroom's bathroom has a shower and a large tub, and there are two other full baths and a half bath.
With the numerous bedrooms, great living space in and out of the house (living room, dining room, and huge kitchen), and its casual relaxed decor highlighted with beautifully restored antiques, this house is ideally suited for summer rentals, family reunions, wedding groups (no parties allowed), families coming to town for graduations, and holiday weekends.

We had a great time. The AC units are pretty tired but functioned.
House is over 100 yrs with plenty of charm. Large dinning table, living room and deck looking on boat docks. Great location and the house met all our needs. The host, Allison was responsive to messages and gave us suggestions.
A great choice for a New England summer vacation. There was adequate space for the 10 of us visiting from out of state (8 adults and 2 children ages 8 and 11). This Victorian house is clearly historic (100+). We appreciated the spacious and charming layout and furnishings. There was ample room for sit-down meals in the dining room. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and dinnerware. There were games, musical instruments, and a smart tv in the living room, a wonderful backyard deck looking out over Don’s Dock and Lambert’s Cove (lovely sunsets), and wicker chairs on the front porch for relaxing chats. Relatively easy walk to restaurants, shops, and the beach in Stonington Village. The owner was responsive and gracious in answering all questions. We had a wonderful time. Thank you!
We had a wonderful long weekend staying here. The home is very spacious, clean and comfortable. The property is perfect for a large group as it has a good number of bedrooms, bathrooms and large lawn for outdoor games. We enjoyed the deck for meals and watching the sunset in the evening. The owner, Allison was very responsive to questions and very accommodating. We would definitely rent from her again.
We had a great time relaxing after a busy city trip. Wonderful location, amazing view, friendly neighbours and close proximity to lovely beaches. The property is perfect for a large group as the communal spaces are a good size along with the number of bedrooms.
Wonderful odd house. Breakfast on the patio was beautiful and sunset even more so. The neighbors were also very friendly. It was also nice walking in the morning before we set out for Mystic. Food store very close
We are a group of 8 women who rented this house for a 4 day stay. The house is exactly as described in the listing. It has a large kitchen which is equipped with everything you need for cooking for a large group and enough seating in the dining room. The livingroom is also large enough for a large group to gather to watch tv, play games or just to relax in the evening. Since this is an older home it does not have central air conditioning however the livingroom and bedrooms have window units that work well. There are also enough bathrooms for a large group. The owner provides a variety of household provisions such as soap, paper towels, cleaning products etc for your stay. As stated in the listing, it is a Victorian style home with 3 floors so there are stairs to climb to get to the bedrooms which may be difficult if you have mobility issues. We really enjoyed our stay at this home and would rent it again if we were in the area.
Great place loved how many it easily slept would rent again!!
This house is great! There was so much room for our party of 8. Plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms and general space. We really enjoyed sitting out on the deck each day enjoying the weather. It is so close to the wineries, Mystic and restaurants. The owner, Allison was wonderful. Great communication and very accommodating. Super friendly! Thanks for opening your house to us!
This was my family’s first experience renting a home and in many ways it went very well. The house is in a great location with excellent views. It has all of the room that large group needed and is obviously well cleaned and maintained. The property owner is very responsive and helpful. However, there were a few things that stood out and made our stay more uncomfortable than we expected. First, the advertised air conditioning amounted to in-window air conditioning that barely cooled the upper levels (especially the the third floor) and “house rules” requested that they be used only when absolutely necessary. Second, the TV was very old, had no working remotes, got no local channels, and could not be easily attached to any of our devices. The lack of TV was problematic in the evenings and on rainy days. We anticipated big family dinners but felt there was not sufficient cutlery or serving bowls provided. Finally, the provided towels and linens were clean, but very old, mismatched and felt like leftovers. On a whole, we had a good time and will look fondly back at our trip to Connecticut. However, the home could have been more comfortable.
