The Dollhouse is an amazing vacation rental. It was spotless on arrival and beautifully decorated. The beds were extremely comfortable and linens were luxurious. The hosts were very responsive and thought of every amenity including snacks, multiple cold beverages, Starbucks K pods, creamers/sweetners, frozen pizza/waffles/ice cream bars and a welcome bottle of wine. The back deck provided a quiet spot for morning coffee and evening happy hours. The house is in a quiet neighborhood and convenient to multiple local excursions to the surrounding towns of Mystic, Stonington, New London, Old Saybrook, Essex and more. We cannot wait to visit the area again and stay at the Dollhouse.

Lovely, Peaceful Stay

The Doll House is a beautiful home. Nick and Nick thought of everything, from snacks to dog toys. I was really impressed by how immaculate the house was. The neighborhood is a quiet dead end street, which was awesome. If you’re traveling to the Waterford area, you will love the Doll House.

My husband and I, along with our two dogs, stayed at the Dollhouse over the Christmas holiday. The hosts Nick and Nick made sure the house was immaculately clean and ready prior to our arrival. The fully stocked kitchen of utensils and appliances with was very helpful with our holiday cooking. The hosts truly made it dog friendly, to include providing a a variety of items ranging from extra leashes to dog beds for use during our stay. The hosts were very responsive and helpful during our stay, periodically checking in with us via text to ensure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay.

Wow! What an amazing host. I think Nick spoiled us for all other hosts. He had snacks, beverages and even treats for my dog:-)! Nick texted us to ensure we had all we needed. Check in was so easy. Place is lovely, and clean. It is convenient to a number of activities and restaurants. We got to go to a very nice beach that was about 15 minutes away, and were able to enjoy Mystic, which was about 25ish minutes away.I traveled with my adult niece and two pets. Nick, and his hospitality, helped to make it a wonderful experience. Highly recommend.

The Dollhouse was awesome!

We stayed at the Dollhouse over the Thanksgiving holiday and had a wonderful few days for many reasons... The house was exactly as it was presented online, but even better, as it was freshly updated throughout the house and felt practically new... including a fully stocked kitchen that we needed to help with the Thanksgiving festivities... Nick was an excellent host and was sweet on our dog Cody by providing treats, a dog bed, and a couch cover (less stress for us when we catch him on the couch that he shouldn't be on... lol ) With this location close to Mystic, we are already planning a return during the summer to see what the area has to offer. Very confident we'd have a great place to relax and enjoy with what the Dollhouse has to offer.
