Spring Break
The owner reached out to welcome communication when I reserved the house. He was very happy to answer questions and was quick to fix the minor issue we had upon arrival. The house was clean and accurately fits the description. We highly recommend.

Two night stay in New London
Staying at this home provided a great home base to explore a few activities in the area. We were able to use the kitchen for meals & relax together once the day was complete. The location within walking distance to the beach was ideal for walks/runs and listening to the waves of the ocean. The host was kind & responsive - we would stay here again!

Great Get Away
This house was perfect for a girls' weekend away. The house was pristine, there was plenty of linen, and the kitchen was very well equipped. There were plenty of games, some books, and a tip board for guests to leave each other suggestions and reviews for local attractions. The bottled water, breakfast bars, and popcorn were a great added touch and we loved the "take a bottle, leave a bottle" wine rack! We were 5 adults and a toddler and had plenty of room to spread out (with a much appreciated and easy to use baby gate at the top of the stairs). One thing we didn't realize before booking was that the room with two beds can only be accessed through the king bedroom. This was not a problem for us at all, just something to note. While we didn’t make use of it, the playscape in the back was great, and it's a good sized yard for kicking or throwing around a ball. It's not often hosts go above and beyond to make a rental feel like home, but these hosts nailed it. Looking forward to booking another stay in the future!
