Wonderful experience! The host was gracious and accommodating to our very last minute request and needs. It is a beautiful property. My family loved the welcome basket filled with goodies. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed to handle meals for a family of 4 for 3 days. The bedrooms were perfect and the bathrooms were very clean and stocked with fresh towels and toiletries. The overall theme of Island Vibes was throughout the property. House guide was very helpful and check in and out were a breeze! Would highly recommend!

Great all around!

We had a wonderful stay. The house is clean, well-equipped, and comfortable. A/C units worked really well in each of the rooms, which was critical on a hot and humid summer weekend. Would definitely stay in the same place again if we come by this region in the future!

Great weekend trip!

We stayed at this house for the weekend of the UConn Health half marathon and 5k. The house was easy to get to and felt very cozy. The beds were comfortable, the ACs worked well, and it was well stocked with anything we needed. The check-in and check-out process was easy. I would highly recommend this house to anyone staying in the area and would stay in this house again if we visited the area.

We had a great stay at this property! While the house is a little dated in terms of décor, it was exceptionally clean and well-maintained.

Nice place to stay

House was nice. It had a lot of character. Updated kitchen and bathrooms. Loved the grand piano, and stained glass window and light in the hallway. Neighborhood was quiet and yard was nice. There is a walking trail right next to the house that cuts through to the local high school. I would recommend as a nice comfortable place to stay.

Great home in a perfect location!

The home was clean and well cared for, and had everything we needed. The location was perfect for every where we wanted to go. We had shopping near by to keep us in groceries, and we had easy access to roads to get us to/from area sites and attractions. The one snow day we had, someone came and cleared the walkways and driveway so we didn't have to, that was a nice surprise, and they even rolled the garbage can out and back on pick up day.

Best place to stay near Hartford

Island Vibes home was absolutely the best place for our 50th reunion from nursing school! Everything was perfect from the 3 bedrooms & 2 baths, large kitchen space to the outdoor deck overlooking beautiful trees & foliage. The neighborhood was quiet and walkable. Only took 10 minutes to get to downtown Hartford for our event. The host, Jacqueline was terrific, extremely responsive. Many thanks to the host for a wonderful place to stay!

This lovely home has a fully equipped kitchen, including spices, condiments, snacks and other staples. There's also plenty of dish soap, baggies, paper products, detergent, shampoo and bath supplies. It's obvious a lot of care has been taken to provide a comfortable stay. All 3 bedrooms and 2 baths are conveniently on the main floor. This is a safe and quiet location within easy reach of the highway, airport and the many interesting sights in downtown Hartford or other towns including the awesome State Capitol and homes of Mark Twain and Harriet Beecher Stowe. The Wadsworth Atheneum art museum is second to none! We enjoyed the piano, even though it could use a tuning. The Amazon Fire t.v. allows you to access your own apps or home Xfinity account. It was nice to have a hiking path behind the home as well. This home is a good value for family or visits with friends.

Beautiful house, creepy over bearing owner

I cant deny how beautiful the house was. It was super clean and stocked with snacks, coffee and everything you can think of. The only issue was the owner. She kept calling me saying she was watching me on camera with my service dogs. Then she said she could tell by the camera that they weren't service dogs, as if you could tell by spying on us through her cameras. It's super creepy to know she was watching us. I disconnected the wifi because God knows where else in the house she had cameras. Overall, she spoiled the perfect trip by being weird and creepy.
