Our 7 person family had a wonderful time at this delightful beach home. The views were terrific, including lighthouses, ferry boats, and submarines on the way out to sea. The house was kid-friendly, with sand toys and direct access to a well-kept sandy beach. There is no dishwasher or microwave, so we washed dishes or warmed up food the 'old fashioned' way. Anna (owner) was very responsive as we made our plans to return to the NL area for events with old friends. I recommend this charming property for a New England vacation or simple getaway to ocean breezes!

WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR KIND SINCERE REVIEW.
YOU WERE A REAL PLEASURE TO WORK WITH. WE HOPE WE CAN HAVE YOU RETURN AGAIN. WE ARE VERY PROUD OF THE BEACH HOUSE IN ITS GLORY THT CREATES FAMILY MEMORIES FOR A LIFE TIME.
The house and location was exactly what we were looking for.
Near the Submarine base, Mystic, and other places to visit on cloudy days. We were so happy that the beach was two feet away.
My daughter who was with us said she felt like she was vacationing like a celebrity. The house has everything you would need to relax and enjoy, located right on a private beach.
Great things about the house:
The beautiful beach!
The patio just off the beach with the large cantilevered umbrella and plenty of patio furniture!
The porch dining room!
The beautiful bathrooms!
The good sized living room connected to the even larger living room!
Individual air conditioning units in every bedroom!
Quality mattresses and high thread count bed linen!
Things you might wish you had:
A Dishwasher
More cookware and cooking utensils
A microwave
A completely empty refrigerator and freezer
Access to the master bedroom’s balcony
Window coverings of bathrooms’ upper windows
Overall awesome house- don’t let the little issues deter you, just come with a few things from home.

Love that every family comes and has made so many memories together.
The house was large and comfortable. We really enjoyed relaxing on the patio! The neighborhood was great and the beachfront location can’t be beat for an enjoyable family trip. The private beach was well maintained and relaxing.

New London Sound Vacation
The location of this house was perfect. It is in a very nice small community. They do a great job of monitoring and making sure only residents/renters/quests occupy the area or beach. We could walk right out to our own beach. Beach was very clean as they clean it up daily. Ocean was wonderful with very small waves and beautiful views of the sound and light houses. Nice brick patio to use if you don’t want to be on the beach. Enclosed porch on back overlooking the ocean with table to sit 6 or more. The house is old but but has been updated in some areas. Pretty clean over all. Kitchen could be more accommodating. Just verify with owner what is available before you arrive. Owner was very nice and helpful. We made some wonderful memories and had a very relaxing, enjoyable vacation. Make sure you do a ferry tour to appreciate the whole area and all the amazing lighthouses and islands. We would definitely go back someday.

Our beach house has all stylish updated kitchen and bathrooms, windows and flooring. A few of the architectural elements remain as they are so unique and special.
The last renter said she was missing a can opener and baking sheet tins. So we now have the can opener too! Enjoy the therapy the beach sound and site provides to your family stay 😀�
