This property was absolutely ideal for the long weekend we needed as a getaway. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The host responded in a timely manner every time. The beds were extremely comfortable, and there was plenty of room for all of us. We would absolutely come here again to this very house really loved it. The nearby Rentals, for crib and highchair were prompt, clean, and easy to arrange.
The property was well appointed including body wash and shampoo. The check out requirements were very simple. Beautiful location on the water. Very convenient location
The property was great! Very clean, rooms were a nice size and the perfect location. It's a 5 minute walk to the beach which was great.we spent most of our time in Mystic which was only a 20 minute drive away.
Instructions and expectations were clear. It was clean. Had ample space we needed. Would have liked the following: Sponge for the kitchen sink, tissues, each bed had a basic blanket but the description indicated there were extras, a clearer statement that the basement bedroom would need to access the top floor bathroom or the bedroom of those occupying the first floor. It states where they are located but not the implication of that. And a tall person is not able to fit comfortably in the shower.
We wanted a place for the family to enjoy New Year's under one roof, and that is exactly what we got. We of course to a ride to the casino which was only a 20-minute drive.We would rent this house again!!!
Such a beautiful spacious home to get together with friends and family. Very clean with nicely stocked kitchen. VRBO staff very helpful with any question. The location was great as well. Just a short walk to the beach. We will definitely return .
Close to three parks and 10 miles from Mystic. Even though the house manual states that Nov-Feb 12:00 early check-in is available, we weren’t able to check in until 1:45. Also, the coffee maker is a Keurig, which we were disappointed to discover when we were ready to brew our coffee 😩. Overall we would recommend this property.

At this time of rental, the house manual/ rules did allow for early checkin "if available." Unfortunately, early checkin was not available to provide. We also state clearly and concisely on the listing page and house manual/ rules that the property is specifically equipped with a keurig coffee maker (coffee pods, creamer, sugar not included). We do hope you continue to utilize VRBO for all of your rental needs, and that your next experience is indeed a great one!
The property met our location needs but wasn't very clean. I wiped off counters and dining room table and the were quite dirty. Floors were also not very clean. Enjoyed sitting on the front porch having coffee. Kitchen towels and dish cloths should be provided. The sponge left in the kitchen was smelly.

Response from VrboOwner on 24 July 2022
Someone is fibbing: All countertops in the kitchen and the dining room table were sprayed with disinfectant and wiped down completely. All floors were also swifter (wet and dry) and vacuumed from top to bottom. There are also a pack of 4 brand new, unused sponges underneath the sink. We supply fresh linens in each bed; provide body towels, hand towels, bathmats, including extra supply in our linen storage area. We clearly note in our direct VRBO message communication with you that, "Any hand towels can also be used for kitchen use. If you are in need of any extra linens or towels, simply request how many and of what kind, and our maintenance will drop off at the home." This was stated verbatim. Not one time did we hear from you during your stay regarding any of these claims. We find it hard to believe that the home became filthy from after the one hour it was cleaned, to the time your group checked in. Why did you not bother contacting us or provide any immediate photos of the home being in such disarray upon your arrival? Because it is untrue. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed coffee on the front porch, yet your review is beyond dishonest.
I can’t stress enough that I has such a great experience. The check in process was super easy. We were coming from Boston, Baltimore and New Haven, so the keypad entrance was perfect. Everything was super clean. The kitchen has all the basics to make even a Thanksgiving dinner, including a turkey!!!! I had my dog with me and we enjoyed running in the fort and walking around... vey call and friendly neighborhood. No dogs allowed on the near by beach park. The house is big with enough rooms for a large family. This was a great experience and would definitely recommend it. I would love to go back when it is warmer so I can enjoy the beach too!!!
One last beach hurrah before school and this home was great! Was a short walk from the house to Ocean Beach Park and we lucked out with great weather. Kitchen was well stocked to cook a family dinner. Plan to come back next year!
house was clean , everything was provided that was mentioned in description , beach 5 minute walk , I guess only neg mention some stains on upstairs carpet ( light stains ) other than that it was great no complaints would rent from them again
We came up for a few days to get a feel for the area, check out the US Coast Guard Academy campus with our son, and get some beach time in. We loved being super close to Ocean Beach Park and just hanging out on the porch of the house. We really enjoyed the house while we were there.
We had a great stay at this property. House was great and had everything we needed. Located within walking distance from the ocean! You could hear the waves from the front porch ( which we throughly enjoyed and used each morning and evening to relax). Only complaint we had was not the property..but the cost of the Ocean park Beach. Expensive for 7 people to go and more to use the pool. However there are plenty of other beaches close by! We loved our stay and would definitely stay again.
