Another great stay at this lovely home in New London
My sister and I enjoyed another great stay at Gloria’s place in a lovely residential section of New London. The beach adjacent location is perfect and this was our 2nd visit this year. We really appreciate this dog friendly home and fenced yard. The location is central to all the places we routinely visit and I have to say- visiting in October was superb. It was lovely to sleep with the windows open and hear the ocean. Gloria is a wonderful hostess and was helpful and accommodating. As long as this is on VRBO- we will be back!

Relaxing two-day getaway
I traveled traveled here with my sister and her dog at the end of June. We were so pleased to find a great location, near beaches & attractions, dog-friendly with a fenced in yard. It was beyond helpful for us with the dog. Gloria was excellent with communication and answered all questions promptly. The house is large and it was great to have choice of bedrooms. There was ample window air conditioning in each bedroom and in the living room. Since it poured while we were there, we didn’t get to visit the beach. However, we know the area fairly well and that did not stop us from visiting our favorite places, including Captain Scott’s lobster dock, Jonathan Edwards Winery in Stonington and visiting the local shops. We appreciated that Gloria has baby gates so we were able to sit on the front porch with the dog and let him walk around. This lovely home was perfect for our needs. The kitchen is well appointed. As Coffee drinkers- we appreciated the drip coffee machine and had brought our ground coffee. We would definitely return again and hope to enjoy the beaches next time around.

Wonderful Getaway for Friends at the Beach
Gloria's home near the beach was exactly what my friends and I were looking for when we wanted a summer weekend getaway. It is spacious, beautiful, and comfortably slept all 8 of us... and a few of our dogs! The fenced in yard for dogs was a huge selling point. Access to the private beach was also incredible, as well as proximity to lively Ocean Beach. Gloria is extremely kind and communicative. I would highly recommend this rental for anyone looking to relax near the beach!

About the host

Hosted by Gloria Woerheide

Host profile image
I am a computer software consultant. This house was my primary residence when I moved to the New London area from Chicago. I love the area and would not have moved out, except that I bought a larger house to turn into a bed and breakfast inn.

Why they chose this property

Originally I came to the area for work and to live by the water. As time passed, I became more and more aware of all of the interesting things to do in the area. As the casinos grew, they brought in more and more first class entertainers and live sporting events. Being from Chicago I am accustomed to having many entertainment choices. In an area like New London County, you wouldn't think you would find the same level of entertainment, but because of the casinos you do.

I count myself lucky to have found this place. So much so, that I plan to retire here one day.

What makes this property unique

We have 6 bedrooms on 3 floors. Older children and teens love our third floor because it has a couch/futon,TV with video cassette player, and cartoon and movie tapes, plus can be closed off from the rest of the house. Some have referred to it as their fort because of the vaulted ceiling.

The backyard is fenced, which is great if you have small children or dogs. On the first floor, our miniature dachshunds used to love chasing each other from the living room, through the kitchen, to the dining room and sitting area, and back to the living room without stopping.

We will provide pots and pans, cooking utensils, dishes, eating utensils, and glasses. There will be salt and pepper, but no spices or other food stuffs. So, please bring your own. You can bring your own towels, sheets and blankets or use ours. The beds are: 2 queens, 5 twins, 1 double which can use queen sheets if need be, one queen hide-a-bed, and one double futon. Just let us know ahead of time whether you are bringing your own linens.

Neptune Park is a family neighborhood and all guests whose rental includes the private beach must follow the beach association rules which help keep our beach a family beach.
