We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and celebrate my brother's bachelor. The house was immaculate and well-appointed. The amenities were amazing - from the pool and hot tub to the theater and game room, we always had something to do. Appliances were all high-end and worked great.The land is clearly seen to with care, and the location was secluded enough for privacy but still close enough to hit the town, casinos, and golf courses.Check-in with the caretaker was smooth and the host was quick to respond to communication. Overall a top tier experience at a phenomenal price.

We were looking for a place that was large enough to host our family during our son’s graduation weekend. Additionally, we wanted a bedroom on the ground floor with en suite bathroom for my parents. I don’t think there is a member of my family who would not want to come back and would not recommend this fabulous home as a place to gather and get away with family and friends. I can’t recommend it enough. We stayed for three nights and couldn’t take advantage of all the house had to offer. You won’t be disappointed staying here. The beds were all comfortable. The house was incredibly clean. The pool and hot tub were lovely. The sunset view at cocktail hour is ideal. And the location can’t be beat - easy access from the highway, easy access to shopping, easy access to Mystic and beaches. If we ever have need for something like this again, we would absolutely look for this first.

Three generations gathered here for our annual fall New England get together and it couldn't have been better. Lovely home and grounds, comfortable beds, and all the necessities for a relaxing stay. We had 2 days of rain while there, so the game room and movie theater saved the day! Loved our stay!

The ladies and i had a great time this past weekend for a 5 day 4 night ladies weekend get away. It's our 3rd time here and we love the property. Very spacious inside for all of us to hang out especially in the kitchen area where we mostly hung out. We had one small issue with one of the showers backing up with water. We made a call to the caretaker John and he was there within a hour to fix it. Also, our host Kerri was great when renting this beautiful home. Can"t wait for ladies weekend 2027!
