We had such a lovely stay at Greg & Erin's home. It was the perfect space for our crew and the pool and huge yard gave the kids a ton of space to run around and play. The house was extremely clean and well-equipped. The carriage house was adorable and gave us some additional space to spread out. We, of course, took advantage of the location and grabbed lobster rolls from Lobster Landing. Communication with Greg was awesome and helpful. Will definitely visit again next time we're in the area. :)

Large and functional home

We were two families and my parents. The cottage was a perfect little addition to let my parents have some privacy. Loved the pool and all the floaties/toys. We ended up just enjoying ourselves at home for much of the trip when we weren’t participating in my cousin’s wedding festivities. Was nice to walk down to the marina restaurants too. Only complaint is that the house is a little older so things like outlets/lights/drains were a challenge at times.Greg was super communicative and helpful.

Girls Weekend in Connecticut!

We had a wonderful stay in Connecticut. It’s a great house with plenty of space for everyone to spread out or hang out together over coffee. The fire pit outside was perfect for the chilly nights! It was a girls reunion trip and everyone kept commenting how clean the house was throughout the weekend. We had a wonderful time and Greg and Erin were so quick to answer any questions we had. Highly recommend this house!

Fantastic, clean, comfortable, convenient

We were a 3 generation family traveling together and all agreed we made a great choice with this house. It's clean, comfortable, and in a great location. The pool is amazing. The separate cottage is great if anyone wants their own space. The basement is fun for kids- ping pong, darts, tv. There's a nice sunlit game room. Great to be able to walk to restaurants, kayaking, town. Nice big lawn. So nice that the house is minimal and sparse (no personal clutter in sight at all). We would love to return!

Perfect house for a family vacation

My family ( adult children and young grandchildren) enjoyed our stay immensely at this property. The owner was in contact before and during our stay, with immediate responses, and was very helpful answering all questions. He left us a bottle of wine, yard games, and we all made s'mores in the great fire pit in the yard. The backyard is large & open enough to fly kites as well. The property has a beautiful yard and heated pool, the house is clean with nice furniture and fully equipped. The bonus for us was that we, the 'grandparents,' had our own private cottage next to the house. The location is great, 5 min drive to Clinton Beach, good neighborhood for biking, and close to everything. We would definitely rent there again!

Ideal Family Getaway!

Unique, welcoming home with all the perfect amenities! The house is impeccable, offering lots of room for everyone to spread out and come together for dinner, games, and outdoor recreation. The first-floor setup is ideal for extended families, with an open kitchen-living space that leads onto the back deck and out to the pool. I enjoyed the airy, bright office/sunroom, where I snuck away for some work time and connected with clients. The private yard is completely fenced in, with a large heated pool and plenty of patio furniture. The fire pit was perfect for gathering around at the end of the day. There were pool floats, noodles, and outdoor games in the shed, which were convenient to access. My husband and I enjoyed the quiet retreat of staying in the cottage with some downtime at the end of the day. The owners quickly responded to inquiries and replied hospitably, ensuring our stay was worry-free. We have plans to return next year!

This is our second stay. We came back because we knew how much we like it. The location is great for walking to eat, to town, to the water. We love the 2nd house so grandparents get privacy. The pool and yard are so lovely. The hosts are very kind and easy to communicate with. The house is clean and comfortable. Definitely recommend!

Perfect long weekend mini vacation

My husband and I had such an enjoyable weekend with our 2 sons, daughters in law and our 6 grandchildren. We spent quality time together, barbecuing and enjoying the wonderful pool. The home is beautiful and the kids loved swimming in the pool. The host kept in contact with us and everything was perfect.

Family wedding

Our daughter was married in Westbrook and this house was close by and fit all our needs as a family that also had small children. Our only concern was that the inground pool was open to the backyard so obviously children had to have constant attention on them. Other than that, it was a beautiful large backyard and we had a nice fire in the fire pit and a lot of fun playing ping pong and darts downstairs. The open kitchen and family room was wonderful. Would recommend to any large family

The Rocky Sprocket Adventure

Our bicycle group, the Rocky Sprockets, just completed its 45th consecutive bike trip that included a three-night stay at this beautiful house. 10 members participated this year, and the house, the property and the location were absolutely perfect for us. We had plenty of room, the pool and backyard patio were awesome, and the kitchen/living room layout gave us a chance to be together as we cooked meals and reminisced about our many tremendous rides over the years. After riding 65 miles on Friday we were ready to relax, and the house provided that and much more. A/C, plenty of room, large bedrooms, a downstairs game room and a guest cottage were more than enough for us to comfortably spend a weekend together. We cannot think of a single thing that we would have changed!! And we took our bikes for a ride along the shoreline on the weekend and found some incredibly beautiful shoreline spots in Clinton and the neighboring towns. Overall, the house and location far exceeded our expectations and we look forward to returning next year.

Wonderful house!

We greatly enjoyed this beautiful home in Clinton. House was perfect, pool and yard were excellent, and communication with the owner was superb. It was our first time renting in this area, and we especially enjoyed Hammonasset State Park - beautiful beach. The only negative was that the street was somewhat busy and the young kids couldn't ride their bikes there. I highly recommend this beautiful property.
