Why they chose this property

Nestled in the heart of Stonington Borough, North Main Street offers guests a front-row seat to one of Connecticut’s most charming and historically rich coastal villages. Founded in the 17th century, Stonington has long been a hub of maritime activity—from shipbuilding and whaling to daring privateers who defended the town during the War of 1812.

Today, the Borough retains its timeless New England charm with narrow, walkable streets lined with colonial homes, sea captains' residences, and blooming gardens. Guests can stroll to the nearby harbor, visit the Old Lighthouse Museum, or explore the shops, galleries, and restaurants that give the village its relaxed yet refined character. Just minutes from Downtown Mystic and the area’s famed vineyards and beaches, Stonington offers a peaceful seaside retreat steeped in nautical history and small-town warmth.

What makes this property unique

Whaler’s Rest offers the best of both worlds — nestled in historic Stonington Borough, just a short walk to the harbor and Dubois Beach, and only minutes from Downtown Mystic. Enjoy coastal charm, rich history, and effortless access to Connecticut’s most scenic seaside towns.
