Beautifully set home with anything you need. We stayed with three of our adult children, son-in-law, and three grandkids. Good memories to cherish. The home has everything you need; we enjoyed quiet moments on the upper deck, puzzle making on the front porch (and even finished it!), quick walks to the beach(es), fireworks on Friday night. We even took the lighthouse ferry tour. This home is located close to anything you would want to experience in New London. Five Stars.

Summer '25

Everything about this house is wonderful! It has everything from a more than complete kitchen to comfortable furniture and bedding. Everything you need to feel at home and welcome. The detail the Smith's go to is incredible. Not just the coffee/tea bar but 2 drawers of bandaids! Oh, and a bottle of wine to welcome us. Wish every week was like this.

Annual Girls Getaway

We're a group of high school friends who have been getting together annually for many years. We've had some great houses over the years, and this qualifies up there with the best of them. Even though it's a little smaller than the houses we've booked in the past the location was great, and the house was incredibly well stocked. We loved it so much we're looking to book again for next year if we can make the dates work with the property availability.

Great stay

The house was exactly as a described and has every amenity you could think of! The bedrooms are all a nice size and the beds are very comfortable. There were more than enough towels and blankets and the kitchen has everything you need ie platters, pressure cooker, spices, pots, bowls, waffle maker, etc. just a few minute walks to the beach and driving distance to everything in mystic. The host was extremely communicative and our group of 8 was very happy! Can’t wait to stay here again.

Dream Beach Week

This house met every need. Comfortable, well stocked with extras, everything we needed for beach fun. One room great for the younger set and the other living space great for the older set. Space to spread out, carpeted second floor and stairs plus solid walls kept kid commotion in check. Nice deck, nice chairs in front, nice back yard seating, ample kitchen space for big meals and family cooking…and those beaches….a wonderful week for everyone, and we are booking again😊

MLK Weekend

We take our kids and our kids away every year for a long weekend get away. This year we decided to go to Conn. We enjoyed the beach and Mystic Aquarium and just hanging around the house and playing cards. Being one that loves to cook, I was so impressed with the kitchen and everything that it was equipped with. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Wonderful stay in great New London neighborhood!

We loved our stay in New London! The house is exactly as it appears in the pictures, and it was a perfect size for our family of 4 adults and 3 children. The layout was ideal for the kids to have a room to play in while the adults could watch TV, and the kitchen was particularly well stocked to meet all of our needs. The outdoor spaces were fantastic as well - we had dinner on the upstairs balcony and played in the small backyard with the kids. The location is absolutely perfect - access to the small private beach was our favorite part and the neighborhood is so nice and quiet. Damian was super responsive and communicative any time we had questions. We will definitely book this house again!

Nice house near the water

This house is great - very spacious, lovely furnishings, and all the things you could need. The weather was not so great during our visit, but it was still lovely to see the ocean out the window (we even saw a beautiful sunrise one morning) and the beach was nearby. The house is close to Mystic and other seaside towns which made it a good base to explore the area from.

Girls Weekend in heaven!

If you are looking at this property, then book!! The house is in such good order and so clean. The layout is fabulous, tons of room and room to have your own space. The kitchen has everything you need. Beds are comfy, tons of towels. Electric fireplace that throws heat if it gets cool and it was. The beach is one block away!!! It is true! Ocean State Beach around the corner as other beaches. Close to Mystic and Niantic, 2 towns we visited. Amazing restaurants around the corner- we loved On the Waterfront and Captain Scott's. Finally, the hosts are attentive and very pleasant people. If this place is one of your choices,then book!!

Fantastic Stay

Three generations stayed in this beach house and everyone loved it. Very well stocked from the beach chairs outside to the claw crackers in the kitchen. Don’t forget to read the very personalized ideas of things to do or check out the books and town history on the walls. My kids really appreciated the ocean themed children’s books and kid friendly musical instruments. Great location and clear instructions. We’ll be back next year!

A hidden gem!

Everything about the house and the beach exceeded our expectations. The house is so fully stocked with essentials from the coffee bar to the spice cabinet. Every kitchen utensil, gadget and all kinds of cooking equipment are provided. Coffee, teas, spices, condiments etc. All the furnishings are very comfortable, especially the beds. It’s just really comfortable. The private beaches are just lovely. So close and you can leave the chairs and umbrellas there all week. And they provide so many chairs and umbrellas you really don’t need to bring your own. Probably haven’t said enough about how wonderful this place is. Plus the Host is great!

Incredible stay

A really great stay! The house was incredibly comfortable, cozy, and clean. Great use of space in the living room, four season room with fireplace, nook off of the living room. Bedrooms were spacious, beds were very comfortable. Loved the view from the deck off the upstairs bedrooms. Kitchen was great for meals. And like other reviewers have mentioned, the kitchen is incredibly stocked for cooking just about anything. The quick walk to the water and lighthouse was awesome, even in the freezing cold of February. And the coastal decor was perfect, it made us feel at home. Had great communications with owner prior to arrival. We are hoping to return.

Why they chose this property

It is our cozy beach home and there are plenty of games, places to relax and you can stroll to the beach very easily for a 2 mile walk all on oceanfront. Really nice flat neighborhood with lots of runners and walkers. Bring your ocean kayaks, SUP boards or floaties for use in the water. Sunrises are awesome from the beach and bathe the front of the home in the morning. In the afternoon, relax on the shaded balcony with water views or sit on the Adirondack chairs in the backyard to catch the last of the sun. Sunsets are the best from the 4th beach (the longest one). Sit with your wine on the sand or on the rocks until the sun sets.

What makes this property unique

Super clean, organized, plenty of amenities and decorated (with a beachy vibe) for the holidays. It is pretty special to sometimes see the unique boats in the Thames and LI Sound from the beach or balcony. You may even be lucky enough to see a submarine being towed in our out. Close via short drive to SE CT shore points and to RI (Watch Hill area). Mystic, Block Island Ferry, lobster, scallops, boating, sailing, SUP/ kayak, ferries, wineries, casinos all within the area. Really quiet and peaceful at the beach in winter too and towns nearby stay open all year.
