This was our second year bringing family together for a week at the shore. The house is perfect for a group, plenty of room to spread out, and beautiful quiet beach access a short walk away, just right for small children. We’ve booked again for 2026, third time’s a charm
Amazing little get away! Plenty of room for our family and a very short walk to the beach!! Amazing sunrise from the upstairs balcony looking out over the ocean.
The house was incredibly welcoming and had everything we could ever need for our family. The house was just what we needed to bring everyone together to attend graduation. We highly recommend! The beach is cozy and such a treat
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.
We had a wonderful time in this house. This house is well-furnished and located in walking distance to a private beach. A view from the terrace is amazing. The house owner is very kind and responsive with any questions. We would love to return next year!
What a great trip! Everything you can ask for inside, and a fantastic spot to stay as well! Accommodating and thorough hosts made this trip a breeze from start to finish. We’ll definitely be back!
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The private beach was great and we enjoyed walking to the Ocean State Beach and walking the boardwalk.
The house was well furnished and it was comfortable for the seven adults and 1 child.
The house was great! It was stocked with all the necessities that we needed! The deck was a great place to sit and watch the boats. It fit our family and friends perfectly.
Our group of 5 couples truly enjoyed the ambiance and hospitality of this lovely coastal CT home. Angela and Damian were the most gracious hosts and left nothing to be desired. We had an amazing time and would love to return
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.
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.
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!
Enjoyable time with family at Christmas time
Everything you need in the household was there The Home was nice and clean, had enough room and space for the family. Home was well decorated for the holiday.
Would love to make reservations again.
This house was the perfect location with access to the private beaches. The house was very clean and well equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Owners were very responsive with any questions we had. Two families of 4 stayed very comfortably in this wonderful home with comfy beds! The second story deck was perfect for coffee in the morning or cocktails in the evening! We would definitely stay here again!
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.
House is as advertised with more than enough room for our group of 6. Nicely decorated in a relaxed, beachy vibe with plenty of amenities and supplies. Access to the private beach with chairs, umbrellas and towels was a real bonus. Also a short walk to Ocean Beach Park and boardwalk. Would have been better for us if house were closer to more nice playgrounds and rainy day indoor activities for young kids.

About the host
Hosted by Damian
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.
