Cute Cottage

Cute place with great location. Easy walk into town. Tiny for sure but the bedroom felt spacious as well as the living room. You can swim off the patio at high tide too! The bed was comfortable. Overall very nice place!

4th visit to the Shanty and if nothing else it is a highly consistent experience in a remarkable setting.

The Shanty is a remarkably unique property. It is more houseboat than house. It is extremely snug inside but feels more expansive because of the harbor activity being in your view at all times. It is both simple in its layout yet comfortable and extremely well located just a short walk into town.

We loved our stay at the Sunrise Shanty.

The Sunrise Shanty is a perfect getaway spot. The Shanty is as thoughtfully designed and full of character on the inside as it is on the outside. Though it is a small space with regard to square footage, each living space is thoughtfully designed to maximize efficiency and livability. The harbor view is amazing and the multiple, beautiful, well-placed windows add to the beauty and charm of the Sunrise Shanty. In addition, the good people at the Island Agency are the perfect hosts. Not only are they kind and welcoming, but also they are also thoughtful, efficient and responsive. We had a perfect stay; we are grateful for the experience and plan on returning as soon as we are able.

Amazing location on the water in the most amazing village!!!

The cottage is deceptive in appearance and size. Most comfortable for 2 people with a lovely outdoor space. Close to town and fresh lobster right off the boat. Of course all the necessities are covered, even the lobster pot and utensils. The neighborhood is extremely quiet, even when the lobster boats go out early in the morning, you are right in the fishing harbor. All the shops, restaurants, cafe, library and farmer's market are all within walking distance, as is the very famous opera house. This is a dream location not to be missed. Waking up to the fog horn or the blue heron right out the bedroom window is quite special. I'll be back.

Satisfactory, as always....

We know the Shanty well, this having been our third consecutive summer stay. And, the Agency, as always, does its part to make the entire process as smooth and welcoming as possible. The Shanty is perfectly situated and as close as one can get to actually experience Stonington from the sense of being on the water or operating a fishing boat without actually being on the water. Its compactness and simplicity are also part of the appeal.
