Charming Annual Girls Trip

This was my second time staying at this lovely home for my annual girls trip in Stonington. It’s the perfect location with walkable restaurants, water views, shopping, and beautiful neighborhoods. Close to amazing wineries and downtown Westerly, and beautiful beach towns. The house was well equipped, clean, comfortable, and beautiful! The host was very accommodating, allowing us to check-in early and was quick to respond to all messages! We’ll be back next year!

Quick Visit

Bennett was a very helpful and responsive host. The property was in a great location in Stonington. The property itself is an old carriage house and it has character. We were only there a short period of time but it provided the space we needed for our family.

Wonderful Stay in Stonington

Had an excellent stay here. The property was clean, spacious, and had a beautiful backyard and seating area. It was extremely quiet and calm, and we loved the short walk into the town to grab food and ice cream. Bennett was extremely communicative. Really couldn't have had a better low-key time away with family. Thank you so much!

Lovely town. Great back yard. Serious issues.

I'll preface this with saying that this is the first VRBO review I've left in the dozens of properties we've stayed at over the years. This is also our 7th rental in Stonington Boro so I have a good idea of what the standards are here in town. As for the good: The backyard really is huge and a rarity in the Boro with lots of grass to run and play. The location is also great being just a block from Indulge for coffee and the library and and an easy walk to anything on Water Street. Ben, the property manager, is also fairly responsive but... The bad: This property is at best bare bones basic and at worst just not

Quick Summer Trip

This property was perfect for our quick summer trip to the Stonington area. It was the ideal location, within walking distance to coffee shops, restaurants and ice cream while being only a short drive to Mystic and Watch Hill. The unit had more than enough space for our family of four plus my mother-in-law. We would definitely stay here again on future visits!

Girls Weekend

I stayed at this lovely property for a girls’ weekend with myself, my 2 years old daughter, and two of my friends. The house was so spacious and charming! I loved the old windows! It was local to so many wonderful places (ice cream, winery, restaurants, a fun farmers market, Westerly, RI, and more!) the host was very accommodating when we asked if we could check in early. 10/10 would go back again!
