Relaxing Beach Getaway
The house was very well appointed with everything one needs. When we arrived the house was clean and the owner had left some beautiful cut flowers in a vase on the dining room table. Nice touch. I especially loved the views from the porch and hope to visit again, soon!

New London Gem
Loved loved the house, felt like I stepped back in time sitting on the porch facing the ocean kept wondering what it was like so many years ago. House was clean and comfortable! Can’t beat the private beach with soft sand. My 3 year old Grandson was amazed by the light house and the ferries traveling back and forth. Would recommend this rental property

Loved waking up to the sound of the waves,
What a wonderful house for a large family to vacation at. We rented it for my daughter’s US Coast Guard Academy graduation and it was perfect for us.

Family Vacay
My family had such a wonderful time at this beautiful property! We were a group of 7 adults and 4 children (12, 5, 4 and 20 months old) --and this home was spacious enough to support our family and then some. We did not leave the property to experience some of the local attractions......this WAS the attraction. We have a saying in our family--we don't watch television on vacation when you have access to "channel 1"----the gorgeous view!--the lighthouse, the floating dock with a diving board, the private sandy beach, and the beautiful sailboats/ferries that traverse the water on a daily basis. My children and grandchildren all want to go back next summer! Just a very comfortable home with good vibes! The owners were a dream to work with--even mailing YETI tumblers/glasses to us that we left behind! When we arrived---there were fresh flowers in vases throughout the home---such a special touch. The kitchen is well stocked. There were games for children of all ages. We completed a 1000 piece puzzle of "Lighthouses of New England" on the beautiful porch with the New London Ledge Lighthouse as a backdrop.....! I can't say enough about this home and the family that owns the home......We hope to be back next summer!
