Totally hit the mark! This was a stay for family members for a wedding, Thanksgiving and a homecoming from a military family member. We had about 20 people for Thanksgiving and the open Floorplan dining area was perfect. We loved all the open views from windows and doors

The house is right on the river and is a lovely space for a group of people. Be aware that this is a multi-unit building but the other tenants below were quiet and the space was private.

Coast Guard Academy Family
Nine of us met here to spend some quality time with our granddaughter before her first day at the Coast Guard Academy. It was very relaxing but also very close for a day trip to Boston. We also enjoyed the town of Mystic. The house accommodated us. One child did sleep on an air mattress. The bedroom connected to the upstairs bathroom and master bedroom was a little awkward but not to many places have the number of beds we needed. We made it work for us.

Good place overall! Just know that the checkin instructions were missing some information. We had some Ubers drop folks off but Ubers can only be on the street. They can’t pull in to driveway to drop off! Other than that we had a wonderful stay. Nice quiet neighborhood.

Lovely riverside holiday!
Our family of 5 adults and 2 kids (3 & 6 yrs) had a wonderful stay over the Christmas week. The home is amazing - lots of windows looking out on the Thames River, 4 bedrooms as described, a well equipped kitchen, and a very large and comfortable open concept dining area & family room. The views are stunning, and the occasional train or boat going by was always fun to watch. There's also lots to explore in the area including a submarine museum in walking distance, and lots of amenities & restaurants within minutes by car. George was easy to communicate with and very helpful. The entry & exit procedures were easy and automatic. We would definitely recommend this VRBO home!

Very nice
The house was beautiful fit all 12 people. The service from owner was outstanding. We had a question about how to work the tv and the owner came right in and showed us how to watch what we were trying to watch. The view is just amazing and waking up from the master bedroom and looking out to the water and the sunrise was just incredible. Very nice stay definitely would recommend to anyone.

Excellent Stay with a gorgeous view.
Perfect! Our stay was wonderful. The owner is incredibly attentive and nearby. This house was perfect for a group of 7 with 2 kids in town for a wedding. Plenty of space and we even saw two submarines! The train is loud but you get used to it. The view is pretty and the amenities are great. Hard not to stay outside all day! Definitely a hidden gem in the area!

Relaxing views
We can’t wait to stay again! It was so quiet, even with the other unit downstairs which is mentioned in the description, and the two or three times the train went by in 5 days(which honestly my kid thought was cool to watch it go by so closely). The individual rooms themselves were quiet from other parts of the house. We loved the pool table and all the space to spread out! The VIEW is incredible!! It was hot when we stayed so we would pull the curtains in the evening to keep the sun from heating up the house. It would have been nice had the AC units been turned on before our arrival knowing we were checking in (it was 84 in the house when we arrived) but it cooled down quickly once we got the units running. There were some oddities about the layout of the kitchen but it was large and sufficient. There was a cabinet over the fridge that wouldn’t stay closed (just needs a catch added and that would fix that issue). The home was clean where it counted, but the ceilings are very high and had some thick cobwebs that needs to be cleaned out. I was going to unpack into the dresser but it was a little rough, some drawers were broken and it just didn’t seem clean enough to put clothes in. The house has so many amazing qualities and incredible potential! Overall we were very pleased with our stay and can’t wait to return!

Misleading and falling apart - Avoid this place.
This property is falling apart. It was probably once a 3.5 star house but is now 2 stars or less. Blinds are broken, floors scuffed and beaten up. Walls are all marked up with horrible patches. Everywhere you look it is in need of repair. The 4pm checking, offering NO ability to even drop off bags is inconvenient to say the least. 2 hrs later than typical. 1 of the 4 bedrooms is only connect through another bedroom/bathroom making it useless to anyone but a family. The worst part is the undisclosed fact that there is another rental under the main house. And maybe even a flat for the property manager. You are never alone and never feel private. It was impossible to have quit enjoyment of the property. As a result all we did was sleep there. Even that was unenjoyable. Avoid this place.

CGA Grad Celebration
The property was the perfect place to celebrate our son's CGA Grad week with family. We rented the upstairs and the downstairs and it was a perfect place for the entire family. Quiet, beautiful, and very spacious---gorgeous views! We could see the academy from across the water. The week could not have been any better. The place was perfect! The host was super.

Getaway for Mom
We decided to change our annual getaway with Mom and stayed at this lovely home instead of an inn. First floor bedroom was a plus for her - being she's almost 90 and didn't have to do the stairs. Terrific views and we were lucky to see a submarine ! After we saw the train our first night, it was a must on the following 2 nights. Even though it was misting on the third. Luckily it was only between 8-9 pm. Very spacious rooms, comfy beds, and a helpful, hard-working housekeeper. Host was responsive when needed. Could use a few more coffee mugs. ;) Thanks for sharing this beautiful space !
