Spend Thanksgiving by the sea in this lovely island home located on Mason's Island between the New England villages of Mystic and Stonington Borough. Walk to Kitchen Little for the best breakfast you'll ever eat and stroll out to Ender's Island and imagine you have arrived on the shores of Italy. On Saturday, Santa arrives by tugboat and lighted boat parade, and you won't want to miss that! Do your Christmas shopping easily in Olde Mystic Village and the charming shops in Stonington Borough.

Head to Watch Hill for a peaceful walk on East Beach, finished off with a cocktail on the porch at Ocean House. On the way home, stop at Dogwatch for dinner on the dock or Seawell to pick up lobster rolls to bring home for dinner on the backyard patio. At dusk, keep your eyes open for deer and coyote beyond my fence.
