Last minute booking
Due to an inaccurate description on another rental site, my husband, his 93 yr old Mother and I needed a place to stay ASAP. We had some unique concerns about my Mother-in-law because she is only 4'10' tall, making very high beds and tub/shower combos a problem! This house was perfect! The walk-in shower stall in the master suite worked well for her. We found the beds to be extremely comfortable. We only used 2 of the 4 bedrooms, but they all seemed very nice. The living area was large and the kitchen was adequately equipped.
The drawback is that the bathrooms are woefully outdated. Classic early 80''s colored ceramic tile, some cracked, and leaking faucets. There have been minor repairs made. And thankfully my Mother-in-law is a very tiny person, otherwise she would have struggled to use the shower stall...extremely small!
4 stars due to the condition of the bathrooms...if you can overlook that, make it 5 stars!

Nice neighborhood, nice house
The house is very clean and cool. It has plenty of room for a medium sized party. It is outdated style wise but perfectly fine overall. Beach was super close, nice 4-5 minute walk. We ran into someone who owned a home in the street right next to ocean and she told us a little of the history of those houses/ streets. Overall, it was a very nice vacation and 100% suitable house very close to the ocean. What more could you want? Owner was responsive and helpful. Maintenance guy was very friendly and courteous.

Beyond expectations, loved the place!!
The stay was amazing, as it surpassed all of our expectations. The moment we arrived, everything sort of fell into place. We were a party of twelve ( family and friends). The renters communicated everything really well. Checking in was so smooth and easy. From begining to the end of our trip, there was no need to contact the renters for they made sure to equipped the house with pretty much everything. The house was beyond what was advertised, and it was perfect for our crew of 12. We felt as if we'd never left home. This was an amazing stay, as we were really impressed with the Linen closet full of towels, bed sheets, pillow cases etc. We weren't expecting to have these extra so, and everything was cleaned and well sanitized. I have a lot of picky travelers, and not one ha so anything remotely negative to say about this place. It was an amazing stay, we're already planning for a summer trip and would love to be lucky enough that this place will be available for that stay. Thank you for making our stay, all it could be.

Beautiful Location and very spacious
This is a very large location. The space is very nice. The area around is also beautiful. I would HIGHLY suggest going for walks in the surrounding area.
The utensils are under the microwave. We didnt realize there were utensils until the last day.
The one knock, is the TVs are very old. They are not smart TVs. We wanted to play games on the downstairs TV but couldn't. Unless you bring a gaming system you can't watch any streaming services. We wanted to watch a show while it rained... but we couldn't. I would suggest mgmt either get a smartcast device or upgrade the TVs. It may seem small but there are a lot fun group activities where you need to smart cast.

Ocean Beach Rental home
Overall loved it. Online description said there was an ice maker and check out instructions said to put dishes in washer; we didn’t see one in kitchen. Some of the A/c vents need to be cleaned but overall place was clean and comfortable. Bathrooms could use updating but nice to have 3 of them. Loved short walk to beach and beach passes were nice.

Great location
Functional 4 bedroom with great location relative to Ocean Beach State Park with all the beach gear provided. A/C was great during a few really hot days. Would have loved to have a grill to BBQ out back. Would go back again.

Wonderful, clean home, perfect for a beach weekend!
We had a group of 8 people and a small dog visiting for a summer weekend. The property was perfect for a small group, with amazing organization for amenities that some places do not provide; including supplies for beach (less than 2 blocks away). The kitchen and dining areas were great for our needs, and the bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and well stocked. The event room (or the room of requirement as we called it) was great to have access to for any activities needed, from sleeping to playing games, or just another room to set up a table and chairs.
The owner was very responsive to all communication and worked to make sure that everything went smoothly. Check in and check out were no issues. The only time there was a problem was an unfortunate instance of the basic cable being out. However, the owner did everything in his power to fix the issue in a timely manner.
The neighborhood itself is beautiful. It is worth a simple walk to the waterfront to see the view at sunrise or sunset. The beach and boardwalk are great, with a large pool, mini golf, an arcade, and snack and cafes right on the water.
This was a wonderful vacation, and I would recommend this house to anyone with a similar sized group!

Nice place.
We were a family of 5 going to Mysitc. There was plenty of room, though comfortable seating for tv watching was limited to 5 people. If you have more than 5, the others will have to sit on the wooden dining room chairs. Having a keurig was great. One thing to note is that the bathroom off the master bath is super small. Everyone ended up using the other two bathrooms. One thing to be careful carpet tacks, particularly where the carpet is joined with the kitchen and especially on the stairs going down to the basement. One of our party ended up cutting the back of his heel. We figured out what the issue was - some of the carpet tacks weren’t hammered in all of the way. It was probably a fluke and would only happen if you set your heel down close to the back joint of the stairs but it is something to be mindful of.

Great location!
All of us — 6 adults and 3 kids under 11 — enjoyed this property. We were only 2 blocks from the ocean beach gate. The A/C worked great! We appreciated having beach chairs and a wagon to bring things to the beach; and a hose right outside to wash off sand. Shampoo and body wash provided, but may be worth bringing loofahs as there weren’t many washcloths provided. Tips for others: the pull out couch in the basement has a really uncomfortable mattress, consider bringing a pad or comforter to pad it a bit. Also, an extra blanket would have helped get cozy in the cool basement bedroom. The house comes with some dishes and silverware; but we brought our own pan and spatula to make pancakes. The kitchen has a keurig; but you’ll need to bring the coffee pods and fresh sugar and creamer. We’d definitely stay here again!!! It was clean, comfortable, cozy, and convenient!

Had a wonderful trip
Fourteen of my friends and I rented this house in June and it was a great decision. The house was super clean and even closer to the beach than we expected. The owner was quick with responses and made our trip stress-free. We had a wonderful time at the beach using the beach passes that came with the house and the resturants around us were scenic and affordable. The security deposit was returned in less than 24 hours and we overall had an amazing stay.

From booking to checking out, VRBO and the location was great. Everything was clean well maintained
This house was a perfect fit for 12 of us to stay. A group of friends staying the night after a fishing trip. The patio area and large dining/living room area were the perfect setting to talk and tell stories. The house was large and all areas of the home were clean and well maintained and no frills.
Excellent and plentiful off street parking.

We had an enjoyable stay near the beach!
The home was good for our needs....sleeping 10 and 3 bathrooms. Beach passes were used everyday and were an excellent amenity. We replaced a broken wheel on the wagon only to have another wheel break during use. Beach was close by and the rides and "waterpark" were great for the two grandkids. We had a problem adjusting A/C to constant airflow and the vents around kitchen table made it so cold that we had to block them or couldn't sit at the table without being real cold. Overall, the accommodations were suitable for our family as we enjoyed our stay in New London.

Great!
We all really enjoyed staying in this home. There was more than enough room for all five of us and our dog. Rooms were clean, beds comfy, plenty of linens, roomy closets, laundry worked. Plenty of parking if you have multiple cars. Master suite bath/shower was a little tight for big guys, but the main bath was roomy. Three bathrooms work well for big families. The roomy kitchen was very nice and had a coffee maker, working appliances, and plenty of storage for groceries. The screened in porch is very nice and comfy. Wifi and TVs worked well. There is a beach wagon, several beach chairs, beach umbrella, beach towels, and included beach passes, and were just two blocks from the beach. It sure beat being in traffic, which goes in front of the house. I felt safe in this neighborhood near the beach. We thought we'd see fireworks on the 4th, but all the area delayed until the following week, so look into that if you are expecting celebrations, because the nearest fireworks were in New Haven, which is almost an hour away, so we did not get to see them. There is a grill and picnic table outside; make sure parts are all there before making cookout plans, as previous customers may have left with parts, but the owners compensated for this. The owners were very accommodating and answered all questions immediately both via VRBO email, text and phone. The beach is very nice, get there early for a spot. There are some pictures available of the beach area online that do not do it justice, taken in winter. The mini golf is a nice little place.There are parks and places to explore nearby, which you should look in to ahead of time. We did not go to Ocean Beach Park where the rides are though, so can't comment on that. We loved Ocean Pizza, nearby Mystic, the submarine museum and the aquarium. We would stay here again, and maybe for a longer period.

Great Experience!
We had our summer staff retreat at this property, and we had a lovely time! There was plenty of space (for our small staff) and we were all very comfortable. Great time and beautiful location!
