Close to three parks and 10 miles from Mystic. Even though the house manual states that Nov-Feb 12:00 early check-in is available, we weren’t able to check in until 1:45. Also, the coffee maker is a Keurig, which we were disappointed to discover when we were ready to brew our coffee 😩. Overall we would recommend this property.

The property met our location needs but wasn't very clean. I wiped off counters and dining room table and the were quite dirty. Floors were also not very clean. Enjoyed sitting on the front porch having coffee. Kitchen towels and dish cloths should be provided. The sponge left in the kitchen was smelly.

Perfect spot!
We came up for a few days to get a feel for the area, check out the US Coast Guard Academy campus with our son, and get some beach time in. We loved being super close to Ocean Beach Park and just hanging out on the porch of the house. We really enjoyed the house while we were there.

Awesome vacation.
We had a great stay at this property. House was great and had everything we needed. Located within walking distance from the ocean! You could hear the waves from the front porch ( which we throughly enjoyed and used each morning and evening to relax). Only complaint we had was not the property..but the cost of the Ocean park Beach. Expensive for 7 people to go and more to use the pool. However there are plenty of other beaches close by! We loved our stay and would definitely stay again.

Charming place
I can’t stress enough that I has such a great experience. The check in process was super easy. We were coming from Boston, Baltimore and New Haven, so the keypad entrance was perfect. Everything was super clean. The kitchen has all the basics to make even a Thanksgiving dinner, including a turkey!!!! I had my dog with me and we enjoyed running in the fort and walking around... vey call and friendly neighborhood. No dogs allowed on the near by beach park. The house is big with enough rooms for a large family. This was a great experience and would definitely recommend it. I would love to go back when it is warmer so I can enjoy the beach too!!!

Exactly what we were looking for
Our family stayed here in October for a wedding down at Harkness State Park. There was plenty of room for everyone (9 adults) and the kitchen came with pots and pans needed for cooking during our stay. Plenty of linens and place was very clean. Short walk to the beach/boardwalk and beautiful walking path along the river. Driveway looked small but it fit our extra large suburban rental car! Owner was very responsive to my questions before we arrived. Very pleased with this property.

New London get away
We enjoyed our stay in New London, close to many fun little sea towns and walking distance to Ocean Beach. The property was well taken care of and well stocked with essential items like linens and cooking supplies. We had a minor issue the property manager and maintenance person responded too timely. One concern was all the many scented air fresheners that we had to remove due to allergies in the family. I would and hopefully will return for another vacation and have shared this listing with family and friends.

Overall good experience
The positive: House was the cleanest I've ever used. Ample cleaning products, towels, sheets, and it was nice that owner provided beach towels, beach chairs and beach passes. Also beds and pillows were very comfortable. Great location down the block from really nice beach and park! Needs improvement: The house was advertised that it sleeps 14 or 15. We were a party of 14 but there was a shortage of certain supplies. Not enough wash clothes, glasses, plates etc for a large party. Also my family could not sit around the table to eat our meals - not enough chairs. Easy solution would be to provide folding chairs. Upstairs pull out was very uncomfortable you could feel metal springs, luckily we had air mattress and through it on top of pull out. 10 beach passes provided so if you have a larger party may need to pay admission fee but we got lucky we flashed the bag of passes and they didn't count them so we were fine. Final improvement - it would be nice if owner included a grill in backyard.

As advertised
Communication with the owner was fast and easy. The check-in process was seamless. The house was clean, and the location within walking distance of the beach was very convenient. The beach passes, chairs, towels, wagon, etc made the beach experience more efficient and enjoyable. There were ample kitchen and bedding supplies as well. My only suggestions for improvement would be that the portable AC/Dehumidifier unit in the downstairs bedroom seemed to not cool as well as other units in the house, or was insufficient for the size of the room. It also would have been nice to have an outdoor grill. Overall, we had a very pleasant and relaxing stay.

Family beach adventure
The property was wonderful for our family of 8 adults and 2 children. It was an easy walk to the beach each day and having the passes, chairs, and wagon to cart everything in was awesome. To make it a little easier on families that like to cook, it would be nice to have some larger pans and colander. When we had questions or needed help there were quick responses. This was a wonderful first trip to the beach for our grandsons!
