Seas the Day at the CT Shoreline
Alexandra’s place was a great stay for our weekend get away. Short walk to the beach and near anything else you might need. Alexandra was very responsive and accommodating to any questions we had.

Peaceful in Peconic
We loved this vacation, Peconic is the perfect place to spend 2 peaceful weeks by the Sound. The cabins are comfortable and the kitchen has great cookware and sharp knives. There are ticks here, check yourself regularly.

Zion's Light Beach Cottage
We had a great stay at this cottage- it was a perfect size for our family and was extremely clean, warm and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the quick walk to the beach, and proximity to town. Hosts were very friendly and responsive but never intrusive. Would highly recommend.

Salty Breeze - Waterfront Cottage on the Cove
We had a lovely stay - just one night, but we found the place to be quiet, clean, and comfortable. The view out onto the cove is very nice. Check-in instructions were clear, and Jesse was very responsive when we had some questions. We'd absolutely return or recommend.

Ridgeview Suite at Stony Creek Depot
The photos don't do it justice—this charming place is even more spacious than it looks online. The vintage decor added a cozy touch that made us feel right at home. Highly recommend!

BEACH FRONT COTTAGE OVERLOOKING THE SOUND
Beautiful space, quiet neighborhood with a lot to do in nearby towns. The views from the house are stunning and our stay was really comfortable.

Vinola-Lakeside Cabin on Beach Pond with Sauna
We had an amazing stay at this cabin. Tucked away in the woods right on the lake, it was incredibly peaceful and the perfect place to relax. The cabin itself was adorable, clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. We only spoke to the host (Angela) briefly, but she was so kind and welcoming, and let us know she was available if we needed anything. It truly felt like a hidden gem, and we can’t wait to come back!

Beachside Branford- walk t0 Beach, Grill, Fire Pit
Amazing, quaint beach house just seconds from the water. Hosts were great, answered any questions I had immediately. We are from town and stayed while work was being done at our home but will definitely be recommending this property to friends and family who come to visit.

2BR Guest House on 36 acer Estate Indoor POOl/SPA
This day was exactly what me and my little family needed for my birthday weekend. It was private it was peaceful. The host was very responsive and accommodating to all needs and very understanding. We definitely will be booking again. Can’t wait till next time.!

Gorgeous home with saltwater pool. Steps to beach!
We had a fabulous stay at Spencer and Maddie's! Their house is lovely and perfect for a cozy family getaway. We especially loved the kitchen - stocked with all the necessary appliances, the fireplace and a welcoming family room. The house is tucked away in a quiet area, steps away from the beach and a short drive / jogging distance away from Greenport and its lovely cafes, nearby wineries and the beauty of North Fork. We appreciate how friendly, welcoming and responsive Spencer and Maddie were and look forward to coming back!

Beautiful Waterview Condo on the North Fork of LI
Such a beautiful condo by the water! Too bad we stayed in November, we would have enjoyed the terrace way more! Mia was so responsive and helpful with my questions prior to the weekend at her place.

Endless Summer Studio Condo w Balcony Bayview
We really enjoyed staying at Lynn’s place! Very clean and had a great view of the ocean from the deck. Lynn was very responsive and made the experience seamless. We would definitely stay with Lynn again.

North Fork Sound Front Home with Pool
Loved the character of the house and the views cannot be beat. The air bnb was the highlight of our stay. The sound of the waves is just perfect. We will be back in the summer! The host is also amazingly helpful.

Seaside Summer Escape –2BR Waterfront Condo w/Pool
My stay at Julie’s was wonderful, I was always able to message and get a quick response she was very accommodating. The view was beautiful and felt comfy like home. I will definitely be returning in the summer once it’s warmer !

Beachside Waterview 2Br Condo w/ Pool in Greenport
The place was perfect nice and clean what I like the best is the it was close to the beach to go for a walk.

Spacious Oceanview Villa (Sleeps 22)
Katie’s home was beautiful, immaculately kept and exactly as photographed and described. We rented the home for a family reunion and needed all 8 of the bedrooms that were available. Even though we were a very large group with many kids ages 10 and under, we never felt uncomfortable or on top of each other. The two living rooms and outdoor space made it so that we all could spread out but still spend time together. The large dining room table fit our family perfectly! Katie was responsive, thoughtful and so very kind! We are looking forward to our next stay at Katie’s beautiful home!

Niantic Bay Beach Property
This home was so beautiful- I think even better in person than the photos, and the photos are already beautiful. We felt so at home, Cathy was helpful, responded quickly for any questions I had, gave lots of information on the area and recommendations for food/coffee. Highly recommend!

Direct Shoreline Long Island Sound Waterfront
Our visit was utilitarian. We needed accommodations for us, our grown children and grandchildren and a dog. But the site of the cottage, its charm, its comfort made us wish we were staying another week. James' thoughtfulness went beyond any other Airbnb hosts' that we've experienced. Everything we might need if we were staying 10 days was there, clean, labeled. Thank you, James.

East Haven Beach House
What a great place to spend Christmas in Connecticut. We felt right at home and cooked most of our meals at the house. The third floor room was the best for watching sunsets. Communication was great, even with a question on Christmas Eve! Would stay again!

Oceanfront Getaway - Quiet, Firepit + Pvt Beach
This Oceanfront Getaway has amazing views of the ocean from all over the house. We sat on the deck and watched the tide come in, we cooked dinner and watched the tide go out. My family and I took long walks down the very quite beach (right outside the back gate). This section of beach seems to only be used by the people that live in the neighborhood so it did feel almost like a private beach. My kids found so many large sea shells they had trouble picking a few favorites to bring home. There were lots of great places to eat within a short drive. I highly recommend any of the G Cafe and Bakery locations for a great coffee and/or breakfast treat. It was also fun to explore some of the smaller towns nearby like Branford and Niantic both of which offered unique shopping experiences. Marc and team were super responsive and provided many amenities like laundry soap, dish soap, coffee, and creamers. We had so much fun we look forward to a return trip in the future.

Waterfront Home with Private Beach
Brandon's place was dreamy for our two families with young kiddos -- cozy and quiet winter beach vibes, very atmospheric and peaceful and relaxing. We built a fire in the fireplace, watched movies, enjoyed the sunrise and sunset, and walked along the rocky shore. Would recommend, even in the dead of winter.

True Ocean Front Vacationing - Groton/Mystic
The pictures don't do this place justice! The home itself is gorgeous and the view is stunning. The neighborhood is peaceful and it was perfect for me and four friends to stay the weekend.

The Eagle- Private Beach
We had such a great time at this beach house! The place was super clean, and everything was easy to find. The directions were clear, and the host was awesome—gave us great ideas for things to do in the area. We had a blast and would definitely stay here again!

Fenwood Coastal Getaway Private Beach Access
Jasons house was a perfect, comfortable stay for our group attending a wedding. It is a block from the water and gives you access to the private beach. The beds and couch were very comfortable and the space was clean.
