Guests describe Historical New England coastal holiday home-2 min. from Ocean Beach as a beautifully renovated, spacious historic house for groups, with comfortable beds, an equipped kitchen and dining area, responsive hosts, and a location near the water and Mystic.
Reviews consistently praise the tasteful coastal decor, generous common spaces, and plentiful bedrooms and bathrooms that suit multi-family gatherings and reunions. Common downsides noted include old-home quirks (low ceilings on the top floor and slightly delayed hot water), strict 9 pm outdoor quiet hours, and a couple of minor housekeeping or instruction issues. Overall, expect a comfortable, well-equipped base near the beach for groups.

We hosted our family Thanksgiving here. It was absolutely perfect. Big kitchen for cooking and nice big table for dining, all the servingwear and items we needed to host.Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms so everyone was comfortable. There was even a crib for my 1 year old son! AnnGina was incredibly responsive and answered all my questions so quickly. We had an unforgettable Thanksgiving in this beautiful home and I look forward to staying again next year!

This family reunion was wonderful for us because the house offered us privacy in the number of bedrooms it offered as well as large shared space in the kitchen and dining room.It was an excellent family reunion with our blended family as we celebrated Festivus!

We stayed in this house for a Moms Weekend away. There were 11 of us, and we all fit in the house comfortably. The house was beautifully decorated and very clean. We were so impressed when we walked in with the decor. It is so tastefully done. The house has everything you need... bed sheets, ample towels, K-cup coffee maker, dishes, utensils... and more! The rooms were good sized and the beds and pillows were very comfortable. There is ample seating in the kitchen and family room for many people to gather and spend time together. The hosts were easy to communicate with and were very responsive to questions we had upon check-in. If you are thinking of booking this house, you won't regret it. I would definitely book this house again for a group looking to enjoy the mystic area in a quiet neighborhood away from the hustle and bustle.

The host was incredibly kind and accommodating. We particularly enjoyed the beach pass, as we drove ~3 min to the beautiful water in the morning. The amenities were absolutely gorgeous and beyond functional. Plenty of bathrooms, showers, sinks, sitting areas, etc. for our party. We had a wonderful stay!

Our multi-generational family had plenty of room and plenty to do in this New London home. My sister and brothers, children and grandchildren were all happy with the layout. Having rooms that could comfortably fit young children with their parents was a nice bonus. The outside area is also very nice. The front porch was a favorite! We met a couple friendly neighbors, one of whom, told us about the fascinating history the house and those in the area. Hostess answered all messages quickly. She helpful and informative. We spent our days exploring the area. Loved Harkness Memorial Park. It was beautiful…and had nice fishing, according to my brothers. The Recovery Room Italian restaurant was a favorite food pick. The only drawback for us was the 9pm curfew - We would have enjoyed a fire in the beautiful firepit area.

This is a fabulous rental house. We were in the area for a family wedding and housed 15 family members, who all had very comfortable sleeping quarters and access to plenty of bathrooms The large dining room fit everyone for dinner, there's a well equipped kitchen, and a wonderful wrap-around porch for morning coffee and chatting with family. We couldn't have been more pleased with this rental!

We enjoyed our stay at this large and lovely home. The backyard was perfect for our kids' soccer and whiffle ball games. We all enjoyed time on the wide front porch. You can see the ocean from several of the rooms too. The neighborhood was quiet, and Ocean Park Beach was a quick drive away.

Really great house. Its a very old house (maybe a boarding house from the 19th century?) but its meticulously updated. Be prepared for the idiosyncrasies of an old house - low ceiling on 3rd floor, bedroom floor levels are different than hallway floor level, water takes a minute to get hot. I live in an 1890 house so I'm used to these sorts of things. The porch is really excellent. We had 10 people in this house and we had room to spare. We usually stay in a country house near nothing but we all agreed staying in a neighborhood in New London was great. The parking passes to beach were a definite plus.

We were three families of 4, looking for a beautiful house big enough for all of us. We found this amazing house! It was just like advertised, and so comfortable. Great bedrooms, nice kitchen and large dining room table. And so beautiful! Free access to a nice beach. And the owners were available for any questions/issues. We had a wonderful time! Merci!

We rent a house for a family gathering each year. When I asked my wife and children to compare this year’s rental, they all agreed that this year was at the top of the list. The house itself was so comfortable, and the location was ideal. We took advantage of the proximity of the beach, the opportunity to rent kayaks, and the varied activities of the Mystic Seaport and aquarium. The rental house was in excellent condition, and the owner supplied everything that we needed to make our trip successful. She responded quickly to any questions that we had. One thing that renters should know is that there are strict rules about outdoor gatherings in the evenings. This was not a major problem for us, but if you want to sit around the campfire, be forewarned that you are expected to be inside the house no later than 9:00 PM. All in all, this was a great house in a great location.

We are a client services team for a major corporation. There are 13 of us and we pick a new location in the NE each year to relax and have fun for a few days. Mystic was wonderful great shops and restaurants. The house was just what we needed. Enough room and privacy when needed. It is decorated beautifully was spotlessly clean and comfortable. The hosts were most accommodating and pleasant to deal with. We would definitely come back!

This Victorian-style home, close to the water and the park is located in a quite neighborhood. Since we were in town to bring our parents to their final resting place, this large house provided enough room to house three generations. The main floor had many gathering areas, both inside and out. Every level had thermostats, even the master bedroom had its own separate thermostat. Any problems we had were solved quickly and easily.

We were so impressed when we walked in with the decor. It is so tastefully done. The house has everything you need... bed sheets, ample towels, K-cup coffee maker, dishes, utensils... and more! The rooms were good sized and the beds and pillows were very comfortable. There is ample seating in the kitchen and family room for many people to gather and spend time together. The hosts were easy to communicate with and were very responsive to questions we had upon check-in. If you are thinking of booking this house, you won't regret it. I would definitely book this house again for a group looking to enjoy the mystic area in a quiet neighborhood away from the hustle and bustle.

The host was incredibly kind and accommodating. We particularly enjoyed the beach pass, as we drove ~3 min to the beautiful water in the morning. The amenities were absolutely gorgeous and beyond functional. Plenty of bathrooms, showers, sinks, sitting areas, etc. for our party. We had a wonderful stay!

We are a client services team for a major corporation. There are 13 of us and we pick a new location in the NE each year to relax and have fun for a few days. Mystic was wonderful great shops and restaurants. The house was just what we needed. Enough room and privacy when needed. It is decorated beautifully was spotlessly clean and comfortable. The hosts were most accommodating and pleasant to deal with. We would definitely come back!

The house was absolutely perfect for our family reunion. The pictures don’t even begin to describe how well decorated and spacious the home is. There’s plenty of common areas to relax and the Kitchen/dinning room was perfect. The neighborhood for walking is great and very close to the water. The host was very accommodating and the process worked like clockwork. If you travel to this area I highly recommend renting this house. We will be looking for excuses to come back.

Our multi-generational family had plenty of room and plenty to do in this New London home. My sister and brothers, children and grandchildren were all happy with the layout. Having rooms that could comfortably fit young children with their parents was a nice bonus. The outside area is also very nice. The front porch was a favorite! We met a couple friendly neighbors, one of whom, told us about the fascinating history the house and those in the area. Hostess answered all messages quickly. She helpful and informative. We spent our days exploring the area. Loved Harkness Memorial Park. It was beautiful…and had nice fishing, according to my brothers. The Recovery Room Italian restaurant was a favorite food pick. The only drawback for us was the 9pm curfew - We would have enjoyed a fire in the beautiful firepit area.

Location
Quiet New London neighborhood close to the water; the beach is typically a short drive, sometimes with a provided pass. Easy access to Mystic, Groton, parks, and local attractions, and pleasant walks to the shore.

We rent a house for a family gathering each year. When I asked my wife and children to compare this year’s rental, they all agreed that this year was at the top of the list. The house itself was so comfortable, and the location was ideal. We took advantage of the proximity of the beach, the opportunity to rent kayaks, and the varied activities of the Mystic Seaport and aquarium. The rental house was in excellent condition, and the owner supplied everything that we needed to make our trip successful. She responded quickly to any questions that we had. One thing that renters should know is that there are strict rules about outdoor gatherings in the evenings. This was not a major problem for us, but if you want to sit around the campfire, be forewarned that you are expected to be inside the house no later than 9:00 PM. All in all, this was a great house in a great location.

We enjoyed our stay at this large and lovely home. The backyard was perfect for our kids' soccer and whiffle ball games. We all enjoyed time on the wide front porch. You can see the ocean from several of the rooms too. The neighborhood was quiet, and Ocean Park Beach was a quick drive away.

Really great house. Its a very old house (maybe a boarding house from the 19th century?) but its meticulously updated. Be prepared for the idiosyncrasies of an old house - low ceiling on 3rd floor, bedroom floor levels are different than hallway floor level, water takes a minute to get hot. I live in an 1890 house so I'm used to these sorts of things. The porch is really excellent. We had 10 people in this house and we had room to spare. We usually stay in a country house near nothing but we all agreed staying in a neighborhood in New London was great. The parking passes to beach were a definite plus.

This is the perfect house for a family reunion. We had 3 siblings and their spouses, 3 of their adult children and 1 adult grandchild. Room for all. Great walking, good day trips, lots of great seafood and memories forever. The pool table supported our family competition!
