Perfect spot
My family spent four nights here over the weekend my son repirted in for swab summer at the Coast Guard Academy. Having zero familiarity with CT (we're from Detroit) we were very pleasantly surprised upon arrival with the location right on the river with spectacular views and with the amazing updated condition of the rental itself. The value is incredible. We even got to see a sub going by. George is an awesome owner and made us feel so welcome. It was the perfect place to spend our last few days of family time before our son started his journey at the Academy and it will forever be part of our memory of this very special time.

The host, George lives on site and was very friendly and helpful without imposing. The rental had more than enough space and beds as there was just the two of us. The first day we saw a submarine go by and later a train, Beautiful sunsets

Peaceful environment, beautiful views, comfort galore. The property lights at night time were a pleasant surprise. Just a few "oh,nooo" comments: laundry was left in the dryer and the washer had some gunk on the inside - the rubber seal when you open it. The dishwasher had spots of mildew in the utensils spot. The wall hook for the curtain in the bedroom broke on the first night - it was barely in the wall. The Keurig was a bonus, 2 touchlanmps in the bedroom with charging ports, large comfy sofa, magnificent views 24 hours a day. The pros outweighed the cons tenfold. The few negatives were only listed because it wasn't expected with the amount of money we paid.

Location was great for our travels to Mystic and to Foxwoods Casino and Mohegan Sun. Views were great as we saw sailboats and others enjoying the water. It was a bit chilly for the time of year to enjoy the patio amd grill. Plenty of space and beds were comfortable. Hope to return during warmer weather.

He blamed VRBO for this double booking
I received my confirmation and drove to the location with the door pass code and found someone in my unit. Manager claims VRBO never notified him of this booking which I don't believe. I received at least 4 emails about this booking, do you not send a confirmation to the owners? This left my special weekend for my anniversary in shambles. My wife was very disappointed in me. So she went and booked another hotel 15 miles away. When I called VRBO they offered me a nights stay some where but my wife already booked a room with no refund. I asked them to apply the 1night stay to the new location. So I got screwed 2x's on the same day. This was a horrible experience, we deserve better

Graduation Weekend.
Location was perfect. Loved the sounds from the naval base in the early moring, 7:50, and 8:00 am. A key concern was pulling out on to the road from the drive way. The bushes needed trimming. A left turn could be deadly. Visibily was so compromised when turning out of the driveway. I would consider that issue a priority in a return visit. And just a side note, there was insuficient tolet paper. Still love the location, and will return.

Great Waterfront Stay
We had an awesome stay. The River view is gorgeous and the submarine in the distance is an added bonus. Just the right size for a family of 4. We were initially a little concerned about how close the train tracks run to the house, but the train only went by twice while we were there earlyish in the evening and again in the mid morning and it was fun for the kids to watch it go by.

Beautiful, but not quiet
The waterfront locations is lovely, and the bedroom and kitchen were clean well equipped. I knew about the potential for trains to pass by overnight and was willing to take a chance, but we had trains at 10:30pm and 2:30am. Around 6:15am I awoke to the sound of footsteps and running from the family upstairs. It was loud enough to wake me and prevent me from getting back to sleep. One concern on cleanliness: the shower curtain looked quite dirty or moldy at the bottom, as did the fan vent in the bathroom.
