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

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.

Beautiful space, amazing view. It was a shame that we had to arrive late and leave so early in the morning that we couldn't enjoy the space to its full capacity. We look forward to returning on a more leisurely schedule.

Great space in a wonderful location. Excellent jump off spot for daily excursions or for lounging and enjoy the picturesque views. We watched Swans, Mergansers, Scaup and a juvenile Bald Eagle While there. We were very pleased to have stayed here.

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.

Great property with a gorgeous views on the river. The beds were comfortable and we had plenty of space. The only small thing was the noise from having people living above but if you are prepared for it you will have no problems. Overall, great experience and great host.

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.

George is awesome! Friendly & welcoming. The place is perfect. Clean & modern. Located directly on the river. We were fortunate enough to see a bald eagle & a submarine. We had a relaxing time. It was tough to leave. We are hopeful we will have the opportunity to come back.

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.

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.

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.

The unit itself was functional, though not very well appointed with kitchenware or bedding. The view is stunning and proximity to the submarine museum is a definite bonus. Upon arrival, we had not received check in instructions via VRBO or directly from the property manager so we weren't able to access the unit until we found someone upstairs an hour after we attempted to check in. Also upon arrival, there was food from previous renters in the refrigerators and old pizza boxes on top of the fridge that hadn't been taken out. No recycling and garbage outside door was knocked over by a critter in the night making for a big mess that we had to clean up. Generally it was okay and the view is beautiful but could use some refining. Perhaps okay for the price.
