Photos and Description of the Stonington vacation house rental
4 bdrms, 3.5 baths, Sleeps 8 +

Enjoy magnificent water views from this historic townhouse in the heart of Stonington Village. Erected circa 1840, the three-story building has been renovated to fit modern standards. The house feels crisp and new yet retains its original, gracious character, including gorgeous wide plank pine floors and double hung windows. The furnishings are upscale and the beds are luxurious. Completing the package is a charming side yard and two spacious decks overlooking the ocean and Connecticut's last remaining commercial fishing fleet . The owner’s took optimal advantage of the beautiful ocean views and choose an upside-down floor plan (living room, kitchen, and dining room are on the third floor). Every day the living room comes to a standstill when the sun, settling upon the water, fills it with magnificent colors. French doors lead to a fully outfitted deck where dining atop the ocean never fails to please.

This is a detached, three story 'townhouse' with a side yard. It is nestled between other smaller houses, on all but one side, and therefore has wonderful unobstructed views to the ocean. There are two flights of stairs, ten steps each. Keep in mind that they are 1800's 'style' i.e. the rise is a 1/4' steeper. Our experience is that the comfort level has more to do with stamina and physical condition than age. We have an 80 year old couple who love this house, but even a fifteen year old doesn't always like stairs.

This is a true 'Borough' location. The Townhouse is within walking distance to 6 popular restaurants, as well as the beach, the lighthouse, and Stonington's wonderful shops (not just antiques anymore). In fact, our favorite restaurant (less than 2 blocks away) is one of the most popular in the county. With people traveling 45 minutes to dine there, our only complaint is the long wait for a table. If you haven't visited the Borough you're in for a treat. Nestled on a small peninsula, the village had a thriving fishing industry in the 1800's; hence it boasts many grand old homes. Now, an avid sailing community, and Connecticut’s last surviving fishing village, it has the perfect balance of both year rounders and summer vacationers. Everything one needs is within walking distance; fabulous restaurants, antique stores, and clothing boutiques. The new playground can be viewed from our deck!

What a wonderful time we had in Stonington
Our home away from home was the top two floors of a beautifully restored gracious town home. A beautiful staircase with sparkling planked floors leads you up to the two bedrooms and the next staircase to the living area.
The bedrooms were large and each had a fully equipped bathroom. They each had windows that opened -allowing in lots of wonderfully scented summer sea air. The master even had it's own deck.The top floor had a huge deck with great deck furniture and a view over the Stonington harbour and park. The kitchen was modern and very well equipped. The living room had comfy seats and lots of books and games for our enjoyment. The dining area had a wonderful formal colonial feel - perfect for sitting down to a meal at the end of the day.
And what days we had - strolling the quaint village, enjoying the park, having fun at the beach and attending a local fair. The village has several great restaurants, and we particularly enjoyed the "Skipper's Dock" where we spent an entire afternoon enjoying their fine food , drinks, ambience and good company.
We are looking forward to a return one day.

Amazing and charming house in Stonington Borough

5 of 5
Submitted: March 20, 2013 Stayed: October 2012
We rented this house after seeing it on a bridal blog. My family and I used it as a home base the week my husband and I were married last fall. Because our wedding and reception were also in the Borough, it was the perfect location.

The house has a clean, lived in feel with almost every amenity you could want. The decor is tasteful and warm. The house has been updated but has kept its charm. The views from the upper deck are amazing. the house was in great condition with nice linens, towels, and even great dining room linens.

Anna Belle was such a gracious host. She offered her assistance if we needed anything, and she is so genuine that I wouldn't have hesitated to call her. Even though it was Fall, she went to the trouble of replacing the flowers in the window box at the front of the house, which made us feel special. She also left a lovely gift basket.

The house is wonderful, the host is wonderful, and Stonington is wonderful, which I hesitate to mention for fear that more and more people will discover it. It has been a special place for my husband and I for years, and now is even more special given our wedding.

Many thanks to Anna Belle for the special touches, large and small, that she provided to make us feel special, relaxed, and at home.

A perfect location, with all the facilities we needed for our family of four adults and a 4 and a 2 year old. We especially appreciated having air conditioning as the weather was warm and humid. IN addition we enjoyed all the activites available to us for entertaining the little ones: the Carousel at Watch Hill, the Aquarium and Seaport Village at Mystic, and especially the child friendly beach at Stonington and the playground around the corner from our Town House. We also made good use of the toys provided at the house. Must also mention the excellelnt laundry and kitchen facilities. We were totally happy with this wonderful 10 day stay at this Town House in Stonington.

We recently spent a week with my 2 sons, daughter-in-law, and 14 month old granddaughter at this wonderful house. It was so comfortable and had everything we needed. Beautiful views from the top deck and since it was in the borough it was fun to walk to restaurants and cute shops. I highly recommend this property!
