Photos and Description of the Stonington vacation house rental 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, Sleeps 8 plus 1 crib and 2 extra twin beds

Look at our WEBSITE under 'Further Details' ..... 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 garden 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 true 'Borough' location. The Townhouse is within walking distance to 4 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!

Further details for this vacation house rental in Stonington, Connecticut

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.

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.

A perfect weekend getaway

travellertop Metuchen, NJ
Review Submitted: November 14, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2009
We thoroughly enjoyed our brief stay in this beautifully restored home overlooking Stonington Harbor. A fusion of the old and the new. Wood plank floors, renovated baths, hotel quality linens, upscale beds and bedding in spacious rooms. Very clean. High-end appliances in the kitchen. Cable, HDTV and Internet access. Lots of light with panoramic views of the harbor from 2 spacious decks. Magnificent sunsets. Fine casual dining at the Water Street Cafe, and Milagros, 1 Block away.

Wonderful Family Vacation!

Jill Anderson Boston, MA
Review Submitted: October 8, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
My extended family stayed here for a week in September. Anna, the owner, maintains a beautiful and spotless home.

We had every possible amenity and the kitchen was stocked with condiments and spices. There are toys, board games and videos for all ages, adults and children. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the home is virtually baby/child-proofed - latches on the cabinets and gates to prevent little ones from going down the stairs.

The bedrooms were very spacious and the master bedroom is romantic with its own veranda. We enjoyed grilling on the deck off the living room ... so relaxing to watch the ships roll in while the sun sets! Great fishing - my husband caught a massive striper off a nearby dock. Restaurants, cafes, the beach and cute little shops are all within a 10-minute stroll. The supermarkets is a 5-minute drive. And we spend one day in Mystic, which is only a ten-minute drive.

Anna is very friendly, professional and very easy to work with ... in all, we had a fabulous time, highly recommend this home and can't wait to return!

Our top favorite things about this property

Mary from Phoenix Phoenix, AZ
Review Submitted: August 14, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
1. Views from the deck!
2. Spaciousness-was absolutely perfect for our family of 5.
3. The decor was tasteful and the amenities made it feel like a home, not a rental.
4. Ablility to walk into the Borough for coffee, restaurants, shops
5. Taking the self-guided walking tour of the Borough
6. The kitchen/living room/dining open floor plan allowed our family to stay all together in the same room while doing different activities.
7. Loved the master suite and deck and the fun, tasteful curtains
8. The beds and linens were gloriously comfortable!
9. Yummies left in the cupboard and refrigerator.
10. All the details-fresh flowers, beautiful garden
11. Going to the Farmers Market which is right there on the green behind the house.
12. We loved meeting the local fisherman and getting FRESH seafood (lobsters, scallops) from Billy, Joe and Ted
13. We felt very safe here.

The owner, Annabelle, was a terrfic hostess and we became fast friends. We would definitely stay here again and will also recommend it to our friends, too! Staying in this quaint house and village was a wonderful New England experience for our entire family.

Review Submitted: November 18, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
We are looking forward to our next stay at this charming, yet spacious and very family friendly home. It is obvious that this is a well loved home that is bright, filled with character and offers great views. We also enjoyed living like a local - walking to shops, restaurants, and the beach.
