This is our second stay. We came back because we knew how much we like it. The location is great for walking to eat, to town, to the water. We love the 2nd house so grandparents get privacy. The pool and yard are so lovely. The hosts are very kind and easy to communicate with. The house is clean and comfortable. Definitely recommend!

Perfect long weekend mini vacation

My husband and I had such an enjoyable weekend with our 2 sons, daughters in law and our 6 grandchildren. We spent quality time together, barbecuing and enjoying the wonderful pool. The home is beautiful and the kids loved swimming in the pool. The host kept in contact with us and everything was perfect.

We had such a lovely stay at Greg & Erin's home. It was the perfect space for our crew and the pool and huge yard gave the kids a ton of space to run around and play. The house was extremely clean and well-equipped. The carriage house was adorable and gave us some additional space to spread out. We, of course, took advantage of the location and grabbed lobster rolls from Lobster Landing. Communication with Greg was awesome and helpful. Will definitely visit again next time we're in the area. :)

Great for family

House was nicely restored and larger than it looks. The pool was great and the small guest cottage was a nice plus. Great open floor plan downstairs and four good sized bedrooms upstairs, including very nice master suite. Short walk to waterfront with restaurants, though town beach is about a mile away. Basement set up for rec and great for kids.

This was a great place to stay for our family of 14. There was plenty of space, well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds. The pool was amazing and enjoyed by all. Greg and Erin were easy to communicate with. The only suggestion I have is that our crew could have used a few more towels. Overall it was a fantastic experience! Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful house!

We greatly enjoyed this beautiful home in Clinton. House was perfect, pool and yard were excellent, and communication with the owner was superb. It was our first time renting in this area, and we especially enjoyed Hammonasset State Park - beautiful beach. The only negative was that the street was somewhat busy and the young kids couldn't ride their bikes there. I highly recommend this beautiful property.
