Shabby apartment in great location

Only because I was asked to by the host I’m writing this review. In summary you pay for the location but not for the apartment. The apartment is gloomy, dark and smelly, filled up with a random collection of furniture which could easily fill 3 apartments of this size. While the apartment was cleaned before our arrival it smelled like over-disinfected. Still the rugs, towels, etc. had clearly seen a few years. It’s too expensive for what it is if you don’t want to pay for the location only. It is obvious that no renovations have been made since the landlady moved out. We’ve rented various summer vacation places in the past but this one definitely stands out in terms of neglect. I’ve never written such a review before.

Location was great and we loved being in the heart of things. We had everything we needed. It was the perfect place for a meetup with friends. It was cluttered with so many chairs. It’s old and needs some work but it did not detract from our stay. We loved the outdoor seating area with a view of the water; however the blinds and sliding glass door were difficult to open/close. I was a bit put off by having to make a deposit and then the requirement for insurance or additional deposit. Why have a deposit if you’re going to require insurance? Seems like the property owner should bear the insurance. All in all, it was a wonderful stay.

Stonington Boro Summer 2024

My stay was everything I hoped. I had my 2 dogs with me but there was a dog park and walking through the village is beautiful. The house is older but there is not an item you could think of that was not available. Carolyn, the host, also owns the antique store below the apartment so was available if needed.

Great Location, clean and unique

Open floor plan. Lots of furniture still, not enough comfortable chairs for a rainy day. Need of updated lighting, etc. Nice deck. Property owner is very attentive. Easy walk to swimming, boating and very good food. We love the boro

Great location!

The unit is located in heart of borough. Parking was easily available on the street so we could park and walk. Host was very accommodating and accessible. This quirky unit had a fully equipped kitchen. The very narrow, spiral steps led to the loft bedroom with the two queens. Both bathrooms were on the main floor.

Very comfortable & well stocked. Super helpful owner and central location!

We had a great stay- The owner was very friendly, responsive and extremely helpful- The apt. had a very homelike feeling and has everything you'd need. It's very light and open --and provided a wonderful stay in ever-lovely Stonington!

Lots of Character

Nice and spacious and well lit. The rooms were ample and the deck was just right. The location in town allowed for access to everything we wanted. Beach, docks, Restaurants, gallery’s and walks. It needs some updating. Privacy isnt the best. We enjoyed.

Not Everyone's Cup of Tea ...

Location wise, it's in the heart of the boro and the kitchen was well stocked. Beyond that, "quirky" translates to deferred maintenance. --The windows overlooking Water St. are hopelessly filthy and need to be replaced. (Owner admitted they "have to be cleaned".) --All major appliances are used and abused. Printed instructions would have been helpful. (Even the TV was tricky.) --Window blinds in the MB are inoperable. They can't be lowered or adjusted so the room is continually hot, bright and without privacy. The cords are badly frayed. Recommendation? Replace ASAP. --Some teflon cookware is so scratched, it's unhealthy to use. --The multiple (15-20) throw rugs throughout the unit are trip/ fall hazards and had to be taken up for our own safety. --The dated floral (coordinated with decor) bedspread in the downstairs BR smelt of BO. When was it last laundered? --The overgrown array of plants in the entry stairway suffer from longterm neglect. It's an accumulation of dead leaves, struggling foliage and discarded trash guests have randomly tossed in. --Many of the owner's personal belongings are stuffed into drawers and shelves making the space feel crowded and cluttered.

Comfortable and Convenient!

We really enjoyed our stay at Carolyn's quirky, eclectic apartment over the very rainy July 4th weekend. Carolyn is the owner of the antique store below the apartment, and she fills her home with interesting objects that are fun to look at! The apartment has a unique and interesting layout, that invites gathering and entertaining, but still has ample space for privacy. The deck off of the main bedroom is delightful-though it was a bit soggy while we were there! Though there were some condition issues (a pulled out screen on the door to the deck for instance), the apartment was clean and welcoming; everything you needed for a comfortable stay was provided, and more! The location is ideal, with an easy walk to all Stonington Borough has to offer, and a quick ride to neighboring villages, like Mystic and Watch Hill. All in all we were grateful to Carolyn for sharing her place with us and we had a lovely time.

Home away from Home

This home was the perfect fit for our large family gathering. The house was stocked with everything we needed for cooking and entertainment. The floor plan was open and bright! Carolyn was the perfect host... available and helpful but never intrusive... we loved the place and the town. We went the perfect (hot) weather week and the A/C never failed us. We were able to partake in the firehouse’s Lobster dinner fundraiser ...which was AMAZING) We could walk to beach, farmer markets, the shops, and restaurants, which were plentiful (we recommend the “Social” coffee shop) Grocery store was about 8 mins away for all our needs. Stonington was beautiful with quite an array of massive historical homes to admire. Mystic and Groton also very close. Rhode Island beaches were super close too! Was a great experience and we’d do it again!!! I could go on and on... you will love this place!

Unbelievably great choice!

I fell in love with the (huge) apartment, the landlady, and the town, right outside my door. Sat on the deck and used my binoculars when the skies were deep, deep blue. Mournful foghorn/lighthouse horn, the smell of the sea, amazing light inside due to many windows and skylights. Charming, it feels like home. I am thinking of having my family of 10 meet here for a holiday, as Carolyn has supplied everything you could imagine, for cooking, and enough for at least 12 people. Plus a washer and dryer! Beach towels, blankets, wine glasses, detergent, everything. Carolyn has a wonderful antique store downstairs, make sure to check it out. And she loves animals! The hottest weather in recent history was no match for the heavy-duty a/c units, plus fans. And wonderful dog-walking right outside the door! A park a short block away. She even has dog gates. I could easily move right in! I parked right on the street outside my door. As a library employee, I love that it is 2 blocks away. A friendly, beautiful town that is much easier to get to than the Cape, that rivals Salem, Cornwall, etc. I’ll be back for sure! (Hope to retire near here.) Tip - sign the guest book at the little free library by the swings in the park. Mystic is just down the road, but Westerly, across the river, is just as nice. Stores here are wonderful; usually open 10-5 or 10-6. Cash only at the convenience store - 1 short block walk, but they have an atm. They open at 5 am for your newspapers, etc. close at 5.

Location, Location, Location

Carolyn was a very attentive and gracious host who answered emails and texts promptly. She gave us privacy but made sure we knew she was available if we needed anything. Her Town house was warm and inviting. You felt at home instantly. The location was the icing on the cake. Stonington Borough itself is a gem. Given that it was midway between Mystic, CT and Westerly, RI provided so many options for a relaxing and fun family vacation. We enjoyed the beaches in Westerly and Mystic, spent a day at the Mystic Aquarium and took the ferry out of Narragansett to spend the day biking and exploring Block Island. We packed a lot into 1 week.

Great place to relax

My husband, our two young adult sons, and I met two family members here for a long weekend and had a blast. The huge dining room table provided plenty of space for family dinners and evening games. The tables next to the front windows were great spots to sit and read or people watch. We loved the layout of the apartment and never felt like we were on top of each other. The open plan combined with the smaller spaces, like the back deck, allowed us plenty of opportunities to come together or recharge alone if we needed it. The location is amazing, right in downtown. The weekend we were there we were able to get some amazing veggies and fresh fish from the farmer's market a block away. And Carolyn was a great host!

Charming and spacious apartment in a perfect location!!

My husband and I and three friends and our golden retriever spent a long weekend at this fun property! The living-kitchen-dining area is spacious and welcoming and is a wonderful place to just hang out along with the roof deck. The location in the heart of Stonington Borough could not have been more perfect. You can walk everywhere— great food and shopping just steps away! Awesome farmers market on Saturday and we bicycled up to Westerly Rhode Island and Watchhill one day and bicycled to a gorgeous winery another day. Mystic is also an easy bike ride or short drive away. Another day we went kayaking which is also close by. The owner, Carolyn, is super accommodating and helpful with lots of good info and suggestions— she even kept our golden retriever when we were out and about! Will definitely plan on staying here again 🌞
