When I started looking for a rental property for extended family and friends I will admit I’d never heard of Stonington. We wanted a home large enough for my husband, myself, our two (big) kids, and two more adults. We wanted a place we would be comfortable spending lots of time at “home” due to the pandemic. I can’t say enough about how much we loved our stay. We made use of the many kayaks on property, ate dinner on the deck overlooking the harbor every night, and even saw a sailboat race come through the harbor one day.
We enjoyed lobster, Maine blueberries, oysters, and steamers.
When the oven didn’t work well I sent a message to the owner Barbara, who responded within minutes and had it repaired within a day.
The location is walking distance to downtown Stonington, where you’ll find ample takeout options and a delicious ice cream stand.
We ventured (90 minutes) to Acadia National Park on a couple of our days, and walked down the road to take a puffin tour boat on another. We will miss the sights and smells of this beautiful cove.
