About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Cozy in-town cottage at harbor's edge w/ garden, 4 kayaks, walk to downtown.

Relax literally cove side in this adorable and cozy cottage with close up views of Stonington Harbor, distant islands, and the active harbor vista of lobster boats, schooners and kayakers just outside your windows. The cottage interior offers a light-filled, open plan with beamed cathedral ceilings adding to a spacious feel. The simple yet well equipped kitchen opens to the living/dining area. The bedroom (queen bed) is off the living room (additional LR queen sleeper sofa, too). The bathroom has a spacious walk in shower. The cottage is water facing on two sides, and nice grassy yard and stone patio. Including the lot above, the setting provides one of the larger intown, waterfront properties on Stonington Harbor, with incredible views, and ample parking, too. A small footbridge crosses to the owner's adjacent property (Vrbo 30315) with easy access to kayaks and shorefront. With the harbor and array of nearby islands to explore, this property offers exceptional kayaking. Note: While there is an added sleeper sofa to accommodate a party of 4, the more open design of the cottage works best for 2. Likewise, there are steps leading to the cottage. Not appropriate for the infirm. Proximity to ocean and seawall makes it unsuitable for toddlers or young children.
Make yourself comfortable in this cottage, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony or patio. A Smart television along with a DVD player are provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Relaxing and Scenic

This was our second stay at this charming harborside cottage. It is such a wonderful place to unplug and unwind. Although there is WiFi, we didn’t need it because we were too busy sitting outside and enjoying the view of the harbor. The furnishings are cozy and complete. Walking distance to downtown Stonington. Easy drive to Acadia or Bar Harbor. Can’t recommend enough! Fantastic!

Stonington cottage on bay

Cute cottage on the harbor in small lobster fishing village. Not too very much to do in this village so 1 night would have been enough unless you just wany to chill and read a book or a puzzle. If that is the case you better bring your own as there are limited things to do at cabin! They could use some new puzzles - perfect place to sit in front of window with puzzle and watch lobster boats go by! Cottage clean and has all kitchen items you need. I did reach out to owner prior to our stay a couple of times with questions and she never responded so no communication there.

Cute little cottage

My husband and I had a wonderful time. This cottage was comfortable and clean. Perfect for 2 adults. I will say it was a little hard to get our luggage and supplies in and out down the hill to the cottage. The host apparently supplies a wagon so make sure you make arrangements for it a head of time. We spent a few days over at Acadia but be ready for a fairly long drive. Enjoyed the town of Stonington. Thank you for sharing your property with us.

Wonderful cozy cottage! Walking distance is a small (extremely small) main st area that has fantastic small town charm. Several dining options in town (with many more a drive away), along with a great restaurant only a few houses down from the cottage. For those that choose to eat in, the cottage is ready for you to put your culinary skills to work, filled with cookware just like home. While small and not meant for large groups this cottage is great for a couples get away or a small family looking to get away from the hustle and bustle. Great view of the harbor and islands. My only regret has nothing to do with the cottage itself and that was missing the Spring Fling at the Opera House which is also in walking distance. Looking forward to a future stay in such a wonderful area.

Peaceful night

I stayed in this cottage for one night, and I had a very peaceful time. Unfortunately, all of the local restaurants were closed due to staffing shortages, so I couldn't really venture out and get a feel for the area. I was, however, able to pick up a fresh pizza at the well stocked local market right when I checked in to the cottage. Owners, who live on the property in a separate home, gave me free access to their garden. Yummy cherry tomatoes! It was rainy and cold, but the cottage was cozy and had many amenities to make the stay very comfortable. I loved watching the working harbor in action. If I could, I would stay here for a week or two and really recharge. Owners were readily available and responsive. Highly recommend!

Cozy Site on the Harbor

We were impressed with the cleanliness and furnishings of the house. In many rentals we often find furniture and kitchen items to be inexpensive items that fill the need and not much more. In this case the furnishings were antiques that appeared to have been maintained and loved by the owner. The kitchen had everything we could have wanted. The location is a short walk to town and at the same time a quiet place to watch boats, kayakers and birds. This is a great place!

Just like a honeymoon!

It’s just like it says: a rustic cottage located just above the water and looking out on a very busy working watermen community coming and going on their lobster boats. Everything you need is available. Just a short walk into the town and very quiet at night under the stars. Barbara very helpful and friendly. We’ll go back again!
