House holiday rentals in Essex

This was the perfect spot for what we were looking for as my son graduated from Conn College. The host was very responsive to my questions and flexible with check in times which we needed. House was exactly what was described and we had a wonderful time. Thank you!!

We loved staying at this home - it was the perfect place for our group of ten. The outdoor space was definitely the highlight, with the pool & spa being our favorite part of the trip. The only thing to note is that we weren’t supplied quite enough toilet paper or paper towels, though I did not reach out for more - It was the last evening when we ran out and we were leaving early the next morning. The trash requirements were a surprise after booking, but going to the transfer station was easy enough, and it is listed on the house rules. Overall, an excellent stay and would absolutely return!

Beautiful home, very clean, spacious and comfortable to stay with the family. We used the grill on multiple occasions and it was easy to use. The fire pitt was also enjoyable. The kitchen was well stocked, would bring own source of caffeine if you’re picky with your coffee though. Stephen, the host was very responsive and easy to reach when asked questions. The one thing I would recommend is to check in with the host if the pool is available to use prior to booking. Overall a great experience, would stay with them again.

A great place for family and friends. Very roomy, open kitchen to living comfort with many places to sit and socialize while preparing meals. Nicely decorated and very comfortable accommodating furniture. All the amenities. Every bedroom a king size bed with some rooms offering even more sleeping spaces. The pool pristine, perfect temperature and seating for those chatting on the sidelines while others swam. A simple walk downtown. In many cases the walk downtown was quicker than the ride downtown. My family truly enjoyed this vacation. My grand daughter (4) loved the home. Everyone was comfortable and had a great time.. Jason friendly and available before, during and at close. I highly recommend this gem in Mystic, Connecticut.

House was great lots to do around the house and inside the house. We came to visit with some young ones and we had a great time. AJ was always responsive and very friendly. We would highly recommend if you are traveling with a family such as I did. We will be back next year to visit our cousins again. Thank you AJ for a great experience.

Great location, private and comfortable. Close to wineries and breweries. Very clean and convenient. I highly recommend.

We had a lovely stay at Eric's home. The home exceeded our expectations and we felt right at home. The decor was warm and inviting. Everything you could possibly need was in the stunning, modern kitchen. The beds were all comfortable and we slept very well. The property was very peaceful. We enjoyed seeing deer, turkeys and hawks each day. The fixtures in the home were modern, clean and high-end. It was great being so close to Greenport with it's wonderful restaurants and shops. We can't wait to return.

We really enjoyed our time at Elizabeth Jane's place. The home is spacious and quaint, with nice furnishings, a tasteful colonial feel and easy access to downtown Litchfield and the Berkshires. The bucolic setting is lovely - scenic, relaxing and peaceful.

This lovely home is near the adorable town of Chester, and surrounded by beautiful nature. It’s fun to poke around, and get a coffee or dinner. We felt like we walked into a Katherine Hepburn movie! The house is 20 minutes away from Wesleyan, and it makes a great place for a whole family if you are visiting a student. We would gladly stay again.

Fantastic cute spot in Old Saybrook. Key things for future guests to know - there is no A/C in the winter months so the air can get a bit stale / stuffy in the house. Plus there is no washing machine / dryer in the house, so defo bring enough clothes!

Michael and Alyssa’s property was as described - actually felt more spacious than we expected. The layout was perfect for our party and TV/Wi-Fi facilities were excellent. The weather was inhospitable but they can’t be blamed for that!

Can not recommend more! Beautiful house and perfect location! Would love to come back. Kids loved the beach and finding shells and little sea creatures in low tide!

This home was beautiful! The location had amazing views, very quiet but lots of restaurants/ coffee shops/ activities nearby. Cindy was so welcoming and responsive, would recommend to anyone!

Chelsea was communicative and helpful about her beautiful house. It had all we needed, was well appointed, beautifully decorated and in a gorgeous natural setting. We spent time lounging in the living room as a family and it was so comfortable. Top notch! Grab this place now!

What a great little get away place. Clean and very private. Hope to be back soon. Would highly recommend staying there.

Lauren’s quaint farmhouse is peaceful and comfortable tucked down a side street in East Haddam yet close to everything. We loved the quiet neighborhood and the obvious care that Lauren put into fixing up and furnishing the charming old farmhouse.

There’s so much to love about this charming open plan beach cottage! We especially enjoyed the water views, hearing the birds, and eating on the breezy porch. It was sparkling clean and stocked with everything you’d need, from comfortable beds and towels to many thoughtful essentials like hand and dish soaps, tea and coffee pods, paper towels/toilet paper, and shampoo/conditioner. Eileen is a gracious and responsive host — she was particularly understanding when we had to reschedule our visit. Thank you for a wonderful stay, Eileen, and we hope to return!

My husband, dog, and I LOVED our stay here- so much that Danielle accommodated for us to stay an additional day! It was the perfect location. Private enough where we felt secluded, but yet right off of a main road with so many great restaurants to walk to! The beach was about a 5 minute walk, and left us with the perfect spot and feeling like we had the beach completely to ourselves the days we were there. We are already talking about going back, and can’t wait to plan our next trip. Thanks so much!

Rosemary was an excellent host and the home was clean, well stocked and felt very comfortable as a home away from home while traveling. We especially enjoyed the community’s private beach, using the provided parking pass, which was clean and calm water for children. After checkout I had left a pair of glasses and Rosemary let me know right away and assisted me in retrieving them before we left town which was much appreciated. The amenities for staying with a child were so helpful (changing table, pack & play, high chair, baby gate for stairs, beach toys). Would definitely recommend. Thank you!

My husband and I had a wonderful beach getaway at Claudias Beach house! Easy check in, and oh my as soon as you walk in it smelled amazing and the home was squeaky clean! Everything was exactly as pictured, it was wonderfully quiet and the seating areas outside were so private and serene. My husband loved the outdoor shower, what a bonus! The beach was so nice and only about a 5 minute walk away! This home is situated where it's so quiet yet just a couple minutes away you'll find all kinds of stores and restaurants, talk about convenience! I highly recommend staying and look forward to returning for a longer visit next time!

Great stay! Although it was a rainy weekend, we had a great weekend!! There were close restaurants and coffee shops and the house itself was perfect. Great aesthetic to the home, very cozy and relaxing.

Had a great time - beach was great for kids and the house was super clean and comfy to stay in. Plenty of things to do in the niantic area!

Perfect place for a family vacation! This was hands down the most well stocked kitchen of any Airbnb I have ever stayed in! Made cooking meals for a big group a breeze. The house is spacious and beautiful! We grew up in this neighborhood just 2 blocks away and it was so fun to be back! Could not recommend more highly!

This house and host exceeded all expectations. House was historic facing the CT River & Goodspeed Opera House. Great sunsets. House is clean and well appointed with comfortable beds and bathroom facilities. Kitchen is spacious and eating areas comfortable. Andrea is extremely responsive and accommodating. Will be back again.
