This was our first family trip with the parents, siblings and babies. It was amazing! The home was a great place to gather together and create memories. The home was safe, quiet, clean and the owners even got a pack and play and high chairs for the kids! I would definitely come back to this location. The owners were very responsive and helpful with recommendations and late check out. Highly recommend them!!
Lovely spot very close to downtown Stonington. Very clean and stocked with a few staples. Good baby supplies like high chairs and pack ‘n play. Very comfortable beds.
We’ve stayed in a variety of different places and locations, all perfect in their own way; this place I can say has been our favorite for our family. We stayed for the weekend with our adult children and two small grandchildren, and it was perfect. Exceptionally clean; VERY comfortable, the beds were like sleeping on a cloud! Walking distance to the village, and small local beach, and a very quick drive to Mystic. This little getaway will be a favorite memory for us! Our host was perfectly responsive, very clear instructions. The house was so well appointed. I can’t say enough as to how great the home was. Thank you!!
We loved our stay at Gerard’s beautiful home! It was clean, spacious and beautiful. Gerard was extremely responsive and friendly. We very much look forward to going back!
This was a great experience all the way through our stay. Gerard was extremely responsive and provided excellent recommendations for local food and activities. Accommodations were perfect and accurate. I recommend this house for anyone staying in the Stonington area.
The place was exactly as described. It was a very well appointed place, the amenities even included high chairs, baby crib, iron and ironing board, coffee and tea, oil and vinegar. Our group loves to eat and cook, and for the first time, we did not have to buy our cooking supplies. The host was also very responsive and addressed our queries quickly. The only thing I would recommend is to change the door knob of the 2/F bathroom to allow for locking. Otherwise, the place was almost perfect.
We had a great stay! We had two families and the space was perfect for that! Very kid friendly with pack n plays and high chairs. Would definitely stay here again!
An absolutely amazing stay for my family at Great Gull's. Gerard was a tremendous host; responsive, polite and frankly a joy to communicate with. We had a large family groups staying with us for an extended wedding weekend. Our place served as the hub for my family and it could not have been better. The house is exactly as described with 5 bedrooms, two living rooms and kitchens and a fantastic yard that makes it so easy to host. The location is amazing. Walkable to the Borough of Stonington, a 5 minute ride to Mystic and 10-15 minutes to Westerly. It was the hub of Stonington/Mystic wedding festivities. We've stayed in many AirBnBs and there are many we loved but this place is special and it was truly hard to leave. We'd come back in a second!
Great stay. The host was super responsive this was perfect for a Christmas holiday with two kitchens and two separate living spaces. Even with a big snow storm the host had the driveway clean early in the day. Would book again very cute, short walk to the water in stonington
We loved our stay in Stonington! We were a large group of adults and children and there was more than enough space for us to utilize! The soccer field across the street got a lot of use with the kids, and we were walking distance to playgrounds and restaurants. Close to all Mystic activities. Our host was communicative and super responsive. Thank you for a great stay!
Second time staying here, would stay here again in a heartbeat! Amazing for families or big groups. They are incredible hosts and respond quickly to everything you need.
Beautiful home close to so many activities! Gerard was a great host!
We had a wonderful stay and couldn’t recommend it more. The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The location was perfect—quiet and charming, yet close to downtown Stonington, Mystic, great restaurants, shops, and the water. The host was excellent: responsive, welcoming, and full of helpful local recommendations. The space itself was spacious with a relaxing atmosphere that made it easy to unwind. We would absolutely stay here again.
Our two families + pup thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We appreciated the well-equipped kitchens - with spices, coffee and creamer, tea, as well as anything you need to prepare dinner (even a cheese grater, which I needed!). WiFi was great (no complaints from our teens) and TVs included streaming subscriptions so we could watch all sorts of holiday movies and sports. Great location - so close to Mystic and walkable to quaint Stonington Borough & the lobster trap tree. Appreciated the stress-less checkout. Thanks so much for having us!
We had such a great stay here! The communication was excellent from start to finish — super responsive and helpful. The place was very clean, in a great location, and exactly as described in the listing (always such a relief when that’s the case!). They even gave us a late checkout without us having to ask, which was such a thoughtful touch. Would absolutely stay here again!
We had a great stay. The host was timely and the house was super clean and nice. Would absolutely recommend to someone looking for a great location near downtown Stonington.
The place was exactly as advertised and great for a family vacation. It was a good location, close to Mystic and all the attractions, but not directly in the craziness. Highly recommend this place.
Very communicative and accommodated our travel schedules, would stay again!
This was a fantastic place for a large group attending events at the winery down the street. We hosted our rehearsal dinner and farewell breakfast indoors due to rain. While the outdoor space is beautiful, the weather didn’t cooperate—but the indoor space was more than sufficient and comfortable for our group. Communication with Gerard was excellent throughout. We would absolutely recommend this property and would happily stay here again.
Family of 4 and family of 3 rented out the double unit and had a great stay! Hosts were responsive and very flexible with check in time. Cute and quiet little town, good fit for our group. Home was very clean! No clutter, well equipped kitchen, comfortable living area. Easy to access Mystic and the various activities. Host provided great restaurant options. Flexible for check out time as well! Would highly recommend and would stay again!
Amazing spot! Can’t wait to stay again
Gerard was awesome - provided detailed instructions in advance, replied instantly to questions, and was very accommodative to requests like late check-in/check-out based on availability. The place was very clean, and we enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen.
I can't say enough how perfect this spot was for our family weekend! Plenty of room for all inside, with a great yard for the grandchildren to run around. The host was very helpful and attentive; the walking distance to shops in town was just right; the historic charm of the town was amazing, and the beach was beautiful! If we are looking for a spot in this area again we will definitely try to book this house again!
The house was so clean and spacious!! Gerard was such a kind and attentive host!
Great stay.
