About this property

Charming and Unique Beach and Town Sleeps 7

I've been a Super host on another platform for 9 years and thought I'd give VRBO a try. This is my home, not a hotel- a turn of the century renovated mill house with a private fenced in yard, steps from town, minutes by car to some of the best beaches anywhere. Guests have liked my eclectic design. 7 people can fit comfortably in 4 bedrooms (1 king, 1 full, 2 twins in one bedroom, 1 twin in another= 7). Plus parlor, kitchen, living and dining areas. Well behaved pets are welcome. Beach chairs provided. Each bedroom air-conditioned. The nearby towns of Westerly, RI (walking distance) and Stonington, CT have been rated Best Small Town Living. Winery, aquarium (in Mystic-10 minutes down I95), great restaurants and bars. The property is located in a unique residential and commercial zone, so there's a shared driveway (great neighbors)-please be sure to park your cars to the left closest to the house (as you're facing the river and boat builder's compound). Yep, there's a train that runs regularly, and church bells that chime. Some road and sidewalk traffic-this is not a country home. But you have the whole house, lots of privacy, (if I'm in town I live in the tiny studio connected through a passageway and locked door located in the "pink bedroom") and access to friendly, walkable small -town living, with the most amazing beaches a short drive away. Wonderful Westerly has grown leaps and bounds in the past few years, but kept its small town charm--with new restaurants, bars, bakeries, nearby cafe's, kayaking and biking, the brilliantly beautiful Wilcox Park and library, and the United Theater offering music, films, dance-the jewel in the crown. All a 7-10 minute walk around the corner. OH, and music lovers, don't forget the Knickerbocker! And the Frosty Drew Observatory! The casinos are less than 20 minutes away, closest vineyard/winery about 7 minutes down the road towards Stonington. Or go up RT1 in Rhode Island for Newport, Naragansett, Misquamicut...We have the best of both states right here in Pawcatuck (Stonington). Beer lovers? Try Grey Sail, also 'just around the corner'. Yes, there are ghost tours, festivals almost every summer weekend, and, if you check out my reviews on the 'other' platform, this seems to be quite a cozy but expansive, 'charming and unique' stay for all concerned.
PS: yay for compost recycling--new garbage small bin -the green one for food scraps (no Tomahawk bones please)-please put that green bag on TOP of regular garbage in the BROWN bin outside; bottles, cans, cardboard in the BLUE bin. FYI, Garbage night is THURSDAY (pick up at 6am Friday) -just yellow bag outside with blue bin. (Leave the brown bin by the house) I'm usually around to do it. Used Sheets, towels on the floor in downstairs bathroom please, when you leave. If you feel like starting a laundry load--FANTASTIC, please don't overstuff the washer--laundry supplies below the machines. Also, please turn OFF the kitchen overhead lights if you leave the house; when you vacate, please remember to turn off all lights/AC. THANK YOU!

Nice Stay

Very nice home. Beds were sooo comfortable. The train she mentioned were only passenger trains so could barely hear them and the church bells just a nice chime in the background in quiet moments. Nice neighborhood for walks. The host was very helpful and friendly

Lived in home in an absolutely great location

We really enjoyed this older home with friendly and supportive host. Expect some patina on things and some uneven floors typical of an older home. Spacious, and everything works. Like a visit to grandmas all in all. Totally recommend that you enjoy this honest property
